A family get together so 9 of us and our dogs. The house is so spacious and in such an amazing location. We visited during the heatwave in May so we spent a lot of time in the river. There is everything you need and the beds are really comfy. Would highly recommend and would definitely revisit.

Lovely house

Great house for multi generational group. First rate modern furnishings and equipment. Managed to walk directly from the house both days we were there in beautiful scenery. Only negative is it’s beside a busy junction and haulage business which can be quite noisy.

Special birthday get away

We stayed at this wonderful house in May 2024 to celebrate my mum's 80th birthday. As a party of 8, we had both properties and everything was immaculate and so well thought out, even the provisions for our dog. The area is beautiful and I would recommend this to anyone to wants some peaceful away time to relax and chill. Daniel was very accommodating and helpful. Would definitely return for a longer stay :)

Delightful riverside house

We really enjoyed our stay in these combined cottages which have been refurbished to a high standard. The setting beside the river is lovely - saw kingfishers and herons. Beds v comfortable, bathrooms good. Worth mentioning that all bedrooms are up stairs, but our party, whch included 2 with walking difficulties managed fine. We are very likely to come back

Outstanding

Children loved the river setting and kayaking. Houses were so well equipped. Outdoor seating by the river, maps, books, games and TV Saw kingfishers each day. Super place. Road quite busy, but disturbed our sleep very little. So many positives about the house and area outweighed the road noise.

Riverside House

Both sides of the house were very well maintained and the location on the river made for a very lovely setting. House utensils and furnishings were very well-equipped. Only complaint - being from Southern Africa we do enjoy cooking outside. We found that the outside and particularly the BBQ equipment could have been better maintained. We found the 2 x Webers to be very dirty and the outside area not well-maintained. This may have been due to the time of year and the recent bad weather but we feel more should have been done. All in all, a very enjoyable visit and would recommend to others.

A lovely cottage but.....

What a lovely cottage. Very well furnished and equipped, in a lovely location. The cottage is even nicer than the photos suggest. However, if you ha e young children ( our grandchildren are ages 8, 5, 4 and 3), the neighbour is likely to complain. We received a message from the owner, with a complaint about the children running around and being noisy. Isn't that what children do when they are excited to be on holiday? The cottage does have floorboards which are quite noisy, but to expect them to walk around quietly is not feasible. On booking we didn't realise it was a semi detached property. We were threatened with an early check out and were advised that the cottage had plenty of games to play with. It's such a shame as it somewhat spoilt our experience.

Best organised and equipped house we have rented. Cooking was a dream here. Everything was spotless. Host was extremely helpful and communication was great. The layout of the house is a bit different, with steep stairs to both bedroom wings, but two ground floor cloak rooms was a big bonus. The outdoor areas were nice but it was very windy when we visited so we did not get to enjoy it a much as we wanted to. The hot tub was great. The outlook is very lovely looking at the river and bridge. Though there is a large truck hauling company across the road, which did cause some hairy moments getting out of the drive as they careened over the bridge. Lovely little hamlet. Great location, to visit all the local historic houses. A great little pub over the river Square and Compass was excellent, great food, with rural views and river seating. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic find this property was. We had a wonderful stay with family and were well catered for in every aspect. The property has everything needed for a really enjoyable stay, from toiletries and kitchen appliances, to entertainment options like TVs in every room and a lovely hot tub! We rented both properties and it worked excellently for us as there was a big communal area for our three families to congregate, but plenty of space to escape and chill out in another room.
