  We recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at 1 Little Broomcroft in Kenley, Shropshire, from 28th December to 1st January.

  Our group of five adults and five children came for a retreat to savour the ‘Chrimbo Limbo’ period—relaxing, eating, drinking, walking, and playing games. This home was nothing short of exceptional, exceeding our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Amy and Phil, the wonderful and attentive hosts, had put incredible thought and care into every detail. They were always available to answer questions, making sure everything was perfect for our stay, which made us feel truly welcome. This house is so much more than just a rental; it feels like a home that has been designed with love, personality, and care. The carefully curated artwork, extensive book collection, and impeccable décor create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and deeply homely. It’s a place where you immediately feel at ease, trusted with a space that has been created for enjoyment and comfort. A standout feature for us was the stunning drawing room. With its elevated views and a fully retractable glass exterior wall, it was a truly special place to spend time. Even in December, we were lucky enough to have some morning sunshine, and sitting there with a coffee, feeling like we were outside while still enjoying the warmth of the house, was a highlight of our stay. The clever interior glass dividing wall meant that the upper floor could be configured in different ways, making the space versatile—open-plan when you want it to be, or offering some sectioned-off privacy when needed. Beyond the aesthetic charm, the house is also brilliantly equipped. The kitchen is fully stocked, the appliances are high-end, and the smart home features—including Alexa-controlled lighting and blinds—were fantastic. Everything worked flawlessly, and the tech-savvy design added a real sense of modern convenience without ever feeling intrusive. The kids absolutely loved the cinema room, which became their hideaway for much of the stay, while the expansive grounds were a paradise for both them and our dogs. With ample parking and plenty of wonderful places to explore nearby, we made the most of the local area, including a fantastic afternoon in Much Wenlock. That said, there was plenty to do without even leaving the house, making it the perfect retreat for both adventure and relaxation. In summary, 1 Little Broomcroft is a truly exceptional place—a luxurious, welcoming, and meticulously designed home that we would return to in a heartbeat. Amy and Phil have created something really special, and we feel privileged to have experienced it. We can’t wait to come back one day!

  We had an amazing stay over Christmas at Little Broomcroft.

  The property is stunning, as is the setting; panoramic views of the local countryside from the open plan kitchen and living area upstairs is something special…especially watching the sun rise in the morning! The level of tech in the house is incredible. Despite the fairly remote location the WiFi is excellent, there is also voice activated lightning and a kitchen with extremely high spec appliances it made catering for large numbers (we had 9 for Christmas dinner…) an easy and pleasurable experience. The cinema room downstairs is also a real treat; 4K projector with SkyTV & surround sound… ideal for a movie or an afternoon watching the football! There are also lots of board games and interesting books to look through, plus an Xbox and a trampoline outside for the kids! The rooms are all very spacious and really comfortable. The general feel of the place is very cozy and warm which really helps to make it a very relaxing and calm experience. Phil and Amy the property owners looked after us brilliantly throughout our stay. They were always on hand to answer any questions about the property and set it up as we wanted it before our arrival. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We would highly recommend a stay at Little Broomcroft. It’s the ideal setting for a relaxing getaway with family and friends in a truly stunning location.

  What a wonderful weekend we spent at this mansion made perfectly to fit our extended family.

  We filled every bedroom and had 19 of us ranging from 2 to 88 years. It was everything we could have wished for to entertain us all. The snooker table was in constant use and perfectly placed to ensure everyone could join in as competitor or observer. The pool was a hit for solo use, or with a crowd in with the kids. While that was busy, just a few could escape to the quieter hot tub and enjoy the wonderful weather we were lucky enough to have. We managed a lunch out on the patio, where there were plenty of chairs and tables to fit us all. Shame we couldn't BBQ but who knew the weather was going to be so good this early in the year. It was great to have completely enclosed safe gardens for the kids to run around in. The kitchen was perfectly equipped to cater for us all and we used it to capacity. Great to have 2 dishwashers and the huge belfast sinks. More dishcloths/ scrubbers a request and a bread knife. The fridge capacity was fantastic and the oven, hot cupboard, grill combo perfect for us all. Although we didn't spend much time in the bedrooms they were comfortable, spacious, fantastic to have ensuites for everyone. Thanks so much for wonderful hospitality. I'd definitely recommend this luxury break for a larger gathering than normal!

  We spent a wonderful family Christmas at The Manor House.

  There was plenty of room for 14 of us, with spacious bedrooms and enough bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook a full Christmas dinner, and the kitchen was also a very sociable place with its large dining table. The children enjoyed playing hide and seek in the house, as well as using the pool table and football table, and also playing football in the large garden (despite the wet weather). The house was lovely and warm - actually too warm on the first night, but the owners helped us to adjust the thermostat. The walk to the village using footpaths across muddy fields provided fresh air, although we didn’t manage to visit the local pub as it was only open in the evenings, and we didn’t fancy the walk in the dark across the fields or along the country lane. But we didn’t miss it as we had plenty of Christmas food at the house and a comfortable living room to relax in! Overall this was a great house, and perfect for our Christmas holidays.

  This holiday was a perfect fit for our family of 10, four children aged 3 to 7 and 6 adults.

  The Oaks is set in beautiful peaceful safe open Shropshire countryside on a working farm perfect for children who need to vent their energy and excitement of being together with their cousins. The house is great with a large open planned living area which has a wonderful open countryside aspect and a well furnished kitchen, ample large roomed en suite bedrooms and a family bathroom. There are a few sheep and ducks to observe. Access to many locations is so easy especially National Trust for example Attingham Park with a great play area, Powis Castle, Chirk Castle, also Llangollen with its railway and Aqueduct and canal. Ellesmere is just 5 miles down the road for shops and mere walks great to explore. The lovely owners Jane and Andrew welcomed us as friends and were always available for advise and help if required. We can fully recommend a relaxing holiday here in a gem of a place in undiscovered Shropshire.
