Hotels in Stourport-on-Severn

Stourport-on-Severn's accommodation has grown up around its two defining features: the Georgian canal basins and the River Severn. Several of the town's best-known places to stay sit directly on the water, converted from the warehouses, wharf buildings and coaching inns that once served the busy inland port, so it's entirely possible to book a room with a view straight over the narrowboats moored in the basins. Elsewhere, the Georgian streets around the town centre hold a good spread of smaller guesthouses and B&Bs, many run by locals who know the area's walks, pubs and canal history well.

Beyond the town itself, the surrounding Worcestershire countryside opens up more options: country inns and farmhouse B&Bs scattered through the villages toward Bewdley and the Wyre Forest, and self-catering cottages that suit a longer stay or a group. Families drawn by the riverside funfair, the Severn Valley Railway or West Midland Safari Park tend to find plenty of practical, well-located choices close to the action, while anyone touring the wider canal network can simply moor up in the basins and treat their boat as the accommodation. Wherever you choose to stay, Stourport's compact size means the canal basins, riverside promenade and town centre pubs are all within easy walking distance, so you're never far from the water.
