The Old Workshop

The Old Workshop is a real gem.

It is beautiful place built to a very high standard. Nicky was great with her communication before we arrived, and popped round to see us whilst we were there. Highly recommended, we will be back.

Wonderful compact cottage in a beautiful location - everything you need.

We will be back 10/10

We had a lovely relaxing stay at The Old Workshop.

The cottage has everything you need and is set in a glorious peaceful location. Nicky the owner is on hand if needed but we had no reason to contact her as everything was fine. We were blessed with with great weather which only served to make our stay even more enjoyable.

We had a lovely few days at the Old Workshop.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was compact but well equipt with ample space to cook for 2 people. The bed was very comfortable and the large bedroom had lots space for our travel cot. There is a lovely garden area with seating on the patio that is a real sun trap and a large lawn area that is shared however we didn't see anyone else the whole stay. It was a lovely touch to have fresh eggs from the owners chickens on arrival and what a treat to see them come over to great you in their run next to the cottage. The owner communicated with us before arrival which was nice. You wouldn't know they live next door. I would 100%recomend this cottage to anyone wanting to visit the area is was a perfect base to visit Shrewsbury, Ludlow and would recomend Church Stretton. There are lovely farm shops with local produce everywhere and nice pubs and cafes. Ludlow castle, Shrewsbury Abbey and Stokesay Castle are worth a vist if you like history. The only problem we had was there is so much to see and do we wish we had booked a longer stay.

Everything absolutely fine!

Stayed for entire duration of June heatwave-stone built cottage stayed cool as possible in extreme conditions with careful management of blinds and curtains. Owners Nicki & David couldn’t have been more helpful. Accomodation is adjacent to owners farmhouse but entirely private. Due to the extreme heat I spent a lot of time at the cottage and was never bored.

The old workshop is a lovely little cottage, it is small but it has everything you need,the owner left eggs from her chickens and there were fresh flowers on the window sill.

The bathroom is on the ground floor so no toilet up in the bedroom which is large, the bed is a king size bed but the mattress is on the firm side with no give, we found it too hard for our joints. There is some walks about but you have to walk on the road for some of them, Church Stretton is about a 15 minute drive if you need shopping and is a nice village, we really liked it. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing, we would recommend for a couple of days, we would of liked to of sat out on the table and chairs in the courtyard area but unfortunately there is no gate through to the owners garden so you have to keep your dog on a lead, it could be made into a little area so you can have your dog outside with you and not put them on a lead especially as the weather was really warm. The bathroom is small and difficult to dry yourself after a shower but it was ok for us, wifi wasn't great but if you don't care about being on your phone you won't mind. This cottage is attached to owners property and it's linked with a door which is kept locked, i wasn't sure if it was on the details or not.

Can't fault in anyway how clean cottage was All things supplied by owners good quality Bed was a great size and so comfortable Bedding great quality the only minor fault was getting tv to work but after quick text the owner give us some info and we got it on but owner turned shortly afterwards to make sure tv was on its hard to find a fault except the weather let us down lol but even here the nice easy to run log burner kept cottage nice and warm and it was made up for us on arrival Nice gesture plus plenty logs and sticks to use when needed plenty wild life around cottage pheasants squirrels bird life nice seeing so many partridge around pus owners chickens were nice would have been more than happy for them all running around the cottage more so as its the countryside and all these sounds go hand in hand place was a pleasure in everyday David and elaine

Really lovely, comfortable cottage with everything we needed for our stay - lovely shower and comfortable bed.

Set in a peaceful location with lots of wonderful walks in the Shropshire hills only a short drive away. Nicky was helpful and there if we needed her - the cottage felt private despite being attached to their house. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful cottage in a lovely location.

Nicky was very pleasant and very helpful. Lovely touch on arrival with fresh eggs, biscuits and milk.

A very comfortable cottage with a lovely view over the countryside.

A great deal of thought given by the owners Nicky and David. Lots of walks nearby. Great for seeing wildlife including Fallow Deer. The eggs from the owners chickens were delicious.

Just the loveliest little cottage.

Spotlessly clean, and we immediately loved the layout, the gorgeous oak joinery, and the general feel of the place. Fixtures and fittings are all high quality; the bathroom is lovely with a superb shower. The bed and pillows are just so comfy, and we loved watching the early morning light as it gradually lit the oak tree outside. The kitchen area has everything you could possibly need; nice pans and crockery, and how lovely to find a steel in the bottom drawer to sharpen the knives

Beautiful little property.

Really well equipped in lovely surroundings. Highly recommend for a relaxing break.

The cottage is lovely and well equipped with everything you need, it's in the most beautiful location with lots of wildlife to see, if you want a peaceful relaxing break I would definitely recommend a visit.

Also there's lots of places of interest to visit a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed our short break and would love to return at some point. Thank you Nicky and David for the welcome pack of egg's milk and biscuits. Glynis

A beautiful house in a beautiful location, hosts are great and leave you to it unless you need anything then they are straight there to help, I spent 5nts there, just me and my dog and I didn’t want to leave.

Perfect cosy retreat, we really enjoyed our stay.

The small but perfectly formed Old Workshop was very clean , comfortable and well equipped. The wood burning stove was a delight in the cool evenings and warmed the room very quickly. We received a warm welcome from Nicky and David. Thoroughly recommend this beautiful Shropshire hideaway , perfect base to explore this stunning area Ruth and Andy

Lovely cottage, beautiful countryside, very central for hill walking, great hosts.

The old workshop is in a beautiful , very peaceful and tranquil location, making it the perfect place to unwind and get away from the noise, hustle and bustle, and rigors of everyday life.

There is everything you need in the cottage, and i mean everything ! it is very clean, tastefully decorated, with a lovely garden. On arrival, we were welcomed by the delightful Nicky, who provided us with fresh eggs, plenty of logs for the log burner, and a big smile. This was our second stay at the Old Workshop, and we will definitely be staying there again, hopefully before too long.

Beautiful little cottage & friendly hosts.

Log burner was a god send - we arrived and stayed during storm Bert so not ideal! I think it would be a lovely place to stay in the summer. I'd read about the lanes leading to the cottage being difficult and they certainly were - narrow, windy, bumpy and in parts flooded. If you have a 4x4 you'll be ok. That's the only negative really.

Lovely cottage which was warm, clean, fresh and well equipped.

Although there are a few miles of single tract road on the approach, we didn’t have much trouble. Well placed for lots of nice walks and midway between Shrewsbury and Ludlow. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Great little cottage, loved the whole feel of the place.

Ready supply of logs and kindling which was really appreciated. Eggs and biscuits found in the kitchen on our arrival were a nice touch. Overall a great stay, would definitely come again.

We had a lovely stay at The Old Workshop.

It is a beautiful cottage in a peaceful and tranquil location, close to some wonderful walks. We enjoyed seeing the wildlife in the garden! The Old Workshop is very well equipped with everything we needed. The furniture was comfortable - especially the bed!

Very clean and comfortable cottage in a stunning tranquil location.

The log burner was a lovely addition and kept us warm and comfy in the evenings. The bed was comfortable and the layout of the cottage was good.We had a very enjoyable week.

The cottage itself was all as described.

Those relying on strong internet connection should be aware that due to the remoteness of the the property ,internet is variable. A nearby pub "The Bottle and glass", while dog friendly will not accept dogs in the restaurant , but you are welcome to eat in the bar area, we say that to avoid confusion when reserving a table ..

Comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting, all the home comforts you need for a pleasant stay.

Nicky was very accommodating.

Would highly recommend this place

We had a lovely short break at The Old Workshop.

A superb quiet location for walking and discovering the beautiful Shropshire Hills. We were 2 and a well behaved small dog. The cottage is compact, bright and cheery and has everything you need and would be really lovely in summer with the outdoor table and chairs. Despite being next to the owner Nicky’s property it manages to feel private. Nicky was very helpful throughout and the property has useful info for the surrounding area - walks and places to visit. We hope definitely to return.

We had a lovely time and the cottage was great.

The only thing I would suggest is putting in a full length stand alone mirror in the bedroom.

Fantastic location for the the peace and quiet.

The cottage was fantastic, great for two people + dog, comfortable, clean and well maintained.

Just to say a massive Thank You.

Your cottage is so lovely and all the goodies we received when we arrived. Marina, Mick and Moose dog. Xx

Very well equipped and clean.

Renovations made to a very high standard. We did miss a dish washer! And space to prepare food. Local roads take some getting used too very narrow but well maintained. Garden not secure for an inquisitive dog but we were advised by the owner in advance.

Couldn't fault anything absolutely perfect

The property is charming, very comfortable and well equipped.

Nicola the host was welcoming and helpful with information and advice. The property is fairly isolated and very peaceful and accessed by a very winding single track road. During my stay we had lots of rain and the road was extremely muddy but this is rural Shropshire and should be expected

This property is so cosy and snug!

Will hopefully be going back!! Loved it. Thank you

We had a great week the end of September.

Cottage was spotless and had everything you needed. All appliances and equipment were of a high quality. Biscuits, tea, milk and eggs were a nice gesture. The walks right from your doorstep were great if you didn't want to go by car. Coming home to a lovely log fire was wonderful. Countryside is amazing. We hardly saw any cars all week. Will definitely be back. Gear hosts.

A lovely, well presented cottage, very comfortable in a very quiet, peaceful location.

The Old Workshop is a lovely little cottage, finished and furnished to a very high standard with everthing provided to make your stay comfortable.

Adjoining the owners home, it has its own private entrance and secluded patio area overlooking a lovely garden with views of the fields and hills beyond. It is so peaceful and we heard probably no more than half a dozen cars passing over the first couple of days we were there. We spent most of those first few days just sitting in the garden or walking locally and enjoying the beautiful weather. The owners were away, but kept in touch with us to make sure everything was as it should be and left a welcome gift of biscuits and fresh eggs from their hens (as we returned the key at the end of our stay we were amused to see a hen sitting on its eggs in a basket by the front door). Tea, coffee and milk were also provided which is always really appreciated after a journey. The Workshop is a few miles from the main road and accessed by narrow country lanes - we really felt we had 'got away' from it all. There is lots to do in the area, from hill walking to visiting local towns and villages. Some great pub lunches and cream teas available! We had a great week away would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage in lovely settings and surroundings, roads very narrow, and only enough room for one car to pass, no good for nervous drivers!

Beautiful surroundings but quite remote, 2 local pubs within 30/40 minutes walking distance, lots of scenic places to visit and nice country walks.

Definitely the best cottage we have stayed in over the lazt few years.

However, my wife and I are getting on in years. Please consider installing a hand-rail around the staircase.

This is a delightful and well-appointed cottage with all the necessary amenities in a beautiful rural setting.

Lots of local walks on the doorstop and places like the Stiperstones or Cardingmill Valley a short drive away. The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming and very accommodating. We were left to wander around the garden or nearby fields at will. All in all, a lovely break and one we’re looking forward to repeating before too long.

We really enjoyed our week at The Old Workshop.

The cottage had everything we needed, it was very clean and cosy and the bed was very comfortable. The owners had thought of everything and were very helpful with ideas for local walks. There were lots of maps and leaflets on the area in the cottage. The fresh eggs were a nice bonus. One of the best small cottages we've every stayed in.

The Old Workshop is really beautiful in a wonderful garden (shared with the owner but that’s no problem at all).

The cottage is even better than we expected and very well appointed and equipped. It was lovely seeing the resident ponies, sheep, ducks and hens, they fascinated our little dog. We’ve already decided to return!

Enjoyed a lovely, peaceful weekend away from the rat race.

Cottage was perfect for the two of us. All the amenities you could need, clean and cosy especially while we hid away from storm Eunice! Perfect hosts, very helpful and considerate. Thank you so much!

The old workshop is a place where you can totally switch off from the world.

Just so quiet and peaceful, due to its remoatnes. Would recommend to anybody who needs to click off.

The cottage is charming and Nicky, the host is lovely.

She was extremely accommodating in ensuring I had everything I needed. Really comfy bed. Surrounding countryside is extremely beautiful and lovely walks on the doorstep.

A lovely well thought out property.

Had everything we needed and lots of extras that just made it work really well.

What a fabulous little conversion set amidst the rolling hills of Shropshire.

Very cosy with the log fire and gorgeous view from the comfort of the sofa - including woodpeckers feeding mere yards away. Very well equipped, dreamily comfortable bed, great location and beautifully renovated and decorated. Will be back for sure

Very accurate depiction of the cottage and lived up to and exceeded expectations.

Beautifully presented and nice welcoming touches provided by our lovely hosts. Very peaceful and we did not feel in the way of the family next door but nice to have them nearby. Fantastic area to explore Shrewsbury, National Trust properties, quaint towns such as Church Stretton and we loved Ludlow. Plenty of great walks nearby and the countryside is so unspoilt. We would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had an amazing time at the Old Workshop, it is in a lovely country setting, with everything in the cottage which we needed.

The biscuits and freshly laid eggs was a lovely touch. Please be aware that you do have to drive down single lane roads to get there so it is quite an experience if you are not used to it. It is the first time we had visited Shropshire and the Old Workshop is a ideal location to explore Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Church Stretton, with the National Parks virtually on the doorstep. We loved our staycation and would hope to return in the future.

Beautiful cottage.

Immaculately clean and well equipped. Superb position for a chilled holiday - absolute quiet .... apart from birds and sheep!

The Old Workshop was exactly what I was expecting from the excellent photos I had seen on the website.

The place was perfect for a much needed break. We took our dog Teddy with us and I walked him on the wooded bridleway, which was just up the lane, every morning, while my husband stayed in bed.The four day stay was for him to chill out and destress after working incredibly hard recently and for me to do some walking. After breakfast we went sightseeing, there are so many places to visit in this area, we loved Ludlow and Shrewsbury we visited Ironbridge too. The countryside was gorgeous especially in the autumn colours. The cottage is beautifully decorated and so lovely to stay in. I loved the colour scheme throughout and all the lovely little touches. You have everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. We loved the log burner in the evening and just chilled out with a glass of wine and watched movies. So relaxing after a day sightseeing. We would definitely recommend The Old Workshop we loved our stay in it and the beautiful location. Very peaceful and quiet

The cottage was beautiful and had everything you needed and the owners Nicky and David were extremely helpful and if there was anything you needed you just had to ask.

Even though there is not an enclosed area for the dog 100 yards up the lane is a bridle path through a wood which is ideal for exercising your furry friend. The location was stunning in the Shropshire Hills perfect fir getting away in these strange times .A beautiful part of Britain will certainly be going back

Beautifully converted cottage well equipped and clean.

A warm and friendly welcome when we arrived. Lots of little extras like milk in the fridge, coffee, fresh eggs and a packet of high quality chocolate biscuits. Lots to see within easy driving distance and beautiful scenery. Definitely recommend a trip to Long Mynd. All together a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing week with some excellent pubs nearby. A big thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely property with us and also makes my our dog so welcome. 100% recommend The Old Workshop. Excellent

Cosy little cottage with a great log fire.

Hosts were accommodating and even provided fresh eggs and milk, would recommend to anyone looking for a homely get away in the country. Our dog loved it and rated it 4/5 woofs.

This property has been renovated to a very high standard, the log burner makes it very cosy for a winter break.

It is well equipped, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The location is quite remote with lovely views but be prepared for long, winding, single pass lanes to get to it. The pub in the village, the Bottle and Glass is very welcoming and does great food. I would very much recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a Shropshire break.

The cottage was excellent and very well furnished.

Very clean. Owners left welcome pack of freshly laid eggs, fudge and milk. Completely hassle free entry and exit. Exactly as described and photographed. Plenty of local information including OS maps were provided in the cottage. One minor irritant was that the TV set was very small and difficult for old eyes. A larger set is the only improvement we would want to see.

The cottage was warm and cosy.

Very well equipped kitchen and cosy wood burner with inclusive logs supplied. Car parking easy with plenty of room for a larger car. The hospitality of Nicola and David was excellent. The welcome pack was there when we arrived; milk, and eggs from their chickens. Storage in bedroom was very good, with plenty of drawers, hanging and shelves. Although isolated the narrow roads into Church Stretton / Shrewsbury were well signposted and quiet; other road users were courteous. However be aware that the majority of the roads around are single track with infrequent passing places and can be muddy. Its best to rely on a map rather than a Sat Nav. Church Stretton offered a range of independent shops and plenty of walks. Transport services were well catered for with frequent buses and trains. Overall a very enjoyable week.

The old workshop was a perfect get a way, very relaxing and we had everything we needed.

Nicky and David were perfect hosts, the eggs, milk and fudge in arrival were a nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept very well. Highly recommended for a relaxing break, the single track lanes to the cottage are a little overwhelming at first but were not a problem. The glass and bottle is a lovely local with a fabulous steak night on a Wednesday.

Very nice little cottage just right for a short break for 2.

We really enjoyed exploring the Shropshire countryside for the first time from our accommodation The Old Workshop.

Very helpful owners.

Even though the property is attached to theirs we hardly heard or saw anyone. Very peaceful holiday.

the cottage was very comfortable and cosey.

It was situated in some very quiet countryside and was very restful.

Beautiful well equipped cottage

The remote control for TV needs replacing as the standby on off button did not work also certain light bulbs were not working

Nice comfortable cottage in pleasant surroundings.

This is our second Sykes holiday cottage booking and we are very happy with the standards of the cottages we have stayed in.

This cottage was wonderful, the hosts friendly, beautiful position everything we had hoped for. Thank you Nicky for our stay in your beautiful holiday let. We will certainly use Sykes again.

The location is incredibly remote so it was absolutely perfect for a couples retreat.

The facilities were of excellent quality with a comfy bed and comfy sofa as well as a well equipped kitchen! The log fire was a wonderful treat after a long walk in the hills. There are lots of leaflets and walks provided, which we used to guide our activities. The bottle and glass did good food and was a reasonable walk! The owners were friendly but equally left us to our devices which was perfect! The dark skies were beautiful if you like your star gazing and there were plenty of birds to spot as well. A fantastic break overall and we will definitely be going back again which is not like us!

Perfect little cottage.

Very peaceful location with walks from the door. We loved it.

No this was a wonderful cottage in a very pretty location.

Perfect for a peaceful getaway. Owners attentive but not intrusive and beautiful fresh eggs from the chickens. Warm and cosy with everything that we required.

Very thoughtful presentation.

A charming building - 2 rooms of excellent quality. Super shower. December occupation for our 'business' trip - Warmth from log fire and auto electric heater. Local walks. Beautiful landscape.

The cottage was everything we hoped that it would be.

It was comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and in beautiful surroundings. No complaints. Would highly recommend.

This is an excellent place for rest and relaxation.

The owners should be proud of their little cottage, every comfort thought about, lights left on and the fire lit made for a warm welcome on a cold wet day. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk and eggs was a lovely surprise. We will definitely be going back.

Enjoyed our stay in a well equipped converted old workshop.

Apart from a squeaky bed everything was perfect.

Stunning area.

. Great cottage location and beautifully kept.

What a lovely little cottage in a beautiful setting.

Quite and very peaceful. Everything you needed was there even complementary eggs layed by their own chickens and fresh flowers on arrival. Bed linen and towels provided and very home from home, very nice to have a working log burner for the chilli evenings everything supplied just light it and sit back enjoy. Nice local pub for very generous evening meals in the Bottle and glass and only 5 min drive away. Only downside it shuts at 7pm on Sunday. Lots to see and do in the local area. The owners Dave and Nichola were very friendly and welcoming, we stayed for 3 nights it could easily have stayed longer and would strongly recommend this little gem. Only 1 small thing was the tv is very small after being used to watching a 50” but that is minor when you are away why would you want to watch tv. Loved this little gem of a old converted workshop which was very tastefully done.

Peace and Quiet of Location, easy to miss as road signs in the lane were overgrown by hedge.

Small sign at entrance would be ideal. Not far off major towns so travelling about quite easy.

This was the second time we have stayed at this delightful cottage .

It is peaceful and comfortable and near to the beautiful Shropshire hills - with many wonderful walks nearby . It is quite remote- tucked away in country lanes . It ideal if you enjoy nature. The cottage is cosy and ideal for a couple , with or without a dog .

A delightful cottage, and everything was very generous.

The weather was awful and the lanes tricky and very muddy, but that's an English spring. Didn't spoil anything.

Lovely cottage, just as described.

Was a little cold when we got there (think the cottage hadn’t been stayed in for a while). Soon as we started the fire everything started to warm up. Ended up being the warmest accommodation I’d ever stayed in and we didn’t even use the fire after the second evening. Lovely view from the cottage and very peaceful. Roads were a little daunting at first, but soon got used to the route to the cottage and found it easy to navigate. Owners were on holiday while we were there, but still took time out, to phone and provide some advice and general information which was nice of them.

All was good.

Anybody with a dog would find it very good to know, that their is a wooded bridleway just 50 yards away.

Everything we hoped for and more.

The accommodation was very comfortable and felt like a home from home. There wasn't one moment where we wished something was there that wasn't. The location was perfect for a quiet break but was also within easy reach of the places we wanted to visit. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and the instructions that were left in a folder on the table were very clear and helpful. Would highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely loved our short break away here.

The location could not have been better, beautiful countryside and absolute peace and quiet. The cottage itself was spotless and well equipped, and having the log burner already lit for when we arrived was a lovely touch. The milk and eggs left for us were also very welcome. There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area, with nearby Church Stretton and the Long Mynds National trust park. Overall we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or come back to this beautiful little cottage.

Very nice thanks!

Brian KATHIE and Lucy (JRT)

Everything was brilliant Quiet, clean comfortable cottage Owners had provided everything needed for a great week

The Old Workshop is a lovely comfortable clean cottage in an idyllic location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay & will definitely be returning. We couldn't have asked for more.

A romantic and tastefully decorated cottage for two.

Dog friendly too. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. If you want peace and quiet this is the place with plenty of places within easy reach with a car.

The Old Workshop is a stunning barn conversion, beautifully furnished and very well equipped, set in amazing countryside.

This holiday was all we could have wished for and more and nothing was too much trouble for the owners. We can't recommend The Old Workshop highly enough and will definitely be returning.

The property was excellent, and the owners are lovely.

Everything was most welcoming, we couldn't have wished for a better break in this well equipped, cosy accommodation, set in the beautiful Shropshire countryside. The journey along a single track road is well worth the drive. Fabulous. Will definitely be returning here.

The attention to detail in this holiday cottage was second to none.

It would serve as an excellent template for others to follow in providing the little comforts that make a cottage feel like home so quickly. For example: milk and eggs on arrival, tea bags, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, washing-up liquid, kitchen roll, hand soap, even moisturiser! We often don't know whether to take such things with us and it can be pot luck whether a cottage has them or not. But here it went even further - cling film and foil perfect for packed lunches, a mini pair of binoculars, a Bodum coffee maker, candles, a torch - there was nothing missing that we might have needed, and though only for two people there was enough cutlery and crockery not to have to wash up with each use, and utensils galore in the kitchen. Combined with the charming beams, oak furniture and co-ordinating soft furnishings, we felt quite spoiled! The secluded location made for a peaceful time and the surrounding countryside was a delight to explore, albeit initially by some very narrow, twisty lanes! Full marks to the friendly and helpful owner for making it such a lovely holiday cottage and still allowing pets.
