Summary: A wonderful location. Chistine provided detailed instructions for everything. Eaton and Windsor are beautiful towns connected by a foot bridge.Rafts Cottage was perfect. A rare find

Summary: Couldn't have had a better experience or been in a nicer place. Expensive but worth it. House right across the river from Windsor Castle. Three levels with three nice bedrooms/ensuites. All the supplies and needed household items on site when we arrived.

Summary: What a great location, walking distance to everything you need. The house was great for our family, well equipped kitchen, we did cook Christmas dinner, as well as sample the local restaurants. The children 8 & 12 loved watching the activities on the river including the swans, park close by to kick a ball. Owner responses right on.

Summary: A unique stay in the centre of Eton and Windsor, with plenty to do around and about. We stayed as a family of four, with two teenage daughters and thoroughly enjoyed our week there. The house is extremely comfortable with luxury bedrooms and en-suites all round. The living areas are spacious and comfortable with the jewel in the crown being the deck and dock directly on the Thames. It was lovely to sit and chill whilst watching the day boats, cruisers and paddlers as they went about their daily bustle. Then in the evening the river quiets down and the pedestrian traffic on the opposite bank and across the bridge provides plenty of colour and interest whilst you sip your chilled drinks and admire the view of the ever present castle above the town. Completely surrounded by cafes and restaurants of all cuisines, you're spoilt for choice and will hardly need to venture into the well equipped kitchen - apart from fetching the cork screw of course. Whilst day activities in the vicinity are available for all tastes. We particularly enjoyed Harry Potter studios, a 30min drive away, the castle itself of course and just pottering about the twin towns of Eton and Windsor and enjoying the atmosphere. A fantastic location for a week's break away (whilst not being too far from anything).

Summary: Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay at Raft's Cottage over Christmas 2019. The location is absolutely beautiful right on the river with views of Windsor Castle. My morning stretches on the riverside deck may have scared the tourists on Eton bridge but were a perfect start to the day. Every step along the way, from original booking to check-in and departure were impeccably handled. The house is full of character with updated kitchen, relaxing living room and comfortable bedrooms, 2 of which have river/castle views. Special items - the owners were kind enough to leave a Christmas tree and some chocolate decorations for our kids to hang, and a chilled bottle of champagne for us to celebrate. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. This is a truly special property - we hope to return.Thank you !!

Summary: What a dear, dear place. This house is in the perfect location to explore Windsor & Eton. It has gorgeous views of the Themes, Windsor Castle & the swans. It is within walking distance of everything, Windsor Castle, great restaurants, shopping, the Long WALk, Eton College... And Christine & Jason are fabulous hosts. They take their time to make sure you are comfortable with the house. The house is warm & inviting and the patio is fabulous. We would definitely go back.

Summary: We had the most marvellous, memorable time in your beautiful home & amazing position, in Eton. Your home had everything we could ask for & I’m just sorry you are so far away for us to ever repeat our great holiday. We didn’t have the best weather but that didn’t deter us from getting out & about. We would highly recommend Rafts Cottage to anyone! Thank you so much for enabling us to have such beautiful memories!! Barbara& Peter McCann

Summary: The cottage was absolutely beautiful and Christine and Jason were excellent hosts. My two daughters and I stayed there for six nights and just loved every minute of it. The cottage was fully equipped with every thing you could possibly need. The bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful as well . The location is perfect!
stan m. Aug 18, 2019 05:03:56 AM
Summary: We experienced a good stay. The location is outstanding; many good restaurants nearby. Our only issue worth mentioning was the large collection of spider webs and goose feathers on the deck and deck furniture, surely not the fault of the owners, but a chore for us. The children loved the place!
Gabrielle A. Aug 17, 2019 12:12:26 AM
Summary: As usual we had the best stay at the cottage. the three children and I feel very at home here, and look forward to our holiday every summer! Thank you!
