Rectory Cottage

This is a lovely property in a peaceful location.

The owners are friendly and helpful and the welcome pack was most appreciated! We had a really relaxing week and I would book again.

Jo and Neil are great hosts and happy to assist if needed

The cottage was fantastic.

We had a lovely stay. Well equipped with comfy beds. Rural village setting with a handy pub and shop a short walk away. Brilliant host, nothing was too much trouble. Recommend a trip to the ironworks which is only a couple of miles away. Highly recommended.

very nice cottage but be aware the stairs to get upstairs is very steep and, no toilet facilities up stairs which can be a bit of a pain if you need to go during the night, Kitchen is a bit on the small side not enough cupboards.

lovely shower room the village is very nice with a pub near by The Punch Bowel or about a mile away is the Queens head very nice food not cheap but very goog

Exactly as described and the owner was very helpful at all times,

We spent a week at this very comfortable cosy cottage in a peaceful village with lovely walks in the area and plenty of places to visit.

There was everything we needed and a few thoughtful gifts from the owners. It's dog friendly but the garden was not entirely enclosed so had to take our dog out on the lead. The bedroom was large with a very comfortable superking size bed. The only issue is, in my opinion, is that there really needs to be a small handrail at the very top of the staircase as there's nothing to hold onto as you come out of the bedrooms straight onto the stairs. We had a lovely time staying here and would thoroughly recommend it. Thank you

A lovely cottage in beautiful area.

Spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our stay. Very helpful hosts. We would definitely visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Neil and Jo were the perfect hosts.

Neil and Jo are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble.

They are there if you need anything,but give you total privacy as well. Rectory cottage is so lovely and peaceful. The furnishings are gorgeous and the surroundings ideal for getting away from it all and indulging in nature and a more restful life. Thank you Neil and Jo.for a.wonderful three weeks in your fantastic property. Paul and Glyn

This is such a beautiful property.

It was super cosy given it was so cold out especially coming from a warmer climate the cottage was lovely and warm. The extra touches like the welcome basket and the beautiful christmas tree were really thoughtful it really added to our christmas stay. This is our second visit and we can't fault it in any way. The beds are really comfortable. Amazing hosts thank you for another wonderful stay ❤️

Great place to stay in a beautiful village

Lovely people, lovely cottage, thank you from all of us

Well situated with shop and pub in easy walking distance.

Easy access to A5. Comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. The local pub only serves meals on Sunday, but within a mile there is the Queens Head (at Queens head) which serves high quality food all week.

On the whole an excellent property, could do with a chair in the larger bedroom, a non slip mat in the shower and a few hooks to hang coats etc.

Very cosy.

Owner was fantastic, very welcoming and friendly.

The property was beautiful, highly recommended

Beautiful cottage, had everything you needed and complimentary milk water bread and bottle of bubbly was a lovely touch, the owners were friendly and very quick to help when the internet went.

Would recommend.

We had a really nice stay at Rectory Cottage.

Great facilities, pretty cottage, nice and warm - was just as described. Was really nice to have tea & coffee, bread, milk and bubbles to enjoy on arrival. Would reccomend.

We were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with gifts of bread, cava, and milk from the owners - how lovely!

The cottage is beautifully furnished and the guest towels were soft and fluffy. The cooking facilities were great and everything you needed for making meals. The village is beautiful and perfect for dog walking. The only negatives were a lack of gates/fence to keep our little dogs from straying into owners garden and driveway and the very steep staircase - maybe another rail on wall side please. Otherwise it was a fab experience.

Wonderful place to stay, cosy, clean, peaceful, a very pleasant place to stay, weather a bit disappointing, but on the whole fantastic.

We would not hesitate to return in the future. G.A.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage.

Everything was immaculate when we arrived and with some nice complementary treats. The cottage was the ideal size for four (we came with our adult-sized teenagers). The facilities were great, the good WiFi and a TV better than ours at home meant we had happy teens. It is in a great position, we enjoyed exploring North Wales, local National Trust properties, Chester and local walks.

First the good news !

This is a pretty little cottage within the courtyard of a restored & converted stable block. The village of West Felton is a lovely quiet Shropshire village just off the main A5 trunk road but far enough off it to be very quiet and peaceful. All the villagers we met were friendly & chatty and there is a very useful village shop and post office (post office open Wednesdays a.m.only). Sadly the village pub, the Punch Bowl, has seen better times and needs a big chunk of investment to compete with the nearby Queens Head just a mile down the road. Hope it survives ! Oswestry is just a few minutes down the road where there is more choice & several supermarkets. The cottage itself has been updated with new kitchen, bathroom and two very pleasant bedrooms (one with super king bed !). The cottage is small, ok for two but we though four adults would struggle. The refurbished bathroom is downstairs next to the kitchen which can be a bit of a hassle if you need a quick dash to the loo in the night ! This involves negotiating the steep narrow staircase with some strange step arrangements where they meet the bedrooms - needs a lot of care to negotiate safely ! The "not so good" bits ! - We have stayed at lots of Sykes cottages but this is the first one where we almost turned round and left when we saw the lounge carpet. It truly looked as though someone had held a pop festival on it, grubby, badly stained. Only fit for the skip I'm afraid. Really needs a hard floor to be in keeping with the cottage character & to cope with the wear & tear it obviously gets. The place needs a bit of TLC in a few places too - my first shower had to be aborted due to the shower waste not working properly. Had to set to and clean it out which was a bit unexpected. Similar the dishwasher which needed its filters cleaning out to work properly and the detergent dispenser wouldn't close so it was hand washing up - again not a show stopper. To maximise space the lounge has a fold down dining table with some integrated dining chairs - truly the most uncomfortable things we have ever sat on even with the addition of a cushion ! Its a shame that a bit more attention to detail & maintenance hadn't been paid because its a lovely place & could be a lot better. The owners were away when we were there otherwise we would have knocked on the door and explained all of this to them. Don't be put off, its a nice place but bear in mind the downstairs bathroom, steep narrow stairs if you have mobility issues. This is a dog friendly cottage & we had our dog with us - however the two black cats & the free range hens are boss so watch the dog !!

Rectory Cottage is a little gem in the peaceful, friendly village of West Felton.

It was cosy, comfortable and clean, with everything you would require for a wonderful holiday. The owner, Jo, who lives next to the cottage went out of her way to ensure my wife and I and our border collie had a very enjoyable stay. The welcome pack was one of the best we've had with Sykes Cottages. The local pub (Sunday carvery) and the shop (open 7.30 am to 10pm, every day) were only ten minutes walk and the supermarkets were four miles away in Oswestry. There were plenty of places nearby to walk our dog. The cottage was a perfect base to visit Shropshire and NE Wales. A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Thank you Jo.

Great property in a good location.

Well equipped kitchen and relaxing outside seating area. Friendly and helpful owners.

The property is situated in a great area for walking and exploring.

The cottage is situated on a country lane which had very little traffic- a very quiet area. However the cottage is within easy access of the A5 making it easy to explore the surrounding area. The cottage is well appointed and the owner is friendly and helpful. A great holiday

Beautiful cottage and lovely owners!

Left us with some welcome treats as well and had a folder prepared for local dog walks as well which we did and they were fantastic! The cottage was gorgeous and extremely well presented! Couldn't recommend the area, the cottage and the owners enough to others!! Thank you so much

Lovely cottage .

Had a lovely stay

Lovely property, great bedroom pillows, we are buying some for home, bathroom is lovely.

The only thing that could make this better is maybe a doormat on the inside of doors. Will definitely stay here again if it is available. Thanks again Ian

The cottage was very well situated in a lovely quiet village and the owners had left us a nice little welcome pack on arrival.

The cottage is well situated to visit nearby attractions and towns of which I would recommend a visit to nearby Ironwork centre.

The property was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay.

Jo was brilliant when we had a minor issue, she sorted it straight away and kept me updated throughout the day. There is parking for two cars but one would be better as it is a bit tight. The stairs are quite steep, so probably not suitable for people with mobility issues. I would recommend Rectory Cottage though, we had a lovely stay.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay in a lovely, clean, modern cottage.

Thank you so much for our little welcome pack, very much appreciated after a long journey. The cottage is within walking distance of the local pub and close to the Montgomery Canal. Would definitely stay here again.

The owner had put a lovely Xmas tree in corner.

Very welcome as was welcome pack. Warm and comfortable. Local walks and pubs great.

A very comfortable holiday cottage in a quiet rural location.

A pub and shop only an 8 minute walk and there are some good walks around the area. All facilities are included and a nice welcome pack.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean and tidy. Would certainly recommend

The cottage was lovely.

Warm and clean and comfortable. With a generous welcome pack. It has a brand new kitchen which is very well equipped. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short because my friend who has dementia wasn’t safe on the stairs, particularly coming out of the bedroom onto the landing. The owners have said they are going to put a handrail in that area.

Excellent stay lovely cottage great owners left us bread and milk freshly laid eggs and doggy treats very homely cottage in lovely area would definitely recommend

Such a stunning property super comfortable beds lots of space for our family of 4.

We didn't find the stairs an issue our kids are 11 and 6. The cottage has had an upgrade compared to the listing on Sykes. The kitchen has been redone and has everything you could possibly need. At the back there is also a door leading to a lovely secluded patio area. We had a lovely two weeks stay and would definitely return again. Fantastic hosts thankyou both for the lovely welcome basket it was very thoughtful!

Lovely cottage, fitted out and furnished to a very high standard.

Only note of caution the stairs are steep and may be not suitable for young children or those with mobility issues, although we're not the youngest and managed OK. Great location for touring around North Shropshire and surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.

Excellent accommodation and a very warm welcome.

West Felton is beautiful and a great base for exploring Shropshire and Wales

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

Has all the things you could need a real home from home. Thank you for the welcome package it is very thoughtful.

In your write up there was a mention of washing machine and also pictures obvious kitchen has been changed so photos and information need up dating

Beautiful cottage, our time was cut short, because of a HOSPITAL appointment, which I forgot about, Our time at the cottage, was Lovely West felton is a beautiful village.

I recommend walking the dog along the Montgomery Canal, Joe was a fantastic host Couuld not do enough for you, Beautiful cottage, enough said. Mick&Ellen, & noodles

We had a lovely stay at Rectory Cottage.

A lovely quiet cosy cottage in a great location. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and Jo was a great host. Would love to stay again

Very lovely cottage, with everything we needed.

Jo very welcoming with a surprise welcome pack too. Look forward to visiting again soon.

Lovely cottage and really nice owners.

The cottage has been refurbished in such a way as to not diminish its character but has everything you need. We came to Rectory Cottage to get the pets (and ourselves) away from excessive fireworks that plague where we live and it was a real success - a peaceful comfortable week where we had good weather and got to enjoy some lovely walks with the dogs. All in all, a great stay - thanks

Lovely little holiday home suitable for our family of 4.

Nice new fitted kitchen and bathroom, lovely size bedrooms. Overall really good base for a long weekend away. Would return

A very nice little cottage.

we were greeted by the owner, who then left us to it (which we much prefer). Unfortunately, it didn’t stop raining all weekend, so it was difficult to appreciate the abundance of walks directly from the cottage. our only criticism would be a better range of cooking equipment would go a long way.

What a lovely cottage!

Unexpected welcome pack was really great; fresh eggs, (from the owners hens), a crusty loaf, and milk etc. just what we needed before we could get to the shops.... and to top it off, prosecco in the fridge! The owner was very friendly and helpful. The cottage was beautifully decorated and fitted out. Very clean and comfortable. Such a great place for exploring the beautiful countryside and the many walks and attractions in the area. Highly recommend as we had such a great week here!!

Cottage exceeded expectations.

Top quality bed linen and beds. Brand new kitchen was lovely and welcome pack very generous. Area of the cottage is so convenient for travelling to places. So much to see and do. Peaceful area in a beautiful village location. Owners very friendly.

Absolutley fell in love with this little beauty.

..it was perfect for me the dog and my partner! The main bedroom was so spacious with a mahoosive bed, the bathroom was fitted with the new mod-cons looks fab. The living area was a great size and the sofas were compfy. The owners left a little basket of goodies which is always a bonus, overall i loved this place will defo be going again x

Really lovely cottage and location.

A very nice welcome from the owners. We would certainly recommend this cottage.

Great location, very quiet yet close to the A5 with easy access into North Wales, Chester or down to Shrewsbury, Severn Valley Railway etc.

Cottage in quiet courtyard in village, nice walks to nearby Montgommery canal and pubs within walking distance. Cottage clean and tidy, modern decor keeping original features. Modern, clean shower room and soft towels. Owners very friendly and helpful, giving advice on local area. Please note stairs to bedrooms quite steep for those with mobility difficulties and shower room/toilet is downstairs. No freezer compartment in fridge but small kitchen well equipped to make simple meals. Lovely place to stay.

The accommodation was excellent as you see from my replies.

The owner, Jo, was extremely helpful. We took our dogs and they enjoyed their surroundings - Jo had even supplied a jar of dog biscuits! We enjoyed the surrounding area and were sorry to have had such a short stay. Also, the young lady at your office (Karen, I think) drew my attention to Rectory Cottage - I was looking for accommodation for two - and I would like to thank her for the recommendation.

When we first saw this cottage from the outside we thought this don't look to good, But surprised it was very nice inside and comfortable with everything we needed Good WiFi and nice TV, The owners were very nice people and could not been better, Very quite and peaceful.

would i use this place again 100% i would.

We stay a lovely week in this beautiful cottage which was spotless & had everything well located .

The owners are so friendly & so helpful we would recommend this cottage we would definitely stay again .

We absolutely loved everything.

The setting was beautiful and the added benefit of the owners cats wandering in and out was home from home. Thank you so much.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful.

The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Everything well explained in a folder provided in the cottage and a very generous welcome pack was provided. Our stay really was perfect and would definitely recommend Rectory Cottage to anyone.

Rectory Cottage suited us perfectly?

The ease of access and convenience was perfect for our short stay. The owner was very helpful and didn't mind us sticking two great 4 x 4's in the courtyard.

Everything was just perfect.

Lovely placer with friendly thoughtful hosts EXTREMELY generous welcome pack Would definitely recommend
