Very nice place with a lot of rules

This was a very nice bed and breakfast. The grounds were beautiful. The owners take great care of their place. The were just overwhelming, very specific on what you could do and not so. Many rules to follow. I would not stay there again.

Lovely B&B near Henley

Excellent stay in Handywater cottages in a cosy converted room with a view of a meadow. It was very well heated on a cold night and very comfortable. Lovely breakfast and warm hospitality from Natalie. Would love to come back in summer and stay a little longer!

One night stay after a wedding

Very comfy B&B with excellent hosts. We were allowed to check in early as we were going to a wedding nearby which was a nice touch.
