Set within the historic River Cottage, a different kind of stay unfolds.

Our loft rooms offer a contemporary layer to one of Weltevreden’s oldest spaces — where heritage architecture meets a more modern, design-led finish.

Elevated beneath the thatched roof and exposed beams, these rooms feel quietly removed — light-filled, considered, and deeply connected to the character of the building itself.

Just beyond, the river and surrounding landscape create a sense of seclusion, where the estate feels softer, slower, and more private.

This is River Cottage, reimagined — where history and modern comfort meet in a way that feels both grounded and refined.
