The Schoolhouse Brewhouse

We enjoyed a great few days at The Schoolhouse Brewhouse.

The property is clean and comfortable and very well equipped. The hot tub was much appreciated by the younger members of our party and charging the car was straightforward and free! Adrian made us welcome and was very informative about the local area.

really excellent.

the owner goes the extra mile, and helped us out on numerous occasions . very comfortable accommodation, perfect location

This is a lovely first floor apartment, accessible without steps.

It has a large, open plan lounge with a small kitchen area and dining table and chairs. Both bedrooms are comfortable, a double with en-suite and twin with bathroom right across the corridor. The garden was a pleasant area with hot tub which was fairly private. There is some road noise but the garden area is screened by bushes. The location is really handy for the town centre. Bishop's Castle is an interesting place with brightly coloured houses and shops. The apartment is at the top of town, where the castle once was and there is a partially steep hill down to the bottom of town where the church sits. Great places to eat nearby, within 100 metres or so. The Castle Hotel does a great Sunday roast. An Indian, Chinese and Fish & Chips takeaways and a spinkling of pubs and cafes. Lots of pleasant walks from the doorstep contained on leaflets provided. We tried a couple and found them to be accurate and very scenic. Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Montgomery are all worth a visit and vary between 30 to 50 minutes drive away. Finally, Adrian is a very attentive, yet discrete host. Had a great time, no rain and pretty sunny at times.

This was a delightful, relaxing break.

Adrian, our host, was most welcoming and provided lots of information about Bishops Castle, which was an interesting place to explore and so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed using the hot tub and wandering around the lovely garden at the Old Schoolhouse. This was a unique place, with an fascinating history, which we hope to visit again. The surrounding countryside is some of the loveliest in the UK and there are many pretty towns and villages to explore. It was great, Thanks Adrian!

The cottage was ideally located to explore Bishops Castle on foot and was warm, comfortable and well equipped.

Adrian was an excellent and very informative host, meeting us on arrival, and quickly responded to any queries. We could recommend the Schoolhouse Brewhouse and would come again if returning to Bishops Castle.

Great location to explore the interesting town of bishops castle and wider Shropshire hills area.

The apartment was comfortable and simple with great additional facilities of EV charging, hot tub and tennis court which we made great use of. The owner was incredibly friendly and was always around if needed.

Great property in a great location.

Really enjoyed our stay.

My family and I spent a glorious, sublime few days in this peaceful apartment, making full use of the hot tub.

We had all we needed, everything was very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. The car stayed parked for the whole duration as we explored Bishop's Castle on foot. We renamed this ancient, tranquil Shropshire village BC - Before Clocks, as the whole atmosphere is very laid back. Particularly enjoyed the garden, The Three Tuns' excellent food and the soaring red kite whilst viewed from the hot tub. We would definitely return and hope to next year. Thank you so much Adrian for the gift of total relaxation.

It is a beautiful property in a lovely area.

The house had everything you could possibly need and the hot tub was amazing! Adrian visited us during our stay and was such a lovely man, knowledgeable and maintaining the property. We only stayed a short time but would definitely think about returning sometime for longer.

An outstanding property.

Comfortable and easy to access,

Good morning We had a lovely stay at school house brewhouse, feel it's very basic,maintenance outside could have been better, the old top off the hot tub was shoved behind a tree, the sail above the hot tub was hanging down and looked as if it was full of either leaves or water,owner assured us it wasn't ,there was netting as you come out the door which needs changing for Privacy,the bedding was all colours,although it was clean,it would be nicer all white, all In all,we enjoyed our stay.

We had a fabulous time , the hot tub was a bonus and the property had everything you needed and was spotless.

The owner was there to greet us and told us information about the town and recommendations he was very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be booking again as it’s the perfect place to chill .

Everything was as listed.

Very comfortable plenty of space, all one level, parking, kitchen and bathrooms very good.

The holiday cottage was lovely.

Adrian came to meet us on our arrival. He told us about the village and the places to eat and drink. We went to the open market which they hold once a year. Fantastic. The hot tub was the big bonus we used it every day smashing. Adrian checked on us and we said everything was fine. Would recommend this cottage to anyone. We are going back next year See you next year Adrian

Can’t fault the flat and Adrian the is very knowledgable on the area.

Everything from walks, cycle routes, shops and food. He seemed to appear if we had a question but equally never noticed him otherwise. Flat is quiet and private and everything easy too find and use and laid out very well. Highly recommend for cycling although always a bit of climb start and finish.

We really enjoyed our stay here.

The hot tub and garden are lovely and Adrian was a kind and helpful owner. We appreciated the electric car charger. Bishop's Castle is a great little town with lots of facilities.

We had a lovely stay.

The apartment is very family friendly. Little things such as children’s plastic plates and cutlery are a huge help. Access to a hose for cleaning walking boots, games and puzzles (which we got stuck into!) and an abundance of maps available for walking. Shops and eating amenities walking distance. The hot tub was fantastic after a big climb up the hills. Adrian was lovely and very helpful. No issues at all, would highly recommend and hope to visit again. EV charging out in the country was a huge attraction to us! It allowed us to explore further. The whole family loved this stay! Thank you :)

A lovely apartment with a fantastic picture window with the added bonus of a hot tub.

We had a very comfortable week.

The property was very comfortable and well equipped.

The owner was readily available should we have had any problems or questions. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

Excellent property and location could not find fault.

It was as described on web site. Owner provided good information on house and the area. Some very good recommendations.

We have had a perfect stay at the cottage.

On arrival, the owner greeted us and provided us with knowledgeable information about the area. The cottage is very spacious and homely with everything you need to hand. The vast selection of board games came in useful as unfortunately we had a lot of rain but still managed to make good use of the tennis courts and hot tub! Bishops Castle centre is a 2 minute walk and has an exceptional pub and hotel close where the serve very good food.

Lovely property and surrounding area.

Owner very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend and would hope to return in the future

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Owner met us at the property and went through everything with us. Lovely man and knowledgeable about the area. The property is very well equipped and spacious for us 4 adults (2 couples). Beds were very comfortable (for us) with spotlessly clean bedding and towels provided. Hot tub was amazing - we made very good use of this! Welcoming local pubs - serving food-within a few minutes walking distance. Private garden lovely to relax in and just listen to the birdsong. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing break and were very happy with everything. If there is one thing that could be improved upon then the shower cubicles need a bit of TLC around the bases i.e. the sealant around the trays needs to be replaced. The showers themselves were just fine - it’s just a finer point perhaps to note for the future. We would certainly visit again ☺️

Great property, very clean, very comfortable and everything you need for a comfy relaxing break.

The owner was ovely, showed us everything around. We are considering coming back - one of the better places we stayed at.

We had a lovely few days at the Schoolhouse Brewhouse.

The owner was welcoming and helpful and the property had all we needed. The garden and hot tub provided a perfect place to relax after being out and about in the beautiful Shropshire countryside. Bishops Castle is a delightful village with great pubs and cafes, interesting independent shops and an excellent base for exploring further afield. Perfect for a countryside holiday whatever your interests, this holiday home has something for everyone. I'd not hesitate to return.

An absolutely thoroughly enjoyable and delightful little holiday, complimented by a genuine grade A host.

Excellent host.

Great position for all amenities.

Lovely place and ideal for walking into bishops castle and nice walks from cottage.

Lovely hot tub was a bonus. Adrian very friendly and helpful. Will return in future fir another visit

we had a brilliant cottage everything we needed was supplied the hot tub was outstanding constant hot water all day and night .

the owners always on hand if there were any problems but there were none.

Apartment was lovely and central for exploring area, was very well equipped with everything you needed.

Hot tub was fantastic. Owner made us feel most welcome.

Needs a little TLC on the site.

Awesome venue, amazing holiday.

Spacious and comfortable accommodation, very well equipped.

The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The decor and furniture is rather dated, but that didn’t detract from our really enjoyable experience and we would stay there again. It was lovely to have the garden, hot tub and tennis court which we used every day. The house is in a prime location and the village is lovely, with plenty of pubs serving good food. There is lots to see and do in the local area and there are some nice walks from the house. The house owner, Adrian is friendly and helpful.

The cottage is in a superb location close to the Three Tuns and Castle pubs in Bishop's Castle.

There is a large window with a partial view of Long Mynd which was nice to stare at. Furnishings are ok if a little dated but beds are comfortable and the owner is friendly and helpful. He was very apologetic that the dishwasher broke down on the third day of our stay but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone else as he was going to replace it! Just unlucky for us! The whole area is superb for walking and touring round and we may well return!

Our stay was great , just what was needed.

The advert was what was expected and delivered, all the facilities were there just a little dated, the shower cubicles had alittle mould and the hot tub was a bit old and rickety but still did most of the jobs well and was a good temperature, hard work to take the cover on and off. But all and all a nice couple of nights stay.

Very good location with shops, pub and restaurants near by and a relaxed atmosphere the owner was friendly and available had a nice week

Great stay And friendly landlord

Sykes were very helpful finding two adjacent properties for us as we had to social distance with our daughters who were visiting with us.

Adrian, the owner, could not have been more helpful and we enjoyed our stay very much, particularly the hot tub!

Cottage with great view to Long Mynd from the large window in the main room.

Good sized accommodation for four with all facilities including hot tub in the garden. Only a hundred yards or so from the High Street including the excellent Castle hotel, Three Tuns pub/brewery and the take away. It was my third holiday in or by Bishop's Castle - an historic small town in the wonderful Shropshire Hills. A deeply rural and scenic area. Easy also for mid-Wales. Friendly owner of the property. A great corner of this fascinating town.

Its always a pleasure to stay here.

My wife and I have stayed here 4 times and it's never disappointed. There's pubs and restaurants/ takeaways within a couple of minutes walking distance or you can use the fully equipped kitchen to cook whatever you want. We like to put something in the oven the go and chill in the hot tub whilst its cooking. I honestly couldn't find a fault on any of ours stays

The cottage was fantastic.

Very clean with everything you needed for a week's holiday. Within easy reach of the local town for pubs and local shop. Adrian the owner was excellent, friendly and helpful with information. Hot tub was brilliant.

Fantastic cottage in great location with excellent facilities and very well equipped.

The lovely garden with hot tub and tennis courts were a real bonus. Only a few minutes walk from Bishop Castle High street and lots of lovely walks from the door. Would definitely recommend.

It was like a home from home.

Adrian, the owner was lovely and made us feel so welcome. It had everything you needed- salt, pepper, slow cooker, toastie maker, washing up liquid, games and jigsaws. I've been to other lodges and never had the amount of equipment or little extras that this place had. We had the sun loungers out in the garden, played tennis on the tennis courts and enjoyed the hot tub. The area around was a bit hilly but was fine to us. There's also a big childrens park at the bottom of the hill if it's a dry day. We loved our stay here! Well done Adrian!

Apartment was lovely and very comfortable everything you needed but the garden was a bit of a disappointment the garden furniture had seen better days the summer house seemed to be a dumping ground for old garden furniture so was not for purpose also balcony furniture was unusable could not comment on hot tub as we did not use it .

Good welcome from owner, lots of local knowledge.

Very convenient to walk into town but open views to countryside. Plenty to do in town especially with the festival events

The owners were welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in a lovely location.

A great place for a relaxing holiday.

Has everything you need and more. My teenage son and his friends loved the hot tub and tennis courts. Would definitely stay here again.

The environment is gorgeous, with such ease of access to so many wonderful places of interest, cycle rides and walks.

Our accommodation was superb, we had absolutely everything we needed, with the bonus of a hot tub to ease ourselves at the end of a busy day. Our host was so attentive and helpful, and Bishops Castle is an undiscovered gem.

Lovely cozy cottage in an excellent location.

Lovely, spacious and very clean. Some lovely walks from the doorstep, pubs and shops in walking distance. Lots of useful information in the cottage. The hot tub is a wonderful treat and well maintained. The owner is very friendly and helpful. My only recommendation would be a few basic condiments would be helpful and some lights near hot tub. This was my second stay here and I’ll definitely be returning.

Fabulous location.

Accommodation was perfect for our long weekend away with our 8 month old baby. High chair and travel cot available at the cottage. Adrian recommended a walk up Bury Ditches which was a lovely walk we even managed to take the pram up there, stunning views once we reached the top. Would definitely stay here again.

The cottage is very well maintained and clean.

The bedrooms are of a good size, both en suite with showers. The garden is small but enclosed and includes a hot tub which is quite big. The surrounding area is very picturesque and we had a lovely week visiting the local sites of interest. Bishops Castle is an old quaint village with a good supply of shops. But beware it is very hilly and quite a climb from the cottage to the top of the village. However persevere and it will be worth it. The Three Tuns is worth a visit for food and the brewery next door which provides the ale!

For anyone with mobility issues the town is hilly and the cottage is at the bottom of a steep hill, this was not a problem for us but maybe for other visitors.

Very clean and spacious property and the hot tub was just great.

Only reason we would not book it again is because we like going to different places
