A warm welcome to our lovely property, School House,

The property faces the road but is just 65 meters from the River Severn down a small alley next to the house.
The Weir is just 2 minutes walk along the riverbank and definitely worth a visit.
For the property itself, the hosts have spared no expense in transforming this lovely property into an extra-special place for guests to enjoy.
Within a stones-throw of the River Severn, giving you beautiful walks from your doorstep into town via the famous Quarry Park.
