  • "Highly recommend, lovely place to stay!"

    Garden was secure for our dog. They provided stair gates & a highchair for our baby. Great hot tub. Booklet brilliant with lots of recommendations. Really nice special touches left like a bath bomb, some chocolates & dog treats - nice touch! Would stay again

    Beautiful inside and out. The owner was very accommodating, and the large hot tub was maintained daily. The cottage was very equipped and was like a home from home. Highly recommend this for short and long stays.

  • "This cottage was absolutely perfect for our short stay with friends."

    It had everything we needed and more. Easy access to the property and parking. It was spotlessly clean and well kept. The hot tub was so nice which was also well maintained and cleaned daily. It also worked very well at keeping hot. We enjoyed cooking and using the bbq in the garden area. The place is quiet and relaxing. It’s also a short drive away from Shrewsbury which was a beautiful town with quaint shops and pubs. We would definitely recommend this place and would definitely return.

    Location was great and was probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed in. Everything you could need for your stay was provided and the large hot tub was fantastic. It was so relaxing to spend time in the hot tub watching the horses in the paddock. The hosts were great too not at all invasive but on hand if required. Waitrose, Indian restaurant and a lovely butchers all within ten minutes drive. We all had a lovely relaxing break and will look forward to returning.

    It was so peaceful and quiet. We slept really well. Loved the hot tub, seeing the horses in the neighbouring paddock, having private parking, being left chocolates and a bath bomb. The local butchers is definitely worth a visit for the sausages. We are definitely going to book again. If you’re after a lovely relaxing break with nobody around, this is the place for you.

  • "A lovely well needed break made better by this gem of a find!"

    Set comfortably rural to Telford, Thimble Cottage is a new listing to Sykes and is well equipped with everything you need, including a brew kit welcome pack, doggy treats, cleaning kit & equipment and very comfortable bedding. The hot tub is an added bonus and I would recommend taking your own towels for this use. The cottage was immaculately clean on arrival and the hot tub is serviced daily. This well presented cottage is very comfortable, dog friendly with a secure and spacious garden area (as well as a paddock space when available to use). The cottage is tucked away down some small country roads, so the only advice is to be cautious of this but you can guarantee a quiet peaceful space with a stunning view where you can even witness shooting stars at night! We highly recommend Thimble Cottage and have already shared the cottage details with family and friends. Thank you again to the proprietors for a wonderful peaceful break.

Park off-road and unpack with ease into this delightful cottage, where a light and airy open-plan living space houses contemporary furniture with an opulent feel.

There is a well-fitted kitchen space with loads of amenities to cater to your culinary needs, with grey furniture and matching tiles, as well as a marble dining table where guests can dine together.

Open the French doors in the sitting area, which overlooks paddock stretching to the Wrekin and Shropshire Hills, or remain indoors to relish in a movie marathon upon the Smart TV; there is also a double sofa bed to welcome two further guests to your party.

Accessible via patio doors, the garden offers a tranquil space to recline with a glass of your favourite beverage with views across the paddock, or alternatively spend an evening indulging in a soak in the hot tub.

Snuggle up in the tastefully presented king-size bedroom, with windows that open up, into balconies, ideal for morning coffee when the sun is shining, and a twin which can be set up as a king-size on request and has access to a quirky spiral staircase leading to the outside of the property.

Thimble Cottage rests within a quaint rural location in Meeson, with views over the countryside.

From here, you can head over to Tibberton where there is a local shop and pub, or Waters Upton, where there is a second convenience store and the Bharat Indian restaurant.

For more amenities and many eateries, pubs, independent shops, and a golf course, visit Newport, where there is also the Aqualate Mere National Nature Reserve.
