Chatford Roost is highly praised for its comfort, welcoming hosts, and thoughtful touches like homemade treats. The barn conversion offers a cosy stay with modern amenities and is well-situated for exploring Shropshire's attractions. Guests appreciate the peaceful rural setting and the property's cleanliness, though a few minor maintenance issues are noted.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean and well-presented. However, one review mentioned cleanliness issues, including a need to clean appliances and the presence of cobwebs and slugs, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and beautiful, ideal for exploring the countryside and nearby towns. Its proximity to Shrewsbury and other attractions is appreciated, contributing to a high score.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds, lounge furniture, and the overall homely feel of the cottage. The presence of a log burner adds to the cosy atmosphere, ensuring a high level of comfort.
Reviews highlight the well-equipped nature of the cottage and the high-quality furnishings. Some guests experienced minor issues with lighting and a lack of instructions for the log burner, which suggests room for improvement in maintenance.
The hosts are frequently commended for their thoughtfulness, including welcoming gestures like homemade cakes. While these personal touches are highly valued, it is noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be a consistent offering for all stays.
Shrewsbury 5 miles. A delightful, Grade II listed barn conversion located adjacent to a quiet working livestock farm, in the tiny hamlet of Chatford, 2.5 miles from Bayston Hill, in the popular county of Shropshire. This former agricultural brick-built barn, dating back to the 1830s, has been lovingly restored into a pretty, welcoming cottage, set in an idyllic rural location. Beautifully renovated, the cottage offers modern open plan living downstairs, ideal for families or couples looking to explore this area. Entering into the stylish fitted kitchen you will immediately be taken by the cosy, well-equipped accommodation, with the dining room centrally located in a high galleried hallway, with A frame beams set in the wall. The sitting area has further exposed beams, an external stable door and a warming characterful woodburner recessed in a small inglenook fireplace; perfect for relaxing on the reclining chairs and warming your toes in front of the glowing embers. Upstairs, off the mezzanine half-landing, two separate staircases lead to a double bedroom and a twin room with zip/link beds that can be converted to make a super king-size room if required. Both bedrooms benefit from en-suite facilities and have a TV/DVD. Outside, there is parking in a courtyard, a lawned area and an outbuilding where bikes can be safely stored. There is a wealth of walking opportunities with numerous footpaths leading through the 100 acres of farm land, offering unspoilt trails from the doorstep, and joining up with the Shropshire Way within a mile. The Stiperstones and the Stretton Hills provide further rambling opportunities, plus for cyclists, there is the bonus of National Cycle Route 44 passing close by. The delights of the historic market town of Shrewsbury are just a short drive away, and Telford with its famous Ironbridge Gorge should not be missed off your itinerary. This is a superb character cottage in a wonderful holiday location.
Shrewsbury lies in the heart of one of England's most beautiful counties. Set within a giant loop of the River Severn, it is one of England's finest heritage towns with over 600 listed buildings.
