What our customers say about their holidays

  The owners provided an excellent living accommodation with great attention to detail with regards to cooking utensils, toiletries and linen.

  The property was spotless and the super king bed a real treat. However, Sykes advertise the property as having a private garden, with a patio. The photos lead us to believe the property is in its own grounds. In reality it is 20 yards from the owners’ own home and is totally overlooked. We had to keep a blind shut at all times so that we couldn’t be overlooked. We did not have a garden, as the one adjacent to the property belongs to the owners. The “patio” is a path around the property. The owners kindly offered us the use of a field adjacent to their garden, however it was overgrown and full of rubble and at times, had sheep in it so we could not let our dog into it. On sunny days we felt “on show” if we sat outside, as the owner was sitting in her garden and we felt like we were encroaching on her space - however she at no point made us feel uncomfortable, this was just how we felt. Had we known the property was in the owners’ garden - and also on the same site as another holiday cottage - we would not have booked. We do not blame the owners at all - they did everything we could to make us welcome. Sykes; please make your listings accurate. We have tried to get in touch with you to complain, however there is no option to do so. We would like to email you accurate photos of the property and for you to explain why your listing was falsely advertising the property.

  Sarah has set up a lovely place for visitors to stay.

  The accommodation is faultless and very well presented. The super king bed was luxurious. Both pubs in the village are highly recommended for food and drink though the lane from Gerry’s place is only a single track we decided not to walk with our four month old baby. Other places to visit include the Carding Mill Valley for spectacular scenery, Church Stretton has some lovely coffee shops and walks in Rectory woods. The Shropshire Discovery Centre was excellent with lovely walks with our dog and baby, a fantastic cafe and shop and a great museum. Stokesay castle has an amazing timber built gatehouse and Ludlow castle was worth a visit. Ludlow in itself is very beautiful as is Much Wenlock. Gerry’s place was an ideal base to explore all of this as a family. Only down side was that from the property, although very rural, there were no footpaths without having to negotiate the lane for around 0.3 of a mile, not far but not easy with an ageing dog and a young baby.

  Stay was excellent.

  The cottage was a perfect space for two people and a dog and had everything we needed. The only thing I would say is that the road to and from the cottage is very muddy and without paths, so getting to and from places without a car was a bit tough. It was walkable but us and the dog got filthy in the process as it was a very rainy weekend and as there are no paths, you have to stand in mud to get out of the way of cars, but this isn’t the owners issue. My only issue with the property is that the dining table is collapsible, which made it a little rocky, so we had to be cautious when using it, but that was all. Would stay again!

  A very clean, tidy and well appointed annexe with lovely views and situated in a quiet area.

  Ample crockery and cutlery for two people! Shower worked lovely and the place was always warm and cosy when we got back from a long walk. The garden was well enclosed and safe for our little dog to run around in and the owner, Sarah, was lovely and helpful. The only small gripe was we wished the two armchairs had higher backs as you cannot rest your head and relax! But that is a personal opinion. Would highly recommend this property for a base to go walking from and visiting around Shropshire as it had all the amenities you would need and was left alone to enjoy your holiday!

  This property is a new well built studio with first-rate fittings and utensils for your use.

  It is faultlessly clean ,which is easy to maintain, plus a huge comfy bed. It has a friendly , helpful host and surrounded by farmland. There are many dog friendly pubs nearby and walks such as Carding Mill Valley and resevoir only 2 miles away in Church Stretton. It also has Woodland walks too. Church Stretton also has a Fish & Chip shop , a Chinese and Indian takeaway. Perfect place for a two person getaway.
