A beautiful, well maintained property on the river with rolling hills. Close to Gloucester central but far enough away to get lost in the serenity of the wonderful countryside.

A beautiful contry location with amazing views. Very quiet and secluded - the outdoor shower and toilet were amazing but the absolute winner was the river walk and visit to Hidden Hollow Fairytown (enjoyed by adults and kids alike!)

We certainly enjoyed the farming locality, the riverside walk and the table tennis. The farmhouse was comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The river was a bit high and fast-flowing at the time we visited so we didn't swim. We look forward to staying longer on our next visit. Thank you Jill and Rick for your (virtual and Covid-safe non-contact) hospitality.

Beautiful property!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and everything we needed was right there and available. The river was gorgeous and close. Plenty of room inside and out for a family. We went in winter and the fire was perfect and plenty of wood available. Will definitely go back one day soon.
