We had a lovely stay in Kettering. The house is tastefully and comprehensively furnished. The kitchen in particular was well equipped. The gardens are nicely planted and the verandah was a great spot to enjoy morning coffee. We found the king bed in the master bedroom too firm for our liking. Shower was good and water hot. Some cool evenings during our stay necessitated the use of the reverse cycle aircon unit in heat mode which, so long as the doors into the living room were shut, kept the kitchen and dining area nice and warm. It wasn't cold enough to employ the large woodburner in the living room but, judging by its size, it would have kept the rest of the house toasty. Plenty of chopped wood was available.
Kettering harbour is an easy 30min walk down the lane and across the highway, perfect for our morning constitutional!
Oh and Marcus left us a very nice bottle of red. Thank you!
