Situated minutes from the beautiful river Severn providing lovely walks ,parklands and self drive and river boat trips.
A fair ground and skate park provides great entertainment for families too
Minutes away from locks and the stourport basin very picturesque and short walk into town centre.
Lots of choice in local pubs restaurants and supermarkets .
Surrounded by lots of towns and villages, National trust and English heritage properties.
The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful with information.
We wouldn't hesitate recommending this property and look forward to our next stay.

"My husband and I ( both oap's 70 and 87) booked this accommodation 'Commonside' 3/8/20 to 7/8/20 described as a cottage by Sykes Cottages online."
I would call it a small bungalow rather than a cottage, as it sits on a new housing estate. The bungalow itself was clean and in a quiet area, but its was outside of the main town and shopping area. We found the bedroom claustrophobic the description of bedroom had said ceiling on one side is low, but I'm only 5ft and I kept bumping my head each time I got in and out of bed. Sykes, online said shops 5mins and pub 2mins away from bungalow, that's only correct if your a young fit person or you go by car - if your oap's like my husband and I and not very good on your legs it takes approximately 10mins at least to pub (which is a British Legions club) and 15mins at least to a Tesco store. As the law stands your not suppose to drink and drive meant we would have too struggle walking there and back and coming back along a dark quiet road - no thank you! We booked this accommodation taking as it was written that pub was only 2mins away then we could have strolled to pub for our evening meal and a drink. We have used Sykes Cottages before, but on this occasions we are very disappointed especially with the online information given. It ended up us coming home a day early from our holiday break, because we felt let down by description given online by Sykes Cottages.
Many thanks for you feedback, we have fed your comments back to the owner in order to maintain our property standards. Your views are as valued as your initial booking so that we can keep providing the best UK holiday experience.
Your points will also be reviewed to ensure that our property descriptions are accurate and not misleading. Property Owner

"The house was dirty ."
Didn't look like the carpets had been hoovered. The window cills had dust and dead insect on them. cob webs in various places. The kitchen work top was dirty. Didn't think we would go on holiday to have to clean our own accommodation not good. Have had two other holidays with Sykes and the accommodation have been exceptionally clean. Hope this is a one off.

"The cottage was well furnished, heating was excellent, nice large television, beds were comfortable."
Bathroom had bath and shower facilities. A very minor complaint which the owner should be aware of, there was no welcome pack, no tea bags, no coffee, no milk, no visitors book etc it was only minor things but we have found these in most of the properties we have rented.

"TV not working on arrival - engineer fixed that evening but the signal was lost the next day, and was intermittent throughout the week."
We used the DVD player instead once we had replaced the batteries. Half the light bulbs in the kitchen had to be replaced. A curtain rail kept falling off in the living room.
Although the owner was friendly and helpful and sorted the problems quickly the accommodation was in need of a really good clean, especially the carpets which had a lot of pet hair on them, door and drawer handles were missing, remote controls needed new batteries.
Overall the accommodation was OK, but not up to the standard we normally get from a Sykes Holiday
