The location is great - the house used to be the station and trains still run next to it. Mostly two or three carriage passenger trains which disappear in a few seconds. Only longer and slightly noisier goods trains take longer than a flash! The grandchildren loved having a train set just outside and it really is not that loud. But the best bit for them was the games room! We were so glad that the owners kept the toys out and especially the air hockey. They loved it - and so did we! So many places have gone nuts over COVID - and this shows how you should do it. The house had plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. The lounge has a good size TV - not that we had time to view much - there is so much to see: Ironbridge Gorge (with ten museums including the wonderful Blists Hill Village), Cosford RAF Museum, Shrewsbury - we even ventured to Chester (an hour away)! We stayed for a week - Friday to Friday (the best handover dates) - and loved it! Thoroughly recommended!

3 generation of our family enjoyed a super weekend here.. Sue, the owner, could not have been more helpful. The house was spotless, the kitchen very well equipped and the games room was a godsend for our two young grandchildren because the weather was not too kind. We would certainly stay here again if in the area.

We had a fantastic stay at the Station House.. The house was extremely well equipped in all areas and beds were comfortable. Our children really enjoyed the play room which had a wonderful array of toys for all ages from baby toys to wooden train sets and lego and even an air hockey table and X-box for older children. The house was very spacious with plenty of living accommodation for a large group to spread out across and was spotlessly clean. The train track does run right past the back of the house and the trains pass quite frequently. This was pointed out in the cottage details so was not a surprise and in fact the noise didn't bother us at all and seeing the trains whiz past while we were eating only added to the excitement for the children. We would highly recommend this cottage!

A friend booked this place for a long weekend in Shropshire (9 of us). Really nice place to stay, a great location for exploring South Shropshire (we did Church Stretton, Ludlow, Ironbridge and Shrewsbury). And I particularly liked being next to the railway, but I guess the clue is in the name, We will be back but next time for a lot longer.

As usual, Sykes Cottages support during the booking process and leading up to the holiday was great, arranging a high chair and a cot on our behalf.. When we arrived at Station House, the property was all we could have wished. It was the perfect venue for our short break with all our family, with a games room complete with lots of games, a large lounge for chilling out, a formal dining room for large family meal times and a well equipped family kitchen for preparing large meals. Upstairs there was plenty of comfortable bedrooms and enough bathrooms to go around. Station House itself has a long history dating back to 1852, including 106 years as a railway station and although it still sits on the train line, the traffic was light and actually added to the excitement of our grandchildren and fun of the adults. It certainly did not spoil the tranquility of the setting in a beautiful part of Shropshire, complete with great walking and hiking all around.

Our weekend was fantastic.. The cottage is wonderful and so well equipped as a holiday let. The only suggestion would be to provide information in the folder about recycling. Many thanks Best wishes
