A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
Beautiful, well appointed 3 bedroom cottage set in an idyllic area. The attention to detail in the fittings is really appreciated and thoughtful touches throughout for both children and adults. So much to do in the local area, ideal place to explore the welsh borders and lovely walks in the locality.
Lovely Holiday Home - From Home Character Cottage. Would suit everyone, as it had a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room. Beautifully restored from being an old coaching house , features retained to enhance. Exceptionally warm with constant hot water and heating if required.We were luck with the weeks weather and enjoyed our day out visits to Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry etc, Very peaceful and tranquil location away from main roads, lots of bird variety and good walks. Short walk to the Severn River, passing beautiful cottages and houses along the way. Field within 200 yards to exercise doggies was a bonus for our two dogs. All in all a most wonderful holiday accommodation requiring nothing other than yourselves.The owners who live adjacent should be proud of the standard and were most helpful. Fresh eggs and milk on arrival was a very nice bonus.
Situated down a quiet country lane yet easy to access the A5 to explore further in to the county or Wales - Powys Castle is a wonderful place to soak up history and nature and just a 30 minute drive. The cottage is very well equipped, very clean and comfortable - there are many ways to enjoy the Old Coach House both inside and out. There are quiet country lanes and bridleways to explore and miles of lovely scenery. It is a place you will want to return as we intend to!
The cottage was immaculately clean and all the fixtures and fittings were of a very high standard. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the paraphernalia one could hope for and more. A wonderful property and an excellent holiday base.
Great cottage in a great location. Old Coach House had everything you could want and need and more.
The cottage was in a friendly village. It was very well equipped and comfortable with a very good efficient log burner. It was pet friendly and near to the A5, making the property very accessible for all of the surrounding areas. I would recommend and return.
This was the perfect place for our girly weekend. We had a great time and the property is gorgeous.
This is a superb property in a great location. Everything works well and is very comfortable - the kitchen and lounge are fantastic. We had a great time.
The cottage was perfectly located only a few miles from the A5, with access to many Shropshire market towns whilst being situated in a quiet rural hamlet with heaps of dog walks from the door. The accommodation suited our needs perfectly as there was a downstairs bedroom with en-suite shower room which suited my 79 year old mother perfectly.
An extremely well equipped property in a secluded area - peaceful and tranquil.
Lovely location and great accommodation. Would definitely book again if we are heading that way in the future.
The Old Coach House is beautiful, finished to a very high standard, furnished comfortably and very well-equipped. Warm, friendly, helpful welcome. Perfect location for our early Christmas family gathering, peaceful with numerous walking routes.
This is our 5th time to this property and we love the house and the surroundings.
Beautiful house, it was spacious and light. The kitchen was well equipped, had everything we needed and the owner was very friendly and helpful.
It was a comfortable relaxing cottage. The kitchen is the best room because it was big enough to cook and then eat all together at the table.
Great property - superb conversion and very comfortable. Very peaceful and restful location - very relaxing Very welcoming - owners friendly and helpful but not intrusive.
The accommodation was perfect, spacious and very well equipped. We walked mainly at Nesscliffe which is a 15 minute drive away and would recommend this area for walkers.
A wonderful property in a wonderful location. Located in a quiet rural hamlet but only ten minutes from Shrewsbury.
Central for the area, this property will spoil us for anywhere else it was so good.
The location was peaceful and quiet. The accommodation very good with plenty of space..just the job!
Beautiful cottage that was well equipped and spacious. Peaceful and attractive location. Welcoming hosts.
My husband and I stayed in this cottage for a week in late September 2013. This is the perfect cottage to relax and chill out. It is down a quiet country lane, but only a short distance from the A5 main road, gateway to all Shropshire has to offer. It is very well equiped, the kitchen is awsome, bedrooms bright and airy, comfortable beds. plenty of fresh towels, large lounge. We were lucky enough to have nice warm weather, so sat out on the patio overlooking the well the kept garden, had a visit from the resident chickens each day, so sweet. It would accommodate a family of 6 quiet comfortably. Very warm welcome from the owners, who kindly left eggs, milk, fruit etc for us. Thank you much appreciated Amazing. We will definately go back, the sooner the better.
Cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and very roomy with everything that you ought to need.We were lucky enough to have splendid weather and so able to sit outside in the sunshine. You have to be careful that the chickens don't come into the house though! The location means lots of interesting places are not very far away (various National Trust places and interesting Market towns etc). The owner was very helpful in suggesting places to go to eat - and the portions you get tend to be 'huge'. I'd imagine the walking and cycling from the cottage are great as it is flat there - but that was something that we were unable to do this time. I'd love to go here again.It was a real bonus having a bedroom downstairs with its own shower room - which is very suitable for an older or disabled person. .
Wonderful property, we loved it and would strongly recommend to a family or a group of adults as we were. Very friendly and helpful owners living next door. Couldn't fault it.
Lovely cottage, splendid weather (a definite bonus!), and ideal location for lots of things within an hour away - to suit all sorts of different tastes (NT / English Heritage, steam trains and canals, cycling and walks, market towns, Ironbridge etc).
We spent a week in this cottage with our daughter, son in law and twelve month old granddaughter. We could not have wished for a more comfortable or well equipped cottage. The owner lives only yards away and we knew we could call on him if we needed anything but did not feel observed. Being SHROPSHIRE born and bred we knew the countryside around the cottage but for anyone new to the delights of Shropshire there are lots of places to explore. Our week was only marred by the weather being so cold. It would be a lovely place to go in the summertime.
We rented the cottage for a week in January in order to be close to family that live nearby, we had a fabulous stay! The cottage is incredibly well equipped, tastefully decorated and a great location just ouside of Shrewbury, it also offers exceptionally good value for money for the standard of accommodation offered. We loved the single mattresses/duvets in the master bedroom ensuring we slept very well. The kitchen/dining room is very spacious and we loved entertaining there. Jamie was at all times very helpful and friendly. The dogs were very comfortable and loved their walks in the field just down the road, as well as the Quarry. Perhaps a small area in the garden safe for the dogs to go out for their last wee of the evening, would be the only small improvement we can suggest.
We stayed in Sykes cottage over Christmas 2012. The interior ofthe property was clean, cosy and fitted out to a high standard. I had been nervous about the prospect of cooking a Christmas dinner in a "holiday home". I need not have been concerned - the kitchen has double oven and large american style fridge freezer. The living room was cosy, with log burner belting out the heat required at this time of year. The accomodation is in a rural setting but only 5 miles from Shrewsbury, which is great for shopping and restaurants. We had a great stay, only negative was a loss of electricity due to fuse blowing and it not being re-settable from cottage, only from main house. However, owners sorted this out quickly.
We stayed at this property over Christmas 2012. The kitchen was incredibly well-equipped. The owners had placed a decorated Christmas tree with lights in the lounge and made it a real home from home. We were given access to logs for the wood burning stove and had chestnuts roasting in there. It was a beautiful, tasteful conversion that provided a great Christmas break, away from it all.
The accommodation was warm and comfortable, all finished to a high standard and well kept. The area is perfect for anyone wanting a quiet relaxing break without feeling isolated. Plenty of good walks to take the dogs on. The countryside was turned into a winter wonderland due to the heavy frost we had most of the week, making a perfect atmosphere for our pre Christmas stay. The owners were helpful and welcoming, ensuring that any needs we had during our stay were met, without being intrusive.
A lovely house in a lovely location, handy for Shrewsbury and with easy access to nice days out. Standard of the conversion of this property was excellent.
Lovely location and high quality accommodation, with friendly owners.
Accommodation was first rate and in some instances better than in my own house! You need to drive everywhere, but with the scenery available, that's not a problem.
All the fittings were of a high quality. We had everything we needed in this very comfortable cottage.
Stunning location, very friendly and helpful owners, I have three children and stayed there with my grandparents and dog - plenty of space and felt like a luxury break! Would recommend and already have recommended this place to our friends without reservation. Looking forward to going back!
A high spec cottage, and very comfortable. Great location for walks with plenty of places for our dog to go off lead ( closest the Millenium field just 50 or so yards away!). Very quiet area - we loved it!
Really enjoyed the stay at this cottage. It has the cottage charm with all the mod cons and home comforts,. Lovely quiet village setting and the bonus of nearby stables - my little boy had a fantastic time feeding the horse every day and there were toys for his age group which was the cherry on the cake (if the kids are having a good time, makes it so much easier for mum and dad). The cottage owners were great really pleasant family and very helpful (without being intrusive). Finally thought the geographical location was great to explore shropshire - shewsbury was within an easy distance (with a car). Also lots of great nearby national trust and countryside.
Ideal location, very quiet and good walks from door. Great place within 50 yards for exercising the dog off the lead. Nearby National Trust and other places in easy reach.
The house was spacious, clean and a great kitchen. Wonderful property and location. There were five of us and we did not feel crowded at all. Thank you for a great place to start our stay in the UK.
Everything about the cottage was superb! We have stayed in many cottages and this was by far the best.
Excellent location, quiet yet comvenient for loads of attractions, loved the chickens and horse, apples wern't ready!
Very helpful host. Safe environment for kids and lovely to have farm animals on site. Excellent location. Great local pub and near many great family attractions.
Fantastic property, beautifully converted and in a great location.
Beautifully renovated cottage with wooden floors, outstanding kitchen and log burner set in a idyllic part of the countryside with access to walks and cycle paths.
The cottage was extremely well equipped and our little one loved all the toys.
Decoration and style was exactly what we look for in a property. Excellent location for what we wanted. Friendly and helpful owners. But importantly dog friendly!
This is certainly one of the best houses I have ever stayed in - and I've stayed in a lot!!! Beautifully laid out, very warm and welcoming, spacious and comfortable. Excellent location - perfect for dog walking. Host very welcoming and informative - all in all the perfect stay!
The standard and location of the property were really excellent. The Coach House was very comfortable, clean and finished to a high standard. All four generations of our family, aged from 0 to 81 years felt very at home there. I was particularly impressed with how child friendly the accommodation was, right down to the availability of a stair gate and boxes of toys. The host was very friendly and helpful too.
The fact that it felt instantly like a home from home. It was very welcoming and warm as it was -5 plus outside at night. Only thing missing was a rolling pin, but don't worry we downed a bottle of white wine and improvised with the bottle!
The Old Coach House was a real home from home. It had everything we needed and more. Our hosts were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend the cottage and would love to stay there again. Picture perfect!
The Old Coach House was excellent with plenty of space and good location for getting around Shropshire and also possibly into Wales. Very well equipped and immaculately kept, we highly recommend it. We went in December and the Old Coach House was always warm with excellent views, it must be amazing in Summer. The owners were particularly friendly and helpful.
The owners have carried out a high standard but sympathetic conversion of a Grade 2 listed coach house to provide an excellent but very cosy cottage. The best we have stayed in. The wood burner was just right for those cold winter nights. A very quiet relaxing area but plenty to do within a short distance. 5 stars - highly recommended.
It was fantastic! Location, and the cottage itself was just as promised. Wonderful fire, fully equipped with games, books, DVDs, CDs, even candles, plus it was dog friendly. It was a lovely weekend and we shall absolutely be returning. It is unusual to find somewhere that delivered far more than was promised, great though that was. Brilliant!
Perfect location, lovely and quiet, yet within easy driving distance of Shrewsbury and Oswestry.
We had a lovely time in the cottage, it was very clean and comfortable. Beautiful location and very welcoming atmosphere.
Stunning accommodation situated in a ideal location for the activities we wanted to do. Very friendly owner who guided us through the property and local amenities. Wonderful holiday - looking forward to returning next year. Thank you to Sykes and our host.
Very very clean and thoughtfully furnished with all one could need. Lovely cottage, we would recommend to all our friends.
We loved the property and the generous hosts putting eggs and milk in the fridge etc trying to make our first day as easy as possible. We had arrived from the USA that morning so were thrilled to see the staples there in the cottage. Makes the self catering so much easier. We could just chill out in the little garden. Luckily for us the weather was very good when we stayed there. We would like to go back in the future and have told friends about it.
The Old Coach House was a very comfortable, clean and homely environment. The furnishings were to a very high standard. The Old Coach House is in a very quiet area but plenty to do in the surrounding towns and villages. Lovely relaxing week away.
A beautiful coach house in a lovely location. Exceptional quality and spacious accommodation. Friendly welcome too.
We received a very warm welcome and the standard of the property was very high.
Excellent, equipped very well - very friendly owners.
Exactly as described, the property was beautiful, owners very helpful and friendly, a brilliant welcome pack, with eggs and milk too. Delightful area, peace and tranquility.
The tranquility and closeness to beautiful places, the helpfulness and friendliness of the owners, the well appointed kitchen, utilities and facilities and the wireless broadband facility.
We have used numerous other holiday cottage companies in the past and stumbled across this one, it is obvious how you rate a property is of a higher standard as we chose this cottage on what rating we usually would chose and this cottage was far and above superior than we have used in the past. The owners of the property and yourselves have done a great job.
The warm welcome and helpfulness of owners. Very comfortable and nice area, very very clean.
I was really impressed with the quality of the whole cottage. No expense had been spared. I will thoroughly recommend this to my friends.
