“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.

“A lovely house, beautifully maintained and equipped.”

Extremely dog friendly with a secure garden surrounded by fields.
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.

“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.

“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.

“Lovely cottage in a lovely location.”

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

“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.

“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.

“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.

The property

Shrewsbury 14 miles.

A lovely semi-detached cottage sits in a rural position between the delightful towns of Shrewsbury, being 14 miles away, and Whitchurch, being 8 miles away.

Decorated to a high standard with beautiful features, this retreat makes a lovely base to relax, ideal for couples or travellers wanting to get away from it all.

Inside you will be welcomed by a lovely kitchen, freshly designed with a dining table for four people, perfect for a cosy meal in the evening.

The sitting room boasts a snug feel, centred by a woodburning stove, ideal on those cooler nights, and a homely sofa for some well-deserved relaxation.

French doors open out to the garden ideal for some fresh air on a sunny afternoon.

After a fabulous night in with your loved ones, you will look forward to a good night’s sleep in either of the two magnificent bedrooms, each as promising as the next.

Complete with soft furnishings and bedside lamps, a soothing ambience flows throughout leaving you spoilt for choice during your stay.

To tie all of this together, views of the fields lie in the distance, and a family bathroom completes the interior in a modern fashion, featuring a bath with a rainfall shower over.

Guests have complimentary access to the private estate of Soulton Hall within a few minutes of the property.

Also on the doorstep is Hawkstone Follies which is a great place to enjoy some great walking within the historic woodland fantasy with cliffs, crags, caves, deep woods and a series of extraordinary monuments.

The town of Shrewsbury and city of Chester offer a superb selection of independent and high street shops, not forgetting plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants and pubs, as well as the visitor attractions, such as the Chester Roman Amphitheatre and the world-famous city walls as well as the Chester Racecourse.
