Resting in the middle of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, moments away from the River Severn, is this stylish, mid-terrace holiday home of 6 The Engine Shed.

On arrival, you'll be pleased to discover one allocated parking space, so you can get settled in and get your holiday started with ease. Progress inside to find a tastefully appointed sitting room, where you can grab a seat on one of the plush options available and curl up with a book or switch on the TV to enjoy a movie night together. After relaxing for a moment, climb the stairs to the first-floor kitchen/diner, a fabulous, mezzanine space with glass balustrades, where the chef of the family can rustle up culinary delights for all to enjoy. Settle down to dinner at the nearby dining table, a spot that is perfectly lit by the original arched windows; why not open a bottle of wine to accompany your meal, you're on a getaway after all? After dinner, unwind further in the sitting room or throw any old clothing into the nearby utility, before freshening up in the neighbouring cloakroom and climbing the stairs to the second floor, where three well-appointed bedrooms await. The first of the bedrooms consists of a double benefiting from a TV along with access to an en-suite shower room, the second is a double and the third offers twin beds; All bedrooms have Velux windows! Before setting out to explore your surroundings, make a coffee with the kitchen's handy coffee machine and take it out to the front garden, where you can lounge on a bench before wandering into the town. Embark on a short walk into the town centre, where a fantastic selection of eateries await, including The Salopian Bar and The Armoury, alongside a plethora of independent shops boasting local wares. Why not walk along the River Severn towards The Quarry, a park boasting gardens and green spaces for you to explore; alternatively, you could tour the fascinating landmarks of Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Prison?

Tea coffee and milk available when you get there is especially appreciated and the welcome pack is great too, fresh flowers- great first impression. Providing oil, spices, salt and pepper is really welcome, ditto kitchen roll, foil etc. - itâs great that itâs so well equipped. Very thoughtful. Spotlessly clean, lovely rooms - toys for the kids should you have them with you- all in all a great stay. Shrewsbury is absolutely beautiful and the position of the property is great for walking from the front door. Would definitely recommend!
