Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously highlight the cottage's exceptional cleanliness, often using terms like 'spotless' and 'immaculate'. This consistent praise across multiple reviews strongly indicates a very high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded due to its proximity to the river Severn, the Quarry park, and the town centre, with easy access to local amenities and scenic walks. The central yet peaceful setting is a recurring theme in guest feedback.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the cottage, including the quality of the beds and the overall cosiness of the living spaces. The presence of two bathrooms and a secure garden adds to the comfort level, although there is a minor note regarding low-hanging light fixtures.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped and well-maintained, with a well-fitted kitchen and comfortable furnishings. Some guests noted the absence of a CD and DVD player, and a couple of specific kitchen utensils, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.
While the reviews reflect positively on the owners' helpfulness and the property's amenities, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Standards of cleanliness are very high and it is very well equipped with all necessary items. The beds are comfortable with good quality linen; sofas etc comfortable too. It was easy to walk into town and enjoy the Quarry. Stairs are quite steep. Parking is fine although perhaps more suited to a smaller car. Overall, a very pleasant place to stay.

This is a lovely, comfortable and very well equipped cottage in a great location - easy walk into the town through the park or along the river. Very friendly and helpful owners. We loved our stay at Severn Way while seeing relatives and will definitely be back. Many thanks.

Spotlessly clean, nicely decorated with everything you need here. Large well fitted kitchen and comfy bedrooms and lounge. 2 mins walk to the river and 5-10 minutes into town. Swimming pool and park just across the foot bridge with various pubs and restaurants a short walk away. Parking space is a bonus although maybe a little tight for larger cars but very handy. Some building work going on next door but didnât cause us any inconvenience. Happy to recommend and would definitely like to go back. Thank you for lovely stay.
