Our second visit to this very comfortable cottage, which is in a great location for exploring the lovely surrounding countryside and villages. Jane and Adam are excellent hosts, warm, friendly and very helpful. Looking forward to staying here again soon.
Had a great week in this delightful cottage. The location is beautiful and the cottage has been beautifully restored. Many lovely walks from the cottage. Our hosts were charming, very thoughtful. Enjoyed the chats!
Very helpful owners. Excellent for dogs; good location for visiting interesting sites.
Beautiful cottage in country side, on a working arable farm. very peaceful. Hosts were charming. Stayed with our two labradors who settled straight in. Will return.
Beautiful barn converted cottage, well equipped and in a peaceful location. Very welcoming, helpful and friendly owners.
What a lovely relaxing little cottage, I would love to go back one day
The cottage was first rate, in a beautiful setting, and the owners were really friendly and helpful. We loved it.
The cottage is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Great in the Autumn with log burning stove and roll top deep bath. Clean, tidy and well equipped. I'd definitely recommend this place to stay. Click book button
We loved everything about the cottage! A really beautifully appointed accommodation in a tranquil location!
Just as described on the Rural retreats website. Peaceful. Friendly, welcoming owners.
We enjoyed the cottage facilities and excellent underfloor heating to keep us warm. Our only disappointment was the view we were expecting from the cottage, which was the very reason for booking it. The description should be taken down as it is more than misleading. It was not a view from the cottage property window(s) or garden, but out through the front door over to an orchard meadow, and a further 150 yards to see the open country side view as per the site photograph. In theory, I could post a picture of London Bridge, as from the cottage, as long as I took a train and tube ride.
I am very pleased that you enjoyed lovely Hampton Wafre Cottage but I am sorry that our photos were misleading. We have changed the wording on the website as it is not a view from the house however it is a photo of the immediate surrounding countyside which we think prospective guests would like to see.
A beautiful, well presented cottage with everything we could ask for provided. The owners were welcoming and dealt with any queries really quickly. The cottage is located in a convenient location for visiting the local area. Unfortunately Storm Dennis stopped some of our visits but it didn't matter as the cottage was so perfect. Would definitely recommend to others wanting to stay in the area.
very well appointed cottage in a quiet rural setting with delightful owners.Lovely welcome hamper, excellent facilities especially the dishwasher! We hope to come back.
A lovely cottage, thoughtfully updated, wonderfully comfortable, warm and welcoming and set in a beautiful location. As a bonus, the garden was secure for my 2 dogs to play in and there was plenty to see and do in the local area.
A well appointed cottage, equipped to a high standard in a beautiful tranquil location. Walks from the doorstep, plus an enclosed garden, are ideal for dogs. Lots of places of interest and sightseeing within easy reach too.
A perfect little cottage - ideal for two - set in beautiful rolling farmland with walks directly from the door. Exactly what we wanted. Incredibly clean and in lovely condition too.
Lovely cottage & ideal location for exploring the area. It is on a working farm and the owners were on hand but not intrusive.
Fantastic cottage, great local area. we have a very relaxing time.
A beautiful cottage in a wonderful location. The owners were very helpful & friendly. The only thing that’s missing is a pair of scissors and an ice cube tray :)
Lovely cosy cottage beautiful location and very welcoming owner

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
