  The two soas were v uncomfortable and difficult to get up from. There was no fire glove and for a four night stay, only two fire lighters left. The pillows on the bed were lumpy and uncomfortable despite us changing them over and trying new positions every night ! The toiletries were quite sparse I thought. The bathroom fittings were all cheap. The shower was cheap - flimsy wire tray on the wall which wasn’t straight. The actual shower wouldn’t go hot enough as it was probably regulated not to go past a certain temperature- shouldn’t we be able to adjust to our own preference ? None of the windows fully opened - again they all appeared to be limited. There was no kitchen hand towel, not enough cups or mugs and only four dishwasher tabs left. The welcome hamper was v poor - v cheap sachets, a v scrappy two pieces of cheese, five eggs, five small eggs, three small pots of preserve and a white cling filmed loaf. I could go on. Heap white goods and the plinth below the under counter fridge kept falling down of its own accord as there seemed to be nothing holding it up. The lighting in the sitting area was poor. The furniture was well below par.

  Our second consecutive Christmas stay and the property still meets the high expectations that it set last year. It is a very large space for two and equipped to feel like home from home, with lovely little touches like the welcome pack, as well as candles, quirky finishing touches like the watering can lamp, and of course the beautifully decorated tree. The settees won't be to everyone's liking but we did find a way to get settled. More information about bins/recycling would be helpful - where we're from a green wheelie bin is for garden waste and we ended up bringing all our recycling home as we couldn't be sure it wouldn't just go to landfill. Also the fridge is a little small for a week's stay over Christmas which demands both food and drink chillage! These are small observations though - in general we love the stillness and solitude, the huuuuuge bed, luxurious bathroom and log burner for the evening. Sadly I think we've been priced out of staying again next Christmas but it will stay on the wishlist for future visits.

  A lovely getaway cottage in a quiet area off Snelston, we really enjoyed what Adelaide Cottage had to offer.

  A very private location, farm animal encounters and a lovely host. More than enough amenities, anything needed was supplied when asked for. The cottage was clean, nicely decorated and very cosy. Helen made sure we made the most of our stay and was so kind. We especially adored the pet cat and ducks. Pool is extremely well kept and we were given plenty of opportunities to use it during the week. Welcomed with complementary goods, the host mentioned she’s planning to introduce a welcome pack for the cottage. The area has nice walks but you must be devoted to walking about at least 40 minutes to reach nearest point of interest - the national trust’s Manor and the Norbury Church. With a car, you will make the most out of the area with quicker access to the surrounding villages and sites. I would recommend taking a bike as we found the nearby roads are perfect for a bike ride. Overall a fantastic and well needed stay, we truly wish the best for the owners on their future endeavours. Thankyou!

  Beautiful accommodation in great location, lovely estate staff, and full marks to the housekeeper as the cottage was absolutely spotless. As others have said, it is just off the A5 but the slight sound of traffic was minimal and in no way intrusive. Meal at the Granary was excellent. The only major drawback was the excessive heat in the lounge/kitchen in the afternoons and evenings - for privacy and for keeping out the sun some curtains/bliinds are sorely in need on the entrance doors (screens are provided but are rather small and don't cover the door area very well). Take a fan (or two) if staying in the summer, especially in the sort of heat we've had recently! Also no DVD player which would be a really great addition and cheap to address.

  Excellent holiday from start to finish.

  Keith and Dawn went above and beyond making our stay so enjoyable they were always up for a chat with plenty of good advice on where to go and what to do.Springfield annex was very tastefully decorated and furnished and equipped to a high standard. The grounds were beautiful to sit out in of an evening after returning from our days out watching the ducks on their pond and the horse in the field. The annex is within walking distance of the canal where you can walk along to Norbury junction and Gnowsle . Maybe taking a drink or a meal at the pubs on route. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay in Shropshire and Sprngfield Annex. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.
