Outside the cottage you can relax in the front garden which has immediate access to the river and provides garden furniture and plenty of space for family ball games, a picnic lunch or barbecue, plus a rear paved area is also available. The intimate town of Upton-upon-Severn is just a short walk away and has many individual shops, antique centres, tea rooms and traditional pubs serving real ales and locally sourced food.

The town also boasts its very own vineyard, museum, 'The Pudding Shop' and a heritage centre. Within easy reach is Malvern and the dramatic Malvern Hills, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and offers visitors hours of entertainment whether it be walking and cycling in the hills, exploring the town or taking in one of the many shows at the local theatre. Just a short drive away is the Forest of Dean, Gloucester and many Cotswold towns and villages, whilst further afield you can enjoy the towns of Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester and Ledbury for a great day out. This impeccable cottage is an ideal base for a memorable holiday at any time of the year.

The pretty country town of Upton upon Severn lies on the banks of the River Severn and boasts a variety of delightful 17th century buildings and attractive shops, including 'The Pudding Shop', along with traditional inns, cafes, restaurants and its very own museum. It also plays host to many annual festivals, including Jazz, Folk and Blues Festivals, as well as the Sunshine Music Festival. This thriving small town has its own marina, a vineyard and well-stocked farm shop at the local fruit farm, plus the town’s medieval church, which is now a Heritage Centre, is topped by a striking 18th century cupola, known locally as 'The Pepperpot'. Just 6 miles away is the beautiful Worcestershire town of Malvern, and the dramatic Malvern Hills. An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Malvern Hills offer 100 miles of footpaths and bridleways, and form a 9 mile range of ancient rock. The Great Malvern Food Festival in June is well worth a visit, as are the many events at the Three Counties Show Ground and the Malvern Theatre, which welcomes productions from the West End and the Royal Shakespeare Company. There are many National Trust properties, vineyards and gardens in the area, as well as outdoor activities to suit all abilities. The nearby market towns such as Ledbury and Tewkesbury have a wealth of black-and-white houses and inns.
