Excellent,
We had a wonderful stay in River Cottage. The house is fabulous, with everything you could possibly need. The views of the river are spectacular and we loved sitting in the conservatory watching it racing by. This house doesn't want for anything and was perfect for our family. We would highly recommend it.

What a wonderful find. The views are absolutely stunning and the cottage clean, spacious. Have stayed in many holiday rentals over the years and this I would say is the best. Sarah is a wonderful host and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for lending us your home

Fab stay
Fab week stay within a beautiful location. Amazing for wildlife lovers and if you love wild swimming , kayaking perfect location with private access to the river straight from property we where in every day. Few improvements (personal opinion) Garden could be cut back especially from steps down to the river front and a few stingy nettles to the entrance to the river so be careful not to be stung. Hot tub - extra cost for this even with the price of energy increasing is overly expensive especially for the age and size. £80 is a reasonable price for a weeks rental. Poster on recycle bin in kitchen needs to be removed as this is not correct to what actually goes in each bin. Window cleaner -arrived on Thursday no communication that he was coming it was a bit of a surprise when coming back up to the house from the river to hear someone in the garden. Communication about this would be helpful. Tennis - we did ask owner about but did not receive a response on how or where to book and play. There is a playing field up a lane by the primary school where there is ample room to play and also football pitch with goals. Amenities in village - Pub in village at present is not serving food. Reasonable priced for drinks and has a nice beer garden out the back. Chippy - fab chippy in village , owners a fab and you can ring with your order Local shop - watch what you are charged as twice used staff are very nice but both times where overcharge.
