10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Spent most of our stay in the garden enjoying the river view and watching the boats and generally soaking up the atmosphere
Comfortable accommodation, easy parking and everything we needed provided. Warm welcome from the owner. Village has good pub food at the Bridge plus handy supermarket and petrol station. Ancient bridge and parkland an added bonus as are the cafe and village buildings / architecture. Close to Warwick and Stratford on Avon. Blue Boar Inn in nearby village very good for food.

Had a superb week staying at Riverside House. What a beautiful location on the River Avon.
We were lucky enough to have a full week of sun, which enabled us to make full use of the generously portioned garden, when we weren't out and about exploring the surrounding areas.
So pleasant to sit and watch the boats go by with wonderful views up the river towards the bridge and the church.
Dave was so friendly and helpful.
It was great to hire one of his narrow boats. He came with us to the 1st lock to guide us through the process which was very helpful (and probably essential for us novices)
The property was very comfortable and the main bedroom on the 1st floor has great views over the garden and river. Worth noting that the top bedroom in the roof space has an unusual staircase arrangement leading from the bedroom to the bathroom. Not an issue for us in our late 40s but I wouldn't want my parents using it so they were in the large bedroom on the 1st floor.
Thanks Dave for a wonderful stay.
We would love to come back.

We have just spent a wonderful week at Riverside
The weather was lovely and the location of the house could not be more perfect
We had meals at the local Bridge Restaurant and found them very good
We also had a couple of meals at the Broomhall Restaurant and found again good value and quality
A special mention to the boatman for his help and attention
All in all, a Wonderful week
