"Great property and very well stocked kitchen."
Garden was well equipped so lots of meals outside and made good use of the provided gas barbeque Easily accommodated our group with a games room and very comfy lounge big enough for all of us. Garden was secure for dogs and we even managed a croquet tournament and malkey tournament! There is a secure dog exercise field at the property which we could book for free and which we made good use of. The property is, as the name suggests, is very close to the railway. The weather was hot when we were there so we had all the windows open and although we could hear the trains they didn’t stop us sleeping. Zoe the owner was a very good and helpful host. Would recommend a trip to Shrewsbury and Attingham Park (National Trust).

"A lovely big house, ideal for our family get together."
Plenty of space with rooms big enough to all sit together, grandchildren loved games room & garden. Kitchen very well equipped.
-
"We had a lovely stay, everything we could wish for and more."
Excellent property for all the family, children loved the games room, and the property was fully equipped with everything needed for a party of 9
-
"Very clean and comfortable."
Plenty of space for 10 adults, who all enjoyed the trains, and everything you could need for a stress free stay.
-
"Station house is very comfortable and roomy - it suited our family get together very well."
We had a weekend stay and walked locally one day - visited Shrewsbury the next - both delightful and with so much to see both in nature and the historic town. We all had a go at the air hockey - shrieks of laughter! and spent long evenings around the dining table - talking and taking our time, lovely to do that. The garden was perfect for the 10 and 8 year old - also Nacho, the puppy. Thank you to our hosts for everything - so thoughtfully provided.
-
"Absolute fantastic place to stay kids really enjoyed themselves, the owners were really pleasant and helpful, would really recommend, can;t wait to go back."
-
"We booked a trip for 2 families at The Station House which consisted of 4 adults, 5 children and 1 dog."
The house was lovely and spacious and we loved the location too. Would highly recommend for a large get together. We liked the trains whizzing by outside too! They did not bother us at all as came quite irregularly and were so fast that you barely noticed them.

"What a fabulous find."
This cottage was so lovely, the facilities were absolutely great for 10 of us plus a toddler. Location is perfect to get to Shrewsbury and probably other places but we were lucky with the weather so used the garden to sit out in. It has 2 en-suites and a family bathroom but also a downstairs toilet which isn't mentioned in the listing and is a bonus. The single beds weren't the most comfortable but that didn't spoil our weekend. The games room is a great family place too with a games console, table tennis table, air hockey plus numerous other things to entertain children and adults. The large family dining table was also perfect for us all to sit around and have a meal and a wine and cheese night. Really is a wonderful place to stay. Loved our long weekend here. We would definitely book this place again in the future.

"Stayed with friends."
We had 6 cars between us and there was plenty of space to park. Trains weren't an issue at all. House, was very clean, well stocked and had everything we needed (we'd read there were no hairdryers on the list so brought our own), plenty of space to accommodate us all.
-
"Lovely property for 10 people."
All comfortable and works well in terms of space.
-
"Station House was a lovely place to share with a group of friends."
The village was interesting and there were many local places to visit, both towns and country The house was comfortable and incredibly well equipped. We had a great week thankyou
-
"The property was stunning and very spacious."
Suited our needs perfectly with the added bonus of the trains running by the property to the amazement of one of our group.
-
"Station House is a great place for our family to stay - we've been twice now and may well be back."
Thank you.
-
"The house had everything we needed to cook and stay together as a group of 9 plus a dog!"
It was easy to find and everything went really smoothly throughout our stay, we even loved the fact the house was festively decorated. Thanks so much for a fab stay!!
-
"We all fell in love with this beautiful home the moment we set foot inside."
It was spacious, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. In addition to sharing the grownups' and kids obsession with trains which was not instructive, the kids also adored the game room. For 8 adults and 2 kids, the kitchen had everything we needed. On our final day it was sad to leave and will most certainly be returning.
-
"Had a homey feeling to it."
Was lovely and warm and everything people would need in terms of facilities, games room, crockery etc. even included ,though we did not know , were dog bowls and a collapsible dog crate. However we always took dogs with us. Only thing we were unsure about was where to put black bin as certain items could not be put in bin outside back gate. Great to have list of instructions etc in folder. Pub in Hang a Gate closed Mondays and Tuesdays so we went to Horseshoes which was excellent.
-
"Lovely property with everything we needed for the stay provided, but looking a little tired and needed a good clean in some places with plenty of cobwebs!"
Entrance hall is very welcoming, especially when sunny, and useful for stripping off wet clothes after rain before moving into the inner hall, but loose cables could do with pinning to the wall. Living room was nice but the couches were too soft and difficult to stand up from, the entrance door was sticking, and the room could benefit from some table lamps. The main TV was only connected to wi-fi so main channels could only be reached through catch-up. Bedrooms were clean and beds comfortable, but two of the shower trays were showing signs of age and use. Lovely large kitchen with plenty of utensils, cutlery, dishes, glasses, etc, and a good large fridge. One of the small units needs repair and spoilt the overall look, but otherwise the kitchen and utility are well stocked. It was very useful to know that Sainsburys (and maybe others) deliver direct to the door. The garden was a little overgrown and in need of some maintenance, but was fully enclosed, exactly what we needed for two dogs. However, the lights outside the back door appeared not to work which made it difficult when the dogs went out late at night. The noise from the trains was certainly no issue, especially as the line was closed from the second day! And the late night goods train only provided a background rumble. With a few minor tweaks and maintenance, Station House would be restored to perfection.

"Station House was an excellent base for our family get-together."
It's spacious, well-equipped, comfortable and has plenty of parking. We were fortunate to have superb weather so made good use of the gas BBQ and the plentiful garden furniture. The owners, who live next door, were very helpful in getting a problem with the bathroom lighting fixed quickly. It was useful to have supermarkets just a few minutes away on the outskirts ofShrewsbury and there were plenty of place s to visit within easy travelling distance. We'd recommend this property to anyone wanting to holiday with a group of family / friends in this beautiful area - and children will love watching out for the passes trains!
-
"We had a great time with 11 of us ranging in age from 1 to 74."
Loads of space in the house and a good garden for the children to run around safely. Lots of interesting places to visit in the area too. We would happily stay there again.
-
"Made to feel very welcome Well set up for dogs Thank you"
-
"Lovely cottage and all very easy."
Great facilities and lovely garden to sit in. My only feedback is that the kitchen could do with a couple of sharper knives :)
-
"We all enjoyed our stay, nice size property for our group."
Beds very comfortable. Says in info to clean BBQ after use but who ever used it previously hadn't cleaned it so we didn't use it. Owner said we didn't have to rush on day of departure which was great. Brought some plants from their honesty payment selection at entrance, all good prices. The trains make it an interesting stay. Maybe a little TLC is needed in places but theres nothing major as we all said we would return. Would have been nice if grass had been cut but we haven't had the best weather lately which maybe why?
-
"Great time, we have 3 dogs between the families and it was a lovely place for all of us."
Interesting places to see and visit in our long weekend break .
-
"Brilliant property home from home, fully equipped, clean, plenty of towels, secure garden, First class"
-
"Ample room for the ten people this property caters for."
Even more kitchen equipment than expected. In fact, there was everything you could possibly want in a kitchen. Took the basics, washing up liquid, hand wash, toilet rolls etc. All provided. It's a spacious house with several reception rooms if you want to find some space to read etc. But a big enough living room to all be together. Big garden with the occasional visit from a pheasant. Set in the Shropshire hills, beautiful scenery and lots of walks. Trains were a bonus, two and three year old's sat at the kitchen window waiting for them.
-
"Lovely stay here for a 60th birthday celebration."
We were 7 adults & 3 children plus a couple of dogs. Walks nearby and well equipped home with superb games room made it perfect. I contacted Sykes cottages before visiting with some queries and had incorrect information. The house has plenty of tea towels plus washing up liquid/ dishwasher tablets although was advised by Sykes that there wasn't. Please Sykes update records otherwise totally spot on in evert way. Perfect location perfect house 100% recommend.
-
"Lovely house, perfect for family get away."
The kids loved the play room. Lots of room for everyone. We will be back.

"We were 8 adults, one child and one big Labrador staying for Christmas and furthermore our first Christmas together for 3 years!"
From the moment we stepped into the Station House we knew that we had made a good choice. The house was decorated extensively outside and in with lovely touches such as seasonal cushions, fireguard, table centrepiece and other ornaments and a huge (real) Christmas tree. Chocolates and a bottle of bubbly were a real welcome treat! The big porch area serves as an idea place for coats and shoes, especially our walking boots. The house is very dog friendly and there are extra dog bowls and a few accessories in the utility room. A large games room gives extra space where there are plenty of board games, Lego bricks, wooden train and other toys as well as an air hockey table and a TV with Xbox. The large and well equipped kitchen was perfect for preparing our Christmas dinner and the dining room big enough for comfortably accommodate us all. Upstairs the bedrooms where comfortable and spacious and included 2 en-suite rooms. Our 4 year old grandson was very happy with the toddler bed and there were 2 additional cots in other rooms along with extra stair gates. Although we did not need them it indicates the consideration the owners have made when equipping the house, offering plenty of choice for those with young children and babies. We note from previous comments that the adjacent train track can be a disturbance, especially at night. As we were staying over Christmas (and there were train strikes) we have to say there was no problem apart for the occasional rapidly passing commuter train. If we were to note any issues it was was the lack of a good carving knife among the cutlery, also the family bathroom lock did not work properly. We had a lovely time at the Station House and it has long been known to our Grandson as the “Christmas House” it truly lived up to expectations and provided a magical Christmas for all “children” young and old!
-
"A really lovely property."
It was spacious and homely and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There were also toys for the children (Lego was a firm favourite with children and adults alike). The owner was friendly and helpful. Our 4 year old grandson is obsessed with trains, so this was like a dream come true for him! We would highly recommend this property.
-
"A lovely place to stay, had everything we needed and helped created many memories:)"
-
"Stayed for a family weekend."
Station house very comfortable and had everything you would need. The games room was a big hit with the four grandchildren especially the ice hockey and Lego. There was some train noise but children loved watching trains go by and wasn’t too intrusive. ( also good value plants for sale from Mal the owner).
-
"Our stay at Station House was good, plenty of space for 10 people, garden was definitely big enough for us and 2 dogs."
The house is well equipped so we didn't want for anything. We knew there was a train line right next to the house as it's mentioned in the description but,,,, we didn't realise how busy it was. It's a main line from Shrewsbury to Cardiff with a high speed intercity train running regularly which shook the house. Trains were halted right outside the house a number of times which felt a bit invasive. If you love trains, this is the place to stay. We still had a good holiday though.
-
"Myself and 8 other family members stayed here for 2 nights and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."
House was beautiful, perfect size and we didn’t feel cramped! Lovely large living room and large dining room table in the dining room, both of which seated all of us comfortably. Kitchen was very well equipped. Very dog friendly but at the same time didn’t smell of dogs!! And no dog hair anywhere! Child gates were very useful - we had no children but used them to keep the dogs downstairs. Bedrooms were lovely, 2 of which had en- suites. And complimentary bottles of water at bedside were a lovely touch. Garden was beautiful with plenty of garden furniture and a BBQ. Also totally secure so dogs were free to run around safely! House right next to train track so you could see and hear the trains going past quite frequently which we loved! Beautiful views from the bedroom windows. I would definitely recommend staying here xx
-
"This is a wonderful property, everything we expected and more."
There was plenty of space for us all and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was very homely and spotless and catered well for our family of 7 adults 7 month old twins and 3 dogs ! It was an amazing week and would definitely return. Sheila
-
"We were in the Shrewsbury area to clear the house of my Uncle Jack, who died last year."
Consequently we did not spend as much time in the house as we would have liked. But we thought that the house was absolutely wonderful and a fabulous place to sit down and relax after days spent cleaning and sorting! Thank you very much for the use of the house
-
"Wonderful property Plenty of room for 8 adults 1 baby 2 dogs Facilities ..."
Wonderful property Plenty of room for 8 adults 1 baby 2 dogs Facilities were superb - we were very well catered for
-
"The owners were unbelievably helpful, polite and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible."
Could not recommend the place more, will be coming back.
-
"Station House was an excellent place for our family christmas, 9 of us."
It was lovely and spacious and well equipped. We appreciated the christmas extras like the tree, crackers, chocolates and mulled wine etc. We walked to the village across the golf course and also to Lyth hill which was lovely.
-
"Fabulous accomodation."
The house was wonderful for our large family get together. So much space, comfort especially the beds with. The owners have thought of eveything home from home even had a slow cooker. The train line was never a problem in fact it was an added excitement.
-
"I celebrate my 40th birthday here with my family and friends."
We loved the spacious house, the kids where ecstatic every a train went past as they could see them from the games room window. We loved the history, the area and everything about it.
-
"We had a fabulous family time celebrating our moms birthday."
Station house was comfortable warm and inviting.
-
"It was as described, clean ,spacious , kitchen very well stocked, plenty of seats ."
The bedrooms were clean and comfortable plenty of towels . Our party of 6 adults 4 children and 3 dogs had a great time. The games room with the Xbox and air hockey provided great fun and “friendly” competition. It was a lovely experience for our long awaited family get together. Would definitely book again.
-
"What a great place to stay!"
Plenty of space for our cars and it was far enough away from the busy road that you cant hear any traffic, there is the occasional loud train during the week which shudders the building a bit, but at the weekend there weren't any at all, plus we were out visiting nearby tourist attractions during the day so didn't mind them. The house itself was lovely, kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils etc that we needed during our stay. We would definitely come back here!
-
"We booked this property a week before our stay."
We asked Sykes to check with the owners if they would allow 4 dogs which they kindly did. This would have been an ideal opportunity to inform us that building work was taking place at the property immediately next to Station house also owned by them. The builders arrived at 8am and on some days left only at 5pm. There was a noisy delivery of wood early one morning around 8.15am. We complained to the owners but although they stopped roofing, work in the house continued with a radio playing and workmen chatting and singing. We value our privacy and chose this house as it was detached however our time in the garden was spoilt because of lack of privacy and noise as the new build directly overlooks station house. Although there is clear mention of trains passing it should be pointed out that the goods train passing at 3am each day makes the house shake! On a positive note the house was clean with good quality bedding and towels.
-
"Just a couple of things that prevented top marks for facilities: The water pressure booster in the downstairs toilet is very noisy and comes on a night as well - it may be faulty so would recommend having it checked out The cooker is leaking steam and fat onto the floor as the door seals are in need of replacement."
This means that it takes much longer to cook food in the oven than it should It might be an idea to provide some food storage containers so that left overs can be re used
-
"The description did not do the place justice."
So spacious and in its own private grounds. The two brothers who maintain Station House were absolutely brilliant & even looked after our dogs one morning so we could all go Kayaking. Would definitely recommend it. The only thing was there was not enough garden chairs for the amount of guests the can sleep, luckily I thought about this & took our folding chairs with us.
-
"We had a really wonderful family staycation."
The place was perfect for the babies and secure for the dog so they all had plenty of fun running around and playing in the garden. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and there was nothing we needed that we couldn’t find. The property was clean and spacious and the parking was plentiful. We had a lovely couple of days away as a large family group and would really recommend.
-
"Amazing property for short or long stay."
We as a family had great time inside and in the garden. Our dog had lots of grass to run around. Quite and easy access to shops , pub , restaurants. Also we got food delivered one night and many options. Relaxing weekend.
-
"The location is great - the house used to be the station and trains still run next to it."
Mostly two or three carriage passenger trains which disappear in a few seconds. Only longer and slightly noisier goods trains take longer than a flash! The grandchildren loved having a train set just outside and it really is not that loud. But the best bit for them was the games room! We were so glad that the owners kept the toys out and especially the air hockey. They loved it - and so did we! So many places have gone nuts over COVID - and this shows how you should do it. The house had plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. The lounge has a good size TV - not that we had time to view much - there is so much to see: Ironbridge Gorge (with ten museums including the wonderful Blists Hill Village), Cosford RAF Museum, Shrewsbury - we even ventured to Chester (an hour away)! We stayed for a week - Friday to Friday (the best handover) - and loved it!
-
"We had a lovely stay the trains were a little noisy but went passed us quite quickly."
I wish the towels had been a bit larger. Malcolm and Dave were very friendly and it was a great place to have our three dogs lots of places to walk and a super field to run our dogs. The weather was very good this helped I am sure. We would stay there again.
-
"Wonderful house for large family and dog."
Lots of space indoor and out and bonus of an enclosed dog training field ( which was also great for a game of cricket). Lots of fantastic walks in the area and handy for a choice of supermarkets only 2 miles down the road. Golf course adjacent to property and lots of English Heritage and National Trust properties in area. Host couldn’t be more helpful. A week of making great memories
-
"A really fantastic property considering we had to change plans at short notice when Wales was shut."
Station House exceeded our expectations and was superbly equipped. The games room was an added bonus particularly the air hockey table which was a hit with our 5 year old grandson. The kitchen provided us with just about every utensil you could want. The large range cooker is ideal whe cooking for big families. The owner who lives nearby was very friendly and we felt he would resolve issues quickly- there were none. The passing trains became quite a highlight of the holiday even the early morning goods trains weren't particularly disruptive. We fully intend to return to Station House in the future to enjoy the local area without Covid restrictions. We would highly recommend this property to any family.
-
"The property was much larger than we had expected and had every amenity that we could have hoped for during this family celebration weekend break -including spare dog bowls."
There was an unexpected bottle of Prosecco and a chocolate cake waiting for us, along with some milk in the fridge, a really lovely touch which was a good start to the holiday. The bedrooms were all welcoming and the beds comfy, the children loved the games room's air football table and other toys. We took our aged German Shepherd with us so having a cattery next door was a bit of surprise but I'm not sure she even realised it was there, it was so quiet. The manager of the cattery even kept an eye on our dog when we went out for lunch which meant we didn't have to worry about leaving her. A great property, hardly noticed the trains (although we did all shout out 'train' every time one went past for some reason)...good location, nice gardens, we would definitely stay there again.
-
"House was clean, very spacious for all three generations and two dogs, we ..."
House was clean, very spacious for all three generations and two dogs, we thoroughly enjoyed our week, the trains were worse than expected, we didn’t seem to mind during the day but they carried on during the night only stopping for about two hours they also toot their whistle at night waking anyone up that is a light sleeper
-
"Amazing house."
Massive. Kids loved games room. Two large gardens. Totally enclosed for dogs. In countryside So there are bugs/midges so maybe bring insect repellent.
-
"Station House catered for all our needs and that included 8 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs!"
!! Cupcakes and Prosecco on arrival were a lovely touch. Plenty of kitchen equipment, towels and toilet rolls!!! The enclosed garden was great for the dogs. Also we loved the fact that all 10 of us could sit down to eat together at each meal with the added bonus of a train whizzing past the window occasionally!!! The trains were an added bonus in fact and did not impact on anything as they weren’t noisy. There was a good selection of games to play but for us Pazzaz was the best and I am now in the process of trying to buy that game!!! I would highly recommend the Station House, we loved it.
-
"The house was extremely well equipped."
Thank you
-
"We enjoyed a fantastic weekend at the cottage, there was everything we needed and much more."
We stayed with our children and grandchildren, the size and space in the house was impressive and the games room was a enjoyed by all, we would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy family get togethers.
-
"Directions to house should state that it is accessed through the same gate as the dog rescue centre."
As it is confusing. The gate opens automatically but the notice on the gate says it is locked when rescue centre is not open.
-
"Absolutely perfect dog and children cottage with enclosed garden and amazing games room."
The only negative was Condover itself. The cottage is not a walkable distance from the village, very narrow lanes with more cars than expected. Having said that we would like to return as the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
-
"We locked ourselves out of the property about half an hour after arriving- not used to Yale keys!"
The Sykes member of staff was extremely helpful and contacted the owner, who arrived about ten minutes later, in the rain, in her dressing gown, having just got out of the shower! Dedication to the property =100%! She was so lovely and friendly. From then on, the holiday just got better. The property had everything described online, but more in character than could be described. The owner has really tried to think of everything that you might need. Even had 2 fridges in case the main one was full. Dishwasher..yay! The owner had left us some welcoming cake and wine, and milk, tea and coffee. Perfect ! The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable, and views from the windows were great. We and our adult sons and their partners were easily able to gather around the dining table to eat, and the sitting room was comfortable- could perhaps have done with one more upholstered chair but we managed fine. The "boys" were really happy with the x box for a game one afternoon, and the dogs enjoyed playing in the gardens and on the playing fields just up the road. The village of Condover is a short walk away down the little road (Station Road) , and there is a Post office there. It is a peaceful village with a lovely church and some quaint houses. The trains on the Shrewsbury line are little (one or two carriages) and whoosh past- right next to the house but do not disturb. A couple of comments- 1. If you are not used to the countryside and do not like walking on single track roads, this would not be ideal for you. We loved it- climbing up onto the banking to avoid the odd tractor and all! The skylarks singing in the field next to the road more than made up for that! 2. The house is next to a small dog kennels/rehoming kennel. The dogs were quiet overnight, and barked a bit first thing in the morning and in the afternoon- feeding times, I'd guess. Kennel staff and walkers sometimes park near the holiday home. We visited in autumn and were glad of the central heating. Plus we have hayfever so the bare fields were a bonus- we were able to watch the farmer ploughing! I gather that crops are grown in the fields nearby, which could have affected us if we'd visited in the summer! A fantastic property with lovely owners. I would certainly recommend.

"A large well equipped comfortable house with loads of plates, pots and pans, cutlery etc."
We had 2 toddlers and were supplied with 2 high chairs, stair gate, cot and travel cot. The games room is great for children with lots of games and toys for all ages. It’s an old station and as mentioned in the information the trains run past very close to the house. During the day they didn’t bother us at all, but the Friday night I had the window open in the bedroom nearest to the track and they were quite loud. The next night I closed the window and noise was much reduced. Other members of our party didn’t even notice any problem at night. There is a lovely big cooker for producing meals for a big group and a great dining table. Lots of positives for this house, there was just a couple of negatives. We don’t have dogs and there was a slight doggy odour in the house, but it does say dogs are allowed, so can’t say too much about that. The other negative was that there were lots of towels supplied but the bath towels were quite small, not really enough for a six foot plus man to walk from the bathroom and be quite decent!! Overall we had a very enjoyable weekend at Station House for 3 generations celebrating a 30th birthday.
-
"We loved our stay at Station House."
We were a large group of 8 adults and two toddlers, and the house suited us perfectly! The children loved watching the trains go past and playing in the well-equipt playroom. The owners had thought of everything and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.
-
"The house was amazing: bright and roomy, equipped with everything we needed."
I cannot find fault with it in any way. We were a mixed group of couples and singles meeting for a reunion and I received overwhelming positive comments from everyone. Thank you very much for facilitating our holiday with such a welcoming and comfortable venue.
-
"Considering we booked the property due to a last minute change in our holiday the owner couldn't of been more helpful!"
It was a weekend away for my father in laws 60th birthday and it was perfect. We managed to enjoy quality family time PLUS a BBQ in between the rain showers. Thank you so much for everything you did!
-
"3 generation of our family enjoyed a super weekend here."
Sue, the owner, could not have been more helpful. The house was spotless, the kitchen very well equipped and the games room was a godsend for our two young grandchildren because the weather was not too kind. We would certainly stay here again if in the area.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at the Station House."
The house was extremely well equipped in all areas and beds were comfortable. Our children really enjoyed the play room which had a wonderful array of toys for all ages from baby toys to wooden train sets and lego and even an air hockey table and X-box for older children. The house was very spacious with plenty of living accommodation for a large group to spread out across and was spotlessly clean. The train track does run right past the back of the house and the trains pass quite frequently. This was pointed out in the cottage details so was not a surprise and in fact the noise didn't bother us at all and seeing the trains whiz past while we were eating only added to the excitement for the children. We would highly recommend this cottage!
-
"As usual, Sykes Cottages support during the booking process and leading up to the holiday was great, arranging a high chair and a cot on our behalf."
When we arrived at Station House, the property was all we could have wished. It was the perfect venue for our short break with all our family, with a games room complete with lots of games, a large lounge for chilling out, a formal dining room for large family meal times and a well equipped family kitchen for preparing large meals. Upstairs there was plenty of comfortable bedrooms and enough bathrooms to go around. Station House itself has a long history dating back to 1852, including 106 years as a railway station and although it still sits on the train line, the traffic was light and actually added to the excitement of our grandchildren and fun of the adults. It certainly did not spoil the tranquility of the setting in a beautiful part of Shropshire, complete with great walking and hiking all around.

"Our weekend was fantastic."
The cottage is wonderful and so well equipped as a holiday let. The only suggestion would be to provide information in the folder about recycling. Many thanks Best wishes

"Station House was perfect for our family holiday."
