The cottage is superbly positioned on the south side of the river, just round the corner, as it were from the main watercourse. This meant that on the one really fine day we enjoyed we could open the patio doors, step out and sit on the chairs provided and while away most of the day simply watching the boats go by and enjoying the antics of amateurs trying to manoeuvre boats into their berths (funny how you become an expert when you’re watching, even though you’ve never driven one of those things!). Furthermore regarding location, although it’s a bit of a dog leg to get the car to the cottage, on foot it’s really close to all the amenities. There is parking available directly outside but it’s insufficient if all the cottages are occupied simultaneously. That doesn’t matter as there’s a sort of general carpark just twenty yards away. As to the cottage itself I would describe it as on the way to being rather good. “On the way” as it’s clear that refurb is being undertaken bit by bit. The patio doors are clearly new (compared with the website photo) and I’d say the carpets are too. The cooker looks a bit ancient but we didn’t use it so that’s where my critique ends. As apartment owners ourselves we know you simply can’t refurb everything all at once, so we weren’t bothered. The cottage is cosy rather than spacious – it was absolutely ideal for a couple, and as it was just myself and my wife we really enjoyed it. We used the twin bedroom – both beds were nice and comfy and it was very peaceful (if you don’t count the swans early in the morning!). The double at the back is quite tight for space and I think if four people were in residence in poor weather it might get a little overcrowded. But for us it was a very nice stay, everything worked, and the admin side of things was handled very smoothly. I can’t comment on value for money as we are used to Spanish prices where we own our apartment and this was our first time in a holiday home in the UK for years. When booking it did seem comparable to other similar accommodation. All in all, would we stay again? If we were restricted to the UK, then definitely yes.

Clean but tired property, bathroom could do with a lick of paint as there were stains down the wall from where it had gotten to hot in there at some stage and an insect or 2 had been squashed against the wall and left. One easy and cheap fix would be a chain on the bath and kitchen plugs Not so easy to pull out with long nails! View was somewhat marred by a boat moored outside the whole time we were there , somewhat puzzled by this as Bure Cottage is listed with your own mooring space outside your cottage. Couldn’t figure out how to turn the oven on the first night did get in touch with the owner who did reply but not with instructions on how to work it Which I did after 2 days The cooker though had seen better days

Very enjoyable stay.cottage very warm and cosy.Plus point ,just a short walk to The Boat Shed Bar.

The cottage was very well equipped apart from our attempts to use the tin opener ending in failure so we had to ask a neighbour to lend us theirs. Lovely, quiet area and a friendly atmosphere.
