The Lenchford Riverside Inn

I stayed at The Lenchford Riverside Inn recently while attending a wedding nearby. I called ahead to request an early check-in due to the event, and the staff were very accommodating, allowing me into my room early as it hadn’t been used the night before. This gesture was much appreciated.||However, upon arrival, I was immediately put off when I found hundreds of flies on the ceiling of my room — it seemed the window had been left open all day. While the lady on duty was quick to come and hoover them away, it was quite an unpleasant first impression. Given that I had called ahead and they knew I was arriving early, I believe there was ample opportunity for someone to check the room beforehand.||The bedroom itself was modern, nicely decorated, and generally comfortable, which made the experience somewhat redeeming. Unfortunately, the bathroom was a different story — very outdated with poor water pressure, and I noticed cobwebs, which raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and maintenance. The stark contrast between the well-kept bedroom and the neglected bathroom was quite surprising.||The breakfast was lovely — a real highlight of the stay. I’d particularly like to mention the lady who greeted me in the morning. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, her service was exceptional. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole experience feel far more personal and enjoyable. A genuinely lovely part of the stay.||To be fair, the stay was very affordable, and I don’t mind an older property as long as it’s clean. In this case, the cleanliness didn’t meet expectations, especially in the bathroom. Investing in an update and ensuring a more thorough cleaning routine would go a long way toward improving the guest experience.||That said, the staff overall were absolutely lovely. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming — I can’t fault them at all.||In summary: great staff, a decent room, and a fantastic breakfast let down by cleanliness issues and a very tired bathroom.

We were only here for one night for a wedding nearby, but we had a great time. The staff were all lovely (I only caught Vicky's name, but they were all great). They'd managed to prepare the room for early check in (even though I'd only requested it during booking 5 months earlier and forgotten to chase it up). The room was quaint but it was spacious and the bed was comfy. Plus it had a lovely view. The only down side was the shower, which had poor pressure and temperature control. The following morning, the breakfast was plentiful in terms of options and portion size (plus it was tasty). We'd happily stay here again.

Very friendly folks with convenient free moorings on the river for customers. Went in one day for snacks and drinks, spent the night on the mooring with their permission, and went back the next day for dinner. Good food, large drinks selection, and comfortable surroundings. Didn't need a room, so can't speak about that. Seems to be a popular place for groups to come to eat at tables outside near the river as well as indoors.

We went on a Sunday for a carvery, and it was perfect. Suitable for vegetarians especially if you ask for gravy etc. The prices of these meals are amazing with an adult plate at only £12, along with the portions are massive! The service was great with all the staff being very kind and helpful. It is also situated beside the river Severn with amazing views. Great place to come if you want a great priced carvery!

Had a sunny afternoon by the river. My husband unexpectedly passed the pub earlier in the week. Beautiful location good selection of beer/ciders etc. Menus looked so good we tried the duck pate & garlic prawns for lunch. Very tasty , good portions & reasonably priced. Staff friendly too. Want to revisit end of May with a friend from London

We have just left at 12.30am to drive over an hour home to get some decent rest. We couldn't cope with the noise. Walls paper thin, people stampeding on floors above. People in the next rooms loud conversation, coughing - all past midnight. Then starting on the cannabis.. horrendous. Really upsetting as this cost us hard earned money and we lay there until we couldn't take it any longer. We just wanted to chill and sleep in peace. I may as well just have chucked £100 odd down the toilet and saved myself the bother.. door handle to the room needs attention so guests aren't grappling to lock the door. Doors squeaking, simple to fix with some oil. Friendly staff and rverside location the only positives I can find about this place.

Lovely apot, disappointing food. Ordered the veggie burger and asked for chips instead of fries, they bought me fries, when I said I ordered chips there was no offer to rectify. The veggie burger was very crispy on the outside and inedible. Staff never checked to see if our food was okay and when she came to clear my plate which was still full of food, just asked if I had finished and never asked if everything was alright …. As lovely as the location is I can see why it was empty and definitely won’t be going back

We stayed here for the first time and hopefully won't be our last. We had a really warm welcome on our arrival, there are plenty of car parking spaces. It was such a lovely place to stay. Our room was spacious, with a large very comfortable bed, TV, tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer. We also had a nice balcony with a table and chairs which was overlooking the river which was great and the view made it better We had breakfast included with our stay and that was delicious.

Nice club sandwich, the bacon and chicken was excellent. The chicken could have been in smaller pieces, perhaps sliced. But over all it was a very tasty club sandwich. The chips were nice too. The other people in my group enjoyed their main courses also. They had the beef lasagne, the steak and ale pie and the huntsman chicken. My sandwich and those mains were all great value also. A special mention for the starter from the board that we ordered for the table to share and not a good mention. Even if it was only 3.50 GBP, the dressed nachos with melted cheese and BBQ sauce was inedible. It was like a dish a student would serve up when they had the munchies and that's all they had in the cupboard. A star dropped for that. The starter being the only disappointment, we found the staff were very nice and helpful. The interior is your typical English pub which serves food: a little dated, but clean and comfortable. The tables outside by the Severn are very pleasant and recommended in the summertime.

The Lenchford Inn was always a fabled trip out with me and my parents. This place was magical to me as a child. A traditional English pub on the side of the River Seven, surrounded by trees and boats and other kids. My parents would buy some drinks and we would sit outside. I would wander off and explore, my parents would bask in the sun and watch the birds and boats go past. This place is just an amazing location to visit on a sunny day. We still occasionally go there when I am home. My parents are in there mid-70's now but it still brings back so many memories. The place hasn't changed much over the years. Its been kept in good nick and the current owners are very friendly. We did eat there and although not amazing it did fill the gap. It has what money can't buy for me. Good memories of times gone by.
