Fantastic location for a stay in Shrewsbury and the terraced back area facing the Severn was awesome.

From what I've learned about UK housing the floor plan is what you would expect and the furnishings were very comfortable. It was nice to see a feline visitor since Dogs seem to be the thing everywhere we went. Just a minute's walk past some intriguing shops and you cross an old footbridge. Go left on the river walkway and you are at the Quarry and Dingle. Go right and you will be on the east side of town and straight takes you into the heart of Shrewsbury. I loved the walks along the Severn. Would highly recommend this property for comfort, convenience and location.

what a beautiful home from home Riverbank is.

Much larger than the photographs show to be honest. Comfortable, warm, stylish, every piece of equipment you can think of was there. Gorgeously cosy bed with feather pillows, there were so many luxury items in the home it was outstanding. Right near the town centre, with fantastic independent shops nearby, and although there is no parking you are only a hop skip and jump from the low cost car park around the corner. Normally on the last day I am ready for home but I was so sad to leave Riverbank, I felt so much at home there, totally relaxed. I know this is a gushing review but honestly this is the nicest place we have ever had a break to, and we've stayed in top hotels before. You will have absolutely no regrets staying here if you need peace and quiet and a deep relax. Hope to come back soon, thank you for a wonderful stay.
