Dennis

On the plus side this was a nice clean and comfortable property. It has been cleverly designed to modernise an older property that is built back into a sandstone cliff. On the minus side we maybe should have paid more attention to the photographs. The master bedroom is a lovely room but it is on the second floor. The smaller bedroom is on the first floor along with the bathroom. This means if are in the master bedroom and want to visit the bathroom you have to descend the steep stairs. Not ideal for us, a couple in our early eighties.

Andrea

It was great to be back at 5 Riverside, and I'm sure we'll be back again soon. The location overlooking the river is beautiful, and really handy for both Low Town and High Town. Inside, the cottage shows it's history in the gorgeous fireplace and timbers, while the modern kitchen, bathroom and furnishings are all good quality. Many thanks to Heather for her hospitality

A lovely, brilliantly located property a short walk from the town centre. The owners have thought of everything. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bedrooms and living room are really comfortable and the roof terrace is lovely when the weather is nice. The parking is really easy to manage and we didn't have any issues. Highly recommended.

Stuart

We had a wonderful few days in Bridgnorth. The property is in a lovely central location overlooking the river and has outdoor space. The only issue we encountered was that the listing was advertised with parking however, this wasn't the case. Please bear this in mind when booking.

Victoria

We had a fantastic holiday at this cottage! The cottage was clean, well equipped and in an excellent location for exploring Bridgnorth and the surrounding Shropshire area. The owners were really friendly, helpful and easily contactable. We loved eating out in Bridgnorth with a huge choice of restaurants and take aways only a few minutes walk from the cottage. Bridgnorth has choice of well stocked supermarketsmini supermarkets and everyone we encountered were polite and friendly. A very pretty setting with the River Severn on the doorstep. We loved taking the funicular railway from low town up to high town and visiting lots of National Trust places within easy driving distance. We would definitely return and recommend to our friends and family.

Number 5 had everytime we needed,the location was good,the funicular is a 2 minute walk,so reaching high town was accessible for me with a medical condtion. Plenty of lovely shops and places to eat. The only negative for us was a noisey dog next door,but we would stay again

Lovely cottage, nicely equipped in great location.

Jackie

Excellent. Had a lovely week in a very clean comfortable cottage. The stairs were steep but not a problem for us. Would go back again!

Kathryn

We really enjoyed our stay at Riverside, it has a great location next to the Severn and easy walking distances to shops pubs etc. The house is very well presented, clean and comfortable although the stairs are quite steep! The contact with the owners was helpful and friendly. If we were returning to Bridnorth we would definitely stay here again.

Yvonne

We loved the cottage and the location. Comfortable beds and sofas which is very important to us. Very well equipped cottage. The fans were especially useful in the heat wave to enable us to sleep comfortably. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone except those with mobility issues because of the 2 stairs and steps to the patio

This was our 2nd stay a 5 Riverside, just as the first it was very good. We wouldn't hesitate to return. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The owners are quick to respond if necessary..

Gorgeous and very comfortable home. Great location only minutes to town, we will be staying there again.

Adrian

This accommodation was outstanding. The host sent an email before we arrived which was extremely helpful, especially the details of where to park came in handy. It cost approximately 13 for a week Severn Street car park with a short walk over the bridge each day. We loved the facilities, care and attention had been given to make this home exceptionally comfortable. Additionally, the host had left us a basket of goodies and a pint of milk in the fridge. We had everything we needed to make meals, wash clothes, relax and the heat was a welcome feature as the evenings were a little chilly. Having smart TVs in the lounge and bedrooms was great too if you wanted to retire early. We did not use the garden facilities as it rained all week, but we could see there was provision to be able to relax if the weather was nice. Thank you to the hosts for such a lovely place to stay, in such a beautiful part of the UK. There are ample places to go and explore including Powis Castle, Long Mynd at Church Stretton, Ludlow and many National Trust places in and not far from Bridgnorth which is also a lovely town too. We would definitely stay here again, if visiting the area.

Stuart

Excellent place to stay. Very clean and modern furnishings. Property is well placed for Bridgnorth itself and surrounding touring. The hamper on arrival is a very nice touch. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend it. The stairs are steep, but this is mentioned in the description and parking is in a very reasonably priced car park 10 mins walk away again mentioned in the description. These are compromises that we were happy to make for this property and not faults!

Lesley

We had a wonderful week at Riverside the location is in a peaceful area with easy access for both lower and high town. The accommodation is spacious,with fantastic fixtures and fittings. A hamper of treats and milk in the fridge were much appreciated. All in all would definitely recommend

Eileen

A lovely little house, clean and cosy, on the banks of the River Severn. Very central to the town. The owner Heather was very helpful and provided a very nice welcome pack. Can certainly recommend 5 Riverside. Eileen & Jeff

Keeley

This is a lovely cosy house in the centre of Bridgnorth. The house is the cleanest place I've ever stayed and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. It does have very steep steps inside, however it has everything you need. We parked in the train station carpark a few nights as it only cost 4.00 for 24hrs parking and we couldn't park on the roadside by the house. We can't wait to stay here again. Its fab.

This is a beautiful property. Very comfortable, really well designed and with everything you need in a great location! We had a lovely stay and would love to come back some day.

This is a lovely house in good location next to the river in Bridgnorth, easy access to central shops, restaurants etc. Beautifully furnished, very comfortable and well equipped. The owners were very quick to respond and help with a minor issue. There is shortstay parking availability or overnight on the road, but that works fine for arrivaldeparture and a longerstay carpark is a very short walk away across the bridge 13 for a week with charging options useful for any EV owners. A very comfortable & attractive base to explore this area of Shropshire.

We had a lovely stay at Riverside. The house was clean and well equipped. It was a nice surprise to have a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge when we arrived. The views of the river were gorgeous and we were ideally situated for trips to Ironbridge and Much Wenlock. We would definitely recommend this property.

Richard

The house was immaculate and furnished to a very high standard. Location was great and only a short walk to Bridgnorth town centre. We will definitely will returning later in the year and would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Riverside. The cottage was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. The welcome pack was an added bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

We loved our long weekend stay at this property with our two little ones aged 3 and 5. We arrived to the property in the evening and were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper and Halloween treats and decorations for the little ones too, which was a lovely surprise. The cottage has been renovated to a very high standard and was perfect for us. We enjoyed the log burner on the cooler evenings and the location was also perfect. The parking was not an issue at all, we parked behind the Falcon pub and then walked back so only took a few minutes. great location for both the low and high town and plenty of places to see, eat and drink. We tried a couple of the places recommended! We would love to return again to this lovely cottage Thank you both for your hospitality.

Katharine

A really lovely wellmaintained cottage with character. The design and fittings were top class and we liked the dining area with its curved ceiling which we felt referenced the history of cave dwelling in Bridgnorth. Bridgnorth was a delight and very pedestrian friendly.

Such a beautiful cottage in a perfect location. The cottage is absolutely spotless and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The beds are just so comfortable! The welcome hamper is a lovely addition too. Great communication from the owners made for a lovely break. Thank you.

Catherine

Leanne

What a wonderful cottage! Absolutely immaculate. The host was so helpful and sent us an email with all of the information we needed for our stay including details of car parking options. We arrived to a lovely welcome hamper and a card with details of things we may need during our stay including recomended places to eat. The property itself is very well equipped and had all the mod cons for a very comfortable weeks stay. The stairs are quite steep in the house but we managed them and our five year old soon got the hang of them. The views from the bedrooms overlooking the river severn are fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house had a lovely homely feel. It really felt like we were arriving home after a day out exploring. Our daughter loved it so much she cried on our last morning as she didn't want to leave. Thanks for a great stay

Duncan

Lovely place and owners very helpful. Bridgnorth is a great pace with lots of places to eat and drink

Stephanie

Beautiful house with everything you need and more. So much thought has gone into every aspect. The only problem we had was that we wish we stayed there longer! Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

A lovely house overlooking the River Severn, close to the Cliff Railway. Bridgnorth is a hidden gem! The property has been updated to a high standard making it warm and comfortable. The stairs are steep and narrow typical of an older cottage might be tricky for those with mobility issues. Facilities were great with all mod cons.

Lovely house on the river Severn and close to the high town in Bridgnorth. Accommodation was comfortable and furnished to high standard. Hosts were amazing, helpful, friendly and informative. Always responded quickly to any questions. Hamper was also a lovely touch. Would highly recommend

Beautiful well equipped cottage really nice view and garden really appreciated the welcome pack and the contact from the owners highly recommend a stay there and would return.

Hi, Really enjoyed staying here. Great location and great property. Beautifully refurbished house with all modern facilities. The welcome basket was a really nice touch. Would definitely go again

Great location and beautifully presented cottage. A high standard of care and attention at this property. Many personal and thoughtful touches. A lovely, peaceful stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the beautiful and comfortable 5 Riverside. We were able to settle in straightaway as there was a thoughtful welcome pack and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The location was brilliant too it was easy to walk around Bridgnorth from 5 Riverside and discover restaurants, shops and cafes. Bridgnorth is an excellent base for travelling to other pretty villages and National Trust properties. There is plenty to see and do. We had a very relaxing break.

Wallis

Riverside is a beautifully and recently renovated and decorated cottage overlooking the River Severn. Lounge is really cosy and a great place to relax in the evenings. It has all the amenities needed for a long break including a dishwasher and washing machine and even has a fab garden with great views. Location is perfect for both low and high town with everything in walking distance including supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. Access is really easy, especially compared to other properties in the town. Street parking is available for up to one hour and from 6pm to 8am outside the properties on Riverside whilst long term parking is available across the bridge in low town for only 10 for the week. Much appreciated welcome hamper and great comms from the owner. Would highly recommend and we will look to return on our next visit to Bridgnorth.

Sandra

The cottage is a fantastic holiday home,it was spotlessly clean,and very welcoming with the lights left on and very warm. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper very thoughtful. We had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday. Dont be put off by the parking facilitys we just followed the links on the car park machine and bought a weekly ticket for parking..All in all a lovely cottage and area for a lovely relaxing holiday,we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Kirsten

Great cottage on the riverside, handy base both for Bridgnorth and further afield. We had a lovely Christmas stay and the owner was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely location by the river and even though there was no on site parking easy to park in Severn Street Car Park at 10 for the week helped by excellent directions form the owners.

Would have been nice if a permit for parking was included instead of having to worry about parking on return and having enough change even if charged extra.
