This property is amazing. We had a wonderful week. We were a group of three generations, celebrating Grandad's retirement. The bedrooms gave enough flexibility. The main rooms were large enough for all of us. Having the separate lounge/gamesroom was a bonus. The very large kitchen/diner meant we could all easily eat together. There was an extremelyRead more ample selection of pots/pans/crockery/cutlery so that we were never short, even when the dishwasher was full. The owner was lovely and very generous. Hide

We stayed in the house as four generations and it was great for all of us. The location was great for access to the town.

Canal Bridge House is a perfect house for large family gatherings. We were 13 of us, aged 1 to 90 years, and never felt cramped. Ideal location for pushchair walks along the canal and to the town, but also more adventurous country walks. House exceptionally well equipped. Some nights can be noisy from events at the Rugby club but that did not spoilRead more our holiday. It was handy having shops within easy walking distance. Great stay and would totally recommend it. Great welcome pack too. Hide
