Wayside House

We have had a fabulous Christmas at Wayside.

The house was prefect for our party size and is in a beautiful location. It has a lovely family homely feel and was perfect for us. The hot-tub is an added bonus and we all enjoyed it , in the cold day and evenings it was lovely, with a gorgeous view of the Shropshire countryside. The weather was on our side so we made use of it.

We had so many issues with the house.

1. Open fires, with listing saying that all fuel is provided, but only a few logs and small amount of kindling was supplied. Logs from the owner are £3 more expensive than local supplier. There isn't even a supply of old newspapers. 2. The lock on shared upstairs bathroom was broken. 3. House is for 8 guests but only 7 breakfast bowls 4. The house was for large number but cooking pans are average to small size. And largest pan doesn't work on the induction hob. 5. Heating is set too low, especially for elderly guests. 6. There was an empty washing up liquid bottle. 7. Two bunk beds didn't have towels 8. No spare blankets for any of the beds. 9. Duvets are of such poor quality everyone struggled to keep warm in bed. 10. The blind in bunk bedroom was broken.

We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful area.

Wayside house was comfortable and well appointed. The hot tub was lovely. We would have appreciated a little more generosity with logs , loo rolls and washing up liquid.

Thank you for a lovely stay.

We found the cottage, facilities, location etc to be generally fantastic. A couple of points to feedback are: the supplied amounts of loo roll, bin bags, dishwasher tabs and salt were not quite enough. The amount of chlorine in the hot tub did detract from the experience - it caused skin issues for a number of our group, and swimming costumes were bleached and have been thrown away. The lack of access to the key lock box was an issue - generally it is useful to have this as it means if the group goes out separately they can get back in without issues whichever arrives back first. Overall great stay though, thank you.

This is a beautiful house, very comfortable and spotlessly clean.

The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. The site is amazing, their hard work certainly shows and they are very willing to assist with anything or local information needed. Definitely recommend for a chilled relaxing break, would revisit, miss it already.. The scenery is beautiful though due to location (which is not a negative) a car is needed to get about, if that's what you want. There are no footpaths on roads so too dangerous to walk. If I had 1 negative it would be check-in and check-out times, 4pm check-in is half the day gone (the nearest pub, the Kangeroo Inn stopped serving food at 2pm and unless booked a table couldn't guarantee we could have what we wanted off menu so it was a drive to the next pub whilst we waited to check-in). Maybe 2pm and 11am would be ideal check-in/out times. Other than that we cannot fault our stay, there were 9 of us and it was perfect. Thank you.

It was a really well stocked cottage.

We were really happy with our holiday. We stayed for 7 nights and all had a lovely holiday. would recommend.

We loved our stay at Wayside house, the beds were super comfy and the hot tub was fantastic.

Just a couple of pointers that would make the next person's stay even better. A hanging space in the downstairs bedroom would be handy, also a stool/seat in the wet room. The drive was also a bit tricky and our car wheels got stuck a couple of times in the gravel.

Lovely old house, carefully updated, great for multi age group… as a previous reviewer said, the pictures and descriptions don’t do it justice.

The adjoining campsite and facilities were a boon, not a downside at all.. our children enjoyed feeding the chickens too.

Due to the amazing establishment I cannot possibly put anything but the highest rating, however the Accuracy of the Listing was NOT good, this property is far superior to how it is listed and is probably missing a number of bookings as it’s not listed to the high standard that is provided.

Great property with plenty of space and a great layout for 10 of us.

The property looks nicer than the pictures let on. We had a great time and the owners were about if we needed them. Would definitely recommend.

We all had a fabulous stay at Wayside House.

It was beautiful, very clean and the kitchen was fabulous and very well equipped. Would highly recommend for a large group friends or family, just perfect!
