  • "Amazing property."

    Cottage by the river ticks all the boxes for us. Well appointed kitchen,comfy beds,hot tub and riverside location.The bonus was having the gardencentre with restaurant next door. The only downside we had was the nearest pub served terrible roast potatoes ! We would love to return for another very relaxing break.

  • "A beautifully designed cottage and gorgeous garden overlooking the river."

    Lots of places to sit with our morning cappucino (from the cafe next door) and enjoy the peaceful space. We're not really into hot tubs, but must admit it was perfect after a long day out before our evening meal. Would certainly stay here again.

  • "We had a great week."

    The cottage has everything you need. For us, a fully equipped kitchen was vital and anything provided was of high quality (especially wine glasses, which are often chunky in rental spaces). There were lots of comfy seating areas where we could relax and the garden views are second to none. Our host Sarah was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The information pack provided and the walking books gave us hints and tips on the local area. We will likely visit again and will recommend to our friends

  • "The banister at the top of the stairs on the landing was loose when we arrived, might need an additional screw or similar."

    Otherwise was lovely.
