Take a couples’ trip with your friends in this incredible property. Situated on the place where River Orwell and River Stour meet, you’ll have access to a private beach and a spot to park a small yacht (and a separate place for cars), plus incredible views. This would be great for a group of people who love wildlife, water sports and adventure.

As you step into the property you’ll find an entrance hall with places to store coats and shoes. Head up to the first floor for an open-plan living space which includes a kitchen, diner and lounge in one. Each has their individual merits, but the thing you’ll immediately notice is the huge windows and glass sliding doors which show gorgeous river views. It’s a lovely social space where you can cook, eat, relax and play games. Further along you’ll see a family bathroom and two of the bedrooms. Both are doubles, simply decorated and comfortable, and one has a balcony. Climb to the second floor for the final bedroom, a king-size with a vaulted ceiling, private balcony and an en-suite. It’s bright, romantic and the perfect private nook for alone time with your partner. Altogether there are four balconies overlooking the rivers with tables so you can enjoy a cup of coffee at the start of your day. Outside you’ll find an enclosed shingle garden, through which you can access the private beach. This is where you can store your boat for easy launching to the nearby water.

With the rivers, estuary and sea so nearby, this is a water sport enthusiasts’ dream spot. If you’d like more, take a day to enjoy the Alton Water Sports Centre (8.5 miles). Alternatively, hop on a ferry and visit the RSPB Stour Estuary (7 miles) for nightingales, bluebells and waterfowl.

Property was 5 star. and marked accordingly. I felt the number of e-mail and texts was excessive especially as the information about arrival and departure times was different to the information provided by the owner.
