Chatford Roost

Chatford Roost was perfect for us, the location is far enough away from the road to get peace and quiet and yet close enough to be back in the busy world.

Hosts Jackie and James were lovely and made sure we were catered for. The Lemon Drizzle cake was fabulous. Thanks again and when we need to do some more family history we shall be back. Hope yours goes well!

Great location for visiting all the places we wanted to go.

The accommodation was lovely and comfortable, in a rural location.

Extremely rural cottage.

Mainly peaceful except for farm traffic. Welcomed with a Victoria sponge which was nice. The cottage felt homely but would benefit from a good dusting as lots of cobwebs and spiders. There were lots of activities to do in the area especially if you are a National Trust member. Our holiday was filled with lots to see and do.

The property is warm and cosy, just needs a coat of paint on the walls and doors up stairs to freshen it up.

Needs a bit of maintenance in the kitchen the top oven needs cleaning as it smokes when used, the frying pan needs replacing, the bulb in the cooker hood needs replacing. But overhaul we had a pleasant stay.

This property was fabulous.

I would like to have stayed there permanently, because it was so well thought out, so warm and cosy. The main living areas were very comfortable and well furnished, and the two bedrooms, both with en-suite, were also charming. There was good parking, and we were near to a retail park, as well as having good access to all the Shropshire hills.

Lovely weeks stay at Chatford Roost.

Beds and sofas very comfortable and decent quality bedding. On arrival we found a lovely lemon drizzle cake waiting for us. Would definitely go back *****

Nice place to stay.

Owners live next door so on-hand if there are any issues. Rural spot but easy to get to Shrewsbury and supermarkets etc. Would we stay there again.....yes.

It was our third stay at Chatford Roost.

Lovely location, very peaceful and close to family. Very comfortable sofas and the bed in the main bedroom is incredibly comfortable. We will definitely be booking again.

Lovely place, all you need.

Great places to visit around and nice walks. Fabulous part of the country. Thank you.

Lovely converted barn very clean and comfortable.

We appreciated the cakes on arrival. So nice to have ensuite bathrooms in both bedrooms and reclining sofas in the sitting room. Although the cottage is in the middle of the countryside it is only a few miles from Shrewsbury. There is a small patio with table and chairs where we enjoyed sitting in the warm evenings. The owners house is just across the yard if anything was needed and we looked forward to their two dogs heads appearing over the wall of their garden to welcome us back to the cottage at the end of each day. We hope to return again in the future.

My sister and I had a fabulous week at Chatford Roost with a warm welcome from a delicious lemon drizzle cake.

The cottage is very cosy, but spacious with all the amenities required. The beds were very comfy with quality bedlinen and great en-suite facilities to both bedrooms. We enjoyed the west facing patio seating for relaxing sunset evening drinks having spent the days visiting Berrington Hall, Croft Castle, Powis Castle, Attingham Park, Blist Hill Victorian Village, Iron bridge and Shrewsbury. The cottage is a fascinating mix of old and new, sympathy renovated, located in such a peaceful rural setting, yet just a short drive away from lots of interesting places to visit.

Perfect in every way.

Fantastic location, comfortable and lots to see and do.

This was our second stay at Chatford Roost as we had such a great time previously.

The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need. We also really enjoyed catching up with the owners who are super friendly and clearly take pride in their business. We would strongly recommend Chatford Roost to others.

A lovely, well maintained spacious property.

Chatford Roost is ideally situated to explore all the beautiful towns & countryside of this area of Shropshire.

Chatford Roost was a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Great hosts Jackie & James. Ample activities to do. Accommodation very nice

Many thanks Jackie and James for a lovely holiday in your cottage.

Quiet location but so near to a large shopping area, supermarket and park and ride into Shrewsbury. The cottage was very clean and well equipped, we were welcomed with a delicious Victoria sandwich cake on arrival. We would love to return and explore more of the fabulous area, but hopefully with a little more sun! Many thanks from Debbie, Russell and Heather North Yorkshire

Lovely characterful property in a quiet peaceful setting which acted as a great base-camp for exploring the surrounding attractions of the area.

Would happily come again and would happily recommend it as a pleasant holiday retreat.

The property is a converted Barn with adequate parking for 2 cars.

The beds and furnishings are very comfortable. We were welcomed by Jackie and 2 beautiful dogs, and a lovely homemade Victoria sandwich cake. The property is electronically heated and warms up very quickly. The surrounding area is full of interesting places to visit. All in all a great place to stay if a little bit off down a country lane.

Chatford roost is a very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Very peacefull location but still close enough to visit many attractions in the surrounding area. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage and would love to return in the future to enjoy more of this lovely County.

Delightful cottage on a farm.

Charming friendly and helpful hosts.(Very friendly two dogs as well!) Another great area of England to explore.

Thank you for the lovely cake on arrival.

Very friendly welcoming and look forward to visiting again.

This is the second time we have stayed here.

We came back because of how lovely the cottage is and how relaxing it is to be here. It is situated just outside of Shrewsbury and has great access to all the local sites to visit. it is is surrounded by beautiful countryside, great for walking and it is peaceful. The cottage is large and well laid out with a good kitchen including washer dryer and a dish washer. Comfortable lounge and two good bedrooms with en suite shower and bath. We will definitely be visiting again.

Chatford Roost was spotlessly clean comfortable and made our holiday all the more enjoyable.

Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly and went a long way to make our stay a pleasant one. Although only two of us the cottage is plenty big enough for four with two ensuite bathrooms. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. R and K from Hampshire.

Property was a good size but the key issue was cleanliness.

Washer and fridge had to be cleaned before use. Shower head and extractor dirty. Cushions were also dirty and stained. Multiple instances of dirt, cobwebs and dust around the property as well as slugs around the front door. There was also a large damp patch in the bathroom. In general it was unkempt. Supplied with a very worn washing up bowl and old sponge/ dish clothes. Lacked any wardrobe space at all which is disappointing for a longer stay.

The property was lovely as were out hosts,very approachable and friendly.

The lemon drizzle cake was delicious and enjoyed by all four of us

The cottage is very comfortable and clean.

With everything you could need. Thank you for the lovely welcome with homemade scones.Good location for access to local places of interest and across the border to Wales.

The property was very well presented, comfortable, spacious and well equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chalford Roost cottage and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

We had a lovely stay here.

Jackie and James were really welcoming. My parents loved the dogs and saying hello every day. Lovely comfortable beds and everything else you could need. We would visit again.

Beautifully restored building, created with huge care and attention to detail.

Extremely comfortable, cosy and peaceful in lovely countryside. Great base for exploring the local area. Friendly, welcoming owners. Really relaxing stay. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely place to stay

Beautiful and very comfortable cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

A very comfortable cottage in a peaceful, rural location.

The accommodation was perfect for walking in the local area and visiting Shrewsbury. The owners made us very welcome (with home-made scones) and attended to a minor issue very promptly. Thank you. The only minor negative point was that internet connectivity was sometimes poor.

A wonderful stay at this beautifully converted barn which has all the home comforts that you could wish for.

Lovely friendly owners. Close to so many wonderful Shropshire villages and towns and a stones throw from the Welsh Border too for those who want to explore Wales. Would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a delightful stay.

Lovely barn conversion, really well done.

Well equipped and furnished too. Properly rural location yet not far from Shrewsbury.

The cottage was perfect for our stay this October.

Excellent facilities provided (nice bedding and towels, lots of kitchen equipment etc). Beds were very comfortable, we all slept brilliantly with how dark the rooms were at night. I would perhaps not recommend for families with really young children with the sets of stairs up to each bedroom.

Beautiful BARN conversion at high standard.

Very comfortable and everything you need. Thank you for the lovely scones. Set in a lovely location in the country side.

It’s a lovely little gem of a place.

It’s so peaceful yet so close to everything you would need. One week wasn’t long enough as the peace and quiet made it so easy to unwind and relax. Close to places to visit, lots to see and do in and around Shrewsbury.

I was very pleased booking Chatford Roost.

It was a lovely comfy cottage. With everything we needed over our holiday. James and Jackie friendly and helpful hosts. Ideal for my sister and I. We each had double bedrooms with bathrooms. Central to all the places we wanted to visit on our holiday.

Comfortable beds, and relaxing chairs.

Very well equipped and our favourite cake waiting for us on arrival. Thank you for everything

Lovely comfy cottage for 3 or 4.

All the facilities you need. Cooked a full roast dinner for Easter Sunday with no problems. Cosy lounge. Outside sunny garden spot. Quiet and relaxing - lovely hosts. Thank you for the cake!

An excellent property, finished to a high standard.

We loved the wood burner - contributed to a relaxing stay. We received a warm welcome from Jackie & James. We would highly recommend this property.

ideal setting, quiet but not far from attractions in area

Another excellent holiday with the cottage matching the high standard I have come to expect.

The owners are friendly and the welcome carrot cake was splendid! This cottage is well placed for exploring the area. Don’t think about it, book it.

Charged Roost is a perfect cottage to holiday in.

It has everything you'd expect and more, even a Lemon Drizzle Cake on arrival. Its in z quiet hamlet in the heart of Shropshire with easy access to many attractions and the scenery in the area is magnificent. We had a lovely stay and want to return. Many thanks.

The cottage was absolutely perfect!

Every possible item we could ask for, a real home from home! Friendly owners who owned two delightful dogs! When entering the cottage on arrival we were delighted to find that Janet had left beautiful fruit scones and jam, so welcome after a very long journey. Overall a very pleasant, positive experience- thank you!

All really good, except for the bizarre water taps in kitchen and utility which operate in the opposite way to most taps including those in the upstairs bathrooms.

Combined with the pressurised water system, I think that all of our party got a soaking at some point by inadvertantly turning a tap full-on. Oh, and the squeaky door hinges that most holiday cottages seem to have.

Chatford Roost is a beautiful barn conversion, great location - peaceful but actually near to shops and plenty to do and see without having to travel too far.

The property is well presented and equipped, it really is a home from home. The beds were super comfy as were the reclining sofa/chairs! Jackie and James were great hosts, friendly and helpful and have 2 lovely dogs who were always there to greet us when we returned each day along with an amusing 'gang' of chickens! There is so much to do in the area, we managed to keep our 19 and 18 year olds amused for a week!

This is a very well equipped and comfortable cottage.

Be aware that because of the shape of the bedrooms, which I have to say are both beautiful with high ceilings and beams on show, there aren't any wardrobes. There is a hanging area which is fine for a weeks holiday and heaps of drawer space, so for us this wasn't a problem. Maybe take a few hangers of your own. The surrounding area is a delight and Shrewsbury was a really pleasant surprise with lot's and lovely places to eat and things to do. The park and ride is excellent and something you should consider.

The cottage was very well-appointed and comfortable.

Excellent location. In the countryside but not far from Shrewsbury and other locations for walking and sightseeing!. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. It was so relaxing. Great holiday!

This is our second stay at Chatford Roost.

The accommodation is very comfortable and well equipped and the owners very welcoming. We love the area for walking and exploring interesting towns and villages. I am sure we will return for a third visit before too long.

Beautiful cottage, well equipped.

Very comfortable beds, and beautiful quiet surroundings. We were lucky with the weather. If you have to stay home, then there are games, DVD's, books,and of course, TV.

A fantastic property.

Great cottage - close to Shrewsbury but out in the countryside.

Very clean and comfortable with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Owners - and dogs - very welcoming. Would really recommend Chatford Roost!

The cottage was even better than we hoped.

Peaceful surroundings and welcoming, friendly hosts....especially the dogs! We slept better than we have for ages and had wonderful weather. We managed a lot of sight seeing, covid permitting. We would definitely recommend a stay at Chatford Roost.

Beautiful barn conversion.

Beds and lounge furniture where very comfortable. Very cosy with the log burner, which was so warm we didn’t need the heating on upstairs. Lovely location and very close to family and we will book again next year. Everything you need for a relaxing stay and plenty of places to visit and loads of lovely walks.

We had a super weekend at Chatford Roost.

The barn conversion is beautiful and the property itself is probably the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. You really can walk right from the front doorstep, if that's your thing. For a local walk try Lyth Hill, for lovely views across the valley, but walk from Church Stretton for the most stunning scenery from the Long Mynd and Carding Mill Valley. A lovely place for a few days away from it all.

lovely comfortable and well equipped property ideally located for exploring Shropshire.

Really high quality build barn conversion.

Easy to access Shrewsbury and surrounding areas. Jackie was a wonderful host!

A beautifully renovated barn in a lovely, tranquil setting.

Very well equipped. Comfortable seating in lounge (big leather recliners) and very comfortable beds. Just off the A49, so easy to explore this beautiful part of the world. Jackie, James and lovely dogs, Pippa and Summer, made us very welcome.

We had a wonderful time.

The cottage was very comfortable and homely. The owners, James and Jackie were very welcoming and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return.

Absolutely fantastic holiday cottage.

The hosts were extremely thoughtful, arrived to a plate of homemade mince pies, Christmas decorations and fresh milk in the fridge. This was the most equipped holiday home we have stayed at, everything had been thought of and was very much appreciated. The conversion is high end as were the furnishings. Spotlessly clean, warm and very welcoming. We would certainly recommend a stay here.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at Chatford Roost and have certainly highlighted it as a cottage we would like to stay in again when we next plan a holiday in Shropshire.

Everything was comfortable, clean and very well presented. and we were quite sorry to leave at the end of the week. We have already recommended it to another member of our family and will probably recommend it to a few friends too. James and Jackie were very friendly and helpful, which added to our enjoyment of the holiday.

Cottage was very comfortable, in a very quiet location.

Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful part of the UK to be in, lots to see and do. Thanks for a lovely week.

The cottage is located in a lovely environment with swallows flying overhead and chickens by your feet.

A lovely rural idyll but not far from a main road taking you to lots of great locations

Chatford Roost is a delightful and spacious holiday home.

The layout is excellent. Perfect for two couples with two ensuite bedrooms at either end of the cottage. Good for families as well. A beautiful rural location, with the main A149 only a minute down the lane. It is well placed for all of Shropshire's attractions, with Carding MIll Valley only 10 miles down the A149. Our hosts James and Jackie were very friendly and helpful.

We had a great week at Chatford Roost.

The cottage was lovely and Jackie was really friendly and helpful. Lots to do in the area too. Will definitely be back!

Was surprised that the owners did not come and see us sooner, as they lived next door.

Not many glasses, 6 large tumblers and 6 wine glasses. No small tumblers or glasses. We went out and brought 4 small sherry glasses. Which we left behind. We had 1 light missing in our bathroom. In the dinning area 1 set of lights (4) were not working. No instructions as to where the ash from the log burner should go.

Really well equipped accommodation in a quiet spot but quite close (4 miles) to a trading estate with supermarkets etc.

Nearest pubs are a drive away. There are great places to visit within 30 minutes drive. Shrewsbury has great architecture and lots of independent shops, as does Ludlow. A visit to Ironbridge is also worth the effort although the bridge is undergoing renovations at the moment and is surrounded by scaffold and tarpaulin. If I was to nit pick, this is a farm and the flies are plentiful but there were lots of cobwebs to catch them!

Lovely barn conversion very central for places of interest in Shropshire and into Wales.

Had a very good week, even the weather was warm and sunny.The owners are very friendly and helpful and it is a cottage that we would return to if up in the area again.

I booked this last minute with my friends on the day!

Jackie, the owner was great to turn this around so fast for us. The barn was clean, and relaxing, so much room as well, with both bedrooms with ensuites too. It’s not far from Shrewsbury town centre which we visited in the day for food and drinks, we also had a Chinese one night that delivered too! So it was a great location for all our needs, and Jackie was on hand when we needed her, ( I ran out of dishwasher tablets, and she popped some over!) I would highly recommend this barn conversion to stay for a break away, it had everything we needed and will definitely look to book for our girly break next year.

We found the sloping roof in both bedrooms and bathrooms challenging to say the least.

However the location is very convenient in the area.

Great base for exploring the Shropshire Hills.

Very friendly owners with warm welcome. Very comfortable barn conversion with every amenity - lovely.

Great property and well located.

Catalyst for a lovely time in Shropshire and Wales and nice local walks. Go there.

An excellent base for accessing Shropshire and all its heritage and highlights.

Wonderful accommodation, perfect location and everything was just great.

Some lovely touches in the cottage and a lot of thought has gone into the high spec. finishes. We are planning to re-book for next year and thanks again Jackie for helping to make it a perfect holiday for us.

Facilities excellent.

More than met our expectations. A Well furnished cottage that offered a comfortable relaxing break. Easy access to many interesting places.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped, the location was very quiet and peaceful, just the place for a chill out type break.

The cottage was beautifully equipped, and we would happily go back again.

We were really lucky with the weather which made the holiday even better.

Lovely building in a pleasant area.

Exactly what we wanted.

Peaceful and beautiful setting amongst glorious countryside.

Hosts were very welcoming. Great place to explore Shropshire from. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
