  He home itself was beautiful and the location was perfect so peaceful and exactly what we wanted, all the amenities that you want and need.

  The cleanliness of the home could have been much better, the previous guests had had some sort of celebration and there was still evidence of discarded balloons and confetti all over the home, we had to get the hot tub checked as we found the water to be cloudy and quite smelly this meant we didn’t use it as much as we would have liked, the owners did come and put more chlorine in and offered to empty the hot tub for us. Whilst i understand the home is on a farm the amount of cobwebs when we arrived were everywhere a quick brush of the ceilings on change over would quickly sort these out and possibly eliminate the amount of spiders. The cooker in my opinion needs looking at it took us 1 hour and 20 minutes to cook some oven chips there were no real clear instructions for the cooker so we had to google them and even though we were using the correct settings it was still operating poorly, the extraction fan when switched on sounded like I was on the runway of an airport so again I think that needs replacing or looked at. Whilst we don’t expect perfection these small things would have actually made the home perfect. The home is a beautiful home in the most picturesque setting and these little tweaks would definitely have made our stay perfect. Would I recommend and stay again yes absolutely.

  The property is in a very nice secluded area, with great views and you aren't overlooked; great location to explore the area.

  The inside of the property is very spacious, some of the furnishings such as the beds are a bit dated and hard. The fridge freezer is quite small, we struggled to get 4 days worth of food and drink in the fridge; there was no shelf on the inside of the fridge door to stand up any open liquids such as milk/wine etc. Be prepared to take EVERYTHING you need, there was no welcome basket/essentials such as tea, coffee, sugar; not even salt or pepper. The hot tub outside is extremely muddy with bo extra paving around it, so take suitable shoes to wear. Getting the lid on and off without slipping in the mud was a challenge. The hot tub itself was warm but the jets didn't really work which was disappointing. Due to how muddy it was outside take extra towels for any four legged friends you take with you. The hallways/kitchen/diner is all hard/tiled flooring which will get muddy, we kept the living room and bedroom doors shut at all times to prevent the dogs running on to carpets and soft furnishings. Take extra tea towels as the property only provides one for the duration of the stay and we had to purchase our own hand soap as well as there wasn't any. We were unable to clean down the floors as there were no cleaning products to do so.

  We had a lovely time but this property needs some TLC: 1.

  leaking shower. 2. Would really benefit from the addition of a shower in the upstairs bathroom. 3. Bedding and towels are tired. Kitchen is great, fresh and well kitted out. Gardens are lovely. We loved the conservatory but the roof blinds were not working so it was unusable in the afternoon. The lounge is great. It is not truly dog friendly, its dog tolerant! The garden is not enclosed but there are rules about having your dog on lead at all times (due to horses and sheep) - it would really benefit from being fenced off. That, I expect would also be an issue if there were small children. Cleaning was not the best in the bathrooms. There was a cot, high chair and many games for kids present. When staying with my dogs I would generally hoover and wash floors before I go but there was only a dirty mop and a hoover with only a hand attachment so I brushed up as best I could. We did enjoy our stay, the location is beautiful, there are lovely pubs around and a takeaway and canal walks on the door step.

  Loved our 2 week break at this property.

  It is in a wonderful setting, total peace and quiet. The property was spotlessly clean. The furniture is a bit tired and most of the recliner mechanics dont work. Some of the crockery needs replacing due to chips and scratches. The hot tub was a welcome addition even though again it could do with a bit of attention, no doubt these things are due to the amount of use they get and not everyone being as respectful as they should be. It would have been useful to have some information regarding local shops and supermarkets, or an option to order a basic starter pack of bread, milk, eggs due to the remoteness of the property and the late check in time, especially in the winter months when it gets very dark very quickly. It would also have helped to know what day the refuse was collected especially for a two week stay as the bin isn't very big. That being said it didn't stop us having a lovely time.

  What a glorious week we have had in sunny Shropshire!

  As well as the weather, the Coach House was everything we could have hoped for. A beautiful cottage in lovely, peaceful surroundings, we honestly didn't want to leave and are already thinking about our next visit. The property was perfect for us, well stocked with everything we needed and some lovely touches for the kids, including a little play area and toys for our 6 year old daughter. Whilst the kids enjoyed our welcome gift of chocolate cookies, the grown ups polished off the bottle of fizz! The garden and outdoor space was lovely, perfect for relaxing, playing games and dog walking. The hot tub was an extra bonus! Within walking distance of a cafe and some lovely pubs, it really has everything you need but is also within a short drive of the local shop and nearby attractions. Wonderful for our family holiday and the owner was very welcoming, a great host. Twelve out of ten!!
