“This was our third stay and that says it at.”

Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely gardens. Plus the added bonus of fishing for the elusive barbel on site. A secure lockable tackle store with bait fridge. We love visiting here as does our little dog. Nice owners on site. A few things that might be of interest if you are thinking of booking. Very minor but they might be important but didn't pose any problems to us. Internet access is patchy. Most of the time it was ok but the signal sometimes dipped to zero but it didn't ...

We love visiting here as does our little dog. Nice owners on site. A few things that might be of interest if you are thinking of booking. Very minor but they might be important but didn't pose any problems to us. Internet access is patchy. Most of the time it was ok but the signal sometimes dipped to zero but it didn't bother us. The property has a lot of steps down to it.If you have limited mobility you would possibly struggle. If you are tall, I'm 6'3", there are some low beams. Due to being in a valley and surrounded by trees the phone signal is very variable. But I personally loved this- no one disturbed me!! All in all a lovely place to stay and chill out. Plus there's a pub selling great beer a 2 minute stroll away! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage. We love it!

“My favourite place for a UK river fishing holiday, been there 3 times now.”

We just enjoy the peace & quite late at night when we fish out on the deck. Lovely hosts, great accommodation & location. My only gripe is that it's very popular & hard to get a booking during the start of the fishing season & autumn but we'll persist & definitely be back ASAP :)

Patricia June 2025

“A little gem right on the banks of the River Severn.”

Stunning gardens, beautifully looked after by the owners….who couldn’t have been better neighbours, never obtrusive but on hand if we needed anything. Dave even gave us a trip down the river on his boat! Happily recommend

“From start to finish our week at Severn Bank Lodge was brilliant, great communication from Wendy and a lovely warm welcome when we arrived and always happy to help with anything.”

The lodge itself has absolutely everything you need and was amazing and all the extras found in the lodge made it a home from home, especially the chocolate cake!! couldn't ask for more, would we return again.....already booked, thanks Wendy and David looking forward to seeing you both next year

“What a little Gem A bit off the beaten track but what a property this is !”

Spectacular garden with the river Severn in your garden Lovely welcome pack if the basics was a nice surprise Phone signal is a bit iffy but WiFi is readily accessible Will definitely return with such lovely hosts we would be mad not to.

- Steven, April 2024

Thank you Steven for your lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you all. Dave and I look forward to seeing you and Mandy again in the future for a relaxing holiday next time. Property Owner
David & Jackie December 2023

“We had a lovely stay at Severn Bank Lodge.”

Our family consisted of 3 adults and 1 dog and it was the perfect base for our visit to see family and friends. From the start we were met by Wendy who had put the heating and the fire in for us to give us a lovely warm welcome as we arrived in sub zero temperatures ! The beds are lovely and comfy and the kitchen is well stocked with all the equipment you would need if you wanted to self cater, even a slow cooker ! TV had all the usual streaming services and Wi-Fi in the property is good. The owners are on hand for any issues and help, they went to the next level helping us with our dog

- David & Jackie, December 2023
John November 2023

“This is an amazing comfortable self catering Very friendly and helpful couple.”

Pub is only 500yards walk away. If your over 5ft 8 there are 2 low beams. I'll be back again A great little gem

- John, November 2023

Thank you John for your great review. It was pleasure meeting you, Dave and I look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

“Beautiful garden.”

Lovely owners. Perfect for fishing. Lovely area.

- Graham, August 2023
Vincent June 2023

“Visited before in 2016 & couldn't wait to get back here.”

Our hosts are friendly helpful & welcoming. The accommodation totally meets our requirements & is well equipped for self catering. The gardens are immaculate & we ate out side most of the time with the beautiful views of river. Perfect place for fishing, totally private with a large pontoon to fish from. We'll be back as soon as I can fit in a suitable date.

- Vincent, June 2023
Rachel April 2023

“Stunning garden overlooking the river and lovely visits from the local ducks!”

Owners were very kind and helpful. Downside was that my husband did bang his head a lot on the low beams so not so great for tall people but overall, we had a fabulous stay - thanks so much

- Rachel, April 2023
Tina April 2023

“What a perfect place to stay!”

. Both cottage and location are ideal to relax and unwind. Lovely welcome from Wendy and David. Very friendly and helpful owners. Hampstall Inn was also great for food and meeting the locals. We can see why it is booked up! Hope to return as soon as possible.

- Tina, April 2023
Margaret November 2022

“Severn Bank Lodge is in a fantastic location on the bank of the river Severn and has a lovely enclosed garden with a summer house.”

The cottage was very clean and well looked after. However, the property has 2 very low beams - one in the kitchen and one in the lounge. My partner and I hit our heads so many times on the beams that I couldn't recommend staying here for anyone taller than about 5ft 6".

- Margaret, November 2022
Carole November 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed this property for its comfort and location .”

It was so quiet that our dog didn't bark all week! The kitchen was very well equipped, it was great to have a smart TV with Amazon and Netflix as the weather was poor. Single beds were very comfortable and being ultra dark was a bonus. Very warm and cozy with lots of hot water. Lovely private well maintained garden and brilliant fishing spot. Good secure outside tackle storage and fridge. So nice we have booked it again. One tiny point is that if you have bad knees you might struggle to use the stairs down to the property. .

- Carole, November 2022
Neil November 2022

“Beautiful cottage .”

- Neil, November 2022
John August 2022

“What a lovely holiday home in a lovely location.”

David and Wendy brilliant hosts. David not only took us into Bewdley he also took us for an hour long trip along the river in his boat. We are 75 and 79 and found everything was easy and the tackle room and fridge excellent. Just a pity it is so popular as it is booked up when we can next go!

- John, August 2022
Bernadette August 2022

“The hosts Wendy and David welcomed us early on a very hot Saturday and could not do more to to make us comfortable.”

the let and gardens were pristine. would have booked for next year but already full which speaks volumes for this lovely couple

- Bernadette, August 2022
Richard August 2022

“David and Wendy were the perfect hosts.”

We were welcomed with a full tour of the property and we found milk,wine,a lovely cake and a big bag of haribo’s for our 11yr old grandson who came on holiday with us. I happened to mention about fishing on the river in a post holiday telephone call and when we arrived there were 2 rods and a tub of maggots waiting for us. On the last evening we were invited out onto the river in their boat where our Grandson took the tiller for an hour. All in all a wonderful holiday in a wonderful location. Thank you both(David & Wendy) for those little extras’s which you didn’t have to do but in doing so made everything simply perfect

- Richard, August 2022
David George June 2022

“Dave and Wendy were great owners, looking after us,and the lodge, very nicely.”

Great position at the side of the river Severn, and the recently reopened Hampstall Inn was good for food and drink. A nice place for a couple to explore the local area.

- David George, June 2022
Claire May 2022

“Had a wonderful stay.”

Alan May 2022

“Charming property in an idyllic location.”

Excellent walking for the dog directly from the property. Wendy and Dave are excellent hosts.

- Alan, May 2022
David George May 2022

“We were between house moves, so a longer stay.”

Wendy and Dave were supportive, but not intrusive.All facilities clean and as described enabling us to be self sufficient for our stay.Plenty of local dog walks, the local pub restaurant now reopened, a shop at Astley, and all facilities at nearby Stourport. We are returning in a couple of weeks as, unsurprisingly, the lodge has returning clients.

- David George, May 2022
David George April 2022

“Awaiting completion of our new house, this was one of a number of cottages for the interim.”

A superb location directly overlooking the River Severn.Completely self contained, Wendy and Dave were very supportive, but never intrusive. Very well equipped, and with its own garden area for the dog and us.Near to a range of good dog walks and a local pub, with Stourport just a few miles away. Good Wi-Fi, but no mobile phone signal in the property. We would have been delighted to have block booked this for our entire stay, but, unsurprisingly, repeat bookings were in place for regulars.A home within a home. We are to return soon for our next stay, but were very lucky to spot this property.

- David George, April 2022
David April 2022

“Lovely property set in an alongside the river, We stayed with our dogs, and each morning went off on walks down the river, and across the fields Great hosts, and would highly recommend.”

Michael August 2021

“We enjoyed our stay at this clean and cosy cottage with a great location by the river.”

We were warmly welcomed by the owners who kindly left us milk, wine and a lovely cake. For those wishing to fish the owners provided use of their workshop which was great for tackle storage and even had a bait fridge. The pub at the end of the road provides excellent food at reasonable prices. For those considering a walk into Stourport it is not a riverside walk one should attempt as the river bank is completely overgrown with vegetation.

- Michael, August 2021
Ian June 2021

“Superb cottage spotlessly clean and well equipped with lovely gardens down to ...”

Superb cottage spotlessly clean and well equipped with lovely gardens down to the river very nice owners who live next door but do not bother you unless you need anything Only slight problem if you are over 5ft 8in you have to be very careful of the low beams

- Ian, June 2021
John December 2020

“Shame its so good.”

we can't find a date for next year.

- John, December 2020
Graham August 2020

“The friendly owners of this property have made every effort to make sure everything is as it needs to be in the current situation.”

Seven Bank Lodge allows you to remain completely on your own without the need to go anywhere else if you don't want to. If you do want to venture out there are plenty of local walks to keep you occupied for a week and when we did them we met very few people. There are a few National Trust properties within a short car drive and all have excellent walking opportunities. You can fish the River Severn from the garden but best done after the locks on The Severn close at 7.00pm.

- Graham, August 2020
Dympna December 2019

“Lovely hosts who provided thoughtful touches and we’re happy to meet our request for some flour.”

The cottage was very cosy, peaceful. And had everything we needled. It’s in a wonderful location- pub is opposite and the locals were very friendly. I would happily recommend Wendy and David’s lodge to anyone.

- Dympna, December 2019
John July 2019

“Severn BankLodge is the perfect hideaway on the banks of the river Severn.”

It is very well equipped and immaculately clean and well cared for. The owners David and Wendy were welcoming and extremely helpful, going well beyond the call of duty. What a lovely couple.. The hidden extra's of beautiful flowers,wine and cake were very much appreciated. The garden was delightful, it was so pleasant to sit and relax in. Unfortunately,because we are both in our mid seventies and not too steady on our feet, the steps down from the garden to the fishing area were very tricky ,especially as there was no hand rail. Other than this the property was PERFECT.

- John, July 2019
Linda June 2019

“Dave and Wendy were very welcoming, the cottage and gardens were beautiful I would highly recommend.”

The river at bottom of garden was lovely and made fishing very accesable.

- Linda, June 2019

“The Cottage in this quiet Village is exquisite.”

Everything as been considered for the comfort and enjoyment of the guests by the Owners David & Wendy. There is fishing right at the end of the lovely garden. Nearby Shrawley Woods is beautiful to enjoy walking the dog. We were so impressed, that we rebooked straight away. We would also like to thank Wendy & David for the lovely welcoming 'treat' on our arrival. Peaceful, cosy, beautiful cottage interior, right by the river, with charming Owners - just sit back and enjoy it ....

“The cottage was very well equipped and had a nice homely feel to it.”

It was so cosy and warm, fantastic to come into when you've been fishing most of the day. There are unspoilt views across the river which you can see from the lounge and main bedroom. The hosts were lovely, they are on hand if you need anything but do not impose on your privacy.
