What our customers say about their holidays
Aslan - Verified booking
Incredible property and setting let down by lack of household sundries/equipment.
The property itself has been recently refurbished to a very high level but a lot of the equipment just do not match the finish. All kitchen crockery/utensils/cookware are IKEA, which is often fine, but sometimes these are flimsy and feels like a corner has been cut here. Considering the level of rent and quality of property, many items were not provided/overlooked which made the stay not as relaxed as it should be: 1. No barbecue. The garden and patio are gorgeous so why not provide a barbecue for guests to use? 2. No hand soaps in any of the toilets/bathrooms and kitchen. 3. Lack of basic cleaning products like toilet cleaner etc. 4. Only one cutting board for a property that sleeps 8. I purchased an extra one and left it at the house to save the next occupants the stress of cooking for 8 using just one board. 5. Only one mixing bowl. etc. When I called up to talk through the points above I was told (a little rudely) that this was a self-catered property so these items would not be provided. Whilst I understand that Sykes mostly does self-catered holiday lets, the quality of this rental property does mean it is reasonable to expect it to come with these basics. Also, might be worthwhile going around and snagging the house as it seems a few pieces of refurbishment evidence are still around. Plastic wrapper left of fire alarm, the plastic film left or refrigerator corners etc. Also might be worthwhile to switch around the hinge of the refrigerator so it opens out into the kitchen rather than straight up against the wall. Perhaps just a couple of reclining lounge chairs and a parasol for the garden would also be ideal. I think most of the above is just some relatively minor teething issues and once these are sorted this really will be a dream holiday home!

The property was delightful and very spacious.
And thankfully the central heating was extremely effective as the weather had definitely turned a bit cooler! The bedrooms were all big and the beds were very comfortable. Sadly due to the inclement weather we couldn't make use of the garden but it too looked fantastic. We were spoilt for choice in dining places but settled on the kitchen as the dining table at the back of the house was in use for two 1000 piece jigsaws (see weather). A minor problem with the DVD was promptly and successfully dealt with. My friends and I all thought it was an excellent house in a lovely little town in a very beautiful part of the country. The nearby pubs were all very welcoming and the food was good. It's nice to visit a town which is not full of all the usual shops and the quirky nature of some shops made for a very enjoyable experience. I would mention the Poetry Pharmacy on High Street for an amazing and eclectic selection of both poetry and non-poetry books and Simpson's on Church Street for cards in particular. If you like books and cards respectively you won't go wrong with these two shops. And if you like second hand CDs and books then Yarmouth House is the place to go. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Laurels as a great place to stay.

Perfect for family gatherings, 6 double bedrooms, 4 loos, 3 dining tables.
Great for hide and seek. Sun room was our favourite, followed by TV room with Sky package. Parked 5 cars. Bishops Castle has a few shops and pubs, plus a great Co-op, although we had a large Tesco delivery from Newtown on our first day. Large fridge and freezer, plus a beer fridge in the utility. We did âCome Dine With Meâ so each of the 6 couples cooked for everyone on their night, we had Sunday Roast, Home made Pizza, Swedish meatballs (from IKEA), Greek, Saturday night party food and Chilli. Half of our party left at 6 am and climbed Snowden (2.5 hours away), the older half went to the excellent Carding Mill Valley (30 mins away). 2 days in Ludlow for the Food Festival and then shopping, Newtown and Shrewsbury also have a lot to offer. Finished with a birthday bash at the Castle Hotel, excellent food, plus a 10% food discount for mentioning the Laurels. Also great at lunchtime on the terrace. Flat entrance but there are a few steps for the sunroom and utility, so not great if you have a walker, plus some bedrooms have sloping floors. All of this adds to the experience in a grade 2 listed building. Thoroughly recommend.

WOW! This property is amazing, highly recommend.
I booked The Laurels as a surprise for my sons 50th birthday, and a family reunion, some of my children hadnât seen each other for 5 years. The Laurels had lots of surprises, from the super well equipped kitchen, beautiful dining room, snug, enclosed garden. There is a toy cupboard with toys and games to accommodate babies to adult board games. The teenagers loved the games room, dart board and pool table, we made a lot of beautiful memories here. The owner has thought of everything, down to milk in the fridge to tea bags. The bedding is of good quality, we all had a very comfortable nights sleep. Thank you SO much. The housekeeper gave us a tour of the property which was really helpful. A couple of things to mention but not in a negative way. The heating was put on as we arrived, it was really cold and having a young baby with us wasnât ideal, but we managed. One if the kettles in the kitchen had water left in it, which is a pet hate of mine, especially when the guest has no idea how long it had been in there. Thank you once again

Hi, we loved the property and garden - absolutely fabulous.
What stopped me giving it a 5 was: - lack of reading lights by bed in bedroom(s). - lack of champagne glasses - sounds a very small things but this week was a big celebration and a holiday home of this standing usually has champagne glasses. I presume they had been broken by previous guests and not replaced as i think there were 2 only. - lack of comfortable seating in conservatory. This area is such a lovely part of the house, especially with the long (and often damp) evenings. It seems such a waste that there is nowhere really comfortable to sit where a family/friends can chat. The desk is just cumbersome and quite obviously put there as there's' nowhere else for it to go. The seats at the dining table are too uncomfortable to hang around on for too long on. I imagine in winter the original living room with a fire is cosy and comfy but when there is light it's so lovely to take advantage of it. -also lack of comfy seating outside. It would be really easy to have some comfortable garden chairs for example
