18 DECEMBER 2017

The owners were exceptionally kind when we were snowed in recently and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and safe. And The School House was the perfect accommodation to be stranded in!!

19 DECEMBER 2017

The owners of The School House are great and I can imagine how well they looked after you - it certainly would be a lovely place to be stranded in! I am glad that all was well.

13 NOVEMBER 2017

It had everything you needed.
Lovely place.
Well equipped.

14 NOVEMBER 2017

Thank you for your lovely concise feedback for 2 The School House.

3 OCTOBER 2017

The property exceeded our expectations. However, we thought it lacked a few, what we thought handy items. We were asked by owners of property, that if we had any suggestions, to leave them, which we did. We trust they will act upon our advise, so as to bring property up to 5 stars. Overall, excellent.

3 OCTOBER 2017

We are delighted that 2 The School House exceeded your expectations and that you rate it as excellent. I am sure the owners will have appreciated your suggestions and thank you for your feedback.

4 SEPTEMBER 2017

Everything that one could wish for inside and out - beautiful house and lovely garden.

25 AUGUST 2017

It would be inappropriate to comment until I have heard back from Rural Retreats about my complaints about this property.

28 SEPTEMBER 2017

We are sorry that you had a minor housekeeping issue during your holiday. The owner is very attentive and looks after the property, with the housekeeper, with enormous care and we are delighted by the two Feefo reviews since your comment.

4 JULY 2017

Property very good overall except for squeaking floorboards on stairs and bedrooms, especially double bed room. Also the hinges to the bathroom door were bad.

asy. going to the bathroom at night woke everybody A pity as all else was very good

26 JUNE 2017

A lovely cottage with excellent facilities, very comfortable beds and beautiful linen, in a peaceful location adjacent to Dorsington Arboretum.

I have marked four stars due to the very creaky floorboards upstairs which made it impossible to use the bathroom at night without waking the whole house. There also appears to be some sort of generator in the next door garden which was only on for a short while but was extremely noisy.

22 JUNE 2017

Beautifully put together and maintained.

7 JUNE 2018

Everyone is always helpful at Rural Retreats.
The Ferry House was welcoming with hamper and flowers.
It’s our 3rd time and we intend to return.
We recommended it to friends.

17 MAY 2018

It was a beautiful property in a great location, just a stone’s throw away from the shops. The house was impeccably clean and what with the lovely hamper, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

11 MAY 2018

Beautiful, peaceful, house. Clean, comfortable, and everything there that you need for a holiday. Plus, a very welcome hamper to greet your arrival. Definitely on our wish list for a return visit.

4 MAY 2018

Fantastic location & well presented, perfect for a us as 2 person accommodation - however bedrooms a tight fit for 4 people (as categorised).

4 MAY 2018

Absolutely excellent. Property in a great location, very comfortable and well equipped, and beautifully kept.

23 APRIL 2018

Great location and nice rooms downstairs but the two bedrooms and en suite upstairs are too small for real comfort.

16 APRIL 2018

Delightful cottage right on the Thames, redolent of history and literature.

Quaint, quirky and quiet to mind!

Perfect for those who want some peace and tranquility, with modern comforts and convenience.p

5 APRIL 2018

Lovely house in the perfect location

28 FEBRUARY 2018

Quick & simple booking process.

9 JANUARY 2018

Excellent location and well appointed. However bathroom location and size are not ideal.

Enjoyed our stay there though.

21 DECEMBER 2017

Great house, good location.

27 NOVEMBER 2017

The Ferry House is a lovely place to stay in a great location, right on the river, down a quiet dead end lane but within very easy walking distance of Wallingford's centre. The accommodation is comfortable and clean, the views of the river are glorious, especially on misty mornings. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.

7 NOVEMBER 2017

Clean, location and well equipped

23 OCTOBER 2017

It is a very interesting property - well situated and comfortable, Please ask owners to fix the 2nd bedroom radiator valve - you can't use it and it means the heating comes on when you are in bed.

22 SEPTEMBER 2017

The Ferry House overlooks the Thames near the Oxford Boat House. Great view. Very peaceful.

10 SEPTEMBER 2017

Sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus an hervorragender Lage direkt an der Themse.

11 SEPTEMBER 2017

Vielen Dank für Ihre schöne Bewertung.

4 SEPTEMBER 2017

Excellent house and facilities for a great long weekend with friends.
Enjoyed the fishing on the pontoon, boating and swimming in the Thames.

24 AUGUST 2017

Great location,especially the garden at the Thames river with the wildlife,the house (furniture)is a little bit dated,especially the kitchen need some updating(broken fridge,an unusuable oven because of the dirty smell,a dirty smell from under the sink,not really a nice experience.)

1 SEPTEMBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback. We have contacted the owner regarding your comments.

31 JULY 2017

Great location, well equipped.

20 MAY 2017

The Ferry House is a fantastic home from home. In a stunning location, even better than we could've imagined, it's fully equipped with everything you could ever need. When you use self catering cottages, you often find lots of gaps in kitchen equipment etc, but not here. The bonus for us was the fishing jetty at the bottom of the garden, bathed in sunshine and just waiting to be used! Perfect for sipping a glass of wine and watching the comings and goings on the river Thames.
