The Old Fish House

Everybody loves The Old Fish House! With stunning river views it is a beautiful and peaceful cottage, yet a three minute walk from the nearest shop and the harbour.

There is a staircase between kitchen/diner and lounge so the cottage may not be ideal for children under 4 years old.
