We truly fell in love with this beautiful property, and didn't want to leave! We were a family of two adults, with a 12 year old and a 9 year old. We loved the generous room sizes and the lovely, open way the dining space, sitting room, library and further sitting room all connected together. The long terrace where we ate all our meals has a stunning view over the large garden and river below, and afforded many sunsets. The property was spotless, well-equipped and thoughtfully arranged throughout, and cooking was a pleasure on the large stove top. Natalie and her husband Matthew were charming and helpful with our check-in process, and also took trouble to make sure there were bikes of the right sizes for all of us. We can totally recommend the additional outlay of hiring the kayaks and bikes for the week, there were some very pleasant rides, with not too many hills, and the kayaks were brilliant. The children particularly loved being able to kayak to a delightful riverside restaurant 100m downstream to have an after dinner ice-cream under the trees festooned with coloured lights. Daily river swimming was another highlight. Overall one of our favourite holiday rentals so far, and we'd love to come back!
