Between Streatley and Wallingford at the foothills of the Berkshire Downs lies Moulsford, famous for appearing in the Midsomer Murders TV Series and home to the grade II listed Church of St. John the Baptist.

Our hire location is beautifully set on the stretch of river immortalised in "The Wind in the Willows" and conveniently located at The Beetle & Wedge Boathouse.

Charming Riverside Comfort

Ferrymans Cottage offers a stylish yet homely retreat on the banks of the River Thames, recently renovated to blend traditional character with a touch of quirky charm. Each of the four suites is individually designed, with carefully chosen colours, elegant period furniture, and luxuriously comfortable bedding. Guests can enjoy thoughtful in-room touches, including Nespresso coffee machines, a fridge stocked with soft drinks, and indulgent White Company toiletries. Two ground-floor rooms - the Sapphire and Belle Suites - are dog friendly, making them perfect for guests travelling with four-legged companions, while the first-floor Willow and another suite offer elevated views of the river and gardens.

From the calming ambience of the Sapphire Suite to the elegant Willow Suite with its roll-top bath, every space has been created for comfort and relaxation. The friendly team prides itself on making each stay personal, accommodating special requests and ensuring guests feel at home. Breakfast can be added for a leisurely start to the day, served fresh from The Beetle’s kitchen between 8:30am and 11am. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a riverside break with your dog, or simply to unwind in peaceful surroundings, Ferrymans Cottage offers a welcoming escape with all the little touches that make a stay memorable.
