“Dawn, myself and our puppy Archie loved our break between Christmas and New Year.”

The cottage is very modern, refurbished 2019 if memory serves and is very well equipped plus it’s fig friendly. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom and well planned. The location is central to many attractions such as Croft Hall, Barrington, Ludlow Castle, Stokesy Castle etc etc. There a super restaurant just up the road which again I S dog friendly.

Shopping, there’s a small shop within walking distance which is well equipped with essentials however, for a bigger - better value shop - there’s a huge Morrison’s 15-mins away. The hosts Mary and Tony were great, very helpful and cheery. Great place and experience - excellent

“We were very pleasantly surprised by the spacious, modern, comfortable and well presented cottage/ apartment.”

We had every item in kitchen, bathroom, and sitting room we could need. Mr and Mrs Arber, the owners, made it unique by the lovely home made cake and personal instruction about places of interest near us as it was our first time in this lovely part of the country. Thank you to you both. Perhaps the general photo of the outside of the cottages doesn’t reflect the spaciousness of the interior

Dr Arber September 2020

“The accommodation was really excellent - it is very spacious and had everything that I needed.”

It's in a lovely location, with a great garden to enjoy. I would definitely recommend staying there and will look forward to staying in one of these fabulous beautifully converted cottages again.

Mr Hazelton September 2020

“The equipment in the kitchen was adequate.”

The dressing table mirror in the bedroom was too small, and too low down on the wall. There were however some wonderful touches, Some cake and milk ready for when we arrived. A shoe horn and umbrella to use. A good, powerful hair drier in the bedroom. The shower was amazing, with fully adjustable jet head. A very smart, tidy, clean and comfortable cottage.

“Spacious accommodation for two in the midst of a great countryside and just a few miles from the "black and white" villages.”

Comfortable place and friendly people letting it.

“The setting of the Old Power House cottages was lovely.”

The cottage was extremely well presented and a great deal of care and thoughtfulness had gone into making sure all the current COVID-19 safety guidelines were met. The owners were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They also shared a lot of knowledge about local history and accessible places to visit. We would certainly recommend this cottage to family and friends as we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

“Lovely relaxing stay with some nice touches which really make you feel at home.”

The spacious bedroom and bathroom give a luxurious feel too. Also smart TV which my teenage son in particular really appreciated. Beautiful countryside all around and a warm welcome from our hosts. They were very helpful and provided lots of local information which added greatly to the enjoyment of our stay. I do think guests should know that the garden area backs onto a B road as that may be an issue for some dog owners in particular. The road had only intermittent traffic but there were occasional lorries to the industrial area further down the road. A larger oven glove would also have been greatly appreciated as the one in the cottage is very small and tricky to use! Other than that the kitchen is very well stocked with all that you could need. Would definitely recommend and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again. Thank you.

- Beukers-stewart, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are delighted that you have had a pleasant stay at the cottage and enjoyed exploring the attractions. The road at the rear of the property is the C1032, however, this does not appear on maps, because of the proximity of the road and the fact that we have a lot of wildlife (including horses in our field at the moment) in and around our property, we specify that dogs should be kept on a lead at all times Sykes owner relations
Mr Phillips July 2020

“The owners were very friendly and helpful and the cottage was spotless and well equipped.”

We enjoyed our holiday there, the only disappointment was that you couldn't really go on walks directly from the cottage itself, as it is on a main road with no pavement.

“Your description of being able to see the airfield from the rear garden was very inaccurate.”

There is no possible way that you can see any part of the airfield. Owners very obliging pleasant stay other than key element.

“3rd visit since August (although 1st 2 visits were in No.”

1). It's not that we have a lot of holidays - we have been using the cottage(s) as a base for house hunting in the area, and after the first visit it seemed that we wouldn't find better accommodation!

Wonderful place the owners were very friendly and helpful I will be telling family and friends about the place so hopeful they would have my family and friends stay there

Mrs Parsons August 2019

“The cottage was perfect, spacious, light and had everything we needed.”

Mary and Tony are lovely hosts who are ready to help with anything you may need, they've worked really hard to make it the way it is. The cottage feels like you are away from our all but is close to so many things. We'd really recommend staying here.. and it was perfect for our toddler too.
