What our customers say about their holidays

  We spent a wonderful family Christmas at The Manor House.

  There was plenty of room for 14 of us, with spacious bedrooms and enough bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook a full Christmas dinner, and the kitchen was also a very sociable place with its large dining table. The children enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house, as well as using the pool table and football table, and also playing football in the large garden (despite the wet weather). The house was lovely and warm - actually too warm on the first night, but the owners helped us to adjust the thermostat. The walk to the village using footpaths across muddy fields provided fresh air, although we didn’t manage to visit the local pub as it was only open in the evenings, and we didn’t fancy the walk in the dark across the fields or along the country lane. But we didn’t miss it as we had plenty of Christmas food at the house and a comfortable living room to relax in! Overall this was a great house, and perfect for our Christmas holidays.

  A lot of the door handles were loose & falling out, one guest got locked in the toilet & had to shout out the window for help, luckily a passer by saw her & knocked on the door.

  The pool table needed repair, the cues were in bad condition, the pockets needed repairing, the balls were going on the floor when potted. We did one quick wash in the washing machine & that started leaking. We had to take it In turns to have a shower as there wasn’t hot water all day as we had to wait for the tank to fill up. We all had a great time but feel for what we paid the house desperately needed modernisation. The ground floor bedroom next to the kitchen, the ceiling was flaking & each day the guest woke up to small bits of it on her bed. A dirty pair of knickers was found in one of the guest rooms, also a plug had to be rewired by one of the guests who was a qualified electrician & mirror light in one of the bathrooms wasn’t working. I would recommend this house is good for 12 guests and not 16 as put on your website. Only one bath for the whole house and five showers and one was only cold water.

  This was a last-minute booking as we were celebrating a 40th birthday and our camping plans had to be abandoned due to bad weather.

  The house is lovely with amazing views over quintessential English countryside. It was very quiet and peaceful - far from any main road. We were a party of 13 - 6 adults and 7 little people aging from 10 - 3. There was plenty of space for everyone in the large house and round the kitchen table. Lots of cupboard space in the bedrooms. The beds are all super comfortable. The garden is enclosed and flat, so good for ball games. Lots of ensuites and a luxurious bathroom, a big lounge with plenty seating, and the pool table all helped to make the bad weather not an issue at all. There are a couple of other holiday cottages in the complex but we barely saw them and never heard them. There is also a beehive at the far end of the garden but this wasn't an issue at all. All in all, it was a lovely stay in a beautiful place.

  The only thing that would have been good to know before booking was the type of roads leading to the cottage.

  There was quite a few miles of single track roads leading to and from the cottages. High hedges on either side and not many passing places. It seems most residents had large cars, often 4x4 but we only had a small Yaris. Certainly wouldnt have liked to arrive in the dark! The cottage itself was fantastic and extremely clean and well laid out. The number of robins, squirrels and the occasional pheasant on your front doorstep was lovely to see. Lots of lovely walks in the area and the scenery around the area is amazing. I didnt realise how hilly it was in Shropshire. Had a thoroughly relaxing few days, much needed in these Covid days.

  Can't fault the accommodation (see marks above).

  Only small negatives, the accommodation is in a beautiful, isolated rural location, which to us was a bonus. However, it means difficulties with mobile phones and Internet connection. But the owner has overcome this with a purpose built unit that receives wi-if connection very close to the property and works fine. TV reception in the lounge was poor but upstairs was fine. All-in-all an excellent cottage, we have stayed in several and this is up there with the best of them and we would certainly go again. The owners live very close by and are available to give any assistance. Very highly recommended.
