Riverside

Riverside is a two-bedroom cottage sleeping three, positioned on the bank of the River Nene in March. The property suits couples or small families wanting a quiet base with direct access to water and gardens; it's equally suited to friends sharing. March town centre, where you'll find shops, cafes and restaurants, lies within walking distance. The front garden includes a terrace and sitting area with furniture; at the back, French doors from the kitchen open onto an enclosed patio and garden.

Downstairs holds a living and dining room with Freeview Smart TV, a separate toilet, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, gas hob, microwave and fridge-freezer included. Upstairs are two bedrooms: one with a double bed (4ft 6in), one with a pull-out single (3ft), plus a bathroom with bath and shower over. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are provided. On-road parking is available outside.

The Fenland countryside around March offers walking and cycling routes for those who like being outdoors. The North Norfolk Coast sits about an hour's drive away if you want a day trip to beaches or coastal towns. Smoking is not permitted inside.
