Stella’s retreat is the perfect place to unwind. It is well equipped and spotlessly clean, with a small private garden. It is a shirt stroll into the old market town where you can find a small but well stocked Coop shop, a family run butchers and a choice of cafes and take away food facilities. There is also a choice of pubs with various food options. We enjoyed sitting by the river watching the boats and a trip to the coast on our weekend break.Look forward to a return visit soon.

We have stayed here twice. It's spotless with everything you need provided. Beautiful welcome scones, wine, flowers and dog goodies. Tea, coffee and milk there ready for your first drink.Nice garden furniture to sit outside. Garden is secure for dogs. Drive to park right outside. I saw someone had commented on traffic but we have never had a problem getting on or off the drive. We have always thought how quiet it is when we have walked to town. Plenty of pubs to walk to, we liked the Kings Head as the staff were very friendly and loved our dog. Great location to get out and about but plenty of walks around Loddon .

A fabulous holiday let clean, well equipped, comfortable. Private. Short walk to village. The. best welcome pack we have ever had. The owners were lovely. Can't say too much as it will be so popular we won't be able to book it again.
