Ease of arrival/welcome

Picture perfect

On the banks of the River Avon, so a little damp and slippery, (Owners are very welcoming and helpful, but the slipperiness was worrying hence only 3 stars for "Ease of Arrival") but once it stopped raining and the sun came out this site is perfect. Quiet, just magical sitting looking out over the River, Swans, Moorhens, then into the evening, Bats and an Owl! The Farm shop is basic but all the veg you would need, open pretty well continuously because it's left open with an Honesty Box!! Easter Sunday morning, the Church is behind the site, a "Book of Common Prayer" Communion Service, all very emotional! (Ok, you have to pick the right weekend for that!) Then we walked the few hundred yards on the riverside path into Welford-on Avon and if you look round the village away from the through road it is STUNNING! Black and White buildings and Thatch everywhere, beautiful gardens immaculately kept. Boat Lane in particular probably looks exactly like Shakespeare would have seen! (except for the cables and aerials, doh!) Forget Chipping Campden and Broadway, this is the real deal and not coachloads of tourists everywhere!! A traditional Butchers shop, a corner shop, garage and 2 good pubs, it's all you would ever need! Binton Church, just up the road has a large memorial display to Scott of the Antarctic. Perfect cycling country too, almost flat and the Greenway between Long Marston and Stratford only a mile up the (relatively quiet) road or along the Bridleways (with a cafe in an old Railway Carriage!). A perfect base for visiting Stratford or the Cotswolds.(and a lot cheaper!!)
