Ms Cawdron
October 2020

“Our holiday was set for April 2020 and your response to the national lockdown was clear and refreshingly simple, so we easily rebooked for October.”

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, the Cornhouse (and the farm itself) was really clean and tidy. We were warm and comfortable. There were flowering plants everywhere in the farmyard. We saw stars, birds & bats, heard barn owls. It was a great base for Ironbridge, Shrewsbury and walks on the Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and, of course, the Wrekin which looks down on the farm. Excellent holiday, easy arrangements, kind hosts, 5 star. Thank you

“The Corn House was fantastic, really nicely done.”

It was so quiet, peaceful and tranquil despite there being other holiday cottages on the site. Derek was so helpful and Molly the dog is adorable. I would recommend this cottage to everyone.

“VERY RELAXING AND COSY HOLIDAY IN THE CORN HOUSE.”

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. OWNERS REALLY WORK HARD ESPECIALLY RUNNING A CATTLE FARM TOO. ALSO THE OWNER KEEPS THE SURROUNDING AREAS VERY NEAT AND TIDY. THE DRIVE UP THE LANE A BIT HAIRY. COULD DO WITH SOME OF THE OTHER FARMERS HELPING TO CUT BACK SOME BUSHES ETC. OTHER PEOPLE STAYING THERE VERY FRIENDLY. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WANTIING PEACE AND QUIET. LOVED MOLLY THE BORDER COLLEY, VISITED EVERY DAY AND SO ADORABLE. PLENTY OF NICE PLACES TO VISIT.

“The Corn House was one of several cottages set on a farm, a beautiful setting which was peaceful but in easy reach of nearby attractions and towns.”

The cottage was cosy and quaint and the beds were really comfortable for a good night sleep , however what let it down was cleanliness, on arrival the fridge was dirty with left over food crumbs and milk stains and I felt the need to clean it before putting in my own food . The tea cups , sugar dish and cheese grater all still had food remains on them ,we have stayed in numerous cottages beforehand and have never had to clean on arrival. Wifi could be improved and the bathroom although clean, for appearances the shower could really do with a mould and mildew treatment.

Mr Alder August 2020

“Our first family holiday in Shropshire and it was a great choice.”

Once used for storing grain, the Corn House felt cosy, yet was roomy enough for 2 adults and 2 teenagers to co-exist peacefully! The kitchen was well equipped, there was always plenty of hot water and the beds comfortable. We loved sitting outside in the evening sunshine with a glass of wine to just enjoy the tranquility of it all. A fab location for exploring nearby Ironbridge and beyond. We rafted on the river, visited the Victorian Village at Blists Hill, explored Ludlow and its castle and walked part of Carding Mill Valley in the famous Shropshire Hills. A fantastic week - we have already recommended the Corn House to a number of friends with similar aged children!

Mr Smith December 2019

“I enjoyed the location of how it was set away from all noise and civilisation but still not too far from the town centre.”

It was warm and cosy, clean and comfortable and I really enjoyed the small touches such as wood for the fire and some delicious fresh baked cakes for our arrival.

- Mr Smith, December 2019
Mrs Apps October 2019

“Wonderful cottage in a stunning location!”

Beds and bedding to die for. Lots of character with beautiful old furniture and kid friendly, ours were 2&3 years. Only complaint which really let it down was cleanliness. Dried pasta on worktop, sink and sponge etc really grubby, black mould all in grout of shower cubicle and just looked like it needed a bit more tlc and a good cleaner but once we had bought some sponges and cleaned what we could the place didnt disappoint!

- Mrs Apps, October 2019
Mrs Faulkner March 2019

“At first we thought that being so close to the cows it might be a problem with noise through the night but no problem, the cows must go to sleep also.”

It's a long single track lane to the farm from the main road but we only encountered another vehicle coming the other way and that was when we first arrived! Derrick and Sue were very welcoming on our arrival, they showed us around the cottage and had a fire going in the wood burner stove and had left some cake baked by Derrick mother, very nice! All in all we had a very good holiday and met some friends that we new from when we lived there some seventeen years ago.

- Mrs Faulkner, March 2019
Mrs Dutch September 2018

“It should be noted that the stairs in the Corn House, whilst in tune with the cottage, are steep and on a twist and therefore difficult for anyone with walking difficulties.”

This did not spoil our holiday in any way and we would love to go back. The holiday was wonderful - quiet and peaceful and just what we wanted.

- Mrs Dutch, September 2018
Mrs Stratton June 2018

“Wonderful quiet location.”

The Corn House was very comfy and as expected. Although a quiet out of the way location, the cottage is only 4 miles from Ironbridge Gorge. Highlight was that Molly the farm dog greeted us and joined us for breakfast every morning.

- Mrs Stratton, June 2018
Mrs Rowntree April 2018

“Brilliant holiday on a working farm.”

Mrs Orchard March 2018

“Lovely homely cottage with stunning views of the Wrekin and surrounding countryside, close to all the attractions.”

Welcomed by a roaring log fire and homemade cakes and the lovely host Derek who could not do enough for us, even though we turned up hours later than expected. Wonderful time can not wait to go back.

- Mrs Orchard, March 2018
Mrs Spellar February 2018

“Lovely cosy cottage and in a beautiful location handy for Ironbridge and the museums”

- Mrs Spellar, February 2018
Mrs Wainwright February 2018

“We arrived in the afternoon with the cows grazing on the hay bales.”

Farmer Derek and Mollie the collie were their to greet us with the log burner already set up and a box of rock cakes. We had a lovely relaxing break with our two and four year olds who loved watching the cows being fed in the morning. The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped in a scenic location. We also had plenty of places to visit in Shropshire.

- Mrs Wainwright, February 2018
Mrs Milward December 2017

“We were lucky to find this cottage for a five day Christmas break at fairly short notice and a reasonable price.”

The owners were flexible about arrival time and very welcoming, including wood burning stove lit for us! A beautiful location, ideal for Ironbrigde and the Shropshire Hills. If you enjoy staying on a working farm, you can see the cows from the front door!

- Mrs Milward, December 2017
Miss Michajlow April 2017

“The property was fantastic.”

Great location, great beds, great pillows, wood fire. Loved waking up to the cows mooing. Morrells family were very attentive, just lovely. I felt like oart of the family. I hated leaving.

helpful and understanding when we broke a plate! Left a plate of delicious home-made cakes to welcome us when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for them!

- Mrs Walker, October 2016
Mrs Kearns August 2016

“A little bit difficult to reach up a single track lane from Leighton.”

Watch out for oncoming traffic. In addition to the owners being friendly and helpful there is a very friendly sheepdog on the farm. The gardens around the farm are well worth a look.

- Mrs Kearns, August 2016
Mr Boullin July 2016

“The cottage was very quaint, on a working farm but very peaceful.”

It is very warm, cosy and comfortable and the owner made us very welcome. The cottage is in a very central position, close to Ironbridge, Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock. We had a very enjoyable stay .

- Mrs Fowler, May 2016
Mr Bowers October 2015

“The Corn House is a lovely little cottage.”

Perfect for our autumnal half term getaway. The wood burner and décor gave it that cosy feel and was what we were looking for. The Corn House is a great spot to base a holiday in Shropshire. We've already booked again for next year!

- Mr Bowers, October 2015
