A Little Piece of Heaven

So as I write this review I have just returned from Riverside Cottage. I just loved the sound of running water and being able to sit alongside this river while you have your morning coffee or whatever… More

Response from the owner

Hi, I am mortified having taken so long to respond to such a lovely review, in mitigation TripAdvisor used to notify us when a review had been posted but no longer do so and as we have very few bookings on anything other than our website on cost grounds we completely missed the review. Daphne makes all the cakes and after 22 years has just about got it right, would you like the recipe? Again thank you so much Michael & Daphne.

We stayed at this cottage for a week in late March, and found it comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. And despite an unexpected cold snap, it was always cosy and warm. The hosts clearly go… More

Response from the owner

Hi Mike, Goodness you must think how ungrateful we are to receive such a lovely review and particularly such a well thought out one too. TripAdvisor no longer send us a quick message telling us a review has been submitted and as we sell very few holidays other than through our own website as it is less expensive I put my hands up, I missed it. But anyway better late than never and thank you so much again. Michael & Daphne.

So pleased you enjoyed your stay, we try our best to make sure our guests enjoy their stay and reviews like yours really really make our day. Daphne has been making the same lemon drizzle cake now for twenty years so just beginning to get the hang of it now. Thank you very much. Michael & Daphne.

Thank you very much Peter, means a great deal when guests enjoy staying, glad Daphne got the cake right, she has only been baking them for seventeen years, so probably room for improvement. Michael and Daphne.

Response from the owner

Thank you very much for your lovely review, it means a great deal to us when our guests are happy with the cottage and enjoy their stay. In future we will recommend the walk along the railway line to the station as a very pleasant alternative to walking along the road. Regards Michael and Daphne.
