“Great cottage, plenty of space for 2 people and 2 dogs although the gorgeous light coloured carpet a bit of a worry given the reservation for cleaning costs in the info book.”

...

Lovely location and benefitted from the nearby pub being shut although sad for them. Fabulous walks and cycling from the door. Secluded garden very good for dogs and gravel makes clearing up easy. Our one problem was the bed! Too soft too small too bouncy, no doubt ok for small people. The bedside tables a challenge for any hot drink! Lovely views all around especially from the very solid bench at the front of the cottage. Conservatory very useful because the weather was cold but sunny so a good warm place to rest and take in the views. Log burner made for cosy evenings. Sun on some part of the garden all day and lovely sunsets. The steep drive a bit of a challenge but worth it for the views. The owners live attached but are very discreet and helpful when needed. Lovely birds on the feeder including nuthatch and lesser spotted woodpecker. All that being said we had a fabulous week. Thankyou Jo and Daniel.

Miss Winter April 2021

“We had a truly wonderful time.”

The owners really did outdo themselves with hospitality. They even accommodated our pups. Would highly recommend and stay there again.

- Miss Winter, April 2021
Mrs Richards April 2021

“Truly magical experience from the moment we opened our welcome pack.”

The location is terrific and the setting is beautiful especially at night when the fairy lights brighten up the darkness.

Mr Wayman December 2020

“Lovely, clean cottage, dog friendly and lovely Hosts”

- Mr Wayman, December 2020
Miss Loader August 2020

“The property exceeded our expectations, especially the outside space and views from the front patio area.”

The accommodation was spotless upon arrival and the welcome pack, which included something for our dog, was a lovely gesture and gratefully received. An added bonus is The Bridges pub at the bottom of the drive is friendly and serves good food. It is advisable to book a table especially if the weather is not suitable for sitting outside. Dan and Jo, our hosts, made us feel most welcome and although they live next door we’re not intrusive in any way. We will definitely be returning to Brinks in the future.

- Miss Loader, August 2020
Ms Vanson August 2020

“Spacious lounge and bedroom.”

Small kitchen with not even an ice box in the fridge. Fortunately the owners let you use a bit of space in their chest freezer in the shed so worth bringing a few extra items with you as no local shops. The large wooden table shown in their pictures at the front of the house does get the early evening sun so great to sit out after a days walking. They fill the bird table each morning so great for bird watching.

- Ms Vanson, August 2020
Mr Williams July 2020

“One of the most spacious cottages we have stayed at (kitchen excepted) with very good facilities.”

A great place for a peaceful break but with good access to South Shropshire places of interest. Roads off the main route are narrow & "interesting" at times. Access drive to cottage is steep & rough, but it's elevation provides wonderful views. Immediate countryside is delightful & there are good dog walks, invariably with some hills, on the doorstep. Garden is very secure. The owners, Jo & Dan, were very pleasant & helpful. We had an extremely enjoyable break & would certainly return.

- Mr Williams, July 2020
Mr Sinclair February 2020

“Really well equipped, located perfectly for a walk on the Long Mynd.”

Cosy, clean and just a real nice place to be. Every detail has been thought of, a great place to stay for a few nights.

- Mr Sinclair, February 2020
Mrs Watchorn October 2019

“This is a lovely cottage and the hosts are very welcoming.”

Being walking distance from a pub that does food, and only 3 miles from a really good pub with food, was an added bonus! We love walking and this proved to be an ideal base. After a long walk in the ( Unfortunately) not great weather, coming back to a warm comfortable and cosy cottage was just what we wanted. we loved the alpacas!

- Mrs Watchorn, October 2019
Mr Bellamy September 2019

“The cottage was excellent and was in a beautiful area with lovely walks with superb views from the cottage itself.”

A pub selling a number of local real ales and great food is only a short walk across the road. Our two dogs also settled in and were provided for with complimentary treats (as were we) and a secure garden so that we could let them out safely, when required. We would not recommend this property for anyone with mobility problems, however, as there is a steep and uneven drive up to the property. We used a flat parking area just outside the immediate garden to the property which still involved an uphill walk although it may be possible to drive into the area immediately outside the conservatory. In spite of this, we managed without any problems and would recommend this property.

- Mr Bellamy, September 2019
Miss Hampton September 2019

“Jo and Dan were fantastic hosts.”

The cottage has been beautifully maintained with all the facilities and comforts of home. Stunning view of the surrounding countryside. Across the road from the cottage is The Bridges Inn which serves lovely food and beer. We would definitely go back to The Brinks.

- Miss Hampton, September 2019
Mr Cameron September 2019

“We had a very nice week at Brinks Cottage despite a few wet spells.”

The cottage is amazing and exceeded our expectations. It is very modern and very well appointed. Zoe left us some extras such as milk butter, biscuits etc. There is a nice country view from the bedroom window, a conservatory comfy lounges and modern bathroom. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a quiet week in a country locale. There are many villages and towns to explore such as Ludlow, Church Stretton, Much Wenlock and Shrewsbury nearby. Ironbridge is also nearby as well as Stokesay Castle and various Abbeys to visit.

- Mr Cameron, September 2019
Mr Ormond July 2019

“A remote location with bonus views, the local pub served good grub at a reasonable price.”

The cottage was great. The area was lovely although I did have palpitations driving from Church Stretton but I only did that once. The best cottage we have stayed in.

- Mr Ormond, July 2019
Mr Kaine July 2019

“A wonderful rental!”

Super accommodation and location. Lovely linen and towels, comfy bed and owners left us a welcome box and dog treats! Shower excellent, kitchen bijou but fine for 2, roomy and we loved sitting in the conservatory watching the birds, a real gem! We shall return!

- Mr Kaine, July 2019
Mr Hollaway June 2019

“Very comfortable cottage in beautiful scenery and even horrific rainfall during stay did not spoil visit.”

The welcome pack was very thoughtful and much appreciated.

- Mr Hollaway, June 2019
Mrs Barber June 2019

“Having had over 100 dog friendly cottages, this was the best, a warm welcome on arrival, a comprehensive welcoming pack, a warm clean cottage, despite it being late June the heating was on.”

- Mrs Barber, June 2019
Mr Hodgkinson April 2019

“This accommodation was in the ideal location for us, with fabulous views across the valley, within easy reach of Church Stretton and just a few minutes drive from Stiperstones as well as the Long Mynd, and a 2 minute walk to the very pleasant real ale pub, serving good food, literally across the road.”

We had reservations about the 'annexe' type accommodation, as it is joined to the owners' property, but we need not have concerned ourselves. Joanne and Dan respected our privacy and we only saw them a couple of times all week. The cottage itself is very comfortable, cosy, warm and spotlessly clean and has a home-from-home feel about it, with very spacious light lounge, with conservatory off to the side, where we liked to sit in the evenings watching and listening to the numerous birds outside on the bird feeder. The en-suite bathroom has recently been tastefully refitted with a fabulous walk-in shower and all new fittings throughout (lovely!). The added bonus for us (having our dog with us) was having a private secure fenced garden. The kitchen is compact but has everything we needed for our stay and, with so many good pubs nearby serving food, we only ate in a couple of times. The Welcome pack of bread, eggs, milk, dog treats, etc. was very much appreciated on our arrival. We had a wonderful restful holiday and have already booked to return to 'The Brinks' later in the summer!

- Mr Hodgkinson, April 2019
Mr Saunders March 2019

“Exceptional cottage in a stunning location.”

Lovely hosts who are close enough if you need them (next door) but not at all intrusive. Log burner was gorgeous for cold March nights. It's a 12 mile drive to civilisation (Shrewsbury), but there is a pub across the road which does good food (and ale). So much to see in the area you would need several weeks to see it all. Can't wait to return!

- Mr Saunders, March 2019
Mr Allcock March 2019

“The roominess of the lounge and the location.”

One of the best cottages we have rented from you!

- Mr Allcock, March 2019
Mrs Clifft February 2019

“Welcome pack and a fire already made was a lovely touch.”

Was expecting a bath from the site description so this needs updating but it didn't spoil holiday as shower was nice and powerful

- Mrs Clifft, February 2019
Mr Sheehan October 2018

“We both had a fab break the cottage was fab and location was great we loved it thank you”

- Mr Sheehan, October 2018
Mr Burdon October 2018

“Fantastic area with lots of things to do to meet all interests.”

Excellent helpful owners on site for whom nothing was too much trouble.

- Mr Burdon, October 2018
Mr Hackett October 2018

“Great cottage attached to owners house.”

Perfect location for exploring the Long Mynd and Welsh borders. Will be back again.

- Mr Hackett, October 2018
Mr Yeomans September 2018

“People need to be aware that although the cottage is excellent and the pub across the road does really good reasonably priced meals, there are no local easily accessible shops, the nearest supermarkets are in Shrewsbury.”

Also sat navs may not take you the easiest route and some of the side roads are very narrow.

- Mr Yeomans, September 2018
Mr Sproston September 2018

“The advert states there is a steep drive, this is true but my little 1.”

6 romped up there, wouldn't recommend it in anything flash with low chin spoilers etc. On to the good stuff, the place is lovely with an excellent shower and huge lounge area if you are unlucky with the weather; the kitchen is small but perfectly capable of catering for two, besides the pub serves lovely food and is just across the road but be aware you may need to book. There is a huge amount of local info in the cottage especially walk guides and maps (some waterproofed should you wish to take them out) and with walks and historic sights on the doorstep there is lots to do. Save time for admiring the alpacas that live by the parking area and the many wild birds that make use of the feeder by the conservatory (binoculars provided).

- Mr Sproston, September 2018
Mr West August 2018

“Briefly, peace and tranquility.”

In the heart of the Shropshire hills there is so many different environments. Pleasant moorland walks just minutes away, my dog loving dashing through the heather. More strenuous walks for the more adventurous. The Brinks cottage is so comfortable and one of the very best I have stayed at. Spacious and well equipped, very friendly owners who soon got used to being welcomed by my dog. The local pub serves excellent food and it is a hard choice between going there to eat or to sit out in the private garden with some wine and cheese. So relaxing that time just flew by. Highly recommended.

- Mr West, August 2018
Mrs Collings August 2018

“We had a lovely break.”

The cottage was fantastic - very high spec & lots of additional touches, like the generous welcome pack and toiletries provided. The hosts were helpful but unobtrusive. We would highly recommend, and would definitely visit again. The website photos need updating - they show the bathroom with bath and shower over, but it has been updated to a very nice double shower. The pics don't do it justice.

- Mrs Collings, August 2018
Ms Preston August 2018

“Really lovely cottage, Brinks was everything we wanted and then some.”

We would highly recommend the cottage and the area. The walks we were able to do were varied, The Wrekin, the Long Mynd, Ellesmere, Llangollen and Montgomery canals not forgetting the gorgeous Ludlow and much more, with most being relatively dog friendly too. Great holiday.

- Ms Preston, August 2018
Mrs Hawkesworth July 2018

“Lovely spacious cottage, very clean and in a great location for exploring the Long Mynd, Church Stretton and Stiperstones.”

On the Shropshire Way so walking from the door, great for our dog! Helpful and welcoming owners...we loved it here.

- Mrs Hawkesworth, July 2018
Mr Roullier July 2018

“We had a wonderful time at the brinks from the moment we arrived to find a lovely welcome pack from the owners Jo and Dan which even included some treats for our little dog.”

The cottage had everything you needed it was lovely and the pub just across the road served fantastic food and dogs were made welcome! The cottage was set in an ideal location for a quiet holiday and walks straight from your door!

- Mr Roullier, July 2018
Mr Strathie June 2018

“Lovely cottage in a great location ...”

Lovely cottage in a great location Very comfortable and very nice people We had a wonderful time and hope to be back soon time John and veronica Rivenhall end Essex

- Mr Strathie, June 2018
Mr Stephenson June 2018

“The owners were lovely and couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.”

We received a very generous welcome pack, the cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. We were made very welcome in the local pub 2 minutes away and the food was very nice. I would highly recommend this cottage.

- Mr Stephenson, June 2018
Mrs Kaye April 2018

“Brinks is the best cottage we have ever stayed in everything you need .”

Lovely owners good location

“Lovely cottage in a great location for walking, cycling and sightseeing.”

- Mr James, April 2018
Mr Goad December 2017

“This cottage is in a remote position with a steep driveway up to a parking area.”

It is set in an agricultural area and many of the roads are narrow and extremely dirt sodden during the winter. I would happily return to this location during the summer time. We spent Christmas at the property and the owners made the whole experience very enjoyable with a welcome pack plus a decorated Christmas tree. The kitchen was tiny but fully equipped, enough to enable us to cook a full Christmas dinner. The wood burning stove was very welcome and we spent happy nights feeling comfortable before it. The owners are really pleasant and had thought of most things to make our stay more comfortable. We would consider returning in the Summer as there are many interesting places to visit in the locality. We were blessed with a white Christmas which only served to enhance the views of the surrounding hills.

- Mr Goad, December 2017
Mr Hall June 2017

“Lovely welcome from owners, peaceful and comfortable, walks from the door and close to many other walks.”

“Lovely cottage and very pleasant hosts.”

- Mrs Fitzpatrick, March 2017
Richlar March 2017

“A very tidy cottage in a great rural location, 50yds from a friendly country pub!”

Dan & Jo have put together lots of local information about local attractions and walks in the area, and have equipped the cottage really well e.g. the log burner in the lounge, a Jacuzzi bath, TV's in lounge and bedroom and good wife. We found it too cold to use the conservatory in February but I bet it's a relaxing spot in summer. All round a relaxing place which we may well revisit.

- Richlar, March 2017
Lisa F February 2017

“Immaculate dog-friendly comfortable stay”

A perfect retreat for couples especially those with a dog! Walks from the door. Pubs are pet friendly and welcoming. Property owners could not be more welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful location and views from the property were stunning. Can't wait to return!!

- Lisa F, February 2017

Mrs Davies November 2016

“The Brinks was a lovely get away we stayed here on our honeymoon.”

It's a very peaceful romantic location. The owners were very helpful and accommodating everything we needed was provided for including logs for the whole week. I'd say the only slight down side was the kitchen is tiny and at times the cottage was a bit chilly.

- Mrs Davies, November 2016
Mrs Hart October 2016

“What a lovely location, the views are stunning, the cottage is extremely comfortable with a warm and friendly feeling, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and a really nice on-suit bathroom, overall we were really pleased with the cottage and will defiantly be returning.”

- Mrs Hart, October 2016
Mr Scott September 2016

“In a quiet corner of Shropshire is Brinks Cottage.”

A charming and comfortable property giving excellent views across the countryside. Very well maintained by the friendly owners who also provide a welcome pack including fresh eggs from their own hens. There are many local walks and a lot of places to visit all within half an hours drive. The nearby pub provides good food and beer.

“Home from Home”

We have just had a lovely week at The Brinks, it really was just like a home from home. Comfortable, clean, great size, and so central for all our needs! And a great little pub at the end of the lane, good food, friendly staff. And lets not forget the chickens, lovely eggs, and very friendly!!! A lovely little welcome pack on arrival too! Many thanks!!

- bonny19542015, June 2016

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your stay at Brinks, we are so pleased you enjoyed your break there. It sounds like a you had a great 'home' to return to after your exploration of the area, and having the pub so close sounds fab! We certainly hope you return for another holiday very soon.

“Loved it!”

A very comfortable and very well equiped cottage in a beautiful spot. It was very dog friendly with a fenced garden area and a tiled porch area just inside the front door. We had a very relaxing 2 days with plenty of local walking plus good food and beer in a pub only two minutes walk away.

- ksente, February 2016

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Brinks, thank you for sharing your experience with us all. It is great to hear that you had a relaxing time and found everything you needed was to hand at the property - that enclosed area must have been a godsend for your pooch! We certainly hope you make a return visit in the very near future. Sykes owner relations

Rev Twinberrow January 2016

“We liked everything about the cottage and the owners were very friendly and kind to us.”

The weather was quite cold during our stay but we loved coming back in the evening and lighting the wood burner and enjoying the comfort and warmth of the cottage. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed it immensely. Thanks to the owners for all their kindness.

It was comfortable with good quality décor and furniture in the cottage.

- Mrs Dale, September 2015
Mr Humphreys July 2015

“Everything was as advertised.”

We cannot praise the cottage enough with its perfect position, comfortable bed and every comfort. To have a pub just down the drive was a great help if one did not wish to cook after a long hike during the day. All in all a very good holiday!

- Mr Humphreys, July 2015
Mrs Smallwood March 2015

“A wonderful location to stay in with walks and lots of wildlife.”

Brinks and the owners provided us with a perfect weekend. Having a country pub so close is a real bonus, perfect after a hill walk to stop for a drink or food. This is such a comfortable place to stay with a bed that it is very hard to get out of in the morning. Visiting at this time of year was perfect with springlike weather but still chilly evenings to make good use of the log burner. The conservatory was great to sit and read in the sunshine or just look at the views. Definitely want to return to do more walking and explore the area.

- Mrs Smallwood, March 2015
Kosher22 January 2015

“A little piece of heaven”

We stayed here for an impromptu visit to Shropshire. It is a fantastic 'home from home' experience with Dan and Jo such great people whose motto surely must be nothing is too difficult. The cottage is very comfortable and spacious and the wood burner is a real treat for what was a chilly weekend. It was lovely waking up to the sound of silence, the only sounds being the chickens in the gardens. The pub at the bottom of the drive was a real find, and the beer and food excellent. I would certainly return to this little piece of heaven, thank you so much for looking after us so well.

- Kosher22, January 2015

Thank you for this fantastic review! We are really glad that you had such a wonderful, relaxing stay at Brinks - curling up by the woodburner of an evening sounds amazing! We hope to have you book with us again soon! Sykes owner relations
martharose1 December 2014

“perfect peace”

We found Brinks by chance and we loved it from the start. This little cottage is beautifully furnished and warm and cosy with a fabulous wood burner. Walks right on the doorstep and a pub a step away make it a perfect place to relax and unwind. There are no shops however so it pays to forward plan. The owners provided a nice touch with a welcome basket with bread, eggs from their own chickens, even some doggy treats for our pet. We stayed over Christmas and loved it all. The quiet location may not suit everyone but if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is definitely the place to chose Thank you for making our stay a pleasure . Must mention the gift of wine to celebrate our wedding anniversary . Thank you

Susan G September 2014

“Just what the doctor ordered”

We found the cottage to be just what the pictures looked like, very clean, cosy with nothing missing that made your stay a home away from home visit. Pub just a short walk away which was very friendly, just make sure you bring with you all your food or buy it at one of the towns near by as there is no local shop for that one thing that you've run out of !!!!!! Little or no mobile phone reception which is great for a holiday, wifi was also intermittent. My only bad comment is that there is no shower just a lovely bath with a hand held shower.
