“Beautiful Place”
Stayed at River Nene Cottages for a weekend get together with old friends. Cottages are exactly as beautiful as the photographs or better. The gardens are lovely even in Autumn and you can sit in a beautiful pergola watching the boats going through the lock. We stayed on Barley Cottage with beautiful vaulted ceilings in the bedroom. We took a short drive into Stamford for shopping and finished it off with a strawberry gin at The George Hotel. Owners Stephen and Phillip were very welcoming. We will definately be going back.. what a find.

“private with pool”
A conjoined cottage, just off the A1 near Peterborough, which is very handy for travel from London. Charming cottage and very courteous hosts. The pool was a delight since it was a visit during the height of summer. Some lovely walks close to the cottage. Very secure and private.

Response from the owner Bless you and many thanks for your very kind review. I am glad you had a lovely time and that your three furry beasts enjoyed the surrounding countryside. As with most things in life there are some compromises, one of which is that the listed cottage building does not allow us to enlarge the windows. We appreciate the exposed beams are traditional brown at the moment and we are embarking on a complete change of internal scheme next year which will help address this. Many people do comment positively on the non shabby-chic'ness that has so often become the norm these days; quaint, quirky and traditional. With regard to the A1 we are about 500m off the road sited right next to the River Nene. The big positive of this for a lot of people is the shear convenience of simply turning off a major route. Yes, if the wind blows in our direction then we are affected by some road noise, but generally with a different wind direction and the noise of the water pouring over the river lock gates, one isn't always aware of this. This is only the second time in our 18 months of operation this issues has been raised by guests. As a business and a village we are currently in negotiations with Highways England to resurface the A1 past us with 'quiet tar'. Best wishes from us both !

“Quaint Comfortable Cottage - Quite Outstanding In Quality”
Most beautiful cottage, equipped to the highest standard, with everything you needed, even a cocktail shaker. Owners were very accommodating. Would love to visit again and perhaps stay longer.
