Riverdale is a highly praised holiday cottage in Shrewsbury, celebrated for its comfortable furnishings, stunning riverside location, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests consistently commend the property's cleanliness, the convenience of its location, and the thoughtful touches provided by the host, Grace. The spacious outdoor decking area with river views is a highlight, alongside the well-equipped and cosy interior that makes for a relaxing stay.
Guests frequently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. There was a single mention of dust and an unclean oven, but these appear to be isolated incidents in the context of otherwise glowing reports.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful riverside setting and proximity to Shrewsbury town centre, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. The peaceful environment and wildlife add to the charm of the location.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests highlighting the big comfy sofas, spacious rooms, and the overall relaxing feel of the house. The presence of multiple bathrooms and bedrooms adds to the comfort level for larger groups.
The property is well-furnished with high-quality equipment and amenities, including a well-stocked kitchen and entertainment options. Some minor issues were noted, such as Wi-Fi connectivity problems and the state of the bicycles, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
Grace's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome pack and other considerate gestures. While such gifts are warmly received, it is politely noted that they are not guaranteed for every stay.
Riverdale is an exquisite cottage placed idyllically on the banks of the River Severn, just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Shropshire's county town, Shrewsbury. Benefiting from high-quality fittings, two en-suite bedrooms and much to see and do in the immediate area, this a sublime holiday home, perfect for a memorable holiday with your loved ones. Enter the property through its bright and spacious hallway which leads you into the kitchen/diner, immaculately finished with stylish fixtures and fittings, a contemporary dining table and views to the river which even make the washing up a delight. The large sitting room rests at the other side of the hallway, offering a cosy and social spot to spend your downtime watching your favourite shows. This property can also accommodate those with limited mobility as the ground floor also plays host to a stunning super king-size bedroom, zip/link for flexibility and benefiting from a spectacularly unique en-suite. Take the elegant spiral staircase up to the first floor under the eaves, the large landing houses a double sofa bed for any extra guests wishing to stay. Up here you will also find two further tastefully decorated bedrooms, one en-suite, as well as a glistening family bathroom. Appreciate your setting in the right way by taking a seat on your private decking and simply admiring the picturesque views, a river on which you can fish if you own a rod license. Shrewsbury, a market town brimming with character, is a fabulous base for your Shropshire break as it showcases some incredible buildings including the abbey and castle, as well as a multitude of high-quality amenities. Nearby you can venture into the breath-taking Shropshire Hills AONB, or discover some fascinating history in Ironbridge 15 miles east. A wonderful cottage in a lovely location.

The location is ideal only a few minutes out of Shrewsbury by car , shops within walking distance , The Abbey pub and restaurant is ideal if you want something to eat that is close to the cottage , although we do like The Mill in Ironnbridge the food their is excellent. The cottage is so comfortable with all that is needed to have a wonderful stay , the bed my partner and myself slept in on the ground floor was exceptionally comfortable which for me was important as I have an arthritic spine . Everything you would need in the kitchen , very well stocked itâs home from home . The deck at the back of the cottage is a fantastic place to see the local squirrels playing around , I managed to get some wonderful videos of them eating from the feeder that Grace the owner of the cottage who lives next door, put a feeder out to attract the squirrels they really were a delight to watch , she is a very nice Lady and very helpful , helped us when the tv played up , of course we were spoiled for choice having sky , Netflix , wonderful to come back after a day out to watch our favourite movies , it was a wonderful week and I canât wait to go back , I would fully recommend this property , the downstairs toilet and shower is quirky but if you can cope with that you will have a great holiday .
