I had an absolutely great week at River Cottage. A stunning location, with great view and walks, from the doorstep. The cottage was very clean on arrival, and was well appointed. The three local pubs, and cosy tearoom, all served great food. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful stay at River View Cottage as a family of four. Our children (age 3 and 5) loved playing in the river every day and luckily we had perfect weather all week. The cottage had everything we needed including teatowels, washing up liquid, bin bags, etc. Everything we needed was thought of. We walked to two of the local pubs, both were friendly and we were able to find seats outside. The walks along the river both ways are beautiful and our children enjoyed watching the cows cool down in the river. We took water shoes, buckets and fishing nets and spent hours playing by the river.
