"We loved our stay at Lake View Cottage, a most beautiful house."
It provided everything that you could possibly need. It was clean, warm, cosy and delightfully relaxing. Lots of places to visit and lovely pubs to eat at not too far away. We loved the animals and enjoyed a walk around the lake. The garden, shrubs, flowers and trees are lovely. We enjoyed watching a few of the large collection of DVD’s and the amount of books and games available are amazing. It was definitely a place you looked forward to coming back to after a busy day.

"We had a great stay at Lake View Cottage."
It's a fantastic property and the hosts (Julie and Andrew) were so welcoming and attentive - even going to the effort of telling us when it was a good night to see the sunset or look out for the blood moon or stars! Property was very spacious - more than ample room for us as a family of 6. The children really enjoyed the selection of books, games and DVDs! It was a peaceful base from which to explore a lot of Shropshire. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property

"What a lovely property, quite unique."
Yes as other guests have said the access road is a pain but the property itself makes it worthwhile, extremely spacious and well laid out. So peaceful to sit either upstairs or downstairs and just look out towards the fields and lake. Really enjoyed our stay.

The owners kindly left a bottle of wine and chocolates for us. We enjoyed seeing the sheep, donkeys and ducks as well as the cheeky squirrel. Julie contacted us promptly when she found we had left behind a set of keys and posted them to us arriving the following day.

"Thanks Julie and Andrew for their welcome pack, the flowers and this extraordinary accommodation in the farm."
This is one of the best accommodation we have ever been, definitely the most spacious one and is immaculately clean, very quiet and the beautiful garden. This has lots of equipment for cooking, lots of books, games,DVD and the friendly animals - the donkeys, the cat, cows and the dog. We had a wonderful week there.

"Absolutely amazing place."
It is an isolated location which is exactly what we were looking for. It’s about a mile from the nearest main road and total peace and tranquility. It’s is extremely well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. There is a lovely mezzanine area on the top floor to relax and admire the beautiful countryside and of course the lake with the bird life. Lots of places to visit in the area. Very friendly owners and animals.

"Lake View Cottage was one of the most memorable holidays we have had over the past 20 years."
The cottage was superb, set in beautiful countryside, and we had the warmest of welcomes from our hosts.The accommodation was absolutely lovely, with space, convenience and comfort of the highest order. There was lots to do all within easy reach: Wales, Chester, the potteries, friendly pubs and restaurants...to name but a few! However, the abiding memories are of peace, tranquility and a wonderful night sky..the latter being something to be savoured when used to town living.

"The cottage was absolutely beautiful, especially the staircase and the mezzanine area, perfect place to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views."
We went after lockdown was eased so the owners were understandably shielding, but were still lovely and welcoming despite having to keep a distance. A number of reviewers have mentioned the road leading up to the cottage. We drove a low profile city car who's wheels are mainly rims and very little tyre and we found that yes, there were some bumpy spots here and there, but you'll be fine if you drive slow and careful. And honestly, when you get to the cottage, whatever little bumps you experienced for 5 minutes will be totally worth it. Our kids loved the neighbouring sheep and donkeys, the very free range chickens and geese were such a novelty too and be sure not to miss the amazing sunsets viewable from the paddock. We were lucky to have a clear night and enjoyed the most amazing star studded sky ever without even having to step out. The cottage itself was beautiful, clean and comfortable, well stocked with all the necessary amenities. We had a brilliant week.

"Lake View Cottage is an absolutely wonderful place to spend time."
Our hostess, Julie, was attentive just at the right times and is such a lovely person. The house itself was amazing and definitely surpassed what we expected to be a lovely place. It is a fantastic space, inside and out, excellently equipped and beautifully, most comfortably furnished.
Although on a farm, there was no disturbance at all and, had we had little ones with us, I understand it would have been possible to see the animals with supervision.
We'd visited with our adult children for a time of rest and relaxation and that is what we experienced, spending most of our time in the home.
The only hurdle is the slow drive down the last mile of country road, due to road condition but it wouldn't stop us going there again. The effort was well worth it.
I highly recommend Lake View Cottage

"We had a great time in this beautiful property."
It is well maintained and has lovely countryside views. There are however a couple of points I would like to raise. The 3 miles from Market Drayton will take 20 minutes to get there. The track to the property certainly feels more than a mile, and to exceed more than 5 miles an hour on it is asking for trouble. It is totally isolated. We walked into Market Drayton across the fields and it is a lovely walk, but you could not do that if you were going out for the evening in nice clothes and shoes. A car is a must. Clearly the owners have spent a lot of money on the property but I would willingly have paid a little more to ensure the occupiers do not have to provide their own toilet rolls, kitchen towel and washing up liquid. All were in short supply. These are only minor niggles and may seem petty to mention, but if the owners were to provide an adequate stock they would be close to having the perfect property.
