   What a beautiful place to stay! If this lovely place is on your route, or even slightly off it, it's worth taking a detour to experience this little slice of bear perfection! For an overnight stopover or for a couple of nights getaway, stay here, you certainly won't regret it! Natalie and Ray, the owners, are the perfect hosts & they've thought long & hard about their customers/clientele & what they'd enjoy. The breakfasts are A★ amazing! Only the best locally sourced food (where possible) is used on-site hens lay your breakfast eggs! Everything is prepared to order to ensure your cooked breakfast is both hot & fresh. Beautifully appointed & decorated flower themed cottage rooms which have ample space inside + a comfy bed & a shower room (which as a disabled person, was a pleasure to use). Your hosts are only happy if you have a great stay & there are accolades galore to prove it's all genuine & not just hype. Entrance to 'Handywater Cottage' is by electric gate from a driveway angled off the road & exit by another. Charging up your EV is possible, if EV charger is free, so no range anxiety! Every tiny item has been meticulously thought through & implemented only if it helps you have a more enjoyable stay. We've used quite a few Airbnb places, but 'Handywater Cottage' is by far & away the best B&B we've ever stayed at.

   Just returned from a wonderful 2 night break celebrating our wedding anniversary. Stayed in Sunflower a beautifully furnished room with en suite and a walk in wardrobe. Sparkling throughout. Natalie & Ray are fab hosts, breakfasts are ample with a good choice and everything is freshly prepared for you. Electric charging point, south facing gardens for you to enjoy and so much more. See you next year

   Lovely B&B in a great location, just a few minutes drive from Henley-on-Thames. The hosts were very welcoming when we arrived, offering a nice glass of bubbly. Rooms were very clean and modern. The only thing that put me off slightly was having to share a table at breakfast with other guests. Some people are a bit socially awkward and situations like this can put them in an uncomfortable position. Overall a very nice stay.

   When was the last time you stayed at a B&B where the proprietor actually was engaged and seem to care about you? Natalie and Ray are wonderful hosts that ensured all of our cares disappeared and we had a lovely stay. This is outside of the city center, yet not an issue. Close to the train and a delightful town to enjoy the river, park, pubs and shopping. We relaxed in the gardens with the pets. I read for hours in bliss. There is a Michelin star restaurant next door - so heading to town for dinner is not necessary. The crowning touch is the breakfast. It is fully customizable and you can still add and change in the morning. Delicious and such grand service. I do not see how you could be disappointed with a stay here. We were in the Sunflower room which was quite spacious and wonderful. Also, easy access to Heathrow airport. This was our alternative to London at the end of our Tour. There is also an Ale Trail where you can earn a T shirt, yet we did not have enough time (or perseverance) to make it to 9 pubs.
