It was spotlessly clean, very spacious and beautifully furnished with everything that you could possibly need. We also thought Upton was lovely with lots of pubs and places to eat, and perfectly situated for visiting The Cotwolds and Malvern.

Super homely accommodation, friendly and attentive owner living next door, nothing was too much trouble, good value for money Cottage located on the main high street of Upton upon Severn but did not detract from our stay with access to all the townâs amenities & walks along the River Severn Rather than use the local car park (12 hour no return in 24hours restriction) we decided to park our vehicles on School Lane and walked the short distance back to our cottage through the local alley ways Excellently priced eateries, good value Fish & Chips, THRISHNA Indian Restaurant (just across the road), The White Lion Hotel & Ye Olde Anchor Public House to name a few

Clean and tidy. Great location for visiting nearby areas and attractions. Lots of local shops, pubs and places to eat within walking distance along the high street. We would stay here again if visiting this and surrounding areas.
