Mrs Jolliff August 2019

“A lovely cottage, very well equipped and clean.”

We were surprised to find ourselves so far from the rest of the cottages and facilities, although we didn't mind as it was nice and quiet, but you could add to the listing that this cottage is a few minutes walk from the games room etc. Also it is all ground floor but there are two steps within the property which would cause a problem for some people.

- Mrs Jolliff, August 2019
Mr Higgs May 2019

“It was a beautiful weekend.”

Thank you

Mrs Day October 2018

“The cottages at Plaish Farm are of an exceptional standard.”

We actually used Turnip House more than Spinney Retreat which is an excellent cottage - spacious, light and airy. However the biggest plus are the facilities on offer - we used the tennis court and games rooms (particularly table tennis) - although we didn't use the swimming pool facility. The walk around the perimeter of the farm grounds (taking in the lakes) was another highlight.

- Mrs Day, October 2018
Tuckey August 2018

“The cottage felt like home.”

The owners were so friendly and have put so much thought into making sure everything you might need is in the property. The extras like the games room. Go karts, tennis; swing ball in the garden. Cupboard full of toys and puzzles for small children. Country walk all signposted, little boat on the lake which our teenagers loved. They allowed my husband a ride on the combine. The swimming pool is absolutely amazing so luxurious and a gym too.. The location is perfect for exploring Shropshire. There was information galore in the cottage on eating out, places to visit, as well as The owner telling us of great places to go. There is nothing I could say at all that would be negative. We all loved it, even our 14 and 15 year old who are very hard to please. We left the cottage as a very happy family. Although I had to hold back the tears as I didn't want to leave.

- Tuckey, August 2018
Mr Price August 2018

“In over 20 years of holiday cottages this has to be my number one destination for all round facilities and friendliness.”

My great grandson was buzzing all week with go-karts swimming pool farm animals rowing boat and even a ten minute ride on the farmers tractor.My two dogs and myself enjoyed the hour long circular walk from the cottage every morning.Will definitely go back again.

- Mr Price, August 2018

“Home from Home”

Travelled with my husband and two teenagers - 13 and 16 year olds. Packed my tiny car full to bursting only to find a well equipped cottage on our arrival. Gorgeous setting, lovely cottage, absolutely everything there that we needed and then some. The tennis court, pool tables and table tennis were an added bonus. There was a CD player in each room and a piano in one and my daughter felt it necessary to play her limited amount of tunes (about six) to us repeatedly although it was good practise for her upcoming exam! The go-karts were a huge success. My 16 year old son is extremely tall and we doubted there would be one to fit him but there was - they catered from the very tiny to the very grown-up big kid! These facilities are just a two or three minute walk from the cottage. When leaving the driveway, turn right and follow the road around the corner and the owners other rental properties are there along with the games - just go through the huge gate. We made the mistake of turning left the first time, I would definitely book here again and have no hesitation of recommending it. Thank you for a lovely vacation.

- krobson4, August 2016
Mrs Robson July 2016

“A lovely cottage which was very welcoming.”

It had absolutely everything you need and more! The tennis court, karts and pool table were a brilliant touch and the kids loved it. The morning after our arrival the owner rang to make sure everything was OK and to give us some tips which was a lovely touch as well.

- Mrs Robson, July 2016
Mr Mills February 2016

Mr Sampson August 2015

“Accommodation far superior to what expected.”

Perfect home from home, lacking absolutely nothing. Owners very friendly and obliging. Perfect stable conversion well done to the owners. Beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend this property.

- Mr Sampson, August 2015
gamekeeper1 June 2015

“What a lovely property and what a stunning area”

Booked this stable conversion for a week in May. We were delighted with the property - much larger than we had expected with lots of thoughtful and kind extras from the shortcake biscuits and jar of wild flowers on arrival to the coffee/tea/milk supplies (very unusual for holiday cottages and much appreciated for an immediate cuppa and biscuit). Very quiet location in absolutely stunning countryside around Church Stretton which also can as a wonderful surprise to us as we did not know the area at all. Would recommend without hesitation but do look out for those narrow lanes in the area.

- gamekeeper1, June 2015
Dr Parkins April 2015

“A great location for accessing the many tourist attractions in the area.”

Had a fabulous on-site play area and great short walks around the farm. It was fab to be able to collect eggs from the chickens, ride the pony, and look at all of the animals - overall a great family break!

- Dr Parkins, April 2015
Mrs Wejszko February 2015

A FlipKey verified reviewer August 2014

“Superb attention to detail”

This was our first cottage holiday rental and we feel that the bar has been set so high that another won't ever be as good. Within minutes of arriving we were contacted by the owner and given local advice. The cottage was very well equipped. We were even given 2 vases of fresh flowers. We had access to the farm and were fortunate to see lambs born and bottle feed the orphans. If you wanted eggs, you helped yourself from the chickens.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, August 2014
Mrs Burton July 2014

“Very homely.”

Nice small touches - fresh flowers etc. Fantastic activities for all ages. Open access to the farm, grounds etc. good information about walks etc. Having the information as to what to feed the various animals so we could get the fun and pleasure of feeding the pigs and horses.

- Mrs Burton, July 2014
Mr Friendship March 2014

“We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, with a phone call from the owner.”

The play area was outstanding and enjoyed by all 3 generations! During our stay, we were able to bottle feed orphan lambs and the highlight had to be witnessing the birth of some lambs. The children enjoyed collecting eggs and having a pony ride, we enjoyed the wood-burner in the evenings. This was our first Sykes holiday and we all felt that the bar has been set high.

- Mr Friendship, March 2014
Mrs Barnes November 2013

“We enjoyed the peaceful location, and comfortable seating, which was enhanced by the cosy wood burning stove!”

We would be happy to come again. Plenty of local walks, and lots to do for families just down the road. Highly recommended!

“An Excellent Retreat”

Spinney Retreat is an excellent holiday let. It has everything a family of four would need and more. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, comfortable lounge. That last mile and half down the single track road proved annoying at night but fine during the day. Highly recommended.

“Extremely clean, relaxing and amazing amenities for our 13 year”

Firstly I would like to say thank you to the agent and Sara the owner as we were let down by somebody else and this was done in extreme late notice! The cottage is extremely clean with all the amenitites you need, we were 4 minutes away from Plaish Farm where we enjoyed playing tennis, go karting (adult ones too), cycling and football. This is an ideal place for a family especially if you have 1 child, they will make friends in the play barn so you can enjoy a glass of wine by the wood fire like myself and my partner! Will definately return.

“A delightful week in Shropshire”

We had fabulous weather for the time of year which probably enhanced our stay in this beautiful area of England. The cottage we rented was owned and run by a very friendly family, they invited us to be hands on with feeding their pigs and collecting fresh eggs from their chickens, this all added to our enjoyment. The little we saw of the other of the cottages they had for rent only confirmed that these owners were dedicated to ensuring their guests enjoyed a true country cottage experience. Our cottage was well equipped and more than met our expectations.I would highly recommend this area and these cottages to anyone, they were suitable for all ages and abilities.

In an ideal location for visiting the many varied attractions and historic towns of Shrewsbury,Ludlow, Iron Bridge. Good local pubs and eating out. Accomodation was spacious, well fitted, clean and quiet in this country estate even the local dogs came to see us and make a fuss.

Excellent converted stables block, very comfortable bedrooms and lounge and well appointed bathroom and kitchen with everything needed for self catering holidays.

“Rural Shropshire at its best”

My husband, myself and our two labradors enjoyed a very pleasant short break at this very pleasant cottage. The property was great if you have dogs as there was abit of rough ground opposite for late night and early morning outings and some fabulous and interesting farm walks. Cottage was well equipped ideal if you'd had a less abled guest as there was a wet room and only one or two steps between the rooms. Our only excitement was when the smoke alarm went off and positioned up in the rafters we couldn't switch it off! Luckily help arrived in the form of the landlord! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.

The Joneses were very helpful and sorted a couple of queries promptly, and kept us supplied with wood for the log burner! There was lots of information about the surrounding area supplied which was very useful. The surrounding countryside is superb, and it is an ideal base for walkers and nature lovers - or if you just want to get away from everything.
