To reach the holiday properties, guests will need to pass through the village of Frampton-on Severn, which is home to the longest village green in England offering two pubs, a village shop, a café and canal side walks as well as annual events such as Frampton Feast and Giffords Circus (both in August), and Frampton Country Fair (September). Further along the canal bank in the village of Saul, guests will find a café which offers a wonderful spot for tea and cake whilst watching the boats go by. Saul also has a marina.
