Puddle Duck Cottages

28/10/2026

We have some rare last minute availability this weekend at Puddle Duck Cottages

So who fancies enjoying some leafy woodland and riverside walks, a pie and a pint down the pub, then a cosy night back at the cottage to fire up the log burner, open the bottle of w**e from your welcome hamper and a snuggle on the sofa with a favourite film.

You can be sure of the warm welcome that we are famous for.

“The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It is incredibly clean. It is well laid out, comfortable, well-furnished and with a myriad of thoughtful additions. It is also in an excellent location – quiet, beautiful and with excellent access to the river, pubs, walks and local attractions. Plus Sonia is an excellent host.”
