“We had a great week at this spacious, well looked after and well equipped property.”

Beautiful outlook over the river. Lots of different birds seen. Fishing better than expected for the time of year.

“Seven people were expected but there were only 3 bath and 3 hand towels, no hand soap or washing up liquid.”

The twin bedroom does not have any Windows or natural light, it was necessary to have the door open for ventilation. One of the mattresses in the twin room was very squeaky at every movement :- mattress/springs? No advice as to use of facilities such as heating, dishwasher etc.

- Mr Banton, December 2018

Thank you for your feedback. The owner is sorry to hear that there were not enough towels left for your stay, as there were only 3 people confirmed on the booking he thought he left enough for your party. Had he been made aware of the extra guests he could have left enough for everyone. As it is a self catering property you are required to bring all products with you as not all owners leave starter packs if it is not listed. The mattresses are all less than one year old and we can only apologise if it is not to your taste, mattresses are very subjective and it is not always possible to cater to everyone's requirements. Information regarding how to operate house appliances along with information on near by days out can be found on the sideboard in the hall for your convenience. We hope that enjoyed your stay at Rosewater Cottage and that the comments you made did not detract from your time there. Sykes owner relations
“The cottage was beautifully decorated & furnished & immaculately clean.”

There were a few minor problems during our stay but these were promptly fixed by Syke’s & the caretaker of the cottage. The one let down was the bed mattress, which we think does need replacing as it was very uncomfortable. Be aware the speed bumps on the cul-de-sac are very high!

“Firstly we would like to say a huge thank you to Jackie and Graham for their friendliness during our stay.”

Could not fault the property which was spotlessly clean, and very roomy, also it had everything you needed to make your stay pleasurable. The location was exactly what we were looking for, perfect for fishing and sight seeing. Would highly recommend it, and we will definitely be back.

“We had a very enjoyable holiday the owners were very pleasant and the cottage was very spacious and well equipped.”

The only problem was 1 bathroom but we managed.

- Mr Sawyer, July 2018
“We thoroughly enjoyed our week, it met all our expectations.”

Garden was brilliant for the dog. Everything was immaculately clean. Very relaxing down by the water, would highly recommend the holiday let, which was very spacious, mind you there was only the two of us plus the dog, but still think it would be big enough to sleep seven. Graham and Jacqueline the caretakers were extremely helpful.

- Mrs Havern, July 2018
“Clean and a very helpful owner will definitely stay there again.”

Very peaceful location on the river

- Mr Hardman, June 2018
“Accommodation was spacious and clean.”

However, because the cottage was beneath another property it was quite dark inside. The barbecue was rusty and unusable. Also the pub advertised within walking distance is closed at the moment.

- Mrs Dodge, June 2018
“The Cottage is in a quiet spot over looking the river.”

We were able to spend time watching the birds and boats. The children made friends with the dog upstairs as well as the next door children and another dog in the close. The cottage is well equipped, with plenty of crockery, cutlery and saucepans, which makes a nice change. Although it was good to have a dishwasher a washing machine would have been more useful. We only stayed a few nights but the children still managed to get filthy! There are a few little things that could be sorted quickly, mainly the lighting. The cooker hob only had one light working with none under the cupboards. The cottage is very spacious, however if another bathroom could be fitted it would be even better. My parents joined us and although it wasn't a problem waiting for the bathroom four adults, one of whom is disabled plus a teenager and ten year old did mean it took a while to get out in the mornings! Thank you for the use of a lovely property in a very quiet relaxing spot.

- Mrs Avery, May 2018
“We were very disappointed, felt like we were staying in someone’s basement, not a cottage.”

Windows in main living area were below upstairs decking so felt very dark. Could hear people walking about above and a very lively washing machine! Very difficult to get a consistent heating temperature. Some doors didn’t shut properly, eg, kitchen and bedroom doors. Lots of lights didn’t work. Even though towels were included there were only 3 bath towels and 3 hand towels despite it being 7 berth accommodation which were old and different shades of brown. We had to buy more towels. Smelled damp, all our clothes needed washing once home to get rid of the smell. However, it was spacious and lovely and clean, WiFi was excellent which was a lifesaver as none of us had a mobile phone signal. The television was nice and big so we could all spread out and relax. Furniture was nice. The pub & restaurant described as two minutes walk away, was indeed a short walk but when we got there it had closed down and was falling apart. We were looking forward to returning to the Cotswolds as we had been last year. This was not the Cotswolds! Had to travel 45 minutes to get to the pretty places. Stourport on Severn was not a very appealing place, most of the amusements were closed despite it being the school holidays.

“Much better than previous reviewers give credit for”

Let us be clear there are pluses and minuses to this property, but it seems churlish to criticise the minuses when you know what you are signing up to. Let us deal with the positives first. The cottage was plenty warm enough. It was clean, tidy and well furnished and the wifi was good. It is also in a lovely quiet riverside location with great walks for dogs and humans on the doorstep. There are plenty of all sorts of entertainments that can be had a short drive away, from the West Mids Safari Park and Severn Valley Railway, to Hartlebury Museum, Worcester City and so on. Being all on one level with a very small step on the access path meant that it was easy enough to get elderly family members into and out of the house. However; had we been more organised we would have tried to find a property with more than one bathroom, and with a washing machine. We might also have looked for a cottage that was not the undercroft of someone's house. We weren't organised and so we made do with what we got, and no doubt paid less than we would have, if we had found a picturesque cottage with all the facilities that we could have desired.

“Could do with a washing machine”

- Mrs Moir, March 2017
“Brilliant”

Lovely cottage with every amenity that you needed. The owner came to see if we required anything and if it was satisfactory. I would recommend this cottage to everyone. Jeff Gregory.

“Outstanding place to stay!!”

We rent a holiday home every year and have never been more pleased than with Rosewater Cottage. The house, gardens and location is outstanding, excellent for fishing and relaxing with a great local pub and lots of local places to visit. The property was immaculate with everything you needed for an excellent stay. Fantastic furnishings, comfy beds and immaculately maintained. We have already booked again for next year – I would recommend to anyone.

“Brilliant, very helpful owner even as the waters rose!”

The house is lovely, spacious but comfortable, home from home. We went for our family Christmas as the waters rose. The owner was very concerned and came to check we were not flooded even on Christmas Day. Nothing to dislike. It the weather had been kinder we would have enjoyed lovely walks from the property into Stourport along the river. Lovely view out over the river Severn. Would love to visit again in warmer weather!
