Johnsons Smallholding

Johnson's smallholding was an ansolutely beautiful property.

Despite seeing the pictures online, when we walked through the door, we were all wowed! The garden was secure and our labrador loved patrolling the perimeter. Its in the middle of nowhere so was very peaceful. Fresh country air and the sound of sheep nearby. Amazing. The only improvement I can think of is for the kitchen windows to have blinds or curtains. I've clearly watched too many scary films, as I got a little spooked at night. But other than that minor detail, 10 out of 10. Please let me know if you ever decide to sell. This is a dream home!

If you want a relaxing holiday, this is the place.

No neighbours . Lovely and peaceful. The ideal place to unwind.

We had a great time at Johnson's Smallholding - a beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

The large garden was tranquil but, with a small dog, we weren't confident that he couldn't get through the wide gauge fencing. Consequently we kept him on the lead the whole week, which was a shame. It would be perfect for a dog >10kg though. We were there during the heatwave and, as someone else commented, a freezer would have been great - there's space for it in the kitchen. Likewise a fan would have been welcome. However these were niggles on an otherwise excellent stay.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

Cottage was extremely clean and gardens are lovely and secure with lots of wildlife. Great location and very easy to get to lots of attractions or nature walks. Only two negatives, one is that there are no wardrobes and only one tiny rail to hang clothes on and the other negative which was quite a downside for us was that the fridge is rather small and there is no freezer, the freezer shelf in fridge is only suitable for ice cubes, anything other than that just melts, there really needs to be a better fridge and a freezer put into shed, we were at cottage during the heatwave and really struggled because we couldn't have lots of chilled drinks, food or ice creams etc. We would return here as it is beautiful, would be absolutely perfect if not for fridge and freezer situation.

Fabulous location if you are looking for some peace and quiet.

We really enjoyed our stay - ideal location for exploring the canal network.

We spent a lovely week here and it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

The dogs loved the quiet, secluded garden which is totally enclosed. The villagers in nearby Calverhall were very welcoming and the Old Jack pub serves excellent food too. It was a good base for exploring the surrounding area and we visited Nantwich, Whitchurch and beautiful gardens at Cholmondely Castle and Chirk Castle.

Fantastic place for a family of four.

Inside, it's spacious, comfortable, light, airy, tastefully decorated and well equipped. Outside, there are two massive gardens, plus a converted double garage with a handy table tennis table, and a Webber charcoal barbecue. It's so tranquil - you can just sit outside in the evenings and listen to the birdsong from the woods behind, and it's set just outside the lovely village of Calverhall, which has a good pub with decent bar meals, and a decent play park nearby for young kids. Plenty of day trips nearby too. And the owners were great, responding very quickly and helpfully to a couple of small queries we had. We will definitely return.

A stunning secluded property, well equipped, well maintained, and well presented.

The garden wrapping right around the cottage was dog friendly, and the beautiful hedges gave a real sense of privacy... not that there was anyone for miles around anyway! The ground source heat pump provided just the right level of steady warmth as well as ample piping hot water for the exceptional shower and bath. We were really impressed by the surrounding area, and had some great walks - particularly Audlem and on the National Trust's Erddig Estate.

Johnsons smallholding was an absolutely fantastic cottage in a quiet and tranquil setting.

It had everything we needed and was a brilliant base to explore Shropshire and parts of Wales. We had such a fabulous holiday and plan to come back next year. Thank you

We had a brilliant stay.

Beautiful cottage, lovely fixtures and fittings and very well equipped. The garden was amazing for the dogs. The setting was so peaceful, with only the sheep for neighbours. The only slightly downside we wish the cottage was a little warmer. Although we had some very unseasonable weather. We would definitely return.

Absolutely stunning cottage with a huge, private garden, totally shut off from the world.

Neighbours were just a couple of sheep ... couldn't ask for more! The cottage was spotless and perfectly clean. Ideal for a peaceful retreat.

We had a lovely week the place is spotlessly clean throughout, there's a lovely big bathroom and a great shower.

The dogs loved the spacious garden to, so we've booked again for 2026

Wonderful cottage and garden.

Absolutely loved it Would recommend it 100%. Will be coming back. Could easily live there everything you need and more.
