We will be highly recommending this place to this place to all our friends and family. The home... More

To refer to River Cottage as "a lovely B&B" is akin to calling Chatsworth a pretty weekend house in the country. The reference simply does not do justice to the sublime setting and level of taste and sophistication of the decor within and the landscaping without. It's greatest amenity, however, is the genuine warmth of the welcome and the unstinting... More

Spent 3 days here and enjoyed it unreservedly. Would definitely return. The rooms are beautifully decorated with some lovely touches & the hosts are excellent company with lots of useful advice on places to eat and walks to take. Breakfast could keep you going all day. Superb location next to the river and so relaxing to sit there drinking tea... More

just back from a 2 night stay & we loved the place! Good sized comfy bedroom with a very large ensuite in a pretty cottage with a lovely riverside garden. The main road definitely does not detract from the picturesque location. Gilly & John are delightful hosts & their breakfasts are tasty & plentiful. We will return!

Would absolutely recommend a stay at Gilly and John's lovely... More

I stayed at River Cottage for three nights hoping to escape London for a while. It was everything I hoped for - warm welcome, comfortable spacious room and magnificent bathroom, beautiful location, good public transport and lovely breakfasts. It's a warm well-lit house well furnished. I particularly enjoyed the locally sourced food, the home-made preserves and fresh granary bread. Leaving... More

I stayed at River Cottage with my wife for a couple of nights at the beginning of December. It was the last weekend that John and Gilly were open this year. The cottage is very well decorated and appointed. It was just the place that I had in mind for a peaceful weekend away. It is great for couples and... More
