Refreshing to find the accommodation and setting was just as described.. Just what we needed to get away from all the covid chaos at home. Lovely hosts who go above and beyond for their guests. We will definitely return for a longer stay next year.

Mrs Blount, September 2020

We stayed in the coachouse for a week with our 3 young children - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the kids really loved the lake and birdwatching hut! They spent hours on end playing in the fields and especially the tennis court. The location is perfect as it is just a short drive into Shrewsbury or Church Stretton and amazing for country walks. The owners are really nice and very helpful - we even arrived to a cake in the fridge!! All in all we had a great time and we will be returning soon.

A beautiful, spacious cottage but with a homely feel and very comfortable.. Convenient for visiting all areas around Shrewsbury. Lovely grounds which we were unable to use to full advantage as the weather was limiting. Loved it.

Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Not far from lots of attractions and lovely walks. Beautiful grounds to enjoy tennis, fishing and exploring! Very clean and tidy and flowers and cake on arrival from very friendly owners.

Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location.. Don't usually go back to the same place twice but would make an exception here! Very friendly and welcoming owner, use of the 22 acres which my son loved exploring!

Mr Peterson

We really enjoyed our two week stay at The Coach House. The owners were very friendly and approachable. This property is ideally suited to families, with a big area available to be explored around the farm and in the woodland area. The house was warm and cosy and just a short drive from Shrewsbury. A real home away from home in a lovely location.

Mrs Mitchell

A lovely rural location with ample attractive grounds, a tennis court and a large yet cosy country kitchen. The property is close to the main road into Shrewsbury with many places of interest nearby. The owners were friendly.

Shropshire is a beautiful county and The Coach House was the perfect base for exploring it. My daughter (15 months) loved seeing the sheep every morning and particularly enjoyed collecting eggs one afternoon.

Delightful, cosy cottage in secluded spot, well furnished and appointed and good parking facilities. Beautiful location, owners could not be more accommodating or friendly. Lovely walks close by and great place from which to explore the area. Note this is advertised as not having internet connection but there is free wifi in several places in Shrewsbury.

We had a fantastic time at The Coach House. The owners were very welcoming and the location was fantastic! The photos didn't do the place justice, they were amazing but in reality the whole place was even better than we expected.

Mrs Harris

July 2014

Fantastic cottage, great location, very peaceful but with amenities near by. Two young children loved it, especially the piano and the tennis court. Very well equipped, delicious cakes awaited us and the owner is lovely. Even taking the children to collect the eggs. Would highly recommend this cottage.

Very friendly owners, a welcoming cake, very comfortable and peaceful property and a private fishing lake - excellent property.

Close enough to a town but far enough into rural Shropshire, this cottage was an absolute delight. We were greeted with an immaculate and pretty cottage in super grounds. There was even a plate of tray bakes in the fridge which didn't last long at all! Our two very young children loved the place and we were made to feel very welcome by the owners, who even took us egg hunting in their hen enclosure - my three year old daughter has not stopped talking about this or about Stanley the peacock. The rooms were a perfect size, the facilities fabulous and the beds very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone and will in fact return regularly when time permits!

Mr Bryson

Everything was great!

Mrs Ellis

We loved the cake on the table and milk in the fridge when we arrived. The cottage was very peaceful and private despite being next door to the owners. The cottage was very warm which was a bonus in April.

We particularly chose this property because it has its own fishing lake, so my husband was highly delighted as he caught lots of fish the weather was excellent. The property was in a nice location and the owners friendly making guests welcome with a lovely cake on arrival.

August 2011

Mr Donnachie

Mr Beasley

A beautiful tranquil spot and pleasant cottage. The welcoming flowers and chocolate treats were very nice. Shrewsbury is a delightful medieval town with beautiful parks and gardens. We loved Blists Hill at Ironbridge and climbing the stiperstones.

Excellent location for a quiet break yet within easy distance of a multitude of varying sights and experiences.Cottage has use of lovely garden and the owner living next door was friendly and helpful.

Lovely, peaceful surroundings and great for children as long as they are supervised around the lake.

Mrs Miller

October 2010

The homemade cake left for us, the fresh vegetables we could buy from our hosts, together with of course more home made cakes. The fishing was good - tench etc caught - water deceptively deep. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with absolutely NO noise apart from the odd horse going by.

Mr Baker

We went to the Coachhouse for Xmas. We were very impressed with the house and friendly owners. We had a great time. Very good quiet location but close enough to Shrewsbury when necessary. No complaints at all. Would not hesitate to recommend it.
