Secret Severn Reviews

Gila
A real find!
Zoe
Lovely cottage, great location to get to lots of things within easy distance. Nice pubs locally and farm shop, petrol station with essentials to grab in the local area. Privacy and silence a big plus for me and looking over to the river and farmland. Also great for our pooch to run around safely in the garden.
Amandeep
Amazing property, gorgeous decor and kids loved the hot tub. So serene and was a home away from home. Don't take anything with you, there's plenty of cleaning supplies, laundry cleaner and even mini toiletries.
Farah

We had a great stay at the Secret Severn, it was perfect for us. Its clean, very well equipped and has lovely views onto the Severn. Most importantly for us it has a good sized garden space which is fully secure so our dog could run around without running off! The patio and garden area is also very private, a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine an d relax.
