A lovely cottage in a beautiful remote area, felt at home as soon as I entered.. Will be returning.

Mrs Lloyd, August 2020

This cottage is an absolute gem, myself and 2 children aged 17 and 4 went there and it exceeded all our expectations.. Inside it’s lovely rustic beams and charm make it so cosy and every room has just what you need. The views and location are perfect for visiting and exploring the hills of Shrophsire and there are walls out the front door. It was clean and the owner went above and beyond to make it a very special holiday , highly recommended.

Stayed here recently and had the most wonderful time. The setting is perfect with glorious views and the fabulous town of Ludlow close by. The hosts were very helpful and friendly indeed and made our stay most enjoyable. The Coach House is beautiful and cosy - my only slight issue was the shower over the bath being hand held but as this was clearly stated on the website I had no complaints. Will definitely be returning soon!

Lovely position, a very comfortable stay..

Mr Crichton

It was the perfect cottage.. Warm, spotless and spacious. Comfortable beds. Safe parking. Walks on the doorstep and a super hostess/owner.

The only problem that we encountered was with the bath/shower.. This is accurately portrayed in the photograph, but anyone who is very tall/ not so nimble will encounter difficulties with the triangular bath under a low sloping ceiling. It is difficult to shower or bathe properly. The owners' family were lovely - very hospitable. We had an excellent week walking the hills and visiting Ludlow, Stokesay and Ironbridge.

Mr Cooper

Lovely accommodation, everthing you would expect to find.. Friendly owners who are really accommodating. Great place to stay but not in walking distance to shops, pubs or restaurants. We only went for three days so it didn't bother us. We explored a different place each day so it was nice to get back to The Coach House and chill out. Would go again.

Mr Maddison

We were made very welcome.. The owners even made a cake for us ,its these little things that make a holiday great

The property listing indicates that a pub is less than 1 mile away and an 11 minute walk.. This is very misleading. The nearest pub is 1.1 miles from the property but more importantly is a 25 minute walk away and there are elevation changes on the route so the walk is a good deal less than leisurely. The claimed proximity of a pub was an essential factor in the selection and booking of this property.

Arrived to a very friendly welcome and homemade coffee cake waiting for us in the kitchen! Gorgeous cottage and perfect for dogs as the garden is enclosed and a great sun trap The owners were so friendly and welcoming and gave us tips on where to go and what to do in the area. Perfect spot for anyone taking their dog as there are plenty of walks and dog friendly places to eat and drink. We will definitely stay here again in the future when we visit Ludlow. With its own log burner and cosy cottage feel, it would be perfect for a winter getaway. The only downside about this long weekend break was that it wasn’t long enough and we wished we could have stayed longer!

We enjoyed our holiday based in Knowbury at The Coach House.. Most of the cottage was very comfortable and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful. However any tall person, particularly those who prefer a shower to a bath and particularly men, should read the small print carefully and note that the bathroom is not really convenient for them.

Fab cottage with everything you could ask for.. ..great location...we arrived to fresh flowers and a home cooked banana cake which gave us an immediate clue as to the hospitality and care shown by our hosts Octavia and Jeremy.

One picture made it look like 2 sofas in living room which we prefer but only 1.. Not sure if furniture has been changed or Way picture was taken No welcome pack privided( first time ever in holiday we have booked with you) Description says shower over bath which is true but doesn’t state that you can’t stand up in bath to use shower. You have to sit in the bath (which wasn’t a full size bath). Had we taken my elderly parents with us they would not have been able to have a shower for 7 days. Only 3 teaspoons provided in kitchen No baking trays provided for cooking and no other dishes suitable for oven (this was a self catering property and as such these are basics). Dishwasher provided but only 4 dishwasher tablets for 4 days. Washing machine provided but no washing powder/liquid, etc. In all your other properties we have stayed if equipment like this is provided so are the items needed to use them. If coach house owners not providing these things it should’ve put in description then things can be brought from home rather than having to go out and buy them Towels in bathroom very small and very rough/hard. Have been used/washed so many times no writing left on labels. Need replacing. Hand towels, bath towels and bath mat all different colours - felt like they were just things owners had finished with themselves rather than something for guests. Definitely not the same standard as other 4 tick/star properties we have booked through you (we only use your company for holidays in this country and found this property was inferior to all the others we hVe stayed in with the same rating). Lots of little things missing which overall spoilt the whole experience

The hosts were great, showing me the cottage and the garden, their dog Juno got on great with Bramble.. It was a holiday that I would like to return to in the future.

Booked for a short notice family week away in Shropshire, I can thoroughly recommend the Coach House. Very comfortable to stay, excellently hosted. Well equipped. We had a really comfortable week away, there is bucket loads to see in the local area or failing that beautiful walks literally on the door step. Accommodation is of a very high standard.

We recently returned from a perfect new year away at the Coach House. The location is very quiet with beautiful scenery perfect for walks in the surrounding countryside. The building is annexed from the owners property which we found convenient when we checked in and had questions. The owners are very friendly and relaxed, with great communication prior to arrival. The cottage itself is very pretty and well equipped, the photos are an accurate representation. We were a party of 2 however there is sufficient space for 4 comfortably. Generally there is plenty of space however the bath is fairly small and there is no shower, however given the space constraints in the bathroom there is no real way to improve on this. In any case it was certainly no major problem. We would definitely stay here again and would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful dog friendly cottage. Owners are extremely helpful and very approachable. The cottage is well furnished and very comfortable. The area around Ludlow is beautiful and Ludlow is a vibrant market town. The owners have a dog of their own who is also very friendly and loved playing with our dog. We are hoping to return next summer.
