Step inside to a cosy, studio-style space designed for unwinding together.

Outside, the waterside patio is made for unhurried days; soak in the private hot tub, light the fire pit and dine alfresco with the BBQ. Sun loungers and outdoor furniture invite you to linger by the river, and off-road parking for two cars adds to the ease of your stay.
