Could have happily sat in the lounge/balcony and watched the river and wildlife all day!
But the bonus was could walk to the pub, hunt for source of Thames and even be adventurous on an inflatable assault course on a nearby lake.
Great place for all age groups.
Oh and we ate brilliantly in the pubs recommended in the visitors info pack.
The property did not live up to our expectations. The downstairs shower room is very small, as is the kitchen, and the main bedroom upstairs is open to the sitting room be,ow.
We had a problem with the hot water system, which the owner’s son fixed for us and kindly gave us 2 bottles of wine.
The family were very friendly and it was pleasant being next to the Thames. We also saw an Otter on the last evening. Overall OK: we chose the location, which was fine but the property is a bit mediocre. The weather was cold for a while and there was a serious draught around the front door.
We hebben twee fantastische weken doorgebracht in dit charmante huisje. Het uitzicht over het prachtige glooiende landschap was schitterend. Het huis zelf was brandschoon en van alle gemakken voorzien, waardoor we ons meteen thuis voelden.
We waren aangenaam verrast door de ruime parkeergelegenheid. De bewoners waren ontzettend behulpzaam en vriendelijk toen we te maken kregen met een lekke band, wat onze waardering voor de gastvrijheid van de omgeving alleen maar vergrootte.
De omgeving bood een overvloed aan activiteiten, met eindeloze wandelpaden om te verkennen en historische bezienswaardigheden zoals Stonehenge, prachtige abdijen en imposante kastelen om te bewonderen. Het was geweldig om zo'n rijke geschiedenis binnen handbereik te hebben.
Het huisje bleek ook een perfecte uitvalsbasis voor avonturen in nabijgelegen steden zoals Oxford en Londen. Het feit dat het treinstation Kemble op slechts twee kilometer afstand lag, maakte het gemakkelijk om naar deze steden te reizen zonder gedoe.
Kortom, ons verblijf in dit huisje was een onvergetelijke ervaring. De combinatie van het prachtige landschap, de schone en comfortabele accommodatie, en de overvloed aan activiteiten in de omgeving maakten het tot een perfecte vakantie. We zouden dit huisje zeker aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een rustige ontsnapping met veel mogelijkheden voor verkenning en ontdekking.
