Riverside House is lovely and is in a great location. Peaceful and a great view of the River Avon. I was fascinated by the flags that are all around Bidford on Avon. I counted at least 28 and there were more. They represent the shops, the local football team, the Duck Race and many other things. We did a Treasure Trail around Alcester and Bidford on Avon. Great fun. You get to find out the history of the places. We hired a boat for a day from the boatyard next door and floated down to Evesham and back. Very relaxing. The Co-op is very handy and we would recommend The Bridge Restaurant which is less than 10 mins walk from the house. We ate there 3 times. Warwick Castle was worth a visit too.

If you are looking for a peaceful family holiday then Riverside House is an excellent choice. We were a family of 6 and the house, surrounded by a lovely spacious garden overlooking the river and open spaces provided us with ample space for all of us. Amenities are very close to the house and there is easy parking provided. We will certainly retain many lovely memories of our stay.

We were very much looking forward to our visit to the Cotswolds, the theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding area. But arriving in Riverside House soon taught us that the best place to be was to stay at home, watch the River Avon roll by, cook together, go on walks together - relax as much as possible. This is the house we have been looking for all those years and we will be back. FOR SURE.
