"We loved our stay at The Wainscott and it's beautiful idyllic rural setting so close to Shrewsbury."
The baked goodies and fresh eggs we ordered were an additional treat. We'll definitely return next time we're in the area!

"Wonderful property!"
Stunning location and grounds
My only complaint is that we only stayed two nights and didn’t get enough time to properly explore the ponds, walks and find the tree house!!! Will definately return!

"A very lovely place to stay."
Very peaceful and quiet.
Lots of birds to watch while sitting eating. Lovely garden to sit in and would be great for children.
Host very friendly (but unobtrusive!)
Hoping to rebook soon.

"Absolutely fantastic cottage in beautiful grounds - our second stay at the cottages."
Wonderful to spend Christmas with our family this year. The cottage was decorated for Christmas and Helen's cakes were delicious as ever. Lovely grounds to walk round. Many thanks for a great week.

"The Wainscott was a fabulous place to stay When we arrived it was nearly dark, but we had a quick walk around the garden and grounds and were thrilled to discover the many and various super aspects - the large pond, the tennis curt, the swings on the beautiful oak tree, the paths and the fabulous tree house."
The children - 8 and 10 years old - thoroughly enjoyed exploring, fishing and playing and we didn't need or want to go anywhere else over the entire stay.
Inside, the property is warm and cosy, and the kitchen was particularly well equipped - a good choice of pans, and details like scales, a potato peeler, measuring jug and so on. The living room area is spacious and comfortable.
The owners were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend this property.

"We absolutely loved our stay at The Wainscott!"
Great location with stunning scenery, lots of open land for the boys to run around and explore. The property is extremely homely and we didn’t want to leave. Brilliant hosts we really can’t fault the place and we can’t wait to go back.

"We enjoyed our stay so much in the spring, we came again 6 months later."
Twice in one year!
The Wainscot ticked all of our boxes. The fish pond being the icing on the cake. My small children loved the garden, the chickens, the rope swing and the bees.
The house was lovely and comfortable with everything you need in the kitchen.
You’ll need a car as there isn’t much close by to walk to. But that suited us.
There’s plenty to do in the grounds.

"What a lovely place this is!"
A fantastic cottage, beautiful views, so much to do you don't need to leave. We could relax in the garden or at the fishing pond, while the kids had a great time on the tree swings, well we had a go too! We really enjoyed the tennis court too and exploring the woods and the tree house. If you love a bit of wildlife you'll love it here.
Peter and Helen were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
The night sky was amazing, which is such a bonus when you live where there is a lot of light pollution.
Let's just say we didn't want to go home and can't wait to go back, thank you so much.

"The Wainscott made a great base for the week."
We enjoyed having a great place to share, eat and feel at home. We had a chance to fish and that was great fun too.
The cottage settee and chairs lack firmness and are a little uncomfortable for sitting each evening, especially now that eating out and being out in the evening is not a every day option. We didn’t let this spoil our week though.

"The Wainscott at Great Lyth is a comfortable place to stay with tennis courts, fishing lake and well kept garden."
As a family we loved our stay and hope we get an opportunity to return. The place and the facilities means you can have a relaxing time with great views of the countryside but also within easy reach of Shrewsbury and other Shropshire landmarks.

"What a wonderful holiday we had."
The property was perfect for a family of 5 and the outdoor space was amazing. Our children loved the tree swings and the treehouse in the woods, so much space for them to run around and explore. We enjoyed playing tennis and even had a barbeque in the garden enjoying the April sunshine! It was a perfect break away.
