An amazingly beautiful property in a stunning location. Gorgeous rooms and a lovely garden. The owner was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The cooked breakfast was delicious, and the dining room was like a room from a fairy story. Can't wait to come back for a longer stay next time

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!
