      Such a beautiful, well-equipped cottage with wonderful views of the river and plenty of local birds and wildlife to keep you entertained. Highly recommended for a relaxing, tranquil stay.

      A perfect cottage in a delightful setting. We had a glorious week here and will return as soon as we can. The place is so well equipped, we couldn't think of anything in any room of the house that wasn't provided - even bird food was provided to attract the wonderful birdlife that visits the feeders. It is evident that this place is loved and cared for by the new housekeeper who went the extra mile to check that we were happy and comfortable. We had some excellent days out and enjoyed local walks - but quite honestly we could have quite happily enjoyed sitting inside or in the private garden watching the incredible view of the river.

      Riverside Cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The setting was beautiful and we particularly appreciated the bird feeders and access to top up bird food, it was lovely to watch all the different bird species. There was plenty of wood for the wood burner for the evenings, which made it very warm and cosy. The hamper was lovely too!
