“A great place for a relaxing holiday.”

Has everything you need and more. My teenage son and his friends loved the hot tub and tennis courts. Would definitely stay here again.

“The environment is gorgeous, with such ease of access to so many wonderful places of interest, cycle rides and walks.”

Our accommodation was superb, we had absolutely everything we needed, with the bonus of a hot tub to ease ourselves at the end of a busy day. Our host was so attentive and helpful, and Bishops Castle is an undiscovered gem.

“Lovely cozy cottage in an excellent location.”

Lovely, spacious and very clean. Some lovely walks from the doorstep, pubs and shops in walking distance. Lots of useful information in the cottage. The hot tub is a wonderful treat and well maintained. The owner is very friendly and helpful. My only recommendation would be a few basic condiments would be helpful and some lights near hot tub. This was my second stay here and I’ll definitely be returning.

“Fabulous location.”

Accommodation was perfect for our long weekend away with our 8 month old baby. High chair and travel cot available at the cottage. Adrian recommended a walk up Bury Ditches which was a lovely walk we even managed to take the pram up there, stunning views once we reached the top. Would definitely stay here again.

“The cottage is very well maintained and clean.”

The bedrooms are of a good size, both en suite with showers. The garden is small but enclosed and includes a hot tub which is quite big. The surrounding area is very picturesque and we had a lovely week visiting the local sites of interest. Bishops Castle is an old quaint village with a good supply of shops. But beware it is very hilly and quite a climb from the cottage to the top of the village. However persevere and it will be worth it. The Three Tuns is worth a visit for food and the brewery next door which provides the ale!

“For anyone with mobility issues the town is hilly and the cottage is at the bottom of a steep hill, this was not a problem for us but maybe for other visitors.”

“Great place to stay”

Stayed many times, last 2 visits November 2017 and January 2018, never disappoints. Hot tub great after 13 mile walk in the snow on long mynd. It's a bit weird running across garden in the snow wearing just a swimming costume. Great location, only few minutes walk from any of the pubs, and there are a Few in Bishops Castle - never usually get further than Three Tons and Castle Hotel but this time also got to 6 Bells and Boars Head, and both very nice. Would recommend and are going again March 2018.

“Ideal location, prefect cottage.”

The location of the cottage is ideal for walking or cycling, with no need to use the car if you prefer not too. The town of Bishop Castle has everything you need with plenty of pubs to visit. We ate at the Boars head pub, the food was excellent as were the owners, very welcoming. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need, the log burner and hot tub were great at the end of the day after a long bike ride. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“Great location”

Stayed many times and always great. Location of apartment perfect for Bishops Castle, especially Three Tuns PH and Castle Hotel. Apartment always clean and furnished beautifully, log burning fire fab after walk on long mynd and once you have been in hot tub.

“A little gem”

A lovely cottage on the edge of the market town of Bishops Castle. It has everything you need and a little extra. The hot tub is a real delight and fantastic for that early morning coffee or relaxing after a day exploring the area (I can recommend Lake Vyrnwy, beautiful). The cottage was roomier than expected with a large lounge and two good sized bedrooms. The wood burner was lovely and there was plenty of fuel provided. Bishops Castle is a nice little town and I would definitely stay here again.

“Amazing value for money!”

Stayed for one week this August and loved every minute! Furnishings of the highest standard and immaculate! Little touches like good bedding and towels made the difference. The hot tub made the place extra special

“Super!”

We would strongly recomend this place to stay. Very clean and cosy. The town is a bit quiet, was difficult to find a place to eat on Sunday, so you better plan in advance :)

“Out of this world”

We have stay here twice within four weeks, the accommodation is of the highest standard, there is everything you think of to make your stay perfect. The standard of furnishings in the apartment are high quality, which gives you a sense of luxury which makes your breakaway even more special as you feel like you are renting a luxury apartment. The kitchen is again high quality with everything you could need to create a filling meal after a day exploring the beautiful surroundings, the added bonus of a slow cooker is fantastic and the dishwasher also makes it more of a rest not having to do the the dishes after a meal. The log burner with the endless supply of logs made for cosy evening, as well as the hot tub which was a fantastic way to start and end the day with complete relaxation. The owner of the apartment was so helpful and welcoming, and really cared that you were comfortable and enjoyed your stay. All in all we had two fantastic holidays and would recommend it to anyone visiting Shropshire as nowhere could match the standard of holiday accommodation on offer.

“Very comfortable”

Spacious and comfortable. Garden with summer house and hot tub. WiFi recently added. Very convenient for the interesting town (hilly). Within easy reach of a lot of good hill walking and cycling. Warm reception from helpful friendly owner.
A FlipKey verified reviewer September 2012

“Tub with a view”

A very well appointed let with a super hot tub in the garden which allowed views of the Shropshire countryside. The bedrooms were luxuriously set up with TVs and i-pod docks. The kitchen was satisfactory (a few more utensils would have been useful). The location in relation to the town was ideal with a five minute walk into the centre. A wide range of hostelries and cafes was present. The garden was a relaxing place to while away the evening although the road noise was a little intrusive.

“Fantastic”

Have just had a lovely weeks holiday here, so relaxing, hot tub was fantastic used every day, another bonus was the tennis courts, the owner was really friendly came to check that every thing was ok, beds were so comfortable and liked it that both bedrooms had their own shower and toilet, will certainly go back, only one niggle there is a busy road next to it, but didn't bother us. fantastic town and real ale pubs.
