“We recognise and appreciate quality and thought this was the highest we had seen in a holiday rental.”

We loved the design of the house, the aspect and the layout.

The quality of the fixtures and fittings was outstanding - everything from the quality of the knives in the kitchen, to the kitchen aid, sound system, towels, sound system etc. We recognise and appreciate quality and thought this was the highest we had seen in a holiday rental.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the property to others or return for another visit.

Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us and enabling us to share great memories with friends.

“Sitting on the deck in the evening, enjoying the peace and tranquillity, only broken by glorious birdsong.”

We just wanted to let you know that we had the most wonderful week at Backwater. Your house is absolutely beautiful and we were very reluctant to leave yesterday! Your recommendations were spot on… Sitting on the deck in the evening, enjoying the peace and tranquillity, only broken by glorious birdsong was an absolute delight.

“Backwater really does cater for all ages. The house is stunning & everything was perfect.”

We all had a brilliant time including my 4-year-old son & father of nearly 80 - Backwater really does cater for all ages. The house is stunning & everything was perfect. We will definitely be booking to stay again in the future. The Kayak was excellent fun, a really lovely addition - we were out on the water every day.

“Backwater is an exceptional house in a wonderful location. The view across the water may stay with me forever.”

Backwater is an exceptional house in a wonderful location. The view across the water may stay with me forever. The packet of Lavazza in the coffee jar and the canoe on the deck made me smile. Easy comfortable space, high spec fixtures and fittings - and freedom. Hurray!
