River Cottage is an idyllic getaway for anyone in need of a peaceful retreat. The charming location immediately beside the River Wissey has cosy accommodations and scenic views, make it a perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. The riverside patio and colourful garden add to the tranquillity and give a serene space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The added convenience of having a community-run village pub within walking distance adds to the overall charm of this holiday retreat.

We live next to the cottage and are available to assist with any concerns or offer recommendations on local attractions and activities.

The friendly and welcoming village of Stoke Ferry contains a local corner shop within a few minutes walk of the cottage, Pizza and Chinese takeaways, and an award winning community run village pub serving tasty meals and real ales.
