    Comments about this property
    Ray and Natalie were very welcoming and hospitable, greeting us with a glass of Prosecco.

    We had booked a tasting at a local winery and brewery. Ray kindly dropped us off at the venue, and Natalie collected us a couple of hours later - nothing was too much trouble for them.

    A superb breakfast each morning complemented the luxurious accommodation. Everything we needed was in the room - the bed was extremely comfortable.
    Tips for other travellers
    We can definitely recommend a visit to the Chiltern Valley brewery.

    We ate out at the Crooked Billet in Stoke Row, and the White Hart in Nettlebed. Both highly recommended.

    Couldn’t have asked for anything more, welcoming, very friendly and provided us with great knowledge of the local area ie. best pubs/restaurants in the area.
    From the welcoming glass of bubbly, the lift to and from the pub on the first night(including making the reservation for us) to Raymond lending us local walking maps,everything was first class.
    Natalie’s breakfast was superb as was the friendly way she did everything to make sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible.
    Tips for other travellers
    Best tip I can give to other travellers is to take on board all the advice from Natalie and Raymond and you should have a great time.

    — Barker, Freetobook.com, 19 сен 2019

  • Thank you Natalie and Ray for being the most perfect hosts. The accommodation was by far the best we had stayed in. Definitely 5* The bed was very comfortable with high quality bedding. We didn't have to want for anything, it was provided. Every little detail had been well Thought Out. The breakfast was very good with an amazing choice. We came away feeling totally relaxed. Natalie and Ray were prepared for our arrival with a glass of prosecco in their hand, which was a lovely touch. A truly natural nice couple. We would love to come back another time. Wendy and Bryce

    So kind and helpful beyond anything we have known before.. Wonderful breakfast.

    Only one small thing: mirror in bathroom too high for my wife, so maybe for others too. Otherwise everything perfect.

    Natalie and Raymond were so friendly and helpful. They ensured that we had somewhere to eat on a busy Saturday night and breakfast in the morning was really really good. The rooms were outstanding and I would highly recommend staying with these lovely people.

    Really excellent stay. The owners could not do enough to make you welcome. The accommodation is well appointed and breakfast was very good with lots of nice touches such as fruit kebabs. The cottages are very well placed for visiting Henley and the surrounding area.

    — ronf197, TripAdvisor.com, 29 авг 2019

  • Fabulous hosts!

    Home from home. This is what 5 star is all about...the attention to detail and Natalie and Ray tick all the boxes. Thanks for making our stay special. Nice car!

    — Rob, (gb) , Booking.com, Reservation Number 2322450271 , 28 авг 2019

  • Wow! Loved this place

    Wow! This place is amazing. The owners have thought about all the things that niggle people when they are away from home. Internet is really fast. The room has a double power shower which was fabulous. Everything in the room is of high quality, bed, bedding, curtains, blinds, accessories and so forth. Breakfast was wonderful. Everything you could want. This place is a real gem and I would stay their again if I was in the area.

    That we could only stay one night. This place is perfect.

    — Karen, (ca) , Booking.com, Reservation Number 2218685453 , 28 авг 2019

  • Outstandingly remarkable!

    Me & my partner absolutely loved everything about our stay, from the greeting when we arrived to the minute we checked out, it was just phenomenal. Natalie & Ray couldn't have done more for us, the rooms were outstanding, the view was remarkable, breakfast was out of this world! Impeccable hospitality, they go above and beyond for you and they do it with love. Natalie & Ray, thank you so much for the opportunity for us to spend at your beautiful B&B, we will definitely be back.

    Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect. Please continue to be as amazing as you both are, it was an honor to stop in such a beautiful home.

  • Handywater Cottage
    We have just returned from a one night stay at Handywater. The welcome is incredible with a glass of prosecco a guide of the gardens and info of the local surroundings - pub next door The Golden Ball fantastic but be aware the kitchen closes early. The room is lovely and breakfast even better. Attention to every detail here and its like meeting friends when you meet hosts Natalie and Raymond. Definitely a place to stay for those that like the finer things.

    — readheadmum, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 09 авг 2019

  • Superb stay
    Brilliant people, lovely location and superb place. High standard through out, really great hosts who were so nice and happy to provide lots and lots of information and tips on where to go as well a put up the best breakfasts! Thoroughly recommended.

  • Birthday break
    Stayed here Easter time and couldn’t praise this place enough, so I returned with my parents and sister and brother in law. They were so impressed. Ray and Natalie are the most amazing hosts, the accommodation is five star luxury . Breakfast also wonderful. Thanks for another great stay...will see you again!!!

    — Lyndadenham, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 05 авг 2019

  • Maria and Dominic
    Great owners and a beautiful place to stay very much home from home. Ideal location to explore the lovely area. The cottage is five hundred years old and the gardens are very nice to sit down and relax. Would recommend for couples who enjoy the nice things in life.

    — dcasta721114, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 04 авг 2019

  • Absolutely beautiful.
    Cannot praise Handywater Cottage and it's delightful hosts, Natalie and Ray, enough. We drove through the electric gates to be greeted by charming Natalie who led us into the house and handed us glasses of Prosecco. Now that's the way to arrive! We had chosen the Wisteria room. It was beautifully and immaculately furnished to a very high standard with every possible facility. Natalie showed us how everything worked and led us on to the small terrace with table, chairs and a lounger and a stunning view. Such a pity we were only staying for one night. We chose our options for breakfast which is taken in the main house. My husband chose the full English and I chose the lighter option. We were both overwhelmed by the quality, variety and presentation. Fresh fruit skewers were to die for as was the homemade marmalade.
    Natalie and Ray are the most charming hosts and made us feel more like friends than guests. An absolute gem of a place and we can't wait to go back.

    Ideal accommodation in that rooms are separate to the hosts house/dining room - and are not only well insulated for warmth, also well sound insulated. breakfast choices ideal with fruit and full English - and host lifts into Henley really appreciated.
    Tips for other travellers
    Next door might be a Michelin restaurant but in Henley are a wide range of quality bars, pubs and eateries. A cruise on the river is the highest priority along with the history of rowing in the museum.

    — Aldridge, Freetobook.com, 26 июл 2019

  • perfect stay
    We stayed with Natalie and Ray during Regatta week and had a wonderful time. The cottage is in a lovely rural setting and is very peaceful.Our room was beautiful and very well appointed. I liked Natalie's pictures. The breakfasts were superb and during them we met some interesting people as they are at Ray and Natalie's dining table in the old cottage. Ray took us into Henley for the regatta and he and Natalie also booked meals for us at the excellent pub next door as well as others in the area. Definitely a good place to stay. Thank you both for you hospitality.

    — Jane K, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 25 июл 2019

  • Geweldig lief ontvangst door de eigenaars. Zeer schone luxe kamer. Heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt.

    — Yvonne , (NL), Booking.com, Reservation Number 1627740209 , 25 июл 2019

  • Another 5 star review for a 5 star b&b and its hosts
    Simply the best B&B we have ever stayed in, there are so many touches of luxury and comfort in the rooms that it should actually be classed amongst the best of the 5 star hotels as many of them could learn a few things from Ray and Natalie.

    — Simon F, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 22 июл 2019

  • Fabulous B&B such a warm welcome we felt like we were visiting old friends.
    The rooms are large and comfortable with some lovely little touches, all finished to a higher standard than many 5 star hotels we have stayed in (and we have stayed in a lot).
    The breakfast was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble and there is plenty of room to park your car, we will definitely be back and have already recommended you to several friends and relations for when they come to Henley.
    Thank you both for your hospitality.

    — Simon Francis, 21 июл 2019

  • Relaxing and just a whole wonderful stay.

    Ray and Natalie are fabulous hosts. Breakfasts wonderful. So relaxing and peaceful. We would recommend it to all.

    There was nothing to not like. Maybe an outside sitting area for guests for a warm summer's evening? But really just so enjoyed our stay.

    — Judith , (GB), Booking.com, Reservation Number 3791664202 , 21 июл 2019

    The location and facilities exceeded our expectations and from the outset Ray and Natalie gave us a warm and friendly welcome to their home. We were even invited to join them and another guest on our second evening to dinner at a local eatery and had a very enjoyable evening.

    Natalie’s breakfasts are magnificent, both in taste and presentation and her homemade marmalade is so good we bought a couple of jars to take home.

    Each of the cottages have been constructed and fitted to a very high standard with quality furnishings and bed linen giving each a luxurious feel and ambience.
    Tips for other travellers
    Henley-on-Thames has something for everyone. An idyllic setting along the Thames and a vibrancy from the life on and along the river. As well as some of the national retailers there is a healthy collection of local, family run businesses offering a wide variety of goods and services which have disappeared from other locations. Bookshops and an upmarket cycle shop particularly caught our interest.

    Frog Hall garden centre is worth a visit for a wide range of healthy plants.

    Park at the Rugby Club all day for around £3.

    Visit the Crooked Billet at Stoke Row for fantastic food and service.

    Visit some of the nearby villages where Midsomer Murders have been filmed.

    — Williams, Freetobook.com, 16 июл 2019

  • Fantastic short break
    This location is ideal for visiting Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding area. Ray and Natalie are wonderful hosts and have developed a selection of luxurious cottages with high quality fittings, furniture and décor. Breakfasts are a particular treat, cooked and presented to perfection. Be sure to try Natalie’s home made marmalade.

    — terrykwilliams14, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 16 июл 2019

  • Highly recommend a stay here, the hosts Natalie and Raymond made us very welcome. The setting was picture perfect, our room was pure luxury and breakfast was superb. Very well situated for Henley Festival and Natalie very kindly drove us into town for the festival.

    — Julie Dixon, AirBnB.co.uk, 13 июл 2019

    The accommodations were wonderful. We are from America and had never been to England Natalie and Raymond made us feel at home and gave us a wonderful England experience away from the mainstream city of London. Felt as though we were really in the heart of England. Great country feel at Handywater.
    Tips for other travellers
    The Golden Ball restaurant right next to Handywater is excellent. Off the beaten path is Longbridge Mill Pub and Restaurant you will not be disappointed. Lastly DeMarios in London. Italian food to die for.

  • Outstanding hosts, home and location

    From the moment i arrived to the moment we said our goodbyes Natalie and Ray were the perfect hosts. Made to feel very welcome indeed and nothing was too much trouble. My room with Patio was lovely. Just enough space with comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe and draw space. The bathroom was immaculate with an enourmous shower. The weather was perfect and sat on the patio with views over the gardens and fields was perfect, relaxing times indeed. I have already booked a few more visits to their beautiful home and look forward to many more laughs with Natalie and Ray

  • From the second we arrived to the minute we departed we were made to feel so welcome. The property and surroundings are fantastic, as was the room. We stayed for only one night but regretted this not being longer from the moment we arrived. Our hosts Ray and Natalie were great company and we will definitely return...this time for longer!!! Thank you so much.

    — Andy and Kim, 04 июл 2019

  • Apart from the first class welcome and the "nothing is too much trouble" approach, Natalie and Ray are two of the nicest most interesting people that I have met in years. The accommodation was so tasteful and comfortable and they both went out of the way to please. A first class accommodation owned and run by outstanding people. Thank you Natalie and Ray ...it was such a great pleasure to meet you and I wish you well !

    Handywater B&B is the. best accommodation we have stayed in, everything was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail was amazing. Natalie and Ray were very friendly hosts and it made our short break enjoyable.
    The breakfasts were excellent and Natalie's marmalade was delicious.

    Tips for other travellers
    Luscombes next door is well worth a visit but is closed Monday and Tuesday, plenty of restaurants in Henley-on-Thames.

  • A lovely place to stay if visiting Henley. The hosts are top notch. Breakfast in the 500 year old cottage was lovely. The bedrooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean.
    Tips for other travellers
    Don't trust your GPS! Handywater is next door to the Golden Ball pub. Our GPS sent us to a little back lane.

    A mini break to celebrate our joint birthdays.

  • Excellent
    This is a first rate B&B together with wonderfully friendly hosts who really look after you and do everything possible to make your stay special. This is the best B&B I have ever stayed in and fully deserves the 5 star rating they assign to it but with very reasonable charges.

    Date of stay: June 2019
    Room tip: Really beautiful accommodation and location.

    This is indeed a five star B & B. Wonderful hosting, lovely location, excellent room and shower, amazing breakfast, nothing too much trouble for Ray and Natalia. This really as good as it gets.
    There is absolutely no room for improvement.

  • Simply the best. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

    Superb hosts, Thank you very much for a wonderful three night stay. Brilliant accommodation that well deserves it's five stars. Spotlessly clean could not find any faults. Natalie serves up a five star breakfast that fills you up for the whole day. Will be back at Handywater Cottage B&B and could recommend to any one who likes the Five Star treatment.

    I am unable to write What I didn't like as the host's have got Handywater Cottage B&B to perfection.

  • Very welcoming and very accommodating with great recommendations of places to visit and places to eat in the area. Ray and Natalie you run a super B&B

    Tips for other travellers
    We were recommended Luscombes at the Goled Ball to eat, this is a Michelin Star Pub/restaurant and most certainly didn’t disappoint and is right next door the accommodation.

    A lovely walk along the towpath and a river cruise with Hobbs of Henley, we were only there for two days but will return to enjoy more of this lovely area.

  • Mini break in Henley on Thames
    We stayed in Handywater B&B as we were celebrating our granddaughters 30th Birthday in Henley that week . The hosts were very friendly people and couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The accommodation was excellent beautifully clean and the room we stayed in was fit for a princess. Those were my words as I entered the room. Would strongly recommend an extended stay in the B&B if you are exploring the area. We had a wonderful mini break and at 90 years of age it's one to remember. Thank you to Natalie and Ray

  • Our wonderful mini break in lower Assendon at Handywater cottage

    Location and standard of accommodation was excellent. Breakfast was provided on request of time to suit us not the owner which was a nice touch.

    As two elderly guests we would have appreciated a handrail in the shower for safety although an anti slip mat was available in the shower we still felt a little unsafe whilst using the facility. Otherwise everything was lovely and clean and toiletries were provided. Access to the property and exit was a little difficult due to the angles of the electric gate and road side entrances.

  • Stayed here two nights when attending a wedding in the area
    Natalie & Raymond were wonderful hosts. We received a warm welcome and a cold glass of prosecco on arrival. The rooms were clean and beautifully appointed. After the main wedding reception, we returned to the B&B to prepare for the evening do. Natalie & Raymond gave us a lift back to the venue and then collected us at the end of the evening. All this without any charge ! They really offered a service above and beyond what was expected of them. A real jewel in the Oxfordshire countryside !
    Date of stay: March 2019

    The choice of food for breakfast was exceptional. The actual breakfast far exceeded in quality and presentation anything we have ever eaten in an hotel. The room again far exceeded anything we have experienced in 45 years of hotels.

    Cannot speak highly enough of our stay at Handywater Cottages and the welcome and service Natalie and Ray provide. The venue and buildings are A1, rooms are well-appointed and spotless, breakfast is amazing and the location is brilliant and easy access to Henley and surrounds.
    Great value at the money, you won't get better. Couple of bits they did for us(which I won't mention) that were so far above and beyond. Lovely place and lovely people

  • 5* star B&B No Sir its 6* Star plus 2* more stars for the owners
    On arrival greeted by the most glamourous landlady Natalie and Husband Ray with a welcome glass of Prosecco to there beautiful 600 year old house ,instantly transported to a world of luxury and precision to detail. Thank you for the privilege of staying in your wonderful comer of the world.

    " Oh you are going to a wedding in the middle of nowhere , don't worry ,we will take you and bring you back " Natalie said and did all part of the service. ( Four seasons Hotel look out )
    The rooms are tastefully stylised with spotlessly clean facilities and are beyond expectation, we stayed 2 nights. The breakfast choices were varied and would please any food lover Full English, Smoked Salmon and Eggs, to a myriad of preserves fruit and yogurts , Natalie's home made marmalade appealed to my bitter taste, yummy.

  • Blown away by the service and welcome from Natalie and Ray. Let us park up early and welcomed us with a chat and glass of Prosecco. Add to this booking Michelin starred restaurant and arranging lifts to and fro to Henley, service worth more than a 10. Bargain for the money. Great facilities in a great location, can’t wait to return. Thanks guys

    A truly wonderful property with the most amazing hosts. The room was gorgeous with every comfort and impeccably clean. The welcome was second to none and we still have dreams about the breakfasts.
    The location is ideal, just a short ride from the town whilst also deep in the heart of the countryside. Plenty of attractions nearby and wonderful pubs as well. We echo the conclusion of previous visitors who say it is the best they have ever stayed in. We will visit again without a shadow of a doubt.

  • Handywater Cottage excels again!

    We have stayed at Handywater on several occasions. As usual our kind hosts Natalie and Ray were there to welcome us to their lovely , luxury B&B. We stayed in the new rooms built in 2018 and the stay was excellent in every respect. In our view it is by a long way the best accommodation in Henley. Rooms are modern, beds very comfortable with very high quality en-suite bathrooms. The new rooms contain a pleasant seating area. Breakfast using locally sourced materials was excellent and cooked to your order. Location just outside Henley is peaceful and the garden area very nice. You can park inside the cottage grounds in a secure area. I can honestly say that I find improvements very difficult to identify. Above all Ray and Natalie are outstanding hosts and we are looking forward to returning later this year.

    — adcta, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 16 апр 2019

  • A lovely 2 night stay in beautiful accommodation.Super breakfast and very friendly owners.

    Everything was fabulous..No complaints at all.

    — Carole , (GB), Booking.com, Reservation Number 1485009456 , 15 апр 2019

  • Immaculate
    What a stylish place; purpose built chalets, backing on to open fields and hills. The rooms are beautifully presented and well maintained, with lots of little gestures you’d only expect to find in the most luxurious hotels (eye masks, for example), as well as tea & coffee in the room, mini toiletry pack etc.

    Breakfast was included and was delicious, with eggs from their own hens and homemade marmalade.

    The icing on the cake, however, is provided by the owners, Natalie and Ray who not only welcome guests with open arms (and, in our case, a glass of Prosecco) but also make the most hilarious double act (gently bickering in the most loving way).

    We were attending a wedding reception locally (at the Crown Inn in Pishill) and Ray kindly drove us over there in the afternoon; good job too since the local taxi firm (based in Henley-on-Thames) charged an extortionate £25 for the return journey in the evening.

    I can’t recommend this B&B highly enough. The rooms aren’t cheap but we had a lovely time, slept well, ate well and felt generally well looked after.

    — Follow LastMinute.Mum, TripAdvisor.co.uk, 14 апр 2019

  • Stunning.
    What a wonderful B/B. We stayed 2 nights and it should have been longer. Exceptional friendly hosts with a beautiful home and luxury guest accommodation. The situation is idyllic, the breakfast amazing and everything is so clean and comfortable. Within easy reach of Henley but also quiet and peaceful. Go and see for yourself but be prepared to be impressed and to feel you have to go again.

    — Fearless31178684194, TripAdvisor.com, 08 апр 2019

    Lots to see and do. Good national trust properties, exceptional pubs and restaurants, great walks and of course the riverside as well.

I booked all four of their cottages to accommodate friends who were attending my 70th Birthday Party in the next door restaurant. Every one of them was delighted with their rooms, the quality of the breakfast and the friendly welcome. The cottages are in a lovely position close to Henley and many of the lovely walks in the area.

    — Michael Moore, 04 мар 2019

  • We felt that we arrived as guests and left as friends.

    Natalie & Ray were the perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble from inviting us to a welcome drink to providing an amazing breakfast the following morning. The room was modern and clean and absolutely everything you could possibly want was provided. Additionally the view from the room across the valley together with a patio made it exceptional. We have never stayed anywhere where the hosts have been so attentive and friendly. It is definitely not to be missed if you are staying anywhere near Henley on Thames.

    There was absolutely nothing about the place or the hosts that anyone could possible dislike.

Being forced to stay in large characterless hotels while working it has been much more enjoyable since retiring to stay in small hotels and delightful B and Bs worldwide like Handywater Cottage. We’ve toured extensively in Europe, Brazil, South Africa, New Zealand and I can honestly say Natalie’s breakfast is right up with the best worldwide!

    Handywater Cottage is lovely and ideally placed for visiting Henley. Having a lovely pub and restaurant next door - but not intrusively so is perfect.

    Guests stay in cottages set apart from the main house. The cottages themselves are charming, very tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable. The couple who run them from the main house are absolutely delightful and it is a long time since i’ve been presented with such a generous and delicious breakfast. As a place to stay for one night/a week/a month.....I could not recommend it highly enough.

  • This is one of the best B&B's we have EVER visited...

    This is one of the best B&B's we have EVER visited... I really wanted to take my partner to visit Henley-On-Thames for our 2 year Anniversary. Looking around for local B&B's I came across the gorgeous Handywater Cottage and the genuine couple and hosts – Natalie (who runs and manages the B&B) and Ray (who provides the entertainment). I read all the reviews on Booking.com with a little pinch of salt. Could it really be as amazing as all the recommendations were implying? I needn't of worried. Not only did Handywater Cottage meet our expectations, it far far exceeded them. 5 STARS and 10/10 until the cows come home! From the kind and warm welcome (and the delicious prosecco shared with our hosts when we arrived) to the gorgeous cottage we stayed in – it was such a magical experience. Natalie and Ray really could not have done any more for us. The room was stunning and spotless, the bed super comfy with all the mod cons you could ask for. Set in a quiet and peaceful location that was exactly as described by many other reviewers on Booking.com Natalie also highly recommended The Golden Ball/Pub restaurant next door (Michelin Guide recommended for 10 consecutive years) that she booked in advance for us for our evening supper. Sublime food served in comfy and relaxed surroundings, with friendly and efficient staff. We loved it. After a well deserved night's sleep, Natalie's yummy homemade breakfast in the morning was a delight. Ray kindly ferried us into Henley-On-Thames for the day and picked us up to come back to The Handywater Cottage before we headed home to London. We had an amazing Autumn day exploring this beautiful town and walking along the river. Even though it was cold, the Sun didn't stop shining! We adored the cats, the nature, the cottage and the experience. But it was the hosts – Natalie and Ray that made the trip for us. Everything they did was done so so well. Simply brilliant!

    Honestly and sincerely, there is nothing to complain about even in the slightest. Natalie's attention to detail and creativeness was sublime, coupled with Ray's humour and hospitality made for such a wonderful combination. Genuinely a memorable trip. Our only regret? We wish we could have stayed longer!

    We were made to feel very welcome upon our arrival at Handywater. Natalie and Ray are the perfect hosts and their wonderful "Cottage" is beyond what most people might expect in the category of a B & B ! Magnificent and extremely comfortable room (Lavender) with all the facilities to match - we had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was in an amazing setting and Natalie went more than the extra mile to make it really enjoyable. Thank you both for your "Friendship" and your "outstanding hospitality" - we have your contact details in the phone ready for our next visit !

    We liked everything and do not have a negative word to say about Handywater.

    — Christine, (GB), Reservation number 1425335964, Booking.com, 01 окт 2018

  • Exceptional
    Handywater is an amazing little gem just outside Henley on Thames. There are many great walks you can take just outside the premise and Henley on Thames is a simple 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive. Next door is a great restaurant (Mary Berry ate in there when we visited!) but you are also welcome to eat your own food in the room, plates, cups and cutlery are provided. Breakfast was exceptional, you can choose from a wide range of food and cute touches such as fruit kebabs and a smiley face in the butter! :) The B&B is surrounded by the Chilterns beauty and has a charming garden to relax in. We stayed in the sunflower room which was very spacious and immaculately clean. The room had everything you'd need, including a mini fridge, walk in wardrobe, ironing board and iron, tea and coffee making facilities, toiletries and a hairdryer. The shower had a great pressure and you can choose normal or rainfall. Natalie and Ray were wonderful hosts, they showed us some walks we could do and said they could pick us up if we got tired. They were very willing to hell with any queries we had! Thank you for a fabulous stay, we hope to return soon!
    I couldn't fault it

  • Delightful in every way.
    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.

  • If there were Michelin Stars for B&B's then HandyWater deserves 3.
    This was a B&B par Excellence. From initial arrival to leaving, Natalie & Raymond could not have been more friendly and attentive to every need. Immaculate room and facilities. Most comfortable bed (We had uninterrupted sleep each night). Superb breakfast. Must not forget the most welcome glass or two of Prosecco on arrival. We do not normally visit the same place twice but I know we will make an exception with the Handywater Cottage B&B.

    — Charles, (GB), Booking.com, 14 сен 2018

  • Five stars and definitely 10/10 for us. Cannot fault the accommodation, the location or the hospitality. Natalie and Ray went the extra mile (literally with the pick ups and drop offs!) to ensure our stay was great. Would recommend and also stay again when we are in the area. Many thanks Anne and Ryan

    — Anne Walker, 10 сен 2018

    — Derrick, AirBnB.com, 31 авг 2018

  • Outstanding!
    Simply Outstanding!! Beautiful premises and the rooms are sheer luxury! Spotlessly clean and VERY comfortable beds. Very thoughtful touches with complimentary water and soft drinks and luxury toiletries. Though this is just the tip of the iceberg.. the premises are fantastic with gorgeous manicured grounds and beautiful views. Greeted by the most wonderful hosts, Natalie and Ray who offered us Prosecco on arrival and were so warm and welcoming. Natalie and Ray went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic stay including kindly transporting us to and from a local festival and providing hearty breakfasts of outstanding quality with various options available. This is truly the best accomodation I have ever stayed in and I can't wait to book again next time we are in the UK. Thank you very much Ray and Natalie!!

    — Jennifer, (NZ), Booking.com, 29 авг 2018

  • Amazing couple, couldnt do enough for us.
    Everything was amazing, we even got a lift to the wedding venue that we were attending! Raymond and natalie could not do enough for us! The room was very clean and facilities very good, 2 mins drive from henley and a prosecco on arrival what more could you ask for! Would recommend to anyone visiting Henley!

    — Liam, (GB), Booking.com, 27 ��вг 2018

  • Natalie and Ray are the perfect hosts. We loved everything about our stay from the friendly welcome with prosecco to the facilities in the room (complimentary soft drinks, toiletries and fab shower) and the lovely breakfast made by Natalie's own fair hands. Ray's great sense of humour and the free taxi service to/from the festival just topped off the perfection!! Would love to give it a terrible review just to keep it a secret so there will be space for us in the future, but that wouldn't be fair. Definitely recommend this 5* luxury B&B to anyone wanting a stay in or around the Henley area. We'll be back !!

    There was nothing at all to dislike!! However, as someone who likes a cool room I found it a bit too warm; so with the window open, the fan on and removing the duvet from the cover we had a great night's sleep!

    — Susan, (GB), Booking.com, 21 авг 2018

  • A fabulous place to stay.
    The facilities and location are second to none, the hospitality from Natalie and Ray is amazing and breakfast is a delight. There is nothing to dislike about Handywater Cottage.

    — Julia, (GB), Booking.com, 17 авг 2018

  • Amazing.
    Everything the place and location was exceptional. The host and hostess did everything to ensure we had everything we needed and even dropped us off at the venue we were attending. When we walked into our accommodation I felt as though I had stepped into our own honeymoon suit. Fantastic!

    — Christine, (GB), Booking.com, 14 авг 2018

  • Definitely worth staying.
    Very friendly, very clean, nice and quiet, in the country, secure parking, nice food, short drive to Henley, chickens and a donkey.

    — Stuart, (GB), Booking.com, 13 авг 2018

  • Lovely to be offered a lift when we went to order a taxi. Clean and friendly.
    If you like your own space you may find the owners slightly over-bearing

    — Marnie, (GB), Booking.com, 13 авг 2018

  • Amazing find, 5 star b & b
    We loved the whole experience. Natalie and Raymond are such warm friendly people. They can’t do enough for you.. If we are in the area again we will certainly be back.

  • The best BnB we have ever stayed in!
    The wonderful greeting by the hosts. The feeling of luxury in every aspect of the room - and the main house for breakfast! Breakfast was excellent and freshly prepared to order. The gastro-pub next door was an added bonus and also excellent.
    There was absolutely nothing to dislike!!

    — Peter, (GB), Booking.com, 12 авг 2018

  • Absolutely perfect, sorry we had to leave early and miss breakfast!
    Incredibly welcoming and friendly, we were offered complimentary prosecco on arrival, and our hosts booked a table for dinner for us so we didn't have the hassle. They were also kind enough to drive us into Henley to enjoy a day out.

  • The best place to stay for a short trip to beautiful Henley!
    This is quite literally the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Incredible location, with impeccable facilities - and the hosts Natalie and Ray made us feel incredibly welcome (and even offered to drive us to and from the local pub..if we fancied a drink that evening) There is also a Michelin - starred pub next door, with rabbits etc. / other animals in the beer garden if you don't fancy travelling too far. Cannot recommend highly enough for a relaxing / chic stay in Henley!

    — Andrew, (GB), Booking.com, 30 июл 2018

  • Handywater Cottage ist ein ganz besonderes B&B, wo wir uns rundherum wohl gefühlt haben.
    Handywater Cottage hat unsere Erwartungen trotzt der gelesenen sehr guten Bewertungen übertroffen. Es gibt zwei separate Gebäude mit je zwei Zimmern. In einem Gebäude sind noch Terrassen mit Blick in die Natur vor den Zimmern. Die Zimmer sind überdurchschnittlich hochwertig und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Im begehbaren Kleiderschrank befindet sich ein Kühlschrank voll mit verschiedenen (nichtalkoholischen) Getränken, die gratis zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Ebenso Kaffee und Tee zum Selberaufbrühen. Das Highlight dieser Unterkunft sind jedoch die Gastgeber Nathalie und Raymond, die uns das Gefühl gegeben haben, Freunde zu besuchen. Wir haben uns nach viel zu kurzen 3 Nächten mit großer Wehmut vom Handywater Cottage verabschiedet und werden bestimmt noch einmal kommen! Vielen Dank für die tollen Tage!!! We miss you!

    Handywater Cottage is a very special B&B, where we felt comfortable all around.
    Handywater Cottage has surpassed our expectations despite the very good reviews read. There are two separate buildings with two rooms each. In a building are still terraces with a view in the nature in front of the rooms. The rooms are above average high quality and furnished with great attention to detail. In the walk-in wardrobe there is a fridge full of various (non-alcoholic) drinks, which are provided free of charge. Coffee and tea are also brewed. The highlight of this accommodation, however, are the hosts Nathalie and Raymond, who have given us the feeling of visiting friends. After much too short 3 nights we passed with great melancholy from the Handywater cottage and will definitely come again! Thanks for the great days!!! We miss you!

    — Antje, (DE), Booking.com, 27 июл 2018

  • Excellent in every respect and left a warm feeling that we will return.
    This is simply the most comfortable B&B we have stayed in recently. The owners were outstandin in their welcome. Nothing too much trouble.

  • Excellent B&B in beautiful location run by very nice and helpful people.
    Very friendly owners. Very nice property in lovely location. Breakfast was excellent. The room was very comfortable with the best bed/ mattress I slept in for a long time.

    — Roland, (GB), Booking.com, 16 июл 2018

  • Handywater is truly a special place. We could not have picked a better location. Our hosts, Natalie and Raymond, are truly special folks. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a first class experience is unmatched. And the property is an oasis of comfort and peace, especially after a busy day of sightseeing and/or travel. The breakfasts were also special, especially when outside over-looking the wonderful scenery. Handywater will certainly be a place we will return to.

    — Macauley Nash, AirBnB , 16 июл 2018

  • Impressive.
    Unfortunately we could only stay one night. First class accommodation with attention to fine detail. Hosts were obliging in every way. Highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆

  • 7 stars B&B! Bonuses to both Natalie and her lovely husband.
    Had a perfect time with my sister, fantastic house, high spec facilities everywhere! The owners are so friendly, kind and wonderful! Even the pets are welcoming and warm. Breakfast was the best we’ve ever had. Rich and tasty, much more than expected. The room was amazingly comfortable and the views are stunning.
    We didn’t like to leave. Will certainly be back!

    — Esther, (GB), Booking.com, 03 июл 2018

  • Natalie and Ray are the most wonderful hosts, we loved our time at Handywater Cottage B&B. The rooms are beautiful, tasteful and spacious & everywhere was spotless! Super comfy beds and a shower that really was exceptional.
    The grounds of the B&B are so pretty and being able to meet the chickens (and with Ray's expert guidance pick one up), feed the fish and spend time with their two beautiful cats was very special.
    Natalie is the ultimate hostess and her breakfast is second to none...from oodles of fruit and yogurt to the most delicious cooked breakfast any of us have had in a long time...endless coffee and juice too.
    Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful B&B and we cannot wait to find an excuse to come back.
    Most certainly worth your 5* status...you exceed on every level!

  • 5* ++ luxury, great food and chat and we cannot wait to return!!!
    The accommodation is well beyond 5*! Location is excellent, the rooms are beautiful, the cottage grounds are stunning and the interaction with the owners was great. They will be as hands on or hands off as you need/want - nothing is too much trouble for them. Natalie’s breakfast is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! We loved meeting the cats and the chickens and getting a lesson from Ray on how to hold a chicken. Fabulous experience, smashing hosts and amazing accommodation and food!!

  • We have had a wonderful stay for four nights! A beautiful home, very clean romms and generous and welcoming hosts. We recommend without hesitation Handywater Cottage. There are also beautiful walks along the river Thames and interesting manors like Disrealis House or Greys Court. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed with prosecco. We were made to feel welcome. Natalie and Ray are a lovely and caring couple who enjoy having guests from all parts of the world. Natalie and Ray drove their guests to hidden and romantic pubs for supper. The breakfast was outstanding. There were many personal touches we enjoyed . The breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. Most of all we enjoyed good and witty conversations with Ray, Natalie and other guests. We will be back as soon as we can. Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable stay. See you soon Natalie and Ray either in Lower Assendon or in Switzerland. And thank you so much for our beloved Laphroig which strengthend our mood and soul.

    Natalie and Ray couldn't have done any more to make our stay enjoyable. They arranged for restaurants and dropped us off, and we enjoyed delicious breakfasts that Natalie cooked. They have a lovely house with cottages and chickens out the back.

    — Melissa, (GB), Booking.com, 11 июн 2018

  • The very best B&B you are ever likely to find !
    To start .. the welcome we received when we arrived was as if we were long lost friends ! Prosseco as you sign in and time to get to know the wonderful hosts Ray and Natalie. Having checked if we would like them to take us into Henley for a party we were shown to a fantastic and tasteful room with a great countryside view and a spacious en suite ( also immaculate ) Breakfast which was cooked to perfection was served in a lovely dining room with very attentive service from both Natalie and Ray . We noticed Ray collecting the eggs for breakfast from his chickens first thing in the morning . Finally we were waved away after a thoroughly enjoyable stay . Finally I would conclude that it really isn't an exaggeration that you really would be hard pushed to find somewhere on a par . Thank you Ray and Natalie ,we will be back.

    — Brendanr guildford surrey, TripAdvisor, 10 июн 2018

  • A truly wonderful experience. The site, the accommodation, the food absolutely first class.

    We arrived late on a hot afternoon and Ray and Natalie welcomed us with a cold glass of Prosecco in their lovely garden. Our stay exceeded all expectations. The chalet with en suite shower room was spotless and very tastefully decorated. The bed was king size and wonderfully comfortable. An extra bonus was the lovely patio with gorgeous views across the Oxfordshire countryside. Our hosts could not have been more gracious and helpful, and we will certainly be back.

    — Anonymous, Booking.com, 11 май 2018

  • Outstanding - Honestly the best B & B we have ever stayed in, worldwide.
    From the moment we arrived and were warmly welcomed with a glass of prosecco, to the moment we left having bought two jars of Natalies' gorgeous home made marmalade, we were made to feel so welcome. Natalie and Ray are a lovely couple and seemed to genuinely enjoy having their visitors. The view from our cottage was beautiful overlooking a paddock with fruit trees in blossom and chickens. We were staying in Henley as my husband was running a 'Tough Mudder' event. He mentioned to Ray that he would be receiving a bottle of cider as he completed the event. Ray asked him if he would like one when he got back that evening. When we arrived back, as soon as we drove up Natalie appeared with two cold bottles of cider and glasses. They really do treat you as part of the family. The breakfast was absolutely the best we have ever had. The personal touches like a blackboard with a personal message for you, together with expected weather for the day. A little smiley face in the butter, music playing. The food was wonderful and plentiful too. Scrambled egg and a mountain of smoked salmon (eggs from the chickens), fruit skewers, porridge, cereals, juice, tea, coffee, croissants, toast, yoghurt and more. Natalie and Ray, we will most definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay. Carole and Andy x

    The weather! Even then, there are umbrellas outside the cottage in case it rained.

  • Short weekend break.
    Ray and Natalie were fantastic hosts. The accommodation is great (can't think of anythijg negative to say) and the breakfast was amazing; cannot usurp the egg which was fresh that morning. They went out of their way to help and their warmth adds to the stay, and they were happy to provide us with a taxi service to and from Henley. Will definitely stay again in future. A lovely part of the world also.

    — Johnny Kersse, (GB), Booking.com, 15 апр 2018

  • Absolutely the best B&B in the Henley area, and I can attest to this because I have stayed at them all.
    Natalie and Raymond are wonderful Hosts’ and have made my stays very special.
    The accommodations are excellent, and the breakfast undeniably superb. Eggs are right from the owners hens that freely roam about the grounds.
    The place is located in the wonderful English countryside, yet easy access to downtown Henley and an array of local restaurants nearby, one of which, I would never have discovered or even found had it not been for Natalie and Raymond. [That place is a must, and the proprietors will know where I mean. ]
    I truly look forward to my next visit.

  • My daughter and son in law spent a night at Handywater Cottage and they had a marvelous time. Ray and Natalie were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for them. It is a beautiful setting and the bedroom was much more than 5* with every need catered for. My family would have no hesitation in returning to this lovely old house with a modern twist to the two standalone and private rooms in the grounds. Well worth a visit if you are near Henley. Penny

  • Highly, highly recommended. Go treat yourself.
    Everything. Firstly the hosts Ray and Natalie are so welcoming, friendly, thoughtful and interesting. We only stayed one night, unfortunately, and departed feeling we had left good friends behind. Secondly the rooms are immaculate, spotlessly clean, peaceful, very comfortable beds and Natalie's attention to detail is to be applauded. Thirdly a lovely breakfast with healthy choices if required sets you up for the day. The whole package really exceeded our expectations, thank you again Ray and Natalie.

  • I would be interested if anyone could find a fault with this place. Nothing not to like

    — Paul, (GB), Booking.com, 10 ноя 2017

  • Fabulous hosts, picture perfect setting, great location, the perfect place to stay for a break away.
    Our room was perfect, the setting was stunning and the hosts were wonderful. We will definitely visit again and recommend it to all our friends.

    — Tania, (GB), Booking.com, 06 ноя 2017

  • What a wonderful stay we have had! It has surpassed all our expectations. A beautiful and immaculate home and some incredibly generous and welcoming hosts. The attention to detail has been second to none and the breakfast was impeccable. We recommend without hesitation and will look forward to our return stay. There are also some beautiful local walks to be enjoyed - thank you Natalie and Ray. See you again.

  • Had a wonderful stay at Handywater Cottage. Ray & Natalie are a lovely couple welcomed us with a glass of bubbly, beautiful room with stunning views and a fabulous breakfast �� would recommend it to anyone !! Also the Golden Ball pub next door has fantastic food !!

    — Melanie Bryant Was Wright, Facebook.com, 29 окт 2017

  • "Simply the best !!" Natalie and Ray run a fabulous BandB. The rooms are super and the breakfast is excellent, it really sets you up for the day. Natalie runs the show, whilst Ray takes care of Monty and Lollo (Burmese cats) and the garden.Fortunately we were warned in advance but still found Monty trying to stowaway in our car on the last day !! Would we recommend Handywater ? You bet we would. We had a wonderful three nights and will be back. Thank you Natalie, Ray, Monty and Lollo for a lovely time. xx

    — Adrian & Wendy Scott, 23 окт 2017

  • Amazing B&B.
    Everything is was perfect! We stayed here for a friends wedding but it was also our 7 year anniversary and they did everything to make it feel like a special break for us. The room was immaculately clean as if we were the first people to ever sleep in it and the service was fantastic. We woke up to and 5* breakfast, the choice wasn’t like anything I’ve had before! Choice of cooked breakfasts plus cereal, pastries, fruit and yoghurt all displayed so beautiful with fresh red roses! I couldn’t praise them more and it was absolutely worth the money spent.

    — Ria, (GB), Booking.com, 17 окт 2017

  • Exceeded expectation!
    Just returned from an overnight stay at this fabulous place ! Where can I start ... beautiful location ! Beautiful accommodation! Very clean and very tastefully done , bed very comfy ! Was greeted on arrival by Natalie and few glasses of prosecco! What more can a girl ask for ! Natalie's breakfast was delicious! Would recommend highly as one of the nicest B&B's we've stayed will definitely return again for another stay !

    — Lucy W., TripAdvisor, 17 окт 2017

  • Truly a gem! I stayed here for a two night visit while conducting business in the area, and I must say I could've stayed for a month! The proprietors Ray and Natalie are the nicest people on the planet and the most gracious hosts you could ever ask for. The grounds and accommodations are beautiful and breakfast was scrumptious. The best part of the trip though was the caring that Ray and Natalie put in to ensure all my needs were cared for. Sometimes its the little things that one appreciates most. Thank you for your hospitality and I look forward to coming back again soon!

    — Steve Baker, TripAdvisor, 14 окт 2017

  • Great! Friendly, fun and arty quirkiness.
    The owners were very friendly, very hospitable. My only wish would have been that we didn't have to sit at the same table as others for breakfast. There are time spots but if others come for their time slot early or if you spend a bit longer than intended eating or waiting for food then others join you at same table. I'm sociable but not that sociable to share my breakfast table with strangers. For this price I would have expected a private breakfast room. Sorry but I was expecting it for us only. If there were more people it would have been very crowded and strangers eating together just didn't feel right. There should be another couple of tables available. We loved meeting the pets, cats, chickens and fish. Great happy and colourful artwork.All lovely. Thank you and hope the comments are not taken personally. Paula and Gareth.
    Eating on the same breakfast table with strangers was a bit awkward.

    — Paula, (GB), Booking.com, 09 окт 2017

  • Everything beautiful gardens perfect spot very peaceful. Ray and Natalie were brilliant made to feel like friends rather than guests very welcoming.

    — Marie pearson, (GB), Booking.com, 01 окт 2017

  • Very clean & very welcoming hosts 😊
    Everything was lovely from arrival to when we left. We stayed another night as we enjoyed it that much. Natalie and Ray were lovely hosts, really made us feel welcome 😊

    — Darren and Shirley Scott, (GB), Booking.com, 30 сен 2017

  • Cant wait to return.......
    Really lovely, comfortable room in converted cow shed, attached to beautiful country cottage. Very nicely decorated rooms, little terrace at the back, very private with small table and chairs, perfect to watch the sunset. Right next door to Golden Ball Pub (food is superb!). Can't wait to go back. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas, places to eat, shop etc.

    — FifiLeBonBon, (GB), Booking.com, 25 сен 2017

  • WOW.......the most lovely 500 year old cottage B & B owned and hosted by Ray and Natalie who gave us such a warm welcome that when we departed it felt as if we had been visiting old friends. The cottage and bedrooms have been restored with the finest attendance to detail and design, if we had looked for faults there were none. Greeted on arrival by both of them with a glass ( or 2 ) of prosecco we were made to feel very welcome. We were attending a cousin's wedding at the nearby Crooked Billet restaurant and Ray immediately insisted on taking us there and then collecting us when we were ready to leave the party, stopping on the way home around 10.30'ish to show us Ian Flemings mansion now a hospice run by Sue Ryder. We will be recommending Handywater to all our friends and we are already planning a return visit when we will spend time exploring nearby Henley on Thames. We stayed overnight from 23rd/24th September and wished we could have stayed another night.

    — Stewart & Carol Kerry, 24 сен 2017

  • Peaceful getaway.
    Such a warm welcome from Natalie & Ray. Beautiful house and gardens and amazing rooms. Lovely and quiet and a lovely pub next door. Natalie & Ray really went out of their way to make us feel welcome offering lifts and booking us tables for dinner. Thank you for a lovely weekend, we hope to see you again soon!

    — Rachael Kennedy, (GB), Booking.com, 18 сен 2017

  • Home away from home!
    If you are looking for a home away from home choose Handywater B&B. Natalie and Ray went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - particularly on arrival as we were greeted with...a glass of prosecco! They also offered their services as our personal taxi drivers into and home from town. The bedroom was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. Thank you both for a weekend full of laughter!

    — Katie, (GB), Booking.com, 17 сен 2017

  • Absolutely marvellous !, we stayed over the recent Bank Holiday weekend for our 42nd wedding anniversary and can honestly say that 'perfection' does not do this location & accommodation full justice (there must be a stronger word !). From the lovely welcome right through to the most sincere 'good-bye', we felt that we were Royalty. Nothing was too much trouble for this lovely couple and as regular visitors to the Chilterns (from down here on the Isle of Wight) we will not be staying anywhere else in future. We have been fortunate-enough to have travelled extensively around the World over the years, staying in a wide variety of hotels, guest houses & b&b's, but Handywater certainly rates right up there at the top of the list. Well done Natalie and Ray and a great big 'thank you' - we shall see you again soon

    — Monica & Nigel, 04 сен 2017

  • This is the most fantastic B&B we have stayed in. Natalie & Ray are very welcoming, with a cold glass of proseco. The breakfast is fantastic and all freshly cooked, with a very comprehensive choice. The cottage is delightful and the bedroom we had, in the bungalow was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We highly recommend this place and will definately be staying again. Thank you both for a very enjoyable weekend.

    — Monica & Nigel, 31 авг 2017

  • It was home from home.
    Natalie& Ray are an extremely lovely couple, they made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic and so much choice!!. We will definitely be staying there again.
    Nothing, it was all perfect.

  • lovely people, lovely location, lovely stay!
    Natalie and Ray were so welcoming and friendly, - they really made us feel at home from the minute we arrived at their beautiful house. Our room felt so luxurious, from the huge double shower to the comfy sumptuous bed, it was perfect! The views of the surrounding countryside were stunning and the garden was so well kept and pretty. It really is a wonderful retreat, where you come away feeling relaxed and spoilt. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious as well! We shall definitely be returning one day :)
    Nothing, everything was perfect!

    — Samantha, (GB), Booking.com, 28 авг 2017

  • Perfect in every way!
    Natalie and Raymond were fantastic! The whole stay was amazing - a lovely place. We will definitely be returning! I don't normally bother to review a place but it was sooo good.
    Everything was perfect.

    — Sara (GB), Booking.com, 27 авг 2017

  • Amazing comfy rooms and awesome breakfasts!
    Natalie and Raymond couldn't have been more hospitable and kind. They went to such lengths to ensure we had the best weekend. From booking us in to the local pub for lunch to the incredible breakfasts - it was all fab. We have already booked for next year!

    — Georgina P., TripAdvisor, 23 авг 2017

  • Best B&B I have stayed in.
    Handywater cottage is located in Little Assenden close to Henley on Thames and run and owned by Natalie and Ray. The quality of our two night stay was at the top end of excellent due to the kindness and help of our hosts. Our room was of a particularly high standard ( a vase of yellow roses adorned the room). Outside was a small patio where we could relax and enjoy the sun and rural view. The room was quiet; the bathroom was fitted with high quality materials and the bed large which meant a good night's sleep before enjoying a magnificent breakfast served in a lovely dining room. Next door is a great restaurant. We will go back.

    — adcta, TripAdvisor, 21 авг 2017

  • Natalie and Ray could not have made us feel more welcome. The Prosecco on arrival was a wonderful touch and very much enjoyed whilst sat in the sun on the patio overlooking the beautiful fields and countryside. The accommodation was stunning, exceptionally clean and homely and the full English home cooked breakfast before we left was just delicious. Everything about our stay was perfect - thank you for having us Natalie and Ray. Your home is a real credit to you both and we will be back to see you both next year!

    — Debbie E., AirBnB , 20 авг 2017

  • Fantastic Cottage!
    We had a very nice one night stay in this lovely cottage, which is located in a beautiful part of the country side.
    We were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco, by 2 very friendly hosts, Raymond and Natalie. They also have 2 very beautiful and friendly cats :)
    Rooms were very nice and clean.
    Also, a nice breakfast with a large selection was served in the morning.
    Thanks again to Natalie who prepared the breakfast very early (I was taking part to the Thames Marathon), and offered a lift to the Henley Leander Club.
    Highly recommended.

    — Stephane (Cambridge), TripAdvisor, 18 авг 2017

  • Beautiful accommodation, stunning location, perfect hosts!
    The cottages are tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable and the location is perfect. Five minutes away from a thriving, pretty Henley town centre which has the added bonus of being on the river. Natalie and Raymond made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Will definitely visit again.

    — patclare1964, TripAdvisor, 17 авг 2017

  • My girlfriend and I had the loveliest one night stay here the room was perfect the views are gorgeous and the service is great would definitely stay here again as Raymond and Natalie are very welcoming and make you feel well looked after.

    — Alice Clark, Facebook.com , 04 авг 2017

  • Wonderful B&B expertly run!
    Fantastic B&B, run expertly by the beautiful Natalie, supported by Raymond, an old sea dog full of tales of the high seas! They couldn't do enough for us! Divine beds, bedding, large shower and pretty patio! Breakfasts were a treat! Great location to Henley, will definitely stay again!
    Nothing, this was 100% perfect!

    — Deborah, (GB), Booking.com, 02 авг 2017

  • Natalie provides a fantastic experience: the main house and courtyard is delightful, and the purpose built cottages are beautiful, and have all amenities you might want for a little stay. There is also a quiet garden out back for coffee and views of the hills. Natalie provided us with a fantastic breakfast in the morning, at a time of our choice, and was super generous by giving us a lift to and from the wedding we were attending. Highly recommend this AirBnB property.

    — Florence & Alex, AirBnB, 01 авг 2017

  • Beautiful Cottage and beautiful owners.
    We had a lovely stay at the stunning Handywater Cottage. Natalie and Ray, thank you for making my husband and i feel so welcome. You looked after us so well and we left feeling truly pampered. Breakfast was delicious too... hope to stay with you soon.

    — Nisha Kumar-Saujani, (GB), Booking.com, 23 июл 2017

  • Delightful experience. Will definitely be back!
    Natalie and Ray were "off the charts" in terms of customer service. Both are extremely friendly and accommodating. Not only did they drive me to my meeting in the morning, they also offered to have me join them for dinner at a local pub. Was so much fun! Natalie's breakfast was excellent - she definitely knows how to make proper eggs - and her fried toast is delicious - Gordon Ramsey would be proud!

    — Terri, (US), Booking.com, 20 июл 2017

  • Excellent company, great place to stay.
    Wonderful 500 year old house with a lot of character. Breakfast was superb and owners were extremely friendly.
    Difficult to find, despite being right next to the pub.

    — Sybil, (GB), Booking.com, 19 июл 2017

  • The most wonderful place to stay.
    The hosts could not have done enough for us. The bed was amazing and the facilities were impeccable. Breakfast far exceeded any I have had in any hotel or B & B. Handywater Cottage is the best place in which I have stayed and I would recommend it thoroughly.
    I have no complaints at all.

    — Julia, (GB), Booking.com, 18 июл 2017

  • A gorgeous surprise.
    A stunning B & B with delightful hosts. Set in picturesque countryside, this accommodation hits all the marks. We spend one warm comfortable night en route to Kent. Our room was stunning with lovely crisp linen, a cosy bed and a filling breakfast, particularly Natalie's special toast. Natalie and Ray clearly enjoy hosting guests and we enjoyed their lively conversation. Highly recommended.

    — Rod, (GB), Booking.com, 04 июл 2017

  • What a great couple to have as hosts. Both Ray and Natalie were great hosts and very generous. They made us feel very welcomed and couldn't really do enough. They gave us many times a lift to Henley and booked a lovely meal to the pub next door. As far as I'm concerned this is the place for us to stay when we visit Henley. Lovely welcoming home and the facilities were just as advertised. Nothing was missing. A great experience....

    — Dionysis K, AirBnB, 04 июл 2017

  • “Warmest welcome, ice-cold fizz!”
    Stayed here for one night and had the most amazing time. Natalie and Ray were so welcoming from the moment I arrived, taking me into their home and offering a glass or two of much needed fizz!

    A very genuine couple, nothing was too much trouble and they even let me leave my car there whilst I went off the following day.

    Everything was well appointed in the room to a very high standard. Very clean and great attention to detail. Lots of choice for breakfast and very tasty too.

    In all a superb little haven within walking distance of Henley.

The accommodation is superb, and Natalie's breakfasts are legendary. In a beautiful area, right next to the pub....what else could you need? Wonderful hosts, just one thing though......Ray's jokes are terrible , but I think we gave as good as we got. Hope to return, really good base to explore the area. Fantastic. Pat.

  • Only stayed at the Handywater cottage for a night, but our stay was absolutely fantastic. Ray and Natalie are just so lovely and helpful, they were even so kind to give us a lift to the town centre and picked us up late in the evening too. Breakfast was just delicious and bed very comfortable. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Great hospitality!

  • Handywater heaven.
    Ray and Natalie were congenial hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Immaculate and beautiful property in lovely country location with chickens providing the eggs for a generous breakfast. An excellent restaurant next door was the icing on the cake - no need to travel for a Michelin star quality dinner at a reasonable price.
    Rooms could have been a bit bigger - hard to fit two suitcases. This didn't really detract from the lovely time though.

    — Riggsy, (GB), Booking.com, 28 май 2017

  • Wonderful place, will be staying again and hopefully spend more time with the owners, wonderful couple. Stunning rooms, extremely clean, amazing location, super food. I have stayed in many places around the area but for me this is the one.

  • Beautiful. We found this wonderful place to stay by chance. I wish I could keep this a secret but it wouldn't be fair. What a beautiful setting only a mile or so from Henley. The accommodation is 5 star. The decor and the bathroom in the cottage is exquisite. What value for money. Our hosts, Natalie and Raymond were wonderful and charming, oh and the breakfast was magnificent. Truthfully I did not want to leave. When you consider what the prices are in the hotels nearby this wonderful accommodation is an absolute bargain. We will be returning when we have more time to relax. Thank you Natalie and Raymond and I hope you had a wonderful birthday Natalie. Hopefully we will see you again soon!

  • Perfect.
    We couldn't believe our luck with Handywater Cottage. We thought we had hit the jackpot. We would far rather stay in this kind of accommodation than a hotel and I would rate this far higher than a 5* hotel. You would never get such personal attention and Natalie and Ray certainly gave us that in oodles. The standard of the facilities is fantastic and the breakfast top notch. It is situated in glorious countryside and very handy for Henley. A must for anyone wanting to experience a warm, welcoming experience.

  • Everything you could ever need with the warmest of welcomes.
    Everything. The two owners are such lovely people and gave us a very warm welcome. Breakfast was beautiful and the room was clean, modern and well equipped. The views, location and restaurant next door were just the icing on the most amazing birthday cake.

  • A little gem on the doorstep of Henley on Thames.
    Natalie and Ray were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much for them. Breakfast was fabulous. Accommodation was to a very high spec, comfortable and spotless. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back.

  • Faultless. Much better than a hotel.
    My husband and I absolutely loved everything about our stay. The room was beautifully decorated, the beds were very comfortable the view was beautiful, breakfast was excellent and our hosts could not have been more welcoming.
    We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more or received more of a welcome if we had booked into a five star hotel. I would recommend Handywater Cottage to anyone.

  • Fantastic find.
    Handywater cottage was like a home from home. Newly built everything was clean and fresh. The bed was so comfy. We had the best nights sleep in peaceful surroundings. My husband and I had the Wisteria cottage which had a patio overlooking a small orchard, great place to sit and have a coffee in the morning while nature wakes up around you. Full English or continental breakfast anything you wish for and a restaraunt just next door that serves award winning food for a cosy evening meal Hosts Natalie and Raymond were fantastic and could not do enough for us. We didn't want to go home and are looking forward to going back.

  • Found a little piece of heaven.
    We found Handywater by pure chance and it was as though it was meant to be. It was the last night of our travels and we wished we had found it earlier as we did not really want to go home. We were in Wisteria room which has a patio overlooking a small orchard. It was so peaceful and very clean. We had the best nights sleep with hypoallergenic bedding and a Hypnos mattress. I have a bad back and rarely get a good nights sleep, Well I was out cold. We were greeted with a glass of wine and a chat about the area Natalie and Raymond really do take care of their guests nothing was too much for this wonderful couple Natalie prepares a full English breakfast with anything you could wish for. If you prefer a lighter breakfast there are also cereals, croissants, juices and fruit. Next door is a restaurant which serves award winning food and we had a lovely evening meal. We will be going back and have already planned our next trip.

  • Natalie and Ray were amazing hosts- extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. The room is really lovely and breakfast was excellent! The location is beautiful - we would highly recommend coming to stay here!

    — Charlotte McKenna, AirBnB, 23 апр 2017

  • From the moment we arrived at Natalie and Ray's home we were made to feel very welcome. We even had our wedding photos taken in their garden! After pulling into their drive from a long afternoon spent setting up our wedding venue, they invited us straight into their garden for a much-needed glass of prosecco and a chat. The room was comfortable and stylish, and had lovely views over the countryside. Natalie's breakfasts were a highlight of our stay! She provided us with an incredible spread, with everything from fresh berries to a full English. We couldn't recommend this AirBnB enough!

    — Jenny & Tom, AirBnB, 16 апр 2017

  • An amazing place to stay. We were really well looked after and made to feel very welcome. I would really recommend it. Thank you so much for hosting us! We had a great time and really enjoyed staying with you again. It was very kind of you both to transport us around!

    — Adam, AirBnB, 06 апр 2017

  • “Perfect in every way!”
    We needed somewhere to stay near Henley for a family occasion and were lucky enough to choose this exceptional B & B. Our hosts Ray and Natalie could not have been more helpful and kind. The breakfast was ample and delicious and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend this place too highly and we will certainly be staying there again next time we are visiting family.

    — Sheila & Bob, TripAdvisor, 14 янв 2017

  • If you're looking for something which is extra special, then look no further! Natalie and Ray's love of 5 star travelling means you get the same treatment as their guest! From the beautiful character cottage, to the warmest of welcomes, and the delicious breakfast, we will definitely stay again.

  • We loved staying with Natalie and Ray! We stayed for one night and were attending a wedding nearby. From the moment we drove up they made us feel at home. They welcomed us with a hot cup of tea and then helped us to book a table next door for an amazing lunch! The two rooms were lovely and there is a separate bathroom for guests. They provided everything you could need: towels, shampoo, conditioner and an amazing atmosphere. The great stay ended with our breakfast (which was more like a feast!) in the morning before we left. We would definitely stay with Natalie and Ray again if I had any reason to be in the area!

  • We had a wonderful time at Natalie and Raymond’s. They are the most welcoming and attentive guests. The cottage is full of character and charm, in a picturesque countryside and very close to the lovely Henley-on-Thames. Our rooms were perfect - comfortable, very clean, and quiet. And you couldn’t dream of a better breakfast the following morning, so well prepared by Nathalie, and served in the lovely dinning room. The nearby restaurant is also great, super food, and atmosphere, and so convenient to just walk there. We had a great stay and can only warmly recommend it.

  • “Simply stunning, a beautiful home and wonderful hosts”
    We can't thank Natalie and Raymond enough for such warm and welcoming hospitality in their exquisite home. Set in stunning surroundings just a few miles from Henley, the perfect location to explore such a beautiful and diverse area. The rooms we enjoyed were peaceful and beautifully presented, and a delicious home cooked breakfast certainly set us all up for the day. We'd more than recommend Handywater Cottage to anyone looking for a 5 star weekend with all the trimmings enjoyed in the company of two genuinely thoughtful & lovely hosts. We hope to be back soon!

    — Josie & Roger, AirBnB, 21 авг 2016

  • The cottage is located in a beautiful area just outside Henley on Thames. The views all around are stunning and there is a very nice restaurant next door. The room was clean and tidy and the bed very comfy. The breakfast was out of this world! But none of this compared to the incredible hospitality shown by Natalie and Ray. I have never felt so at home and comfortable when staying in a BnB. They certainly go the extra mile to make their guests feel at home.

  • Natalie and Ray were absolutely delightful hosts. Their home is simply spectacular, meticulously clean and maintained, and warm and comfortable. They went out of their way to welcome us in their home, and share their appreciation and knowledge of Henley and the countryside. Not only were they gracious and generous hosts (and wonderful cooks) they are now wonderful friends. Thank you Natalie and Ray !!!
