About the property

Hidden beside a beautiful river in rural Gloucestershire, this PRIVATE RIVERSIDE RETREAT offers a rare opportunity to slow down and reconnect with nature. Enjoy uninterrupted valley views and experience spectacular stargazing from your own secluded haven. Peaceful, romantic and wonderfully restorative, it's a place guests leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Hot tub automatically included with 2+ nights. Please note - Maximum occupancy: 2 adults and up to 2 children, or 3 adults The space EXCLUSIVE RIVERSIDE RETREAT | PRIVATE HOT TUB & YOUR OWN PRIVATE RIVER VIEWS Welcome to The Riverside Retreat, a genuinely beautiful riverside setting with exclusive use for one set of guests. Set on the banks of the beautiful River Severn in Gloucestershire, this is your own private retreat where luxury meets nature. Unlike many countryside escapes, you have the entire setting to yourselves; no neighbouring pods, no shared facilities, just uninterrupted peace, stunning riverside views and the opportunity to truly switch off. PERFECT FOR: - Romantic escapes - Anniversaries - Birthdays - Honeymoons/Mini-moons - Relaxing time away - Digital detoxes Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic getaway or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, The Riverside Retreat offers the perfect place to relax, reconnect and create lasting memories. Wake to birdsong, enjoy breakfast overlooking the river, explore the surrounding countryside or spend the day doing absolutely nothing. As evening falls, light the fire pit, soak beneath the stars in the hot tub and experience the tranquillity that our guests say is unforgettable. Inside you'll find a beautifully designed space with a comfortable made up King bed, stylish en-suite shower room, a fully-equipped kitchenette and thoughtful touches to make your stay relaxing from the moment you arrive. One of the things our guests love most is the complete privacy. We chose to create just one retreat, giving every guest the rare opportunity to enjoy exclusive use of this beautiful riverside setting. INSIDE THE POD The insulated four-season design keeps the space comfortable year round; it's warmer in winter, cooler in summer — with a wood-burning stove for extra warmth during the colder months Beautifully designed with comfort in mind, you'll enjoy: - Comfortable King bed with quality bedding - Stylish en-suite shower room - Heating for cosy evenings all year round - Thoughtful touches throughout - A telescope and binoculars with literature on both stargazing and the local and surrounding area Everything has been carefully chosen to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of riverside paradise. THE HOT TUB - Included at no extra cost for two night or more stays - £30 for one night stays (due to turnaround running costs - there is a full clean and water and chemical change between each guest visit) MASSAGE TREATMENTS Make your stay even more relaxing with an in-house massage, subject to availability.

We are committed to preserving the tranquil environment for both visitors and our neighbours. We kindly ask guests to consider whether the peaceful nature of the location is suitable before booking and to help us preserve the quiet atmosphere enjoyed by both guests and neighbouring residents.
