The gardens at Bridge Cottage are a delight. The river boundary at the far end is an idyllic settling for paddling with the family in the warmer months. There is garden furniture available for use in the summer months with the Barbeque. We would politely ask that you clean up after your dog in the garden. Situated in the centre of the village, the local shop and tea rooms is just 200 yards away, and approx 400 yards from the local pub, The Royal Oak Inn, Withypool, noted for good ales whilst serving excellent food in both the bar and restaurant.
Dogs can access the river as there is no fence between the garden and the river.
