“This is the second time that myself and my extended family have met up for Christmas at the cottage and its great, very homely, beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook a Christmas dinner for 12.”

We had a lovely time and its great not having to worry that there won't be something there that you need - because they have everything there! The location is great and the fact that you can see sheep from the windows and take a nice country walk in pretty much any direction you want it great for the kids.

“A great holiday in a lovely house.”

..got a bit lost getting there..beware of going up park lane to get there on (sat nav).. this road is more of a farm track than a good road..make sure you use the proper route b4367 to get there and you'll be o.k I caught my front bumper on a large "stone" in someone's driveway don't you do the same...

“Mrs Prince is a very welcoming host,and presented Rowton manor cottage with pride.”

All our needs were met, and we enjoyed our stay in the peaceful cottage and its surroundings. would certainly go there again. K Giles

“Different outside areas we could sit in the lovely sunshine.”

Good location for going off on walks. All good.
Mrs Airnes August 2019

“We had a lovely time at Rowton Manor Cottage.”

There was six adults, 2 children 2 and 8years and twin babies 11months and there was plenty of room for us. Mrs Prince had left us a very nice fruit cake and bottle of wine as a welcome. Everywhere was very clean and comfortable with all the appliances we needed including lots of toys and baby walkers for the children . We particularly enjoyed the large enclosed garden where the children had lots of room to play. The cottage is in a good area with lots of places to visit nearby. Acton Scot, a historical working farm was well worth a visit as is the Ludlow brewery.
Mrs Shiret April 2019

“The cottage far exceeded our expectations.”

From the yummy welcome cake, to the Easter decorations/fresh flowers all made the stay feel extra special. Would highly recommend.
Mr Smith February 2019

“We received a very warm welcome from the owner.”

The cottage was in lovely suttoundings in the countryside - quiet yet only a short drive from the nearest town. A very pleasant place to stay.
Mrs Sollom December 2018

“We had a wonderful stay for Christmas at Rowton Manor Cottage.”

On arrival we were met by our lovely host Linda who had decorated the house beautifully, lit the fire and provided mince pies, cake, Prosecco and mulled wine. The house was perfect to celebrate a wonderful family Christmas and even though the weather was a bit damp we enjoyed a couple of walks in the beautiful countryside, will definitely return
Mr Evans December 2018

“We had a lovely stay over New Year.”

The cottage was very comfortable with a beautiful rural setting, and the owner was very helpful too. I would definitely recommend.
Mrs Doore October 2018

“Yes, the scant directions to the cottage from Craven Arms were insufficient - we got lost.”

If you had put more detailed directions we would probably not have had the stress at the end of a long journey. The owner, Linda had to come and find us and lead us to the cottage. Embarrassing! We loved the cottage it was very inviting, warm and comfortable, and the view from it was stunning. Linda was an excellent hostess.

“Great location in a quiet but scenic location.”

Linda is lovely host - a friendly welcome and a couple of minor issues were attended to straight away.

“Fabulous location, lovely property, great owner”

“Wonderful family holiday”

Superb location, quiet, beautiful countryside and the owner is fantastic. Plenty of space for grandparents in the annex at the top, three children under five and adults, and the dog! Fab spacious kitchen and huge fridge with smaller fridge and freezer as well. Lots of toys and games to find in all the storage. Enclosed bit of back patio but use of lawned area and additional seating area for the kids to play. Fab discovery centre five mins away in Craven Arms with great walks and play park as well as the mammoth! If a wet day Mickeys Millers playbarn also five mins away in Craven Arms, awesome place. The bottle of rosé and huge homemade sponge cake from the owner on arrival took the edge off our long journey. All in all great family holiday for my mums 70th birthday. Ps book a Tesco delivery to the cottage after you arrive so you don't have to worry about food (or alcohol )

“Perfect family holiday”

This house is the perfect base for a family holiday in Shropshire. We were a party of six adults and a five-year-old. We received a friendly welcome from the owner, who had also left a lovely sponge cake, eggs and a bottle of wine for us in the kitchen. The house is very well equipped and there was plenty of room for all of us with ample seating both inside and in the garden. The house is easy to reach - but make sure you follow the owner's instructions and not your Sat-Nav! There is plenty of room for parking (we had three cars). We made good use of the barbecue as we were lucky with the weather. Craven Arms is a short drive away and has a good supermarket.

“Lovely spacious cottage”

We have just returned after 6 nights at this cottage. It is in a very rural and peaceful location, up a single track road close to Broome and Aston on Clun. On arrival we found the owner had left us a bottle of wine, vase of flowers, freshly laid eggs and a huge Victoria Sponge on the kitchen table - all lovely, thank you. There were 7 of us (all adults) and there was plenty of room. The kitchen has an Aga, which keeps the room lovely and cosy. (There is also a traditional hob & oven should you not wish to cook on the Aga.) The top floor could be considered self-contained with an en-suite bedroom (super king bed which can be separated to become two single beds), and lounge/kitchen/diner. This is handy if there are different generations who want to watch different things on the TV or play games whilst adults are using the loung downstairs! The only downsides are that the en-suite in the top floor does not have a shower, only a shower attachment; there seemed to be a blockage in the drainage of the handbasin in the Family Bathroom (water took ages to go down the plughole); and a lot of the crockery is chipped. That said, we had a great time there as the property has all that you could wish for in a holiday cottage.

“Warm & Friendly”

We had a very happy family break in the middle of February. From the moment of our arrival, the owners could not have been more helpful(we had Tesco delivery problems and no mobile phone signal !) Our party comprised several adults & 3 grandchildren and the house easily accommodated everyone - we used the top floor lounge as a "play/crafts room". The kitchen was also a warm and practical room with 2 fridges and 2 cookers !

“New Year Break”

The house was lovely, we were a party of 6 adults and 4 children aged from 5yrs to 6 months. The cottage had everything we needed and was in a lovely location. We were left a welcoming pack which was a lovely surprise and would certainly return there.

“Picturesque Country Cottage in Tranquil Surroundings”

A spectacular Grade II listed large country cottage only a short distance from Craven Arms, Shropshire. The Cottage is spacious, very clean, comfortable and always felt extremely homely during our thoroughly enjoyable stay. We booked Rowton Manor Cottage to celebrate a 30th Birthday with family (7 guests) and we were overwhelmed with the property and location itself but also by the kindness and generosity of the owners. On arrival we were greeted with a homemade sponge cake, bottle of wine and box of chocolates. The owners, who live in the property next door, were extremely friendly and helpful at all time and we enjoyed an evening drink with them to which they were really great company. Whilst staying at the Cottage we travelled to nearby attractions in Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Powis Castle in Wales and most enjoyable of all Acton Scott Historic Working Farm and Stokesay Castle! We had a absolutely fantastic family holiday at Rowton Manor Cottage and would certainly highly recommend and visit again!

“An excellent base for a walking holiday”

A large property in a rural location a short distance from Craven arms. Aga in the kitchen and wood burner in the downstairs lounge very good for drying wet clothes!Well supplied with all amenities, spacious, a second upstairs lounge a plus. Owners very helpful and friendly, living next door. Clean on arrival, but previous tenants had not properly washed crockery and cutlery: we had to re-do them all.

“Relaxing and very lovely”

Had a wonderful week. The setting and the house itself are excellent - very quiet country retreat with every comfort you could wish for.
