Guests say

Dobbies Den is a cosy and well-presented cottage in Bewdley, appreciated for its comfortable beds, clean rooms, and secure garden. Guests enjoyed the thoughtful welcome pack and found the property to be warm and well-equipped, despite some noting issues with maintenance and noise from the busy road.

Most guests found Dobbies Den clean and tidy, with spotless rooms and comfortable beds. However, a few guests mentioned cleanliness issues such as dirty cutlery drawers and cobwebs, suggesting room for improvement.

The cottage's location is praised for its proximity to Bewdley town centre and local attractions. While the convenience is a plus, some guests found the busy road and nearby construction to be noisy, slightly detracting from the overall experience.

Guests consistently mentioned the comfort of the beds and the cosy atmosphere of the cottage. However, concerns were raised about the steep stairs and the cold bathroom, suggesting that while the bedrooms offer comfort, other areas could be improved.

The cottage is well-equipped with a secure garden and off-street parking. Guests appreciated the well-furnished kitchen and the garden's suitability for dogs. However, issues with TV reception, a cold bathroom, and difficulty with the front door indicate that some facilities require attention.

The welcome pack with bread, butter, and dog treats was frequently mentioned and highly appreciated by guests, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts, while enjoyed by previous guests, are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

This semi-detached cottage lies in the attractive market town of Bewdley, just a short walk from the town centre and many shops, pubs, and restaurants. Tastefully decorated over two floors, whilst benefitting from off-road parking and a rear enclosed garden, Dobbies Den invites couples and families for a lovely stay in Worcestershire. Step through the front door into the kitchen/diner, equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge with ice box, encouraging home-cooking when you’re not sampling the local restaurants. Move into the lounge, where you can put your feet, reflecting on the day’s activities, or tuning into the Smart TV. A patio door leads to the rear garden, where you can relax at the patio furniture or get the fire pit going and entertain each other into the night. Head upstairs and discover the bedrooms, both featuring king-size beds and a set of drawers for your personal items. Head out the door and walk a mile over the bridge into the town centre of Bewdley, where you can learn about the local area with a visit to Bewdley Museum, enjoy a picnic in the Jubilee Gardens, or hop on board a vintage steam train as you enjoy a picturesque journey along the Severn Valley Railway. On your return, there are several fabulous eateries in the town, so treat yourself to a night off cooking and sample some pub grub! Those who enjoy spending their downtime outdoors with their four-legged friend in tow will be spoilt for choice when selecting a route, with Habberley Valley, Habberley Trail (perfect for both children and dogs), where you can also stop off for a picnic, the Wyre Forest, and Rifle Range Nature Reserve all nearby. Those keen golfers can tee off at the superb Wharton Park Golf & Country Club, which features an 18-hole championship course and a driving range. Head to the West Midlands Safari Park and wander around this 150-acre site, discovering a range of animals and a fascinating on-site discovery trail, sure to be loved by the little ones! Choose Dobbies Den for a special retreat with all the family.

The attractive market town of Bewdley, once described as "the most perfect Georgian town in Worcestershire", sits on the banks of the River Severn, and is close to the medieval Wyre Forest, with its many walks and cycle trails. Bewdley offers much to delight visitors, with a good choice of pubs, cafes and restaurants along the riverside, many tiny shops, antique and craft galleries, and all surrounded by beautiful countryside with gentle rolling hills, steep wooded valleys and meandering rivers offering many opportunities to discover a rich diversity of wildlife. The area has some of the best attractions in the country, with the Severn Valley Steam Railway, West Midlands Safari Park, numerous National Trust properties and many colourful events throughout the year, including riverside festivals and regattas, open air concerts and family activities. Something for everyone!

    Walks from door. Cottage clean and extremely comfortable beds and cosy living room. Nice quality linens and towels. Bathroom very cold only small towel rail, and wall permanently has condensation on it.Tv stopped on 2nd night, contacted Todd the owner who tried his best on the night but sorted it out for us the following day. Good off road parking. Nice walk to Bewdley and along river, also nice walk around perimeter of Safari park and bk to Bewdley. Excellent riverside cafe serving the best and tastiest Old English all day breakfast at very good price.

    Our stay at Dobbies was truly wonderful, such a comfy and pleasant little cottage. The king size beds and bedding was extremely comfortable and i could smell fresh linen upon entering the bedrooms. The road was abit noisy but didn't bother us after the 1st night. Overall a very pleasant experience. Also the hosts left us fresh bread, coffee, milk and butter, so kind. Thank you
