About this property
Offering stunning views over the River Severn, The Tea Gardens is a wonderfully presented, semi-detached cottage resting in the village of Saul, two miles from Frampton on Severn. Well-equipped for a family retreat, this homely abode is an excellent base for breaking away from normal life and exploring the unspoilt countryside of Gloucestershire. Discover the contemporary kitchen, where the designated chef of the group will find all the essentials required to cook a home-cooked meal. Choose to dine at the formal dining table in the living room, or you might fancy heading outdoors for alfresco dining whilst taking in your idyllic surroundings.
Look forward to relaxing in the sitting room, offering a large sofa, two armchairs, a TV and a woodburning stove, so you’ll have no trouble easing into the evening. Choose between the ground floor twin, which can be a super king-size on request, or the two double bedrooms upstairs, both of which benefit from en-suite facilities, and the master enjoys a Juliette balcony overlooking the river. Also on the ground floor is a contemporary shower room with walk-in shower, basin and WC. Step out to the large patio, enjoying a moment or two in the sunshine as the barbecue sizzles in the background, here you can relish in quality family moments with a stunning backdrop of the River Severn.
The tide comes in twice a day, and when the tide is high you will get a first class view of the extraordinary Severn Bore. If you wish to take a night off cooking, just a short walk away is The Ship Inn, a family run village pub set on the canal-side, offering a traditional menu and a superb beer garden. The centre of Frampton-on-Severn is two miles away and the village boasts the longest village green in England, while the surrounding area is real haven for walkers and cyclists, plus there are many opportunities to have a relaxing day spent fishing.
Slimbridge Wetlands is just downstream, a reserve which exists to care for and study ducks and geese from around the world, and the sandbanks opposite are the feeding grounds for many species. Venture a little further afield to the city of Gloucester where you will find a plethora of amenities and attractions; spend an afternoon browsing the city’s superb selection of shops and markets, absorb the history of Gloucester Cathedral or explore the preservation of Gloucestershire’s rich aviation heritage at Jet Age Museum. Get dressed up for race day at Cheltenham Racecourse or Chepstow Racecourse, or if you’re bringing the kids along then Go Ape, Cotswolds Water Park and Bristol Zoo are all great options and easily accessible from the cottage.
The Tea Gardens ticks all the boxes for a refreshing getaway for the whole family.
Resting about 10 miles south of Gloucester on the eastern side of the River Severn, the village of Frampton on Severn offers an idyllic atmosphere.

Mentioned in the Domesday Book and offering stunning architecture spanning from Cruck cottages to Tudor and Georgian houses, the village shows an impressive history. The area around The Green has been established as a Conservation Area, making it a real haven for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
