  We had a wonderful stay at The Old Shop.

  It was everything that we had hoped for and more. The layout with a sitting room attached to the kitchen and dining area allowed us to mingle easily and the upstairs room became our quiet area. The games room was great for a bit of friendly competition. Everything worked so well - the kitchen is really well equiped - coped easily with xmas dinner for 9. The place was spotlessly clean, with calm and relaxed decor and lovely and warm. It felt like home from the moment we walked in. The bedrooms are comfortable and cosy. The central heating is zoned and easy to use. As we were having an early Christmas the addition of a beautifully decorated fresh tree was really appreciated. The village and the local area are beautiful with lots of options for walks of all levels. The owner was great at communicating and really helpful in advance of arrival. We are a family of 3 generations and The Old Shop is easily the best house we have rented for our family gathering; we hope to return.

  A great house for a family gathering with facilities for different generations to be together in a lovely area .

  Super welcoming village, excellent Sunday roast at pub , made to feel welcome at village bonfire . Lovely walks from door ,and many places of interest within about half hour drive . We parked 4cars ( 3 right next to property ) and one just a VERY short walk away . Clear parking instructions given by friendly owner beforehand . Everyone in our family group commented on the relaxing ,spacious house and no one really wanted to leave ! Our visit was in winter and the property was warm and cosy . The games room ( lovely and warm too ! ) was an added bonus . Thank you to the owner Bronwen for really caring about the guests and their needs . ( Great welcoming biccies and beverages .) She even leaves a book for people to suggest any improvements or minor issues needing attention . She/ the management team are contactable for any major issues needing immediate attention . We had none ! We would all go back there !

  What a wonderful cottage located in the most beautiful village.

  We spent the bank holiday weekend at the Old Shop celebrating a friends 50th birthday. It was incredibly comfortable - I suffer with a bad back and actually travel with a thick mattress topper which I didn’t have to use as the beds were all so well padded and perfect for a good nights sleep. Great facilities with more than enough kitchen equipment including two fridges to keep the fizz cold! The owner was very helpful and messaged me about the heating upstairs during our stay to check we were warm enough. The weather was also wonderful - we went paddle boarding on Carsington water and got sun burnt. The local pub was also welcoming although we ate at the Royal Oak which was about 20 mins away and offered more veggie options. Everyone in the group said they would recommend the Old Shop and we would all go back for a return visit!

  We had a wonderful family Christmas in this beautiful house.

  There was 11 of us in total, 3 of whom were 5 and under and we found the layout and facilities of the house ideal. The kitchen was well equipped, we cooked most days including Christmas lunch and found everything we needed and plenty of space in the large oven and two fridges. The open plan kitchen/ dining/ living space downstairs is a great social area, with the large table easily accommodating us all. The separate upstairs living room is super cozy with the wood-burner and is perfect for quiet moments or watching films. The village was delightful and everyone very friendly, we enjoyed plenty of walks in and around the village, several delicious lunches in the pub and a 'pop up' Nativity on Christmas Eve in the church. All in all a perfect Christmas break. Thank you, we hope to return.

  It’s a lovely property which was let down by some issues.

  Plus it’s not really practical for bigger families. Issues: heating wasn’t turned on when we arrived. There was no hot water for showers in the evening or the following morning. When we asked for the heating to be turned up this was then fixed for the rest of the stay. Maintenance had missed replacing a smoke alarm battery and this went off all night on our last night. Some of the pans and utensils were very tired. We left some out for replacement. Practicality- there is only one (difficult) parking space. We were told to park in the nearby pay and display public car park, but this doesn’t allow overnight parking! The walk to the nearest pub (which is more than the 0.1 miles stated) is down a dangerous busy road with no pavement in places.
