We and our friends stayed 10 days in the River Cottage as well as in Annie's Cottage. Both houses are so lovely, with many interesting books and an inspiring interior. Our toddlers had fun playing at the small river next to the River Cottage and had a very good time playing with the cats and the dog. Inch Beach was only 10 minutes away by car and is a great spot for familys to hang around. Nick and Anne were so friendly and always open for smalltalk when we met them outside. We can highly recommend both cottages. Annie's Cottage is a bit more modern, the River Cottage is an old farm house. We felt in love with River Cottage, our friends preferred Annie's Cottage. :)
