“It is a great cottage and any problems were solved really quickly.”

A washing machine would have been handy but there is a super laundrette in Stourport called Mr clean calls for reference for future guests. It was disappointing that there was no welcome pack at all ,even no soap washing up liquid, literally nothing, so we had to go straight out and equip the cottage before we could settle in.

Anwen October 2024

“Lovely, peaceful location, on water's edge.”

Very well equipped kitchen and very clean (you'll need to bring cleaning products though)

- Anwen, October 2024
Sheila July 2024

“Peaceful, "on the river" location, secure garden for the dog, easy parking for 3 cars.”

Comfortable, well equipped accommodation. No basic kitchen / bathroom cleaning supplies were provided, & no milk /welcome pack, so fortunate that Stourport supermarkets were only a 15 min drive away. Nearby riverside footpaths are not maintained, so had to go further afield to walk the dog.

- Sheila, July 2024
Kim June 2024

“Lovely accommodation which was very spacious and well equipped.”

The cottage is in an idyllic position with a pub just a short walk away and the river at the end of the garden. Would certainly recommend Rosewaters cottage to others.

- Kim, June 2024
Lynne July 2023

“Superb property in a a quiet peaceful setting .”

Riverside location if its peace and quiet your after choose this property . We stayed a week and was lovely. The help of the lovely neighbours upstairs was very much appreciated _ a big thank you to Graham and Jackie

- Lynne, July 2023
Lindsey July 2023

“The house was very large and plenty of room.”

The people upstairs are very helpful. We had no instructions re-rubbish collection,so would be helpful in future to let people know the day. The house was well furnished, kitchen well stocked. The area is lovely-and made a perfect base for us

- Lindsey, July 2023

Antony April 2023

“The property is generally nice but needs another bathroom with walk in shower if you were to sleep 7 and would suggest it is more like a ground floor apartment being rented out under a family home with footstep noise especially early in the morning ,also the view of the river and light into the rooms is partly blocked due to the large built balcony and stairs leading down to the garden which is also being used under for storage.”

We have visited a number of sykes COTTAGES but this from the discription disappointed sorry to say.

- Antony, April 2023

Cottage very well presented, perfect location river view fantastic, very nice caretaker,who is on hand but not intrusive,a bit difficult to find at first very pleasant surroundings well kept on the hole would recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay thank you

- Roy, April 2023
Matthew February 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay at Rosewater Cottage.”

The property was clean, well maintained and had a lovely outlook on the river. The only negative for us would be the double mattress was not particularly comfortable and the vacuum cleaners did not work well at all which meant we could not leave the place as clean as we would have wished.

- Matthew, February 2023
Lilly September 2022

“We were early arriving and the accommodation was still being cleaned!”

We were allowed in early once the cleaning had been finished. The accommodation was really clean and everything you could need.The caretakers were very welcoming and friendly. There are lots of lovely walks near by. We would go back

- Lilly, September 2022
Roger September 2022

“Property was good but being elderly it was not suitable for me as the back garden was too steep to get down to the river.”

- Roger, September 2022
Barbara May 2022

“A lovely cottage in a secluded quiet spot on the side of the river and alongside a small green with a pond.”

The property was exceptionally clean and beds were comfortable. Safe enclosed garden for our grandchildren who enjoyed watching the boats go by. The only down side for us was that the cottage was very secluded, nothing within walking distance ( except the pub) and to fully entertain the children we needed to take the car out every day to find activities/playgrounds. The Severn valley rail journey was well worth it-had a fab day.

- Barbara, May 2022
David George May 2022

“A very large, spacious, and well equipped apartment for a family.”

More suited to shorter stays with a dishwasher rather than a washing machine required for longer stays. Some views of the River Severn, but some inner rooms have no windows. Good tv and Wi-Fi. Safe garden for dogs and outside relaxing and eating. Good parking.Some noise at times from upstairs, but generally a nice holiday in a good location for Worcestershire holidaymakers.

- David George, May 2022
Brian December 2021

“Good location, lots to do with the dog in the vicinity.”

- Brian, December 2021
David September 2021

“We were expecting a single storey cottage but instead we found people living in the floor above which was noisy early in morning.”

The single bedroom was dark and damp as there was no window. The kitchen seating was benches which when you cannot sit without back support this is no good it needs proper chairs. The television was very confusing as the channels were not in any order this is typical of a toshiba. Location was very good,

- David, September 2021
Keith August 2021

“Fantastic break.”

could have travelled 100's of miles and not had such a good time as we had just an hours drive from home.

- Keith, August 2021
Angela August 2021

“One of our main concerns was that there was no window in the bedroom with two single beds, therefore no air flowing through from anywhere.”

No instructions for anything, quite by chance I found the instructions for the oven in a drawer under some cooking tins. Chipped plates, not important but not good. No washing machine for clothes. Bath was quite high and difficult for one of us to get in and the shower over the bath was a bit feeble.

- Angela, August 2021
Victoria June 2021

“Absolutely beautiful cottage and idyllic location - right on the river.”

The property had everything you could need or want. And Graham the caretaker was so friendly and helpful!! Could not recommend highly enough. Thank you.

- Martin, September 2020
Leanne August 2020

“Having read all the reviews I got the break I was expecting.”

The accommodation is comfortable and clean. Just like other reviews the downside is it is a little dark and only one bathroom. But, it's so peaceful and restful and away from it all. No mobile signal so a complete rest! Sitting in the garden watching the water glisten, birds flying, boats passing was just the tonic after a stressful 5 months. The pub 2 mins walk away is great. Friendly welcome and really good food! Local Londis shop is no more than a few mins by car and was well stocked. We had a great break here.

- Leanne, August 2020
William July 2020

“Lovely holiday cottage, very clean and family upstairs were extremely helpful.”

Great spot for fishing, we caught roach, perch and pike. Pub less than 5 minutes up the road, staff were really friendly and food fantastic!!! Only improvement could be a new mattress in the room overlooking the garden.

- William, July 2020
Susan October 2019

“Had a really relaxing time which was just what we needed.”

The place was lovely, very clean and everything available Would certainly go back again

- Susan, October 2019
Jason June 2019

“The cottage is in need of a few very basic repairs to have made it a fantastic stay.”

Lacking a secure fishing tackle store also. The location was perfect for an angler looking to have all the fun of the river Severn. Great facilities in the cottage and a very nice quiet village location.

- Jason, June 2019
Paul June 2019

“Absolutely a gorgeous place to stay nice and quite, over looking the river Severn spotlessly clean, and key hand over the simplest ever, ideal spot for visiting the local area.”

Rosewater's Cottage was the ideal size, we stated out as a party of five then ended up as two due to work commitments. In the local area the nearest pub is the Hampstall Inn, up the "Ramp" turn right and walk for three minutes, the inn overlooks the river and the food is fine Tuesdays and Thursdays steak night try it. Will we visit again most certainly with no hesitation.

- Paul, June 2019
Paul November 2018

“We had a great week at this spacious, well looked after and well equipped property.”

Beautiful outlook over the river. Lots of different birds seen. Fishing better than expected for the time of year. We will return in the future.

- Paul, November 2018
Katie October 2018

“The cottage was beautifully decorated & furnished & immaculately clean.”

There were a few minor problems during our stay but these were promptly fixed by Syke’s & the caretaker of the cottage. The one let down was the bed mattress, which we think does need replacing as it was very uncomfortable. Be aware the speed bumps on the cul-de-sac are very high!

- Katie, October 2018
Christine August 2018

“Firstly we would like to say a huge thank you to Jackie and Graham for their friendliness during our stay.”

Could not fault the property which was spotlessly clean, and very roomy, also it had everything you needed to make your stay pleasurable. The location was exactly what we were looking for, perfect for fishing and sight seeing. Would highly recommend it, and we will definitely be back.

- Christine, August 2018
L July 2018

“We had a very enjoyable holiday the owners were very pleasant and the cottage was very spacious and well equipped.”

The only problem was 1 bathroom but we managed.

- L, July 2018
B July 2018

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week, it met all our expectations.”

Garden was brilliant for the dog. Everything was immaculately clean. Very relaxing down by the water, would highly recommend the holiday let, which was very spacious, mind you there was only the two of us plus the dog, but still think it would be big enough to sleep seven. Graham and Jacqueline the caretakers were extremely helpful.

- B, July 2018
Frank June 2018

“Clean and a very helpful owner will definitely stay there again.”

Very peaceful location on the river

- Frank, June 2018
Carol June 2018

“Accommodation was spacious and clean.”

However, because the cottage was beneath another property it was quite dark inside. The barbecue was rusty and unusable. Also the pub advertised within walking distance is closed at the moment.

- Carol, June 2018
Karen May 2018

“The Cottage is in a quiet spot over looking the river.”

We were able to spend time watching the birds and boats. The children made friends with the dog upstairs as well as the next door children and another dog in the close. The cottage is well equipped, with plenty of crockery, cutlery and saucepans, which makes a nice change. Although it was good to have a dishwasher a washing machine would have been more useful. We only stayed a few nights but the children still managed to get filthy! There are a few little things that could be sorted quickly, mainly the lighting. The cooker hob only had one light working with none under the cupboards. The cottage is very spacious, however if another bathroom could be fitted it would be even better. My parents joined us and although it wasn't a problem waiting for the bathroom four adults, one of whom is disabled plus a teenager and ten year old did mean it took a while to get out in the mornings! Thank you for the use of a lovely property in a very quiet relaxing spot.

- Karen, May 2018
Dawn April 2018

“We were very disappointed, felt like we were staying in someone’s basement, not a cottage.”

Windows in main living area were below upstairs decking so felt very dark. Could hear people walking about above and a very lively washing machine! Very difficult to get a consistent heating temperature. Some doors didn’t shut properly, eg, kitchen and bedroom doors. Lots of lights didn’t work. Even though towels were included there were only 3 bath towels and 3 hand towels despite it being 7 berth accommodation which were old and different shades of brown. We had to buy more towels. Smelled damp, all our clothes needed washing once home to get rid of the smell. However, it was spacious and lovely and clean, WiFi was excellent which was a lifesaver as none of us had a mobile phone signal. The television was nice and big so we could all spread out and relax. Furniture was nice. The pub & restaurant described as two minutes walk away, was indeed a short walk but when we got there it had closed down and was falling apart. We were looking forward to returning to the Cotswolds as we had been last year. This was not the Cotswolds! Had to travel 45 minutes to get to the pretty places. Stourport on Severn was not a very appealing place, most of the amusements were closed despite it being the school holidays.

John October 2016

“The accommodation was a lot more spacious than it appears on the website.”

Very comfortable. Maybe the radiator needs looking at in the living room, did not seem to get as hot as the rest in the house, could be a problem in very cold weather.

- John, October 2016
Carol September 2016

“Very nice and quite place.”

Five adults who all slept well. Very good facilities. We did have a small problem with the gas but Mr Edwards came As he could(about 10 mins) sorted it and very helpful. The doors are nice and wide so mum could get her wheelchair around the rooms. All very good and clean.

- Carol, September 2016
Denise May 2016

It was very spacious and clean.

- Denise, May 2016
Nikki January 2015

“It was a great cottage by the river, it was very peaceful.”

The cottage was warm and cosy with everything that you would need, it was like being at a home from home. The owner was very helpful and could not do enough to make sure that my stay was perfect. I would certainly recommend staying at this cottage.

- Nikki, January 2015
Peter September 2014

“Had a fantastic holiday .”

We went to fish mainly and it never let us down with barbel & bream. Also found the owner a very helpful and friendly man

- Peter, September 2014
Hazel September 2014

“The location was great.”

The garden was lovely and we were very lucky with the weather so were able to spend a lot of time outside relaxing and fishing.

- Hazel, September 2014
Sue August 2014

“Rosewaters Cottage was our ideal holiday home and the location was great for all the places we intended to visit.”

The fishing at the bottom of the garden made a very happy son and grandson and nan, granddad and wife/mum had some riverbank "chillaxing." There were some very nice pubs/restaurants close by so not a lot of cooking went on. All in all we had a lovely holiday which we hope to repeat sometime.

- Sue, August 2014

Mrs Kelsey December 2010

“The premises are very tastefully decorated and fitted out to a high standard.”

The owner was extremely welcoming and accommodating and had even put up a Christmas tree which was highly appreciated by our three children. The weather was unseasonably cold but the place was very warm and cosy which was great because we had just left Australia and 30 degrees! The property is set in a sublime location overlooking the River Severn and is highly recommended.

- Mrs Kelsey, December 2010
Angela November 2010

“The accommodation was superb, very spacious (for 3 couples), and set out just right for relaxing with friends, the location was excellent.”

- Angela, November 2010
