Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
22 of us stayed here this weekend, it’s an amazing house, big but still homely. It was brilliant to be able to sit us all around the table for meals. This kids loved the pool and we loved the outdoor spaces and games room. Cazz was an amazing host, so helpful and accommodating. Lovely to be so close to the river. It was lovely to touch to leave welcome champagne, chocolates and balloons to celebrate my birthday. I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful house to anyone looking for a large venue. Would love to go back!

Wonderful house for a family reunion
This spacious, warm and comfortable character property was the ideal place for our international family to get together and celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. The spacious living room and separate sitting room meant that we could all be together when we wanted, or split up into smaller groups.The huge dining room with its lovely, large, square table was ideal for our group of 20 to share meals together.
The indoor swimming pool was larger than we expected (10m x 4m at a guess) and great for early morning swims, or energetic water volleyball matches.
The children and teenagers loved sharing the massive dormitory and talking late into the night, and the games room with a quality pool table and air hockey game.
The owner was the perfect host and made sure that the house was lovely and warm for our arrival and also organised a delicious pavlova as a birthday cake for my mother. After the rental she was also prompt in returning us 100% of our deposit, once she had checked that there were no damages.
In short, a wonderful property and a wonderful rental experience. -
Fantastic venue
We booked River Severn Mansion for a family reunion in November for 16 adults and 10 kids under 10 years of age!! The house has a beautiful location on the river and when the weather wasn't great the kids loved playing in the fab pool. The owner was incredibly helpful and i'd highly recommend this venue.

Favourite rental!
Stayed for the second time and didn’t disappoint….. we had 20 people with room for more…..kids loved the pool, teens the SkySports and the adults the riverside setting which is gorgeous, there’s even a friendly butcher next door who provided a fantastic barbeque for us……my family’s favourite rental from the 20+ that we stayed at over the last few years for holiday weekends…..

Would recommend!
We hired this house for a family get together 18 of us in total. Everyone enjoyed the indoor pool,cinema room and games area. River Severn Mansion has a fantastic location with private access to the River Severn from the garden. Interior decor is very tasteful and quality furniture completes the whole package. We were also fortunate to experience very sunny weather so were able to make good use of the ample outside patio and garden areas.
Would recommend this house to anyone.

Outstanding!
I booked the house for my best friend’s stag do and it was absolutely amazing! The house itself is outstanding, and it’s location is stunning - we spent hours by the river and the fire pit late on our last night, and it was just so wonderful.
The facilities are amazing, with plenty of space for large groups, a dining room suitable for 20+ diners and a fantastic indoor pool! The new cinema room was great to sit and watch a few choice vids, the game room got plenty of action from our pool players, and everyone commented that it was the nicest venue they’ve been to for a stag do.
Perfect venue for large groups, so get booking your parties here people!
