The house was clean and spacious. As we had five dogs most of the time we were happy with the convenience of a nearby field to exercise them. We found the cooker a bit difficult to use, would have appreciated a bigger freezer section in the fridge, and that it was defrosted. It was frozen up and a bag of chips weee in there, we left them. Just a little bit attention needed to the wash basin hot tap, it didnât work, and the screws to the door knob into the lounge kept falling out. All in all with at couple of minor issues, it was a wonderful place for a family weekend. Thank you for letting use it.

The house was fabulous,right on the river,with plenty of room for all of us- we could be all together,or be in our own spaces.Wonderful.The bedrooms were lovely and beds so comfortable.Plenty of room outside to relax and enjoy the beauty of the river,and the hot tub was exc ellent- so relaxing after a day sightseeing.I thoroughly enjoyed being able to use our 51st Wedding Anniversary present of a kayak to paddle around on the river. So convenient for sights- either driving or by train.Swift response to slight problems we had,and helpful advice on trips we planned.Thankyou so much for allowing us our holiday in Coventina.Diolch yn fawr.
