Stay at Our Delightful Cottage

If you are visiting our idyllic village, then why not stay at our cottage which is currently undergoing renovations. Situated in the courtyard with its own terrace is our beautiful little cottage which is big enough to sleep 4 people. The cottage itself is comprised of a living room/kitchen, utility room and bathroom on the ground floor, with a spacious bedroom on the first floor. Newnham currently lacks overnight accommodation and we believe that our cottage will be the ideal place for people looking to stay in the village. If you’re looking for some comfortable accommodation in Newnham, then get in touch with us to book your Stay@TheShip.

About Newnham

The village of Newnham stands on the bank of the Severn and was once a port that traded in timber, oak and coal. This maritime trade helped the town thrive and many of its buildings are now listed. The roots of the village can be traced back to Roman times, and was even used as a base by Henry II in the invasion of Ireland in 1171. Newnham’s prominence in trade reached a peak in the late 18th century when it became an important hub that allowed for the movement of goods up and down the Severn. This made Newnham one of the wealthiest towns in Gloucestershire, and with a ferry link to Arlingham it was the location for several coaching routes and major roads. Trade and commerce has steadily declined with the advent of major rail transport and the importance of the town has shrunk as a result. Nevertheless, for those looking for history and nature, Newnham has plenty to see and do.
