Dr Rodgers October 2019

“Had the most wonderful time at this cottage with our 3 year old & 6 month old.”

Well equipped, cosy & very welcoming hosts. Our oldest loved going to feed the chickens & there was plenty of space for him to run around. Lovely surrounding area with lots to do. Would definitely recommend.

Mrs Wickham August 2019

“Sutherlands Drift was a great place for a family of three generations.”

The boys loved being on a farm, and granny enjoyed the peace of the setting. Lovely garden, and plenty of space for six of us. It was an excellent centre for exploring the area with the Ironbridge Gorge very near, beautiful countryside and walks and also not too far to Birmingham. Stephanie was really helpful in giving advice on trips and ensuring we were happy.

- Mrs Wickham, August 2019
Mrs Owen July 2019

“Sutherland’s Drift was a superb place to stay.”

We are 3 generations and the accommodation suited us very well. Such a peaceful farm setting, full of amazing bird life. It was lovely to see the farm animals from the barn conversion. The host was very friendly and informative on the local area. We all loved it and would definitely stay again!

- Mrs Owen, July 2019
Mrs Simcock May 2019

“Had a fantastic week at Sutherlands Drift and will most probably stay there again.”

Stephanie was very welcoming. We enjoyed having fresh eggs every day and it was lovely to wake up every morning to birdsong and the sheep bleating in the fields. The swallows were fascinating. Our grandchildren visited us and wanted to stay but unfortunately they had to go to nursery the next day. Great place for young and old alike.

- Mrs Simcock, May 2019
Mr Hewer February 2019

“Sutherland drift was everything we hoped for, and more.”

Quiet & comfortable, private and well hosted. Our children (8 and 11) loved the animals being around and the cottage had everything that we look for in a relaxing break.

- Mr Hewer, February 2019
Mr Skoczylas December 2018

“We had a very enjoyable family Christmas at Sutherland's Drift.”

The accommodation was just right, with ample room inside and outside for our toddlers to move about: they particularly liked to see the farm animals.

- Mr Skoczylas, December 2018
Mrs Crouch September 2018

“This barn conversion is wonderful.”

It's spacious, clean, extremely well equipped and very comfortable. It's on a working farm and the animals are visible from your windows. The chickens are always running around and their eggs are available to buy. It's central for lots of places of interest, Shrewsbury, Newport, Much Wenlock, Ironbridge, Whitchurch all within easy reach and Ludlow a bit further afield. The owner is a lovely person and very happy to help. All in all a lovely place to stay.

- Mrs Crouch, September 2018
Rev Clowes August 2018

“The cottage was ideal for our family and was interesting as it is a converted barn on a working farm.”

The owner, Stephanie, is very friendly and helpful. It is in a good location for north Shropshire.

- Rev Clowes, August 2018
Mrs Maxfield June 2018

“Traveled with our 2yr old daughter to look for a house in Telford.”

This was the perfect place we all loved it especially our daughter who got to wake up to farm animals everyday a walk around the farm, we hated leaving. The property had everything you need for your stay we can't fault any of it? The owner was a lovely lady and made you feel welcome and even brought round fresh eggs. Will stay again even when we move to Telford.

- Mrs Maxfield, June 2018
Mrs Dillon May 2018

“Great holiday home, very well equipped & in a beautiful, peaceful setting.”

Lots of places to visit near buy.

- Mrs Dillon, May 2018
Mrs Maltby May 2018

“Sutherlands Drift is a superb barn conversion with absolutely everything you could wish for in a holiday home.”

The master bedroom is exceptional and the other two bedrooms offer every comfort. The views from the windows and the doors to the garden are beautiful, allowing us to watch lambs from our bed! The living area is very spacious and yet is still cosy. The kitchen is very well equipped and the whole cottage was immaculately clean when we arrived. The welcome we received from Stephanie was warm and friendly and she gave us lots of useful information. The bird hide on the farm is an added bonus as we love bird spotting. The box of chocolates waiting for us in the kitchen was a lovely surprise. The internet connection was consistently good. Thank you to everyone we met on the farm during our stay. We're already looking forward to a return visit.

- Mrs Maltby, May 2018
Miss Wright March 2018

“Sutherland's Drift is a lovely property.”

Very comfortable & views from lounge area to The Wrekin are stunning.The owners are very kind & helpful & we would love to go back for a stay again in the future. The only drawback we encountered was the Wifi, where you couldn't have more than 1 person using their iPad at any time. this isn't the owner's fault. Broadband signals can be very hit and miss in rural areas. Shrewsbury & Much Wenlock are not far away & we also visited Attingham which is a National Trust property & had a very interesting day out. Lots to see and do in surrounding areas & would thoroughly recommend property & hope to go back in the future for another holiday. Jo Wright
