  This was an impromptu break, so I didn’t research the cottage in as much depth as I normally would.

  I just wanted somewhere that looked comfy, allowed my dog, and wasn’t too much of a journey from home. It turned out to be all of those things and loads more. So much so that I would happily sell up and move there tomorrow..... The cottage is very clean, light, airy and spacious. The main bed is exceptionally comfortable (didn’t try the others, obviously), and the choice between full bathroom and full shower room was perfect for me. The south-facing patio, looking out over the fields and hills, is idyllic and we spent a lot of time there, watching the swallows and swifts toing and froing. We had the bonus of stunning weather too. And peaceful......so very peaceful..... The location is also perfect for country walks, and of course a good base for NT properties Berrington Hall, Croft Castle and Brockhampton Estate. The cottage is also well equipped, with most things provided that any normal person or family would want. There are a couple of things that the kitchen is short of but, as a self-catering veteran, I am always prepared for this, as I am used to it..... In short, I and my furry friend loved it and had the most fabulous weekend ever. We will certainly be returning. As soon as we can save our pennies to do so in fact.......

  A spacious barn conversion in an idyllic setting.

  There were two comfortable king sized double beds, plus a single and a large square travel cot that doubled up as a play pen for the baby. I have mobility issues since a knee sprain, and found the cottage reasonable to negotiate. The downstairs consisted of a large kitchen, a toilet, and a very pleasant living room with a good space in the middle for the baby to crawl. The upstairs consisted of two enormous bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. It was all spotlessly clean. The most amazing thing about this property is the grounds. There is a large lake with ducks on, lovely wooded areas, and a field with sheep. Being agoraphobic and having some difficulty walking, this provided the perfect opportunity for me to get out into nature. It was a wonderful surprise, and I was able to take some lovely photos of my daughter and her baby.

  Unfortunately we were generally disappointed with the property although as a base for our cycling holiday the location was very good.

  One of the main reasons we selected this property was that secure bike storage was listed however, upon arrival we found this was not available and as such our cycles had to be left outside. We felt the overall appearance of the property was shabby with curtains hanging off their rails and black mould and stained walls clearly visible. The patio area was dirty and covered in birds droppings and weeds. The plastic chairs were dirty and covered in mould. One of the wooden benches was rotten and the barbecue had not been cleaned. No parasol or chair covers were available. I would strongly recommend someone from Sykes visits this property as I suspect it is some time since an inspection was undertaken.

  My husband, myself and our two children had a wonderful holiday at the cottage.

  The cottage itself was like a home from home and spotlessly clean. We all enjoyed playing tennis and wandering around the field, garden, pond and woodland. The owners were really welcoming and the welcome cakes in the fridge were delicious. They kindly showed us around and the kids had a wonderful time picking and eating fruit from the garden, as well as getting to collect the eggs. My daughter fell in love with the tortoise and they were kind enough to let the children go back to play with him a second time. The pubs they recommended nearby were great and we hope to come back to Shropshire again. Thanks for a wonderful holiday!

  The cottage is a story of two halves, on the one hand the cottage was very spacious, warm, plenty of hot water and the welcome pack of tea, milk and biscuits was most welcome after our long drive, there was parking for two cars in front of the cottage.

  On the other hand - bedroom one had a unit of drawers but there were so small you had difficulty putting clothes in, the second bedroom had no chest of drawers at all, although there was plenty of room to add one, thankfully there was a spare bed which could be used. All the beds whilst adequate would be in need of a change soon. The lounge furniture was most uncomfortable and you could not sit on it for any length of time. The chairs round the kitchen table could be enhanced if seat cushions could be added. Did we have a good time - yes. The weather was atrocious but we were warm and snug in an pretty area.
