What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived earlier at the property and knocked at the door.

  As there was no answer we thought the property had been cleaned. We were going to ring the owner immediately and ask as a gesture of goodwill could we put some frozen food in the small icebox as we had been in Ludlow the previous week. We would have left then and returned after the cleaning. The cleaners turned up quite later. We did call the owner on arrival !!! As he wasn't there to see why we had complained, we got the impression he thought we were exaggerating. I did take a photograph. This is the first time we have come across this in all our years of using Sykes Holiday Cottages.The icebox had obviously been left for a couple of weeks and not been defrosted, the door would barely close. it was packed full of ice and blackcurrant spilled in it. The cleaners sorted the icebox and when we got back the fridge was turned off! I'm wondering if it hadn't been brought to the owner's notice, would this had been left again.We then found the kitchen cutlery drawers weren't very clean, the cupboard doors grubby, there was some dirty cutlery. We cleaned them ourselves and cleaned all the cutlery and the dishes. We also wiped the inside of the cupboards. Attention to detail with these cleanliness issues are important. As the owners didn't live nearby it might help if they occasionally came and checked for themselves avoiding negative feedback on important cleanliness issues. The bathroom was cold with one small towel rail. It needs extra heating, particularly in winter. The television kept freezing with a faulty signal. If these issues were addressed then the property would be given more stars. The property was on a very noisy main through road in and out of the town but did not affect our sleep. It eased off in the late evening. There was also a large building site over the road. On the positive side the beds were comfortable and the property was warm. It had a large garden at the back of the property. It was also convenient for a walk into the town. There was a good chip shop a few minutes walk from the property and a nice quiet local pub. If all of these issues were addressed at the property we would return if we were to revisit Bewdley.

  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

  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.

  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

  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.
