Enjoyed a truly lovely stay with Lesley and Jon, they were both so kind and welcoming with their beautiful home, and made me feel so comfortable as soon as I arrived. With parking round the back of the property, it's great for drivers, and the nearest bus stop into the town centre is only a few minutes walk away, so incredibly convenient. The room was wonderful, and the bed was so comfortable I didn't want to get up in the morning. Would not hesitate to stay here again in the future!

I can't even begin to express how perfect staying at Cowley Bridge has been. You feel like you are in a home away from home. You have everything you could need and John and Lesley are the kindest hosts I've ever met! After a long day coming home to such a comfortable house and bed makes the world of difference. I would come back and stay here in a heart beat. There is a bus stop right by the house to get you around, a reliable taxi service or you could walk. I've never been happier with my digs!
