  What a lovely welcome to the engine room.

  Super clean & tidy. Fresh flowers, milk in the fridge and a few treats too. A vast amount of towels so all rooms catered for. The very comprehensive book about the appliances etc as well as places to visit was incredibly helpful. The property itself offered plenty of room for all and the posh hand-wash & hand cream was delightful. I had one query regarding additional parking, Katie answered the phone promptly and offered ideas. The engine shed is very close to town and Shrewsbury itself is an absolute delight. I'd like to add that I am a support worker, I stayed at the property with 2 people with Down syndrome and they found the property very much a home from home. Great to have a washing machine and an airer to keep uptogether with the laundry. We absolutely loved our stay and I will definitely recommend to family & friends.

  A lovely house to stay in (plus a unique piece of history being a former engine shed) Cleverly laid out (absolutely loved the mezzanine kitchen) and very well furnished with everything you need in terms of kitchen equipment.

  Very comfy bed and lovely towels. We really could not fault this place at all! I had to contact the owner (Katie) with a couple of queries and she was really prompt to answer, friendly, and helpful. There is parking for one car but if you have more than one car in your party the station car park is only a 5 minute walk away and £22 for the week). It is a ten minute walk into Shrewsbury which is a superb town full of stuff to do and plenty of places to eat and drink. The Market Hall is a must as is the Prison. So to summarise, we would not hesitate to recommend The Engine Shed as a comfy base to unpack all of the treasures that Shrewsbury and Shropshire has to offer. 10/10.

  This is an outstanding property!

  The owner Katie has thought of everything. There are lots of wonderful little touches that make this place extra special; a lovely welcome pack, books, games, hairdryer, fans to name a few. The kitchen has everything you could ever need if you wanted to cook a 3 course gourmet dinner (we didn't). The decor is wonderful and very tasteful and stylish. The beds were extremely comfortable with luxurious bedding! I didn't want to leave. As well as the above, the Engine Shed is in a perfect location to explore Shrewsbury, being only a very short walk into town. We had a wonderful 5 days stay. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning!!!

  We booked the Engine Room based on the two excellent reviews posted on the Sykes website.

  However, after a long journey the first thing we had to do was clean the microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine as they were covered in food and were absolutely filthy (we have taken photographs). The welcome basket had a small marmalade jar in it which is clearly refilled and had covered the jar and everything in the basket with sticky marmalade. A small glass bottle of milk and orange was left in the fridge which, in the current circumstances of Covid is very unhygienic. The floor was also filthy, our socks were black and my daughter had a brown stain on her foot which wouldn’t come off even after scrubbing.

  It’s a beautiful, quirky, comfortable house with everything needed supplied.

  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. - it’s great that it’s 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!
