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.

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.

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.

The accommodation was beautiful with more than enough facilities to our needs.

We went as a family of 10 with age ranging from 10 to 70+ and everyone loved the accommodation and location. I highly recommend this place as the host Dan replied to all my queries quickly and was not strict on timings. We had a fabulous time and this was due to the accommodation being so great!
