“The cottage was perfect for our requirements, the host visited and was lovely.”

The property is bigger than expected. The only suggestion would be to replace the suite as it wasn't particularly comfortable. The isolation, the views, the darkness and dawn chorus absolutely perfect. Will hope to visit again at some point. Thank you.

Mrs Moutrie September 2020

“The directions to the cottage were not very helpful and we spent an hour trying to find the cottage, we had to stop and ask someone in the end.”

More detailed directions would have helped.

Mrs Davis September 2020

“A lovely location from which to explore the Shropshire Hills, comfortable and peaceful, a really enjoyable break.”

- Mrs Davis, September 2020
Ms Urbanowicz September 2020

“The holiday cottage was lovely.”

The owner very kind and helpful which was much appreciated. We had a lovely holiday. I usually book directly with owners and this is what I'll do in the future. Sykes were extremely unhelpful. I realise that these are difficult times, but while you managed to send me frequent adverts you were unable to respond by email; phone or letter ( all methods I used to try to contact you ) to discuss our booking. You would be wise to devote more attention to your customer services rather than advertising.

“The cottage has lovely views and is in a beautiful setting.”

It is well equipped and comfortable. One of the main factors in booking was the large garden. Sadly this is open to the farm cottage so the neighbours 3 dogs can visit whenever they want which meant our youngest would not play in the garden as she is nervous around dogs. The owner made us beautiful wheat free and diary free cakes on arrival and also checked in with us a few times to see if we had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again, especially if our youngest has overcome her fear of dogs!

“It was a real holiday cottage.”

It had everything we required. The beds were good and the big double excellent. The views outside were stunning as was the quiet. The only drawback was that the flue for the boiler was too near the seating area and windows. This area is not on the tourist map and has lots of interesting walks to test out your map reading skills. We have been coming to Bishops Castle on and off since 1987 and still find places of interest.

Mr Smallpeice June 2019

“Lovely cottage set in a wonderful colourful garden.”

Dr Squirrell April 2019

“We had a lovely short break at the cottage, which had real rustic charm.”

We were greeted with a Bara Brith cake upon arrival and were able to enjoy an open fire one evening. The house was well equipped, although no phone reception.

Ms Monasterio January 2019

“I was late getting in touch with Sheila, but managed to reach her the morning that we were arriving.”

She made it easy for us to arrive when we wanted, with everything cleaned and welcoming. We stayed over the Christmas week, and she had put up lovely festive decorations and a small light-up tree, as well us leaving us Christmas punch and home-made mince pies, so we were utterly cosy and happy for our stay. The bedrooms were nice and spacious, and the beds comfy - we slept very well during our stay. The floorboards upstairs are a bit creaky, but we had a really nice holiday at this cottage and would be glad to return sometime. Thanks for your hospitality!

Mr Shepherd October 2018

“Broughton Cottage was good.”

Some may think some of the decor and furniture a little tired but it suited us, very comfortable and in keeping with the cottage. My wife, daughter and two grandchildren were perfectly happy there. The place was clean, the kitchen well equipped and the location could not be bettered. The view is wonderful. We went at the end of October and the heating in the cottage was excellent. We would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing time. We will certainly return.

“We had a really comfortable stay in this cottage.”

The owner is very friendly and welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed. It was warm and cosy and well equipped. It is in a lovely, peaceful location with beautiful views of the hills and garden from all of the windows and there are many walks and places to visit in the area.

We were made very welcome by the owners and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area. There is a lot to do in the area and we would love to return and see more.
