About this property

Enjoying an enviable position with overlooking views of the stunning River Severn is The Boat House, offering an idyllic location and an exceptional self-catering experience to the borders of Staffordshire and Shropshire. With its riverside location coupled with an elegant interior design, housing plush fixtures and furnishings, this accommodation is a great find for those who relish the great outdoors to temporarily call home. Step into the open-plan living space, where the picture window floods natural light into the space and affords a constant connection with the river and the countryside beyond. The kitchen area comes well-equipped with all the appliances to cater for yourselves and the dining table offers a social spot for enjoying the company of your loved ones, with striking views of the countryside as your backdrop. Your four-legged friends will even be catered for with an adjustable feeding station, pet bed and microfleece towel to wipe muddy paws! The sumptuous L-shape sofa invites you in to curl up in front of the Smart TV or simply gaze out of the window, where the views continue to captivate. Once the sun has set, sleep is sure to come easy within the master suite, where quality linens paired with a gorgeous pile of pillows are placed upon the four-poster bed, making it feel like you are sleeping on a cloud! Completing the interior is the second bedroom, boasting twin beds and a sleek shower room with quality toiletries and fluffy towels. Included in your rental is the exclusive use of two adult mountain bikes.

You will have exclusive use of a bike shed allowing you to bring other bikes and store them safely. Please note, you will need to bring your own locks for any additional bikes you bring with you, and for health and hygiene reasons, helmets are not provided.

    We borrowed some fresh bedsheets from a nearby friend. Admittedly we did find some additional sheets later but after an 18 flight we were not too sharp. We tried to contact the landlord and sykes continuously about this over our fist weekend but went unheard for 3 days. By way of compensation we were offered a free lunch at the arboretum but it would have cost us £15 to get in. The freezer compartment of the fridge was so iced up it was unusable. oh and there was a mouse. We believe this came in through the window and is not part of the apartment but be aware the window is at floor level on the outside so open with caution. These issues aside the apartment is lovely and the location is superb.

    The welcome pack would have been better if it had included some teabags. There was no shower gel in the shower and the freezer part of the fridge was unusable

  • Georgie

    So much space and beautiful views. It is within perfect walking distance to Arley House and Gardens and so it is great for guests to stay here for a wedding. We will definitely be visiting again and recommending this to place to our friends and family who haven’t been before! Thank you!
