What our customers say about their holidays
Philip - Verified booking
First the good news !
This is a pretty little cottage within the courtyard of a restored & converted stable block. The village of West Felton is a lovely quiet Shropshire village just off the main A5 trunk road but far enough off it to be very quiet and peaceful. All the villagers we met were friendly & chatty and there is a very useful village shop and post office (post office open Wednesdays a.m.only). Sadly the village pub, the Punch Bowl, has seen better times and needs a big chunk of investment to compete with the nearby Queens Head just a mile down the road. Hope it survives ! Oswestry is just a few minutes down the road where there is more choice & several supermarkets. The cottage itself has been updated with new kitchen, bathroom and two very pleasant bedrooms (one with super king bed !). The cottage is small, ok for two but we though four adults would struggle. The refurbished bathroom is downstairs next to the kitchen which can be a bit of a hassle if you need a quick dash to the loo in the night ! This involves negotiating the steep narrow staircase with some strange step arrangements where they meet the bedrooms - needs a lot of care to negotiate safely ! The "not so good" bits ! - We have stayed at lots of Sykes cottages but this is the first one where we almost turned round and left when we saw the lounge carpet. It truly looked as though someone had held a pop festival on it, grubby, badly stained. Only fit for the skip I'm afraid. Really needs a hard floor to be in keeping with the cottage character & to cope with the wear & tear it obviously gets. The place needs a bit of TLC in a few places too - my first shower had to be aborted due to the shower waste not working properly. Had to set to and clean it out which was a bit unexpected. Similar the dishwasher which needed its filters cleaning out to work properly and the detergent dispenser wouldn't close so it was hand washing up - again not a show stopper. To maximise space the lounge has a fold down dining table with some integrated dining chairs - truly the most uncomfortable things we have ever sat on even with the addition of a cushion ! Its a shame that a bit more attention to detail & maintenance hadn't been paid because its a lovely place & could be a lot better. The owners were away when we were there otherwise we would have knocked on the door and explained all of this to them. Don't be put off, its a nice place but bear in mind the downstairs bathroom, steep narrow stairs if you have mobility issues. This is a dog friendly cottage & we had our dog with us - however the two black cats & the free range hens are boss so watch the dog !!

I would have given 0 stars but the least you can give is one.
The only positive thing I can say is the property is in a great location. On arrival we struggled to gain entry to the property as the front yale had been double locked from the inside. Overall the house is in a very poor state of repair, cracked and peeling plaster, peeling paint on walls, kitchen cupboards and furniture, window frames coming away from the walls. It is a period property so I assume listed, so you could overlook it being rough around the edges if the property was clean, but it wasn't. We felt grubby and unable to fully relax for our entire stay. The floors, rugs and carpets were dirty, there was dust, cobwebs and general dirt everywhere you looked. Black mould on bathroom grout and shower heads that didn't work fully due to limescale build-up. Baked on food and actual food in the microwave and oven. Dirty oven trays just sat in the oven that has not been cleaned for a long time. Towels and bedding were clean but it is clear to anyone who runs their own home that the property has had nothing but a cursory "clean" for some time. Shonky bannister rail on first floor which left the member of our party with mobility issues feeling unsafe using the stairs. (They live in a period property themselves, so are usedto steep staircases). A more trivial issue that the tv remotes don't work properly and the tv turns itself off at random. We tried to ring the landlord about the state of the kitchen, calls did not connect to his phone. I rang Sykes immediately and sent photos, got a standard "we've passed it to landlord" response and my complaint was closed straightaway, even though it wasn't resolved. We heard nothing from the landlord and nothing further from Sykes (despite making further contact that wasn'treplied to). We were left with a kitchen no one would want to use. The kitchen was in the same state wbe we left so it is not the case that it was resolved whilst we were out. Would not recommend the property or booking through Sykes to anyone. Which is a shame as my family have used Sykes for many years without issue but it only takes one poor experience to take your business elsewhere. You are told to report issues as soon as they happen so they can be resolved. We did and they weren't. If we had reported it after we would have been told it was too late to do so. It seems that it doesn't matter when you report issues, they don't get resolved either way

Unfortunately our stay at this house was very disappointing.
It was described as a luxury house, but it was far from that. Everything was tired and dirty. We couldnât log onto the internet and couldnât get any of the televisions to work. In the main bathroom the toilet seat was broken and the sink was blocked. We couldnât open the windows and there are no fans in either bathroom. There were no instruction packs for the heating or televisions, as mentioned. Meaning that the house was cold and the heating was fixed on a timer, which was no good when we were there during the day. The oven trays were dirty and when moving the settee to find the lamp switch we were disgusted with the dirt and grime we found behind it. Even though the house slept 8, there were only 4 dining chairs, so we had to bring in the tired and dirty outside chairs in so we could all sit around the table for our daughters 30th birthday meal. I tried to contact the owner whilst we were there to discuss the heating and television controls with no response. The issues with this house put the dampers on what should have been an enjoyable weekend away for our daughterâs 30th birthday celebrations. I would suggest that you remove this property from your site and that you inspect the properties periodically that you advertise on your site.

This is an absolutely amazing house!
Everything is done so well and each room is a delight. It is so spacious and comfortable. It was completely clean and everything was well maintained. Some reviews have mentioned the steep walk down to Ironbridge and it is true that there is a very definite incline...it didn't trouble us at all and we have stayed in this area before so knew what to expect. It may not be ideal for someone less mobile but there are very few places in Ironbridge that have level access. The upside of the slope is the fantastic views of the gorge from every window of the house. You can see clearly down to the bridge and everything was green and beautiful - the views made the house even more special. Parking is also always a bit of a challenge in the narrow streets around Ironbridge - we took a small car and the garage at the house worked perfectly for us, but there would have been on street parking not too far away every time anyway. All in all, we loved this house and I was sorry when it was time to leave. Next time we are back in the area, it will definitely be my first choice of places to stay.

This is a fabulous property in an amazing location and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The property is well equipped and comfortable as well as cosy. The furniture in the lounge is different to that in the photographs but, in my opinion, it is more cosy now. When we stayed it was decorated for Christmas and the christmas tree was stunning. Although parking and manoeuvring can be tricky and the road is steep, this is clearly explained in the listing so you are aware of what to expect. We would have found cooker instructions useful but there didn't seem to be any. Also, one of the glass cooking dishes was badly chipped on the handle and one of our party received a bad cut. In addition, one of the stair handrails is loose and needs repairing. We do appreciate that owners are not always made aware of such issues and are usually quick to respond and address them. Having said all that, we would definitely still recommend the property and stay again as it is really lovely and there's lots to see and do in the area.
