We loved this gorgeous little property - clean and beautifully maintained with a short and easy walk to everything the Thames main street has to offer. Chris was an excellent and easy going host and of course Dingo was the star of our stay

Immaculately presented house in good location.

House is an interesting conversion in a historical part of Thames. We enjoyed local walks as well as exploring further. Chris is a great host who made us feel very welcome.

Wonderful place and wonderful stay.

Chris was an excellent host and the property was exceptionally tidy, modern and well catered for. Our two girls had a great time walking with Dingo and Chris and it was lovely of him to offer. We would recommend this place to anyone and will absolutely be returning! Thanks again and we will be back :-)

We loved staying at the property. The proximity to town was great, the beds were very comfy, the character and charm of the interior was fabulous, the bathroom was a great size with a large shower (and really good water pressure), the kitchen had everything that we needed and the provisions Chris left for us in the fridge and fruit bowl were very much appreciated.The two bedrooms are upstairs, there are about 18 stairs to climb to reach the upper level. The stairs are wooden and slightly narrow. We would certainly recommend this property to others who are looking to stay in the Thames area.

A gorgeous, newly renovated two story small house within a 10-15 minute walking distance of Thames shops. I loved the sunny bedrooms upstairs which feel like you’re in the treetops.There is a proper kitchen and a washing machine, a small deck and easy parking. The host, Chris, is very helpful but not intrusive, and has a real eye for beauty in the house design and decoration, so it’s beautiful. One caution is the steep staircase, which would be difficult for anyone with balance issues.
