"Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage. The decor is lovely, and the added Christmas lights was a really lovely touch. The setting on the river is beautiful. We managed some fishing before storm Darragh set in, went for a lovely walk along the river, then cosied up with the fire and watched the river outside. We will defo be back in the summer! Thank you so much".

"Thank you Dave and Sue for being such accommodating, genial and welcoming hosts. River Cottage is so comfortable, and the garden and river both absolutely stunning - for once the photos on Airbnb are actually realistic, if not better in reality! Boat and bread were super touches - all helped with the need to relax at the end of school holidays which is never easy but absolutely achieved here. We'll be back for sure!".

"We enjoyed a delightful short break in this lovely cottage to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was such fun to go out in the boat and explore the river in both directions. Eating outside in the garden watching wildlife was wonderful. We explored Ely cathedral on a day trip - such a special place. Dave and Sue made us very welcome and shared in their stained glass panels which Dave has restored beautifully. This is a great find and we will be back to continue our discovery of hidden Norfolk. Thanks for a great stay!".

"River Cottage was everything we hoped it would be. An idyllic location surrounded by nature and peace, we have enjoyed every moment. We wish we could take the terrace with us! To have such a view, framed by blue sky and beautiful landscaping, with boats moored in the background has been a real treat. Whether escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life, or even just using as a base to explore Norfolk, it is the perfect location. Thank you Dave and Sue for being so attentive yet respectful during our stay".

"We loved our stay at the River Cottage! Two nights was not enough, we came to England to visit our daughter and fell in love with the country. Your thought and detail in every part of this beautiful cottage is exquisite. The riverwalk trail was gorgeous in the AM after a rain. We highly recommend your gorgeous home to anyone & everyone. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven! Oh, and the gardens are amazing too".

Great location with plenty of places to visit, but ideal spot to just relax and let the world go by too. The local community pub had wonderful food and people were so friendly and welcoming. Dave & Sue were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble and Sue made us homemade bread on our arrival. Would definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning :) 10/10".

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Peaceful, quiet and with a lovely view of the river and the nature that surrounds it. And the garden - so full of colour!
Sue and Dave are superb hosts. So much attention to detail - including the fresh bread and milk on arrival. And both available and happy to help, should the need arise.
I would say that this is one of the best self catering accommodations we have stayed in for space, comfort and out door space. So relaxing. We'd love to visit again in the future"
