“Fantastic” Lovely well appointed cottage, with period features. Comfy beds, and extensive dvd collection, loved the disney cartoons! We spent several lovely hours by the river at the end of the garden although i failed to catch the big chub, we saw numerous kingfishers and watched the bats as adrkness fell. Owners were great, we had cakes and a complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge when we arrived!! Owners also have green fingers and much fruit and veg was home grown and cheaply available. Our dog Zebedee loved it, although he was a bit confused by the hedgehog he met!! Will recommend to our friends.

“TO GOOD TO BE TRUE” When you go to the property the first thing that meets you is the warmth of Jacky and John. You are then shown your cottage which is wonderful. Your stay there then starts and whatever you like to do is all at hand ( walking fishing sightseeing or just relaxing) . I have been about ten times and have never been disapointed. I will also be going back for more. Its the ideal place to get away from the ratrace.

“You'd have to go a long way to find better than this” Jackie & John Spooner make all their guests extremely welcome including our dogs and are always willing to solve any problems that may arise, nothing is too much trouble for them. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped - home from home. The grounds are lovely and with the river at the end of the gardens there is always somewhere peaceful to sit and watch the ducks, swans and kingfishers. It is always difficult to leave at the end of our holiday but we keep on returning. We have made eight visits so far and there will be more to follow.

Guestbook for Pump cottage

Of all the holiday cottages we've stayed in (and we've stayed in quite a few!!!!) This one out shines all the others. The age and quaintness of the cottage. the decor. the equipment, the friendliness of the owners the spacious gardens, well the list is endless !! Superb, cannot be too highly recommended.
The Mundies and robbie the dog.

What a fantastic week we have had.Temperatures of 26plus and no rain. Have spent ages by the river and eaten every meal outside. We have been coming on and off for 11 years now, and everything is still perfect. Jackie and John seem like old friends now and make us welcome each time. Looking forward to next year already.
