  We loved our stay - delightful historic tower, very clean, warm bathroom, lovely bed and beautiful bedroom, sparkling Christmas tree lights to greet us, log fire and loads of logs, drinks on the tower roof to see in new year. walks across the grounds, ride on the miniature train, and a huge number of interesting places to explore. (We have stayed at Pink Cottage before.) Lovely local bread, wine and other foods provided. We didn't use for the upstairs lounge - for us, a big TV and electric fire don't really go with a historic castle! Same with the Sonos speakers (we had to ask what they were!) Reasons we cannot give it 5 stars: toilet too far from the bedroom. Oven failed on our fifth day; we reported it but did not receive a reply - strange as we had received replies and help when the kettle and hob failed due to a tripped switch. While it was lovely to be provided with some foods, it seemed that our dietary requests, sent in when booking, had not reached whoever supplied them, so there were some things we couldn't use. We could have done with a lemon squeezer, tongs and a poker, but otherwise had everything we needed. (Incidentally we didn't rate the breakfast at the Brasserie - 'chef's omelette' chiefly featured bacon fat and rind, cheese and tomato in toasted croissant were stone cold, and in the cafe a paper cup of takeaway coffee was £3!!) We would certainly return to Pink Cottage but probably not the Knoll Tower. We have stayed with Rural Retreats several times and have booked a further break with them for later this year.

  I spent 2 hours cleaning this property when we arrived.

  I couldn’t stop sneezing because of the high level of dust. I don’t think it had been dusted for weeks, if not months. The hoover was full when we arrived and I had to hoover the whole property 3 times, before it stopped filling the hoover up again. The freezer and cupboards were full of half eaten food, which I was very confused about? I don’t think that is acceptable, hygienic or safe. I moved all the frozen food to the bottom of the freezer, incase it belonged to the owner.There was a dirty towel under the bed. The towels left to use were awful and very worn and threadbare. I moved all the outdoor furniture cushions onto the top of the wardrobes and then hoovered under the bed. The next guests won’t find it dirty because I spent a lot of time leaving it in the condition I would expect to find it myself. It a shame because it could have been an outstanding property on a lovely quiet camp, if it had been cleaned and all the food removed.

  Wow and perfect. Knoll Tower Exceeded our expectations; a fabulous mini castle in an idyllic, peaceful location with just sheep and deer as neighbours. This historic property oozed history and character, combined with first class luxury. We had the best 4 nights stay, loving every minute of this unique little gem which is surrounded by magificent grounds designed by Capability Brown. An added bonus was the Granary within the grounds, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner. We were greeted every morning by the wonderful staff and the food was delicious. During our stay we visited the nearby RAF museum, Ironbridge village and the Ironbridge Victorian museum, David Austin Roses and Boscabel House. We had such a fabulous mini break at Knoll Tower, celebrating my husband’s birthday. We will definitely return ❤️

  An incredible stay and Matthew and Natalie's hut, the attention to detail was second to none. Lovely couple who welcomed us so warmly and were on hand for all our needs. Inside this beautiful hut is spotlessly clean, so well designed and thought out. Warm, homely and luxurious the bed was amazing!! Lovely hamper on our arrival and we ordered afternoon tea and cupcakes which was delicious and huge!!! The setting, the hot tub, the peace and tranquillity was just what we needed. We went to one of the pubs nearby The Three Horseshoes Pub for Saturday night dinner and Sunday roast the food was great and the company was very welcoming. We 110% recommend this delightful place, added bonus was the lovely animals on the smallholding for which we were allowed to feed the lambs. We can't wait to come back.
