River Nene Cottages

Absolutely fantastic overnight stay. Stephen and Philip are the perfect hosts and are passionate about their business, the cottages and really looking after their guests. Nothing is too much. I will be back sometime soon with the kids so they can try out the pool in summer!Recommended for business travellers (great links to the A1 and beyond), couples and families alike. Can't think of any negatives and I travel all over the place.Best nights sleep I've had in ages. Beautiful setting ... beautifully furnished ... clean ... warm ... inviting ... no more words needed.Thanks for a lovely stay guys :-) Paul

We have had the pleasure of staying at River Nene for three days last week. We had been to London visiting some friends over the weekend, and had some days to spare before returning home to Norway. We found this place on Google, and thought it looked beautiful and peaceful — just the thing we needed after the hustle and bustle of London. We were not disappointed. We think that the photos on their homepage don’t do the place justice. The location is just stunning, next to a calm river with river boats passing by occasionally. The cottage we rented was gorgeously furnished and may be compared easily to high end hotels. The only thing we missed was a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. We were a bit surprised that no breakfast was served in the morning. However, we realised that it is clearly stated both on their homepage and on the booking site that it is self catering. The hosts lived in a separate house, and were very friendly and attentive — we particularly liked the personal touch of this stay. It truly is a special place.

I spent a fantastic weekend at River Nene Cottages. The location is stunning, overlooking the river with beautiful swans and ducks to complete the perfect picture. Our hosts Stephen and Philip were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We all felt like old friends when we departed on the Sunday. I can't wait to visit again and again and again...

This was my third visit to River Nene Cottages - this time with a group of friends. We stayed in 2 of the cottages, both beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and with all the amenities required. The cottages are nestled next to the river, so plenty of wonderful country walks. For me, the thing that makes this place extra special is - it’s wonderful hosts - Stephen and Philip. You can tell they are passionate about the service and accommodation they offer. The location is great - just over an hour from North London - straight up the A1 then 2 minutes from the junction - couldn’t be easier.On the Sunday we left and visited Stamford - only 6 minutes up the A1. Historic architecture with an array of shops and wonderful food at The George. I highly recommend River Nene Cottages for those looking for a delightful, picturesque, peaceful, private riverside setting with great transport links. Enjoy! X

River Nene Cottages is beautiful and picturesque! We first stayed in one of the cottages, Coach Cottage, for 6 weeks, and now make weekend visits every few weeks. The cottage is beautifully furnished and has a full kitchen (oven, microwave, fridge, washer / dryer). It's a historical building and has been fully restored. It looks out to the village church and is right by the River Nene. We go for amazing country walks with our dog. The hosts Stephen and Philip are wonderful - friendly, very helpful and accommodating. When we need anything, we just have to knock on their door. I highly recommend River Nene Cottages for a gorgeous English countryside vacation.

We've just spent 6 days at river nene cottages and loved every minute. Wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful accommodation, wonderful scenery and brilliant hosts, Stephen and Philip. Thank you so much for your hospitality and hope to be back very soon. Xx

We spent all summer at the River Nene Cottages as my husband was in England for work, and this property is a delight! 1) Location couldn't be better. First, situated in an idyllic, sleepy village (yet an easy train ride into London). Second, large, private manicured backyard backs up to the Nene River. Third, step outside the cottage and you're immediately met with miles and miles of trails across the countryside and along the river to villages, pubs and coffee shops. Fourth, private, well-maintained pool on property. Fifth, many outdoor sitting areas to enjoy nature. 2) And each of the three cottages as well as the rooms in the main house are all beautifully decorated and very clean. 3) And finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the delightful innkeepers, Philip and Stephen, who never miss an opportunity to make you feel like welcome guests and soon-to-be friends. To summarize, you will not be disappointed in River Nene Cottages!

I'm in love with the River Nene Cottages. I had a great time with my husband and my kitten in the Coach Cottage. The owners are friendly, helpful and made us to feel at home. The property is so pretty, the cottages are lovely and cozy. They recommended nice restaurants and places to visit. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the nature. We will come back and I will recommend for all my friends.

Wonderful...hired all 3 cottages for a long weekend. Steven and Philip were the most gracious hosts. Pool was heated and so was the hottub. Lovely grounds and surroundings. Cycling and walking on your doorstep. Would love to visit again.

A wonderful family trip to the cottage made exceptional by the enchanting setting and outstanding hosting of Philip and Stephen. From the warm welcome by Stephen to the attention to detail in the cottage's decor, coupled with the splendid heated pool, our holiday was truly remarkable. The meticulously maintained garden with breathtaking views and river-side swing chair added to the tranquillity. Paddleboarding opportunities and nearby walks, including a journey to a steam railway, provided adventure. In summary, a blend of beauty, relaxation, and excitement, leaving a lasting mark.
