Boasting scenic views over the water, 5 Riverside is a delightful setting for a small group or two couples looking to explore this fabulous part of the West Midlands.

Traverse the nineteenth century funicular railway joining the High and Low Towns of Bridgnorth, divided by the River Severn, traveling up and down the steep sandstone cliff using the Bridgnorth Cliff Railway. History buffs will be delighted by the wealth of heritage to be discovered in the town, exploring the Civil-aged tunnel dug deep into the sandstone at Lavington's Hole, or uncovering the remains of Bridgnorth Castle, founded in 1101 and later demolished upon the orders of Oliver Cromwell.

Simon
Everything was easy to manage. We really appreciated the welcome basket. Perfect location for exploring Bridgnorth. Highly recommend this holiday cottage.
Stuart
Very clean and modern furnishings. Property is well placed for Bridgnorth itself and surrounding touring. The hamper on arrival is a very nice touch. We enjoyed staying here and would recommend it. The stairs are steep, but this is mentioned in the description and parking is in a very reasonably priced car park 10 mins walk away (again mentioned in the description). These are compromises that we were happy to make for this property and not faults!
Eileen
Very central to the town. The owner Heather was very helpful and provided a very nice welcome pack. Can certainly recommend 5 Riverside. Eileen & Jeff
