    We appreciated the extra large bed and the freezer was a bonus. The owners had kindly left very welcome cake, milk and apple juice to greet us when we arrived and they were very helpful when we encountered a small problem which was rectified immediately. There were walks from the door of Robin's Nest and it was an ideal base for us to explore the Shropshire countryside, hills and the nearby historic towns and villages without having to travel too far. We had no problems finding plenty to do and we could have easily filled several more days.

    A real treat to find cake on arrival and local apple juice and fresh milk in the fridge. We enjoyed exploring the area, but there is no pub or shop within walking distance, so it is necessary to drive, this needs to be updated by Sykes on the listing.

  • Sally

    The views from the balcony were lovely. There were walks from the door. Shropshire was a revelation, such a beautiful county. Robin's Nest is in a excellent location as it is close to lots of great places: Long Mynd, Stiperstones, Ludlow etc. We could have easily done another week and not repeated ourselves. We arrived late as we had travelled after work but Caroline still came out to greet us and made sure the apartment was warm with the lights on. Highly recommended.
