Simple, everyday treats

The Cottage is situated at the top of Freshford Lane, a village road leading to the local Village Shop & Café. It is a community shop - built, owned and run by the people of Freshford and Limpley Stoke. 

You will find all of the affordable basics and a few treats including local produce, whole foods, organic foods, fair trade products,  fruit and veg, milk, cream and yoghurt, local and vintage wine and beer, store-baked bread and croissants, freshly prepared coffee and home-made cakes, fresh hand-made brunches and lunches, newspapers, local books and gifts. On Fridays there are artisan oven-baked pizzas available, cooked to order and only two minutes from your front door.

With a very short walk through the village, The Inn at Freshford is a beautiful 16th Century village Inn located on the banks of the River Frome. Further along the river is the Cross Guns pub at Avoncliffe in one direction or Iford Manor and Kitchen in the other direction, also home to the beautiful Peto Gardens.

Just a short wander from White Hart Cottage, the award‑winning Hop Pole pub is everything you hope for in a countryside pub: welcoming, beautifully run, and full of character set in the heart of Limpley Stoke. The Hop Pole champions seasonal, locally sourced food, with menus that change to reflect the best of Somerset produce. Expect generous plates, thoughtful cooking, and a kitchen that takes pride in flavour. Their Sunday roasts are a particular highlight, drawing visitors from across the valley.

The surrounding countryside is part of The Cotswolds Area Of Outstanding Beauty and is favoured by many cyclists, joggers and walkers - the pick of the trails being the  Two Valleys Walk.
