Exclusive Riverside Getaway Enjoy ultimate privacy and stunning views at The Riverside Retreat, an exclusive-use haven nestled by the peaceful River Severn. Nature & Stargazing Relax under clear night skies from the hot tub, loungers, or fire pit. The retreat offers uninterrupted views and the calming sound of the river—a perfect spot to reconnect with nature. Comfort & Amenities The retreat features an equipped kitchen and a cozy room with a king-size bed (linen provided). It accommodates up to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children. A single mattress is available for an additional guest; guests are required to bring their own bedding (sheet, duvet or sleeping bag, pillows). Sofa covers must not be removed or used as bedding; a cleaning fee will apply if this occurs. Family-Friendly, Quiet Environment Situated in a peaceful rural hamlet, the retreat welcomes families seeking calm and nature. However, sound carries easily and loud outbursts or tantrums are not appropriate and could jeopardise planning permission. Children should be supervised and kept calm, particularly during early mornings and evenings. Guests uncertain about suitability are encouraged to discuss this prior to booking. Noise & Music Policy To maintain the tranquility of the site, music is prohibited both inside and outside the property. Hot Tub Access Available at no additional charge for stays of two nights or more (please request). For one-night stays, hot tub use may be permitted for an additional charge covering water, filter, heating, chemicals, and cleaning. Exclusive Experience & Booking Policy This retreat is intended as a peaceful haven and is not suitable for parties or loud gatherings. A minimum stay of two nights will be required for all weekend bookings (Friday through Sunday). Exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis. We look forward to welcoming you
Welcome to our slice of paradise! On arrival, guests are warmly welcomed with a brief meet and greet, where we're happy to answer any questions and help you settle in. As long-time locals who’ve lived and farmed here for several generations, we believe this spot is something truly special – like a little piece of the Bahamas tucked into the South West. The grass isn’t greener on the other side... it’s right here.
The neighbourhood is a small, quintessential farming hamlet with charming houses dating back to the 15th century. From the site, you’ll find a number of peaceful walks leading down to the river, along with scenic paths that follow the river’s edge – perfect for exploring the natural beauty right on your doorstep.
