"We have stayed here before and it's definitely our happy place! It is so tranquil and like a fairytale cottage. This is our second stay at this property. It truly is unique in its location. There is no one else around and it's so peaceful. We saw stags, deer, a kingfisher on the river, wild ponies and donkeys in the village. The local pub is only a 20 minute walk away and serves amazing food. The cottage is really cosy and I slept so well in the bed (I struggle with my sleep at home). We are coming back in the summer and again in November to experience all the seasons!"
Ms O, March 2025

Ms W, July 2025
"It was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The welcome basket was exceptional. This was the most fantastic hideaway for our stay in the forest. Exceptionally comfortable and welcoming. Could not fault it."

"What a wonderful place you have here! Magical. And we caught enough fish to keep Dexter very happy. Thanks for having us."
Ms B, July 2025
"Just had to write to congratulate you on Undercastle Cottage. It’s a perfect spot and we’ve enjoyed our time here immensely. The wildlife is what has made it for us - from the Kingfishers to the wrens/chiff chaffs/wagtails etc."
Mr S, July 2025
"We have now settled back in to the mundane normality of life at home after our fantastic stay at your beautiful cottage."
Mr M, August 2025
"Another fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage. As ever, all our cares melted away as soon as we got here. It was extremely cold weather, but the cottage was so cosy and warm, and the fire was very welcome! The homemade scones (and, indeed, the welcome hamper) were gratefully received. You really do feel away from it all here, and we didn't want to come home! "
Ms O, Nov 2025
"The cottage was fab, and the owner took extra steps to make our stay unforgettable; please pass our thanks for the lovely goodies supplied. We had a very restful week. Fantastic location, beautiful cottage and a very caring owner. Thank you."
Ms W, Nov 2025
"Wowsers, that was lovely, thank you! Massive fan of the setting and wildlife – just so peaceful. And lots of thoughtful little touches. The thing I liked best is that you don’t have to drive anywhere, sort anything, etc., which really helps with zoning out. Just annoyed we didn’t finish our jigsaw puzzle!"

"Chocolate box cottage, great location for a secluded getaway. Loved sitting out under cover of the fishing Lodge during the rain. Great for Long walks and pub lunches."
Ms G, March 2024
"You have the most amazing setting and Cottage. It was perfect for us and our two teenage boys, they shared the Fishing cottage. One of the few places that we have been too that is well presented and everything worked as advertised."
Mr E, March 2024
"We absolutely loved it. I spent a complete day just enjoying the river and wildlife with a fabulous bottle of wine and cheese and pate. The hamper was a very lovely touch. Thank you. We would certainly love to book again."
Ms B, April 2024
"I would like to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay last week at Undercastle cottage. It was superb in every respect. Such a beautiful setting to relax in and extremely comfortable."
Ms I, April 2024
"Magical special place, we loved it, our dog loved it, caught some trout, saw kingfishers. Brilliant walks, shops and pubs nearby. But you will probably only want to hang out at Undercastle and enjoy the view."
Mr V, July 2024
"A quintessential English countryside cottage. Absolutely a delightful holiday!!!"
Ms M, July 2024
"A beautiful cottage set in the most wonderful position. We loved paddleboarding on the river and watching the sunsets whilst enjoying a glass of wine."
Ms B, August 2024
"I have just returned from the magical cottage and would love to stay there again. What an incredible place."
Ms T, September 2024
"The location and the design of the cottage was something you only see in films, so spectacular and unique, , one of a kind find."
Mr M, October 2024
"It truly is an exceptional property location. I felt like I was staying in a ladybird book fairytale cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful with lovely little homely touches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It truly is an exceptional location; you really feel completely away from it all. Even though we stayed in winter, I wrapped up warm and spent hours sitting outside watching the birds and wildlife. The cottage itself is so cosy and has lovely, homely touches. The pub nearby is fabulous, wonderful food and friendly staff. We didn't want to come home."
Ms O, November 2024
"You do not need reviews with such a popular cottage, but we wanted to note how much we had enjoyed our visit: thank you. Your cottage is, of course, charming and impressive but the position with the swiftly-flowing river, stillness and wildlife were even better!"
Ms D, Dec 2024

"Just a note to say thank you so much for the lovely hamper and card for my mums 80th Birthday. We all had a wonderful time and have created some wonderful memories in your beautiful home - thank you. By confidence, my mum was showing some birthday pictures to one of our relatives and it turns out they too have stayed at Undercastle Cottage! They also couldn't speak highly enough about their stay, and so it was lovely to hear them both sharing their stories."
Mr S, February 2023
"This is a magical place which brings tears to the eyes when you first see it. We had amazing weather, and that allowed us to make use of the comfortable and pretty outside space. We feel as if we have been in a fairytale for the past week. If it's solitude, with a touch of luxury, that you seek then this is the place to stay. I cannot recommend highly enough."
Ms R, June
"We had an absolutely fantastic time, we were all blown away by the location, the building, the attention to detail…everything. It really is the most special place, and we made great use of the lovely garden, the barbecue, the boat, the kayak and swam in the river. It will give us lots of lovely memories."
Ms L, July
"One of the best properties we have stayed in. Amazing location and an amazing property. The owners truly care about the property - there is nothing they haven't thought of. The welcome hamper was also superb - full of personal touches. "
Ms H, Oct
"The drive up to the property was met with a glimpse through the trees of the perfect chocolate box picture of the most beautiful cottage by the river. Absolutely nothing I could fault about this property. Quiet, secluded, peaceful piece of heaven. So comfortable and decor, and little touches couldn't be bettered. If I could describe my perfect home, this would be it."
Ms B, December
