Wonderful cottage in a perfect location!

3 women on a girls' trip mid-October 2022. The cottage and gardens are beautiful - we sat outside in the sunshine and easily walked everywhere. We would recommend and would love to return! Two suggestions: some of the lights wouldn't turn on, in the main bath and in the living room. And it would be nice if the owner provided bath soap. Thank you for providing a fabulous getaway!

Absolutely awesome especially the flowers

Absolutely awesome, especially the flowers. River cottage was the epitome of an English garden. Location in Dock Square was ideal, walking distance to everything.. The cottage refurbishment and the interior design matched the exterior quality. 5 stars plus!

Exceptional Cottage!

Loved our stay! The cottage is pristine and so relaxing. The location and views are perfect and Jamie was wonderful to deal with. Our favorite meal in Kennebunkport was actually the evening we grilled fresh lobsters and scallops out on the deck. Highly, highly recommend River Cottage!

The River Cottage is absolutely wonderful in all ways.

Very comfortable and so close to restaurants and shops. Walking distance to everything. The cottage is so comfortable and having the river as your backyard is great. Will return next summer.
