This 18th-century riverside cottage invites guests to enjoy a countryside stay in the rural hamlet of Radcot, Oxfordshire. With views of the River Thames from every bedroom, you'll have direct access to the river at the foot of the garden, making it the perfect spot for fishing enthusiasts, canoeists and paddleboarders alike. That said, you'll need to keep a close eye on children and your furry friends, as the garden is unfenced. From the alfresco dining area, you can watch the swans glide by and on colder days, there's nowhere cosier than by the wood-burning fire. In addition, the cottage's location provides easy access to the Thames Path, making it an ideal base for exploring Oxfordshire and the nearby Cotswolds.
