“A really good property in a fabulous location.”

If you are after peace and quiet I would definitely recommend.

“This was our 3rd visit to Acorn Cottages.”

Every time we have been greeted like family by the hosts (Robert and Barbara). The cleanliness was second to none, and the cottage was comfortable as always. Beautiful countryside location, great for stargazing at night (no light pollution). Thank you to the Cookseys for their hospitality as always. Plenty in the local area to do. Good local pubs (we highly recommended the Red Lion just down the road at Myddle). Supermarkets about 15-20 minutes away.

“Fridge with ice box would be very useful rather than fridge /freezer.”

“Great little cottage!”

Far exceeded our expectations and was far better than it looked online. Our only suggestion would be to reduce some of the furniture in the main room to make a bit more space! For a family of 5 that would have been ideal!

“I can really say we had a wonderful stay in acorn2 cottage.”

First time we've had a holiday like this and totally impressed with all the facilities and amenities. The cottage itself is extremely well equipped and presented to a very high standard. Being on a farm, I thought it might be a bit noisy at times but it was so quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very helpful on arrival with general information and were around if you needed anything. This is a place I would stay in again.

Mrs Tempest October 2020

“Lovely and clean.”

Much larger cottage than expected and well equipped. Fridge space a little small, and no ice tray in freezer compartment. No instructions for cooker or TV. Could do with a radio in the cottage. No recycling bins.

Miss Duckworth August 2020

“Fabulous spacious cottage.”

Well appointed and extremely clean and comfortable. Very peaceful, rural location but an excellent base to stay whilst exploring the many attractions in the local areas of Shropshire, Wales, Liverpool etc. Extremely friendly and helpful owners who could not do enough for you. Have not visited this area before and didn’t want anywhere crowded this year. Exceeded all our expectations. Really great accommodation in a beautiful area. Highly recommend!

“Lovely cottage, ideally located in a quiet rural area.”

Friendly owners.

- Mr Phillips, July 2020
Mrs Froment July 2020

“A lovely cottage in a quiet location, Robert couldn't have been more helpful and went that extra mile to ensure that our stay was enjoyable.”

Our only comment would be that we'd rather have a dishwasher than a washing machine in the cottage, but that's just our personal preference.

- Mrs Froment, July 2020
Mr Van-holsbeke August 2019

“Really nice owners, and nothing is too much trouble.”

Lovely accommodation, very peaceful location.

“We absolutely love coming to Oakdene farm.”

The owners, Barbara and Robert go above and beyond to ensure a memorable and comfortable stay. This is our second visit this year. This time, Robert was incubating chicken eggs, which started hatching the day before we left. Our son was able to handle the chicks and observe them, which was an amazing experience. Barbara also invited us into her art studio to do some activities, which was great fun! We had a couple of minor issues, but Barbara and Robert helped to rectify them immediately. We cannot praise them enough for the excellent job that they do. A huge thanks to the Cookseys for yet another week of memories.

“This is a comfortable and well appointed cottage, tastefully furnished.”

Being all on the ground floor made access easy for my husband, who has limited mobility. Fixtures and fittings are modern, clean and in good condition. The owners live on-site and are very friendly and helpful. There is a pretty courtyard garden at the front and a large lawned area at the back, both shared with other cottages. The setting is peaceful and tranquil. The only downside is that - as stated in the description - the WiFi is very weak so we used a lot of 4G and couldn't stream anything. But we had a lovely time and would like to return in the future.

“Super accomodation , well decorated & spotlessly clean .”

Plenty of room to relax & such a bonus to have 2 bath/shower rooms ! Set on a picturesque farm up a country lane overlooking beautiful Shropshire countryside. Would highly recommend Acorn Cottage......the hosts welcoming and genuinely friendly! Nice touches ..bath & shower gel, pint of milk in fridge tea & coffee and even a packet of biscuits to welcome us after a long drive!
