Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Exactly what we were looking for to start the New Year and really switch off and relax. The cottage is around a 20 minute walk to the centre which can be accessed from a path near by which was ideal for us, we stayed with our toddler and dog so it did mean carrying the pushchair up the steps but it wasn't too difficult. Really dog friendly cottage with bowls and even a ball/ball thrower to use if needed.Just one big thing to note for the cottage itself, when we arrived it was -6 degrees outside and there was no heating on as the boiler had been switched off. Once we got this on, it took around 6 hours for the house to start to feel warm which meant we were wearing coats indoors all night, not ideal when you have a 2 year old in tow. But once we got this working it was perfect. We would stay again.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Heating not so good but there was a lovely cosy gas fire. Had a lovely holiday and would certainly recommend River Cottage.
