OUR STORY
Welcome to Severnside Press, a labour of love brought to life by Tony and Alex. With over three decades of experience in hospitality, Tony always dreamed of creating a place that feels like a true escape—somewhere guests can relax, recharge, and feel right at home. And after running a successful B&B by the sea, the pair set their sights on something different: a new adventure in the peaceful heart of Gloucestershire.
It was during the long, reflective days of lockdown that their dream began to take shape. They stumbled upon an old Georgian gem in Newnham on Severn, steeped in history and waiting for a second chance. The building once housed a family-run printing business, turning out hand-set type and inky sheets for nearly a century. But time had turned it into a forgotten corner of the village, a quiet memory of Newnham’s industrious past.
With a vision for blending the old with the new, Tony and Alex spent a year meticulously restoring the property, transforming it into the elegant and welcoming Severnside Press B&B. Today, each room whispers of its heritage while offering modern comforts, creating a space where history and hospitality meet.
Severnside Press invites you to unwind, explore, and feel at home. Take a look at the photos below to see the building’s journey, from its printing days to its revival as a unique retreat.

Five star B&B!
We had a wonderful experience staying at Severnside Press B&B. The rooms are wonderful with thoughtful decor and amenities. Tony and Alex are personable and welcoming. The cooked to order breakfast was the best we had on our three-week holiday. Highly recommended stop for your next vacation!
wonderful place
This is such a beautiful place to stay! Tony & Alex were wonderfully thoughtful and helpful hosts and I honestly can’t think of anything I would change. The Classic room is beautiful and spacious, the bed is super comfortable, and there were lovely toiletries and coffee / tea etc supplied.
AMAZING FIND
Welcomed in to the gallery downstairs by Tony and made to feel very welcome. First impression was wow what a beautiful place and when we got shown to our room we were not disappointed. We had the classic double. Bed amazing. Duvet and pillows were stunning I didn’t want to get out!
