The Old Power House Cottages

Found in the tranquil settings of Hereforshire, The Old Power House Cottages make a perfect pair to host a reunion with friends, a getaway with your partner and another pair, or a holiday away with the family. Rich in history and action, these two cottages make a brilliant base for walking, cycling, and seeing the wonders that the area has to offer. With the airfield nearby, these converted cottages are in a great location for visiting events and shows at what was the RAF station during the Second World War. Boasting wartime history, you can even book in for your own trial flying lesson and take to the skies to see the scenic views from a different angle. Whilst in the area, the Black and White Village Trail is a wondrous sight, with timbered houses dating from the medieval times to the modern era, it's a spectacular area with not just a pretty exterior, inside these buildings you can find pubs, tea rooms, and shops, making a fantastic day out for all to enjoy. For avid walkers, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the Shropshire Hills is just a short drive away, here you can find not only breath taking walking routes, but also an abundance of activities including horse-riding, fishing, golf, watersports and even airsports, the perfect location for the adventure seeker.

“Everything about it”

- Mr Hawley, June 2021
Mrs Dodd April 2021

“We were delighted to find such comfortable & spotlessly clean accommodation for our two night stop over en route to Cornwall.”

Extremely comfortable beds & fluffy towels. Mary was a charming host and her ginger cake is truly scrumptious! We would certainly return.

- Mrs Dodd, April 2021
Mrs Tindal October 2020

“Lovely cottage in a great spot for exploring the local villages of Pembridge and Eardisland.”

Very well equipped, clean, comfortable accommodation and a friendly welcome from our hosts. The bedroom and bathroom are both huge. Ludlow is an easy drive away and it provides a good range of shops. The Cider Barn near Pembridge offers fabulous food and cider, of course! Had a great stay with friends who stayed in the adjoining cottage.

- Mrs Tindal, October 2020
Mrs Bolton September 2020

“Very nice and unusually spacious holiday cottage, immaculately kept, in a peaceful area.”

Owners very helpful and welcoming, and we appreciate the extra effort they have to go to in making self-catering accommodation available at the current time. Directions on Sykes web site are not adequate to find cottage (and, bizarrely, start from Birmingham without actually saying that is where they start from!) - it needed a conversation with the owners to locate it (perhaps this is intended).

- Mrs Bolton, September 2020
Mr Gurney September 2020

“Our hosts were very friendly and helpful We enjoyed our visit to the area .”

- Mr Gurney, September 2020
Dr Kenton August 2020

“This is definitely worth a visit.”

Well equipped, modern cottage. Exceptionally clean and well thought-out... from cake and tea on arrival (from our very kind hosts) to the availability of lunch boxes. Everything has a place and is readily available in this lovely cottage. As I said, it’s worth a stay!

- Dr Kenton, August 2020
Mrs Chatfield August 2020

“The cottage and location for touring the area was excellent.”

The hosts Ann and Tony were friendly and helpful. The only downside for us personally was the noise of industrial traffic on the road when you are sat outside, or have the windows or doors open, which we had to do as it was exceptionally hot. No problem when inside with the doors shut.

- Mrs Chatfield, August 2020
Mr Powter November 2019

“This was a property in which much attention to detail has been invested to make sure that the customer has everything they could want.”

Modern, spotlessly clean, well insulated and with excellent fast wifi connection, the Old Power House is perfectly located for exploring the borderlands of England & Wales. I would highly recommend this accommodation and hope that I will be able to return soon to continue exploring this wonderful county.

- Mr Powter, November 2019
Mr Neve October 2019

“A1 for people who are interested in aircraft plus flying, ( starter courses are available ), good area for sight seeing.”

- Mr Neve, October 2019
Mr Grimmer September 2019

“Thank you to Mary and Tony for being very welcoming and having made this perfect holiday home.”

It had everything you need. Very clean and tidy. In perfect place to visit 3 counties. Would come back it's so beautiful in this area.

- Mr Grimmer, September 2019
Mrs Bridger September 2019

“Thank you so very much for everything.”

Mary and Tony are the perfect hosts, a lovely welcoming with cake, milk and tea/coffee. The cottage is perfect, everything you need to make it home from home, and tidy. It was the perfect place for all the places we wanted to visit. Thank you again

- Mrs Bridger, September 2019
Mr Jacobs August 2019

“Lovely comfortable stay.”

Especially liked the comfortable beds. Toured the county and beyond. Thank you.

- Mr Jacobs, August 2019
Mr Biggs August 2019

“The week which we spent at the Old Power House Cottage was not actually a holiday, but rather a week spent house hunting in the area.”

The cottage was a perfect base from which to do this and as such it satisfied our needs 100%. For anybody intending to spend a holiday in the area, we would recommend the cottage. It is clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. The owners were friendly without being intrusive, the location is very pleasant, and the village of Shobdon is a good centre for exploring the delights of the area (we were actually looking at properties to buy in the village as well as further afield), and also has a good village shop (quite a rarity these days) and a nice pub, the Bateman Arms. All in all a very good week.
