This cottage looks fantastic on the website, but having read some of the other reviews, I was a bit concerned. However, the owners were very helpful and dealt with my concerns.
Just a word of warning (not a complaint), Silver Dawn is in a lovely location right on the river's edge, but please note it is quite a walk back up an unlit lane to the village. The lane when we went in October was flooded in parts and it would be difficult to walk down. However, there is a local taxis service which happily took us back.
Although it is a bonus to get a boat for your use, another word of warning is that the boat is very difficult to steer and therefore mooring up is very difficult. We did not use it much as with only two of us it would have been impossible to moor up. It also would have been nice when having the roof closed to be able to open the windows, but they where so old and covered in moss that they could not open.
It would have been nice to have had a coat rack and boot rack. Coats were draped over dining room chairs and boots left in the hallway which was untidy and inconvenient.
As mentioned in other comments, the main bin in the kitchen is too small for a large party and had to be emptied regularly. A large free-standing bin would be a solution.
As also mentioned in previous comments, the double bed in the rear bedroom had been supported on wooden blocks and a broken leg, but this didn't stop the bed from collapsing when one of our party got in. We could not use it.
Overall, this is a lovely and well-appointed house, it is just in need of some care and attention to rectify these issues. Dispute all of the above we did have a lovely holiday.
