What an incredibly beautiful place! Our host and hostess are the most delightful people and have done so much to make our stay enjoyable. The views of the Shropshire hills are spectacular and located in a spot within easy reach of amenities. We were warmly greeted with delicious eats placed thoughtfully in our delightful cottage, as well as many information leaflets on all the interesting places to visit. The peace, tranquillity and friendliness have left us refreshed , with lovely memories. The cottage is fully equipped and decorated with care. Highly recommended.

I have already told you that we did not stop at Ryelands Cottage.. It was not available and I was promised call back etc. Nothing happened and the only further contact has been these follow up surveys. I really do feel that you need to work on your customer service. So far we have found it totally negligent. I would like hear from someone at Sykes, not a computer.

Had a lovely time.. The playground was great for our two grandchildren. Although we knew we would be attached, we hadn't realised it was a small complex and the children riding past our French window was not what we had expected. Also when next door smoked outside, the smell came through our open windows. That said, we would return but the cottage had no tumblers, only wine glasses. Also a jug for water would have been useful. Perfectly situated for getting around the area.

Mr Lyons

Compact but very comfortable cottage in a quiet location surrounded by open fields.. Nice added touches provided by owner. Ample space to exercise dog. Brochure description is slightly misleading as there are more properties than listed. Not a problem for our visit but a clearer description would avoid potential misunderstandings. Ideal location for walks including Kinver Edge, Ellesmere Lakes and canal, Wenlock Edge, the Long Mynd, with walk along streams and waterfall in Carding Mill Valley, and woods at Lower Whitcliffe.

Mr Aston

Margaret is a lovely lady and could not have made us more welcome.. She is very thoughtful and the welcome pack was most appreciated.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable with all kitchen equipment and facilities.. It was very tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and we were impressed and very happy with the cottage. It is a very quiet and serene location with nothing but the sound of skylarks and other birdsong, bleating sheep etc. Margaret was very friendly, kind and helpful. There was a very generous provision of welcome gifts incuding cakes, chocolates etc and some useful things like salt and pepper, toilet rolls, cooking oil etc without looking at all cluttered and messy.

Ryeland's Barn is extremely pleasant with very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and spotlessly clean.. We had a warm and friendly welcome from Margaret & Family resulting in a very relaxing week. David & Mollie

The cottage is small but very cosy and practical.. It suited us well as we were on a walking holiday and it is a great base for some good walks (Ironbridge, Wrekin, Wenlock Edge etc). It was nice to be able to bring our small (and well behaved!) dog and to feel she was welcome and not seen as a nuisance. It provided a very good short break, it was easy to find and a nice location with views of the Shropshire rolling landscape and well positioned on a working farm. Probably best for 2 or 3 - too small for more or for boisterous children!

The oven could do with a clean.. The dishwasher needed fixing, the owner said he was going to sort that. The shoe storage cupboard was very dirty. Could of done with a downstairs loo. One of the settee the springs had gone. Could of done with a feather duster too. Very friendly. Just needed a bit of tlc. People abuse things and I like perfection. I’m a fussy person. The barn was lovely. The kitchen was well equipped, had a fridge freezer, washer, dishwasher all the cooking stuff you could want, even cook books! and we had a lovely welcome pack. Plenty of towels and a brand new washer, which came in handy. Who wants to go away and wash? Me. The lambs were gorgeous. It was lovely seeing the chickens and the views were outstanding. Well presented and a great relaxing holiday. Not a holiday if your looking for excitement, it’s so very relaxing. The bedrooms were fabulous.
