“Although we did not meet the owners, we had the feeling they cared about us - little nice things like a welcome basket or a bottle of champaign for new year's eve.”

The property is indeed difficult to find - a nice neighbour helped us. Could you provide some exact location, e.g. via google maps, together with the key collection details? Although the directions are correct and clear our clever navigation system managed to outsmart us.
Mr Marsh December 2019

“What a cosy charming cottage, we really enjoyed our stay here nice bright rooms, good size garden & ample parking spaces, I have already recommended this cottage.”
Mrs Meacher November 2019

“Cottage was excellent- facilities excellent- lovely big enclosed garden which our dog loved.”

Bit remote for walking anywhere with our dog. nearest shop/pub not walkable. No issues with cottage at all and would stay again. Only thing was photo shows tv in main bedroom and there isn’t one. Sykes as a company we had a couple of issues with them/staff.

Mr Arnill July 2019

“A really good cottage in a good location, the welcome basket was much appreciated”
Mrs Dews June 2019

“A very well-equipped cottage.”

We really appreciated the dog-friendly garden.
Mr Wyncoll June 2019

“The Cottage is in a great location, very little traffic noise, the grounds are larger than it looks in the photo and very well kept.”

A lot of thought has gone into providing all you could possibly need and more, with great attention to detail even down to a pair of binoculars to watch the birds with and some bird seed! The dog is also provided for, with a bowel, towels, and biscuits! also toys for small children (a good location as it's away from the road with plenty of space for them.) Breakfast cereal, biscuits, wine, and milk were provided! also comprehensive information of all you could need to know. The bedrooms, Bathroom, Kitchen and downstairs toilet all excellent, we don't have a bad word to say about anything!
Mrs Singer May 2019

“Ploughmans Cottage was very comfortable the decore was lovely the whole of the cottage was so clean.”

After we had such along journey and being so tired it was a pleasure to go into the cottage and see how lovely it was it lived up to the photographs on the web sight.The basket with the goodies was very thoughtful.
Mrs Pearson May 2019

“Best cottage we've stayed in for quite some time.”

Thoughtful decor and very comfortable with a lovely super king bed in main bedroom. Bathroom was very spacious with a very powerful shower and good sized bath. Beautiful big garden for our dog to run around in. Loved watching the rabbits and birds.

“Lovely cosy pet friendly cottage”

Lovely cottage, large well kept private garden with table and chairs for sitting out, we had sun,sun sun. Lots of off road parking. Cottage is lovely. Loads of character, refurbished to a high standard. Wifi and log burner - super cosy. Really well equipped kitchen.Modern bathroom with shower and bath and lots of hot water. There was a lovely welcome basket, really made us feel at home. The cottage was very clean. Great for dogs-he had a basket and towels provided for him too. Garden properly dog proof so able to let him out to run in the big garden without worrying. Shops not too far away-Whitchurch, which also has takeways etc. Area great to explore lots to do-way more than we thought. Could of stayed much longer and not been bored. We will be back
Miss Gillyon April 2019

“I recently visited ploughman's cottage for a long weekend with the family, I really enjoyed my stay and was relaxing.”

I would definitely visit again in the future. The cottage had everything you thinked off from tea bags and milk on arrival to a lovely hamper full of goodies.
Mr Roxbee Cox April 2019

“Wow! What a fantastic cottage: beautifully converted to a high standard, very well equipped, and very clean.”

(Not so much as a stray dog hair to suggest that pets are welcome.) I'm 6ft 7in tall and my son is 6ft 3in and - along with his sensibly-sized mother - we found Ploughman's Cottage spacious with plenty of comfortable seats in the sitting room, and generous-sized beds. There's a decent-sized bathroom with shower and bath AND plenty of hot water for three hot showers in a row (maybe more). Fantastic views from just about every room and, despite such a close road, wonderfully quiet with the double-glazing. The photos don't do the garden justice and there is wonderful birdsong, with bird-seed provided. The location is ideal for day trips to Shrewsbury, the Ironbridge Museums, Hawkstone Park Folllies, and some wonderful walks. Previous visitors have enthused about the welcome basket and I can see why - containing everything from red wine to homemade jam - but it's also a good indication of the warmth of the welcome and the attention to detail. We were very lucky with the weather - sunshine, sunshine, sunshine - but, had we decided to spend more time in the cottage, it would have been a wonderful place to read and relax. Would we recommend Ploughman's Cottage to anyone else? You'd better believe it! Five stars.
Mrs Rogers April 2019

“Nice cottage,nice garden,nice area,what more can I say.”

We will be going back.
Mrs Maunders March 2019

“Lovely cottage with a rural outlook.”

Cosy but modern interior with everything we needed. The welcome basket was a thoughtful touch, and the beds were really comfortable. We enjoyed the log burner during our visit, which made it even cosier. Tidy private garden which would be great to sit out in on a Summer evening. Access to walks at nearby Soulton Hall was good too; we enjoyed a walk through the woods. The cottage is situated close to Whitchurch for shopping, restaurants and pubs, plus close to road network for tourist visits to places a little further afield.
Mrs Knowles February 2019

“A lovely house, beautifully maintained and equipped.”

Extremely dog friendly with a secure garden surrounded by fields.
Mr Fisher October 2018

“A lovely cottage for a relaxing break.”

I was most impressed by the services of Sykes in attending to every detail to ensure our holiday went as smoothly as possible--a real pleasure to deal with.
Miss Wilson September 2018

“Lovely setting, the cottage was a perfect base to visit many sites & some nice local walks, warm & comfortable.”

The welcome basket was a lovely touch & the dog welcome.Would definately return, next year. Highly recommend & reasonable price.
Mrs Haigh-jones September 2018

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful rural location, which is also convenient for visiting many towns, such as Shrewsbury, Chester, etc.”

, plus various National Trust properties. Cottage is equipped with virtually anything that one might need and there was a comprehensive welcome pack. Although there are no wardrobes because of the sloping ceilings on the first floor, (which adds to the character), there are plenty of hooks and a good supply of hangers and we found it more than adequate for our needs for a week long holiday. The Super-king size bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable, though the pure cotton bedding does rustle a bit! :-) We would be more than happy to stay here again, if we planned a holiday in the same area.
Miss Jane August 2018

“Fabulous cottage with everything you could think of.”

Wonderful welcome basket and very homely. We really enjoyed our stay, you can really tell the owners go out of their way to think of everything for your comfort. The only negative I could mention is that there was some noise from the nearby road.
Mrs Fish July 2018

“Something to be considered when booking this cottage.”

.. you have to drive everywhere it isn’t safe to walk on the main roads due to the heavy traffic and no paths.
Mr Crossland July 2018

“Lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

Welcome pack exceeded our expectations. Had a great time and would definitely go back. Thank you very much.
Mrs Thoroughgood June 2018

“One or two things.”

no nonslip mat in bath and shower this could be potentialy dangerous. pity no wardrobes im sure theres scope for at least one. could be improved with a small patio. garden needs weeding. all in all these are small things but need pointing out. the cottage is most comfortable and enjoyed our stay.
Mr Robinson May 2018

“A lovely cottage on the edge of farm land and no neighbours.”

A comprehensive basket of goodies including wine was there to greet us and a dog basket including doggy towels for our Lhasa Apso. NOTE: The two single beds put together in the main bedroom were the most comfortable my wife and I have ever slept in including our own at home.
Mrs Hansford April 2018

“Whilst on the whole the cottage was what we expected we were extremely disappointed and inconvenienced by the fact that there were no wardrobes anywhere in the accommodation.”

All that was available were a row of four/five hooks in each bedroom with eight hangers between two bedrooms. Due to this we had to locate the nearest Argos and go out on arrival to purchase a hanging rail which was not at all what we expected to do. However, I do appreciate that not all buildings can accommodate all features but strongly believe that not to be made aware of this is wrong. On the plus side the owners left an extremely generous welcome pack which was lovely and very much appreciated and as I said the cottage was what we expected and we did have a relaxing holiday and did enjoy staying there - thank you.
Mrs Madani March 2018

“This was a lovely cottage to stay in, the owners seemed to have gone the extra mile to help us have a nicest stay possible!”

There were four adults and a baby and a dog, but it still felt plenty big enough, and everything was carried out to a high standard. Overall, a really nice place to stay - we would highly recommend.
