“Waking to sunshine with coffee by the riverbank offers a quiet escape, the cottages themselves providing comfortable, clean spaces with thoughtful touches like ample tea and coffee. Adjacent, the pub's large beer garden presents stunning river views and surprisingly reasonable, well-executed meals that even cater warmly to four-legged companions. It's a setting where the gentle pace of the landscape complements a genuinely accommodating atmosphere for all generations and their pets.”
