  Based on a Christmas stay for 8 adults costing £2200 The positives are: Great location for access to beach & walking/Burgh Island The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms modern with good showers.

  The dog bed etc is a thoughtful addition The table top football provided a lot of fun Big kitchen/workspace and the outdoor area is spacious and very useable Gated safe community We didn't have hot water when we arrived but the problem was sorted swiftly. Plenty of parking, we parked 3 cars and the electric charger was a positive for us. Some negatives: The house looks over a BIG caravan park, it was closed at Christmas but I should imagine the noise and traffic would be a nuisance in summer. It's a very disappointing view. The house is well equipped and a sociable space, but lacks a cosy feel, therefore it made it difficult to relax fully. And because it's lacks soft furnishings noise bounces around, especially when the table top football is in action! The sofa area particularly needs some rethinking, it provides a place to watch TV, but isn't sociable because you are all sat in a line, rather than a group. The coffee table is too small and you can't reach it from the sofa. If you use Challaborough on SAT NAV instead of postcode you come into the area via a tarmac road rather than a very narrow dirt track with a lot of potholes! This would seem a more sensible way to arrive. We also noted the following: Only one champagne glass Wine glasses could do with being upgraded Fridge is small for 8 and the door doesn't seem to shut fully. Cooker small for cooking for 8 adults Table is a tight squeeze for 8 adults Could do with a second shoe tray, not big enough for 16 shoes! Not sure the extractor fans were working, alarms set off twice 'Wardrobes' not very practical, no drawers for jumpers/t-shirts etc. We had an enjoyable stay, but based on the above we'd not revisit, or recommend to friends. It is a great location for the beach and walking but didn't provide us with a warm cosy feeling. Might be better for a summer stay, although you'd then be sharing the beach with 350 static caravan families!!

  The shepards hut was such a good find!

  It was beautiful, really cosy with beautiful finishing touches! A lovely cottage vibe! It's really easy to find, with plenty of things to do around the area. When we arrived there was a doggy basket with a towel, blanket, and treats which was so welcoming for the dogs! There was a pack of biscuits and some crisp left for us which was very kind. Fully equipped with tea and coffee and a fresh milk in the fridge! A pack of gard games which came in handy im the evening! The garden was enclosed and safe for the dogs ( unless you have a chihuahua who's an escape artist like mine who will find somewhere where she can sneak out of!) Fire pit and plenty of seating area for outside. The beach is only 30 minutes away, there's pubs and resturants about 5 minutes in the car. Your surrounded by stunning walks we done the Skidby mill walk which was lush, especially with the weather being on our side! We can't wait to re visit, such a perfect location with a beautiful shepards hut. We were so made up we found this we had the best time away! Just what we needed.

  What a fantastic holiday cottage this is.

  Perfect hosts, making it clear that they would be there if we needed anything, but at the same time totally respecting our privacy. The cottage has a lovely ambience and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a really relaxing stay. A lot of effort has gone into the décor, the sofas and beds were comfortable, the kitchen/diner was spacious - and it’s also very dog friendly, which is important to us. Norbury is off the beaten track and there are many walks with stunning views straight from the cottage door. The cottage has a series of little maps covering the Shropshire Hills that were useful to take out and about. We fell totally in love with the cottage and the area and will definitely return for a repeat stay. If you’re looking for a cottage in a rural village setting that’s a perfect base for a walking or touring holiday, then Linley Lane Cottage totally fits the bill. Thank you.

  The house is really lovely and we really enjoyed our stay.

  The outside area is great and the open plan living is lovely. However, we found the area not great for teenagers. We had to drive everywhere to find anything fun for them to do and that’s not always fun as the roads away from the property are not for the faint hearted. Where the roads are so narrow, what you think is a short journey in mileage actually ends up taking double the time. The house is also extremely hot! I honestly don’t know how we would have coped if the weather was any warmer. I think an investment in some air conditioning would be a good idea. Going downstairs for the toilet was also a little annoying, but I am 8 months pregnant so probably annoyed me more than it usually would. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommended it to people who enjoy walking and the beach, it just didn’t quite suit our needs at this moment in time :)

  This stunning little treat is elegant and cosy, with a quaint log fire inside and a firepit outside for romantic evenings, even in lower temperatures.

  It overlooked a golf course, with nature and beautiful views right from the window, or garden chairs. We were genuinely surprised with how efficiently the shephards hut had been furnished. There was nothing missing at all. Yes it is small, but there seemed to be so much more space than we anticipated. The bed was luxurious and comfortable, the kitchenette perfectly equipped, a small fold out dining table for romantic dinners and a quaint bathroom with a lush shower. We took our beloved 4 legged friend with us, and there were bowls, treats and bedding all ready for him. The attention to detail, lovely decor and general rustic charm of this fabulous little get-away was exactly what we needed for a couple of nights break. We even managed to find a pleasant pub within walking distance in the next village. All in all, one of the best quirky holidays we've had. Great job.
