What our customers say about their holidays

• Susan - Verified booking

  This cottage is ideally suited near to Upton on Severn, easy short walk into town.

  The cottage is advertised as three double rooms ie maximum for six people, however we felt the cottage was more suited to a couple or a family of four. This is due to the bathroom facilities which are old and desperately need modernisation. The cottage is well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery. There is adequate cooking utensils. The cottage would be improved by having a washing machine which incorporated a drier, this would free up the tumble dryer to instal a dish washer - who wants to wash up on holiday! The downstairs is comfortable and cosy but very dark, better lighting or more lamps would be great - difficult to read at night! The fact that there were no instructions on how to use any of the equipment ie microwave, hot water, where the bins were, and what to do with linen etc on leaving the property was very remiss and needs rectifying asap. There was no information on nearest A&E, doctors dentists etc also remiss. A visitors book where guests can write recommendations on pubs, restaurants and places to visit is always helpful and welcome when visiting somewhere new. The cottage could do with improvements in a few areas to greatly enhance a stay. We did have a problem during our stay concerning the bathroom which was addressed quickly.

  There were a few issues with the property.

  The living area and dining area were very comfortable and we enjoyed the river views. The house was very warm. - the stairs are very steep and unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. -There is no welcome pack, not even a pint of milk. -There are no toiletries whatsoever - there are no bedside tables so everything must be put on the floor -there is no dressing table -strange silver mini sofa in bedroom where there could be a dressing table. - extremely poor shower performance - soiled oven gloves - dirty stained sponge in bathroom, presumably to clean the bath? - silicone around shower is stained and tatty - used sponge for washing up in kitchen - no coffee table or side tables - chipped paint on 'silver' painted plastic mirror in bathroom - sticky stain under kitchen bin - dust around bath - mattresses are very hard It generally looked a little tatty and tired and could definitely do with some tidying up and a thorough clean. I don't like saying these things but we were disappointed. the photos on your site show a nest of tables and a fire in the living room but neither of these items exist.

  We did not stay.

  It was very disappointing to find: 1. Upon arrival that dogs were not allowed upstairs. Our dog doesn't go upstairs at home, but on vacation it is nice to put her bed on the landing at least for the first night. I cannot find where this restriction is specified in advance. Not a show stopper but.... 2. Significant and noisy internal renovation ongoing in the adjoining property. This was ironic as our requirement to book was to vacate our house during building works that have been delayed. Other properties we have looked at in the UK warn of works on an adjacent property and some offer reductions with this being advised. We live locally, and as there was no cancellation refund available, we tried to enjoy the property and location during the day, but the noise made this impossible. Terrible!

  Super homely accommodation, friendly and attentive owner living next door, nothing was too much trouble, good value for money Cottage located on the main high street of Upton upon Severn but did not detract from our stay with access to all the town’s amenities & walks along the River Severn Rather than use the local car park (12 hour no return in 24hours restriction) we decided to park our vehicles on School Lane and walked the short distance back to our cottage through the local alley ways Excellently priced eateries, good value Fish & Chips, THRISHNA Indian Restaurant (just across the road), The White Lion Hotel & Ye Olde Anchor Public House to name a few
