6 The Engine Shed

Very comfortable and clean property within easy walking distance of the town.

Everything you could need.

Totallybeautifullyappointed.

Welovedit.

Beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped property in a quiet location close to town centre.

Would definitely recommend.

Very nice town house conversion within a historic building, a few metres from the river and a short walk from the centre of Shrewsbury.

Thoroughly recommend No 6 The Engine Shed to anyone looking for a short break in Shrewsbury. We had a lovely few days there.

A delightful property within walking distance of the town with all its shops, bars, restaurants and the theatre.

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in and should we be in the area again, would definitely choose to stay here. So much thought and detail has gone into the decor and furnishings and the addition of fresh flowers is a first for us, a lovely touch. The sitting out area is very pleasant and the railway does not impact at all. All in all, just perfect.

Beautiful property

We have stayed in many cottages over the years.

This was by far the cleanest, lots of attention to detail. The fresh flowers, welcome pack, umbrellas, kitchen extras, comfy beds, fresh bed linen, comprehensive information folder. The location gave us easy access to town and station on foot. We were also invited to enter the property early as it was ready. This was a kind gesture as it enabled us to drop off our cases. Thank you Katie.

The Engine shed was a delight.

Absolutely spotless in every aspect. The hosts could not do more to ensure a home from home stay and a wonderful holiday. A fully equipped kitchen enabling a full Easter dinner. A welcome pack , the flowers were beautiful and a special touch, with plenty of information on places to go and things to do. I would Highly recommend.

This was our first visit to the Engine Shed, but hopefully not the last.

Wow. It is simply fabulous. This is without a doubt the best self-catering accommodation we have stayed in over 25 years. It has absolutely everything we needed, including kitchen scales (which is a first, ours remained in our 'holiday box'). There is good quality furniture and furnishings, the kitchen and bathrooms are. fantastic and beautifully finished. The whole house was spotless, the and the fresh flowers were a lovely touch and appreciated. The bedding and towels are of excellent quality and smelt amazing for the whole week. We were hardly aware of the railway, and the environment is quiet with friendly residents. It's only a short walk into town, and convenient for the train and bus stations. We'd like to thank the owners for giving us the opportunity to stay in this lovely house. It's hard work maintaining a property to this standard, and they are doing a first class job. We absolutely loved it.

Wow, wow, wow.

This has to have been our favourite place so far. Everything you need, all tastefully selected & placed. We prefer accommodation with room to relax in, this was if to a tee, it couldn’t have been any better. The location was ideal, a nice walk into the town centre, plenty of choice to eat & drink, with a nice walk back after. Local pubs close by if you just want a drink. Places of interest within easy reach. We will be returning a great find and a great price.

This is the third time we've stayed at The Engine Shed and we can't recommend it highly enough.

The property owner's attention to detail is exceptional, everything you could possibly need has been considered including thoughtful welcome items. We will certainly return next year.

The house has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard.

Even the towels are high quality. The kitchen is definitely the best equipped we have ever had compared to the numerous other properties we have rented. In a very quiet location whilst only a short walk to the centre of Shrewsbury and the railway station for travelling further afield. Can highly recommend.

Fantastic accommodation, seemed to have been very well put together, everything available within the property that you could possibly think of to need and all good quality and plentiful.

Place was light and airy and well laid out. Good placement for trips into the town and as starting point for excursions further afield. Would definitely visit again as perfect for our needs.

We enjoyed our week at the Engine Shed very much.

The house is in a pleasant location close to the town centre, it is very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Thank you to the owners for letting us stay in this fine house - and also for the welcome basket and the flowers.

Lovely stay as usual.

Thank you!

A wonderful modern town house, three floors with a cool (temperature especially important during recent heatwaves….

we kept windows closed and all blinds drawn shut, it worked) ground floor lounge. The middle floor/mezzanine has a great kitchen and large enough dining area for four or even six people comfortably. Very well equipped, including paper towels etc. And thank you for a very useful welcome tray of biscuits and preserves, and crisps. There are three bedrooms on the top floor, beautifully comfortable together with one large en suite and one large family bathroom. Its tricky to keep these cool in these heatwaves (again!) but essential to close the blinds and windows during the day, until the sun goes down. There’s a ten minute walk into town, where great places to eat include Kanu Poke (vibrant vegan/vegetarian food…so tasty, and filling) and La Mer Rouge (Mediterranean or Middle Eastern menu…delicious). The Sabrina boat trip is short but fun and relaxing alternative to pounding the pavements all day. It was a joy to be able to stay at 6 The Engine Shed, a privilege to relax in a home from home or sit in the lovely garden space and watch the birds…knowing that a few yards away, at certain times of day, the traffic is virtually stationary. Magic!

The Engine Shed is a perfect place to stay, cleanliness, comfort, facilities etc are truly second to none.

Everything you could possibly need is available and the welcome goodies are a lovely touch. We had a wonderful week exploring Shrewsbury and the weather was perfect

This really is a lovely property.

It’s stylish, very comfortable, quiet, and well positioned for enjoying the gorgeous town of Shrewsbury with its shops, cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants. There are wonderful riverside walks from the doorstep, and the surrounding Shropshire and mid Wales countryside is easy to get to. We would highly recommend this property and would return without hesitation.

Very clean and well equipped property.

Short walk to the town and local attractions. Would definitely recommend.

The property was beautiful.

Deco and furnishings were of high quality. Very well equipped for all your needs. Spotlessly clean. Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend

This was our second stay at The Engine Shed.

We couldn't fault the property. It's warm and comfortable, furnished to a high standard and beautifully clean. The owner provides a lovely welcome pack and the house was decorated for Christmas. It's a relatively short walk into Shrewsbury so no parking worries. All in all the perfect stay.

Lovely house well presented.

Very clean and owner very approachable. House just a short walk into town centre. Would highly recommend. Only problem was just 1 parking space but easily resolved with 2nd car parking at train station which is also within easy walking distance to home. Enjoyable weekend had by us all

Lovely property with easy access to Shrewsbury.

High standards of cleaning, homely touches, very well equipped and extremely comfortable beds.

It’s a beautiful, quirky, comfortable house with everything needed supplied.

Tea coffee and milk available when you get there is especially appreciated and the welcome pack is great too, fresh flowers- great first impression. Providing oil, spices, salt and pepper is really welcome, ditto kitchen roll, foil etc. - it’s great that it’s so well equipped. Very thoughtful. Spotlessly clean, lovely rooms - toys for the kids should you have them with you- all in all a great stay. Shrewsbury is absolutely beautiful and the position of the property is great for walking from the front door. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay - the property has that perfect balance of quirky and comfortable, and the location is great for exploring Shrewsbury on foot

Beautifully looked after property.

This was our second year here and it was excellent. Easy walk to the town centre. Couldn’t fault it.

This is a lovely property.

The owner has put a lot of care and attention with many small touches, such as fresh flowers, extra bits and pieces in the cupboards which all make the stay nicer. They all add up to a very welcoming feel to the place. Decor is really tasteful, beds super comfy and super bed linen and towels. Good access to town although local roadworks are impacting a little just now.

Great location for the station, as we travelled by train, and also for the town.

Very well and thoughtfully appointed, home from home.

Great place no complaints at all.

Perhaps could include road numbers as well as road names as we did do a tour of Shrewbury until found property.This just a small suggestion as property was excellent

The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Location is good, being an easy walk into the town centre where there are lot of eating places and shops. It's in a quiet area, though there was an occasional train to be heard in the twin bedroom. We were pleased to find a dishwasher which I didn't see in the listing. The shower in the main bathroom has no screen or curtain so wasn't as usable as we'd hoped. There's plenty to see in the wider area, we had no trouble finding a variety of places to go in our fortnight's stay.

We’ve stayed in a lot of holiday homes and this has to be one of the best.

Perfect location just a 5 min walk to the high street. Very clean and well decorated - it really felt like home. Everything you need is included and we really appreciated the coffee, tea and condiments as well as the welcome pack of local biscuits and sweets. I hope we’ll be back to stay again next year

Extremely well equipped and comfortable with great quality fixtures and facilities the Engine Shed met all our expectations.

We have no hesitation recommending it others

6 The Engine Shed was everything we could have wished for ie comfortable, warm, clean and well equipped.

We appreciated the additional touches such as the welcome pack, fresh flowers and Christmas decor. Thank you we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing house in city centre location.

Spacious and beautifully furnished. All amenties vey good quality . Would stay again in a heartbeat

A warm, clean, comfortable, well equipped and stylish property.

Thank you for a great stay.

Beautiful property within walking distance of the centre.

Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Would definitely recommend it and hope to return in the future.

We couldn't fault anything!

The house is beautifully presented, extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean with very comfy beds. It is in an ideal, peaceful location with an easy riverside walk into town. Contact with the owner was very pleasant and helpful, with amazingly quick response times.

Everything was brilliant - welcome text from Katie, house and garden/outdoor space, all facilities, proximity to Shrewsbury town centre.

Shrewsbury amazing - passed through many times but this was the first time staying there. 1 parking space great for us. Bins in a safe building. Neighbours really friendly. Loved it - thank you :)

We were a family of 6 and had a very enjoyable stay at the Engine Shed.

An easy walk into Shrewsbury and several nearby pubs. The property was well designed and we were all impressed with the facilities provided. Despite trying very hard to find something that hadn't been provided, there was nothing else we could have wished for! When we arrived we were greeted with a welcome pack including milk, biscuits and fresh flowers.

What a lovely welcome to the engine room.

Super clean & tidy. Fresh flowers, milk in the fridge and a few treats too. A vast amount of towels so all rooms catered for. The very comprehensive book about the appliances etc as well as places to visit was incredibly helpful. The property itself offered plenty of room for all and the posh hand-wash & hand cream was delightful. I had one query regarding additional parking, Katie answered the phone promptly and offered ideas. The engine shed is very close to town and Shrewsbury itself is an absolute delight. I'd like to add that I am a support worker, I stayed at the property with 2 people with Down syndrome and they found the property very much a home from home. Great to have a washing machine and an airer to keep uptogether with the laundry. We absolutely loved our stay and I will definitely recommend to family & friends.

Lovely quirky property over 3 floors.

Everything was very good quality and there was everything you’d need. The shower was roomy and powerful. The bed was super comfortable. It was very quiet considering it’s in the middle of other properties. Lovely walk along the river into the town centre. Had a lovely time catching up with old friends

An amazing stay in this beautiful property.

The quality touches here elevate it from great to exceptional. The location for walking into Shrewsbury is ideal, I'd recommend the Riverside walk on a nice day it is glorious. Parking is easy at the property too. I can't think of a better place to stay when visiting Shrewsbury.

We have stayed in many hundreds of self catering accommodation properties all over the UK; this ranks amongst the very best.

Superbly equipped with all modern equipment, nothing short of perfect. The place can accommodate 6 adults. However, with only the one allocated parking slot should a second car be needed, parking nearby can be troublesome at peak times.

A lovely house to stay in (plus a unique piece of history being a former engine shed) Cleverly laid out (absolutely loved the mezzanine kitchen) and very well furnished with everything you need in terms of kitchen equipment.

Very comfy bed and lovely towels. We really could not fault this place at all! I had to contact the owner (Katie) with a couple of queries and she was really prompt to answer, friendly, and helpful. There is parking for one car but if you have more than one car in your party the station car park is only a 5 minute walk away and £22 for the week). It is a ten minute walk into Shrewsbury which is a superb town full of stuff to do and plenty of places to eat and drink. The Market Hall is a must as is the Prison. So to summarise, we would not hesitate to recommend The Engine Shed as a comfy base to unpack all of the treasures that Shrewsbury and Shropshire has to offer. 10/10.

Lovely property, really well equipped.

Comfortable beds, plenty of seating. Great location. We had a great family break for my Dad’s 84th birthday. Thank you.

comfy, cosy, equipped with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay.

I even found plastic ducks and boats in the bathroom cupboard. it's within easy walking distance of the town and park. The property does have 3 floors so not suitable for all, but I would highly recommend it.

Stunning property in perfect location to explore Shrewsbury.

Lots of lovely attention to detail and the beds were the comfiest we have ever had in a holiday let. The welcome pack was fabulous too! Would highly recommend and hope to return.

This is an outstanding property!

The owner Katie has thought of everything. There are lots of wonderful little touches that make this place extra special; a lovely welcome pack, books, games, hairdryer, fans to name a few. The kitchen has everything you could ever need if you wanted to cook a 3 course gourmet dinner (we didn't). The decor is wonderful and very tasteful and stylish. The beds were extremely comfortable with luxurious bedding! I didn't want to leave. As well as the above, the Engine Shed is in a perfect location to explore Shrewsbury, being only a very short walk into town. We had a wonderful 5 days stay. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning!!!

Really wonderful property in a great location for a weekend in Shrewsbury.

Couldn't have been happier with it, plenty of space for 3 couples staying, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at the Engine Shed, superb accommodation spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need, Thank you for the little touches of milk, Orange juices etc, much appreciated.

We have stayed in many holiday cottages around the world and this is one of the best. Short walk into town with lots to do, excellent restaurants, boat trip very informative. Hope to come back.

Great Accomodation.

Comfortable and clean and tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac. Close to Town Centre, so easy to walk in to the local shops, restaurants and pubs. The main park in only a 10 min walk as well.

An excellent, well equipped and lovely central property with everything you could wish for and more.

One note is that we stayed in really hot weather and the towel rack in the main bathroom does not have an off switch that we could locate (and the ceiling fan didn’t work either) so it made the already hot upstairs bedrooms even hotter! The fans located in the bedrooms helped though.

Really enjoyable space, ideal for town Center and railway station for further a field day trips.

House was comfortable and very clean. Lovely basket of goodies on arrival.

We booked the Engine Room based on the two excellent reviews posted on the Sykes website.

However, after a long journey the first thing we had to do was clean the microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine as they were covered in food and were absolutely filthy (we have taken photographs). The welcome basket had a small marmalade jar in it which is clearly refilled and had covered the jar and everything in the basket with sticky marmalade. A small glass bottle of milk and orange was left in the fridge which, in the current circumstances of Covid is very unhygienic. The floor was also filthy, our socks were black and my daughter had a brown stain on her foot which wouldn’t come off even after scrubbing.

Well placed for the Town , well furnished , very clean .

***** without a doubt

It felt a privilege to stay in such a beautiful property.

It was very well equipped and immaculately clean. It’s easy walking distance to all that Shrewsbury has to offer.

Really beautiful & unusual accommodation.

Fabulous comfy beds & quality bedding (haven't slept so well for ages). Just a few minutes walk to town & railway station. Great & extremely helpful communication with host. Top quality furniture, fittings. Quiet area. Safe parking space. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need & more. Delightful welcome pack of milk, juice, biscuits, biscuits, sweets & preserve. (Quite a few stairs but I need the exercise

Fantastic property in great location!

Exceptionally clean, well presented and great attention to detail. We had a very comfortable stay with 2 kids (2 & 5yrs old), who both had a blast. We couldn’t have wanted for more.
