When sleep calls, answer in a super-king-size, king-size, or twin bedroom complete with exposed beams and countryside views of tomorrow’s adventures. Soak up your local surroundings with a visit to the Almonry Museum, catch a show at The Henrician, and top off the day with some pub grub at Broadway.

Venture a little further afield for Stratford-upon-Avon to step into literary history at Shakespeare’s Birthplace, enjoy some fine theatre at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and explore The MAD Museum.

Riverside Manor Reviews

Lovely property and river side garden space. We were allowed to hsve quite a few well behaved dogs stay. A massive thank you to the cleaning team. They turned the place upside down to find a sentimental jewelry item which was lost at the property, they found it and the item was returned to us. The team really went the extra mile, and we can not thank them enough! Would highly recommend a stay here.
Lesley
Fantastic property for a family break with 9 people. Kitchen is extremely well equipped except for a decent cheese grater and the giant kettle was great. Stunning views from the property overlooking the River Avon and fields. Very dog friendly with dog toys, bowls and beds provided although the garden is not fully enclosed. We met the owner who is lovely and sorted out a couple of minor issues quickly. The property is old with uneven floors and the stairs down to the kitchen and garden are challenging for those with mobility issues. Two of our three families struggled with directions to the property initially!
Joleigh
A group of us went for my 40th birthday. Absolutely perfect stay and just what we wanted. Would definitely recommend.
A very large charming property, ideal for a few days chilling and relaxing. We only used 3 of the 5 large bedrooms, but the house would easily fit 10 people with a massive lower floor kitchendiner and access to the outside sitting areas and sloped garden down to the River Avon. The hot tub was clean and had great views across the river. We would visit again.
Vanessa
Amazing. The property is very large and accommodated our family and all our dogs. The bathroom door will not close, but overall, it is lovely.
The property needs a better explanation of the layout we took elderly parents and the stairs down to the kitchen and main area were a nightmare, they had to come down on their bottoms as they were so steep and narrow. The garden was on a steep bank and steep steps to the hot tub, so they couldnt use it, which again needs to be explained. I definitely wouldnt have booked if I had known. The main lounge is a long way from the kitchen, so maybe think of putting a TV downstairs in the main entertaining space. We read the other comments about the smell, which is not pleasant we got in touch with the owner and said it was to do with harvesting, definitely not, it came from the downstairs toilet so probable a septic tank issue !! It definitely needs sorting, its not nice! We also had a problem with the sky tv, the owner didnt know where the modem was, so we couldnt even reboot the box. For a young fit group then the house is great. Good location.
Hosts were incredible, any questions were answered within 5mins and to great help! House was lovely and well stocked for all needs.
Richard
Excellent week in a great location'. Viewed rabbits,deer' geese ,buzzards and many other birds from the window.. . Indoor and out door meals for 9 on the 2 long tables. Temperature control on shower in downstairs far bedroom temperamental but fine for a bath.
Graham
The location is fabulous, right next to the river. The house has so much charm, but short cuts have been taken on repair works and the house has simply not been cleaned thoroughly. Curtains were hanging unattached in parts from curtain rails that simply were not sturdy enough to take the weight. Lovely location but rather disappointingly the property maintenance was a little shoddy
Only a short stay but the property was perfect for our large group celebrating a 60th birthday, dogs included. We loved the space in the kitchendining room, a fabulous social space that we could all fit in comfortably. The property was perfectly clean, something, from experience of holiday properties, you don't always find. Everything we needed was there and ready to use and enjoy. A little issue with the heating but the owner had an engineer out and the problem sorted within half an hour. You can't ask for better service than that. Thank you for letting us stay, we had a fabulous weekend
We had an enjoyable weekend stay for a family birthday celebration. The property has nice rooms, especially the kitchen dining room which was a very pleasant space where we could all get together comfortably. The weather wasn't too kind to us and some rainfall blew in under the front door. The heating worked fine on a cold weekend and we were comfortable day and night.
We stay in a lot of large cottages as a group and we were looking forward to this one. However, it was really disappointing. The main reason was the smell. We thought there was a gas leak at one point so contacted the owners, who were lovely and came really quickly. They said the smell was from the river so not a gas leak. But the rest of the house smelled really badly of drains. The bathroom in our bedroom was unusable it was so strong and I woke up to a horrible smell in the room too. There were also lots of other things that werent great only one stand up shower, no basics such as salt or oil, lots of things missing from the kitchen that made it difficult to cook. I am not fussy and dont ever really leave bad reviews but we were not impressed and wouldnt stay again.
We had a wonderful holiday the house was very spacious, the beds really comfortable the 2 dogs loved the huge garden, and the Jacuzzi was a real treat, fishing at the end of the garden a real treat. Debbie the owner was so helpful as the gas for the BBQ had run out she replaced it straight away a big Thankyou Gill, Dave, Steph and Dave.
The property is in an absolutely beautiful setting. My friends and I booked to stay for my 30th birthday and as we had lovely weather we spent most of the time outside. I feel we may have not enjoyed our stay as much if wed have been inside more. There were a few things that let us down a bit whilst we were there. The floors in a lot of rooms are extremely uneven and there are holes under the carpet in bedrooms, as well as rugs with lifted corners. This made it difficult to walk in the night, I had to be very careful with my footing. The stairs down to the kitchen are quite narrow and steep with a turn, this was ok once wed got used to it but quite tricky to get all our shopping bits down. The kitchen has a lot of what youd need and is set out really well. Unfortunately the dishwasher was not working during our stay. There was also an issue with mold in the ice machine on the fridge which I hope was passed on to the owners quickly. Other than this, everything was spotless on arrival which was great. Many of the bathrooms have beautiful baths, but no plug stoppers. The water temperature is also very difficult to control. The only standing shower in the house does not drain quickly so we had to turn the shower off to let it drain then continue. The outside area is stunning and we loved the long table and chairs. I feel that the swinging chair could be replaced or recovered and it was a shame the hot tub wasnt working as this would have been a fantastic addition! We loved how we could so easily walk between the kitchen and decking so we could dine outside and it was very handy to have a downstairs WC. All the furnishings are lovely throughout and we enjoyed each bedrooms individual style. Overall, its a genuinely beautiful property but it needs some work and maintenance to get it to its full potential. The group I stayed with and I would love to come and stay again in the future if the feedback is taken on board.

The cottage is in a wonderful position in the countryside around Evesham. Its convenient for the town and surrounding attractions too. Inside the facilities are good although I have referred a few issues back to the agency, and hopefully the owner, which do need some attention. The agency are difficult to communicate with in terms of response to contacts. We enjoyed our stay and would return on the basis that the points raised to agents are dealt with.
Jackie
Seven of us stayed at River Manor five adults, two children, and three dogs. We were told we were the first paying guests, which made the stay feel a bit like a trial run. The appliances, furniture, and soft furnishings are of a high standard. I always check the beds first when booking, and I was pleased to find they were very comfortable a good nights sleep is essential on holiday. The layout was a little tricky to understand from the description, but to clarify, the house is spread over three floors. On the main entrance level, theres a living room and a small office with views of the river, the main bedroom with an ensuite shower room, and a small kitchen area equipped with a wine fridge, kettle, and toaster. Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms two of which are ensuite with baths, and one accessed through another room. On the lower floor, there's another bedroom with an ensuite also with a bath, and below that, down a flight of narrow stairs with a sharp turn, youll find the boot room and a spacious openplan living area and kitchendiner. This space opens onto a southfacing patio and garden that leads directly to the rivers edge a real highlight of the property, especially on sunny days. That said, we did experience several teething problems during our stay. The boiler failed, the top half of the fridge wasnt working, and the washing machine flooded the boot room. Some of the windows are quite old, with noticeable gaps that made it chilly at night, and the carpet fitting is quirky though mostly hidden under rugs. We had to adjust the selfclose hinges on the doors, or they may have trapped tiny fingers. Despite these issues, the owner has clearly put thought into what guests might need, and we got the sense shes been let down by tradespeople. Its a real shame the hot tub isnt working yet, as it would be a perfect spot to unwind while taking in the garden and river views. While we werent particularly taken with Evesham itself, there are plenty of great places to visit within an hours drive. Overall, we would return the location and potential are great but the property does need some upgrading to reach its full promise.
