John phoned me while I was on my way to let me know that he would be out when we arrived and that he wasn't expecting to be back until late so he would see me in the morning and that he had left the key in the door for us. The kitchen area was very well equipped with everything we needed and there was an extra blanket and clock radio supplied. It's a really peaceful site with a beautiful view and the decking area really adds to the space - a perfect spot for breakfast overlooking the river. John and his son were extremely helpful and I will definitely be returning.
