"What an amazing house."
The best views we have ever had out of numerous holiday homes that we have stayed in over many years. Well equipped. Comfortable and warm. The hot tub was brilliant and much appreciated especially after our Long Mynd walk. The welcome cakes etc and particularly the lovely extra touches in the bathrooms we loved. We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you. Michelle and Stuart

"The only downside is there aren’t enough seats in the living space for 8 people."
2 guests sat on the floor in the kitchen space and downstairs in living area. We couldn’t fit 8 of us in the hot tub.
The WiFi kept dropping out in the evenings so the tv didn’t play properly. Other than that we loved it! The little touches in the bathrooms, the coffee machine pods and salt/pepper/cooking oil. The property was very clean and the beds were so comfy! Beautiful location for walking also.ample parking for the group size.

"We chose The Roundhouse mainly for its location, ratio of beds to baths and the hot tub, for a family (three generation) birthday weekend followed by an adult only few days as a reward to ourselves."
The unique layout, quality of fixtures and fittings and all the little welcoming extras were an added bonus. What a great place and what a great time we all had. We loved the view and that we could walk everywhere from the house. Plenty of hiking options in all directions. When we weren’t BBQing, we enjoyed excellent meals at the Station Inn (an adventurous hike over Ragleth Hill) and at Jaipur in Church Stretton. All in all, a perfect week. A special thank you to Ferne (the owner) for excellent communications, dining suggestions and providing such a wonderful home from home.

The rooms were spacious, the gardens wonderful and the views spectacular. We came away for a writers retreat and it was lovely and quiet and the whole atmosphere led us into our creativity.
The Kings Arms was wonderful and Jaipur has to be one of the best curry houses we've been to.
Only downside was the uphill walk home but without it, we would not have had the views.

Approx 30mins from Shrewsbury, nice to wander into Church Stretton where there are a number of shops and pubs. We had lunch at The Pound Inn, just five minutes away by car, highly recommend!

"The property is stunning everything you need is there."
We had a fabulous time during our stay. Gorgeous welcome afternoon tea with little cakes awaited us which was such a lovely touch.
The only points for the owner is to make is clear what to take as we took the advised bin bags, oven gloves, tea towels , detergents etc and it was already there. Also when you have only booked two nights the checking in at 4pm is incredibly late and uses a massive chunk of the afternoon, and then having to check out by 10am! We were all extremely disappointed with that again all the time used by these check in limitations. If you’re asking a big group to go by 10am striping beds taking rubbish to the bins is an extreme. We all loved the property but due to the restrictions in check in etc I think it out a lot of us off rebooking.
Overall the house stunning.
Hi Amanda, thank you for your feedback! I will ask Sykes’ to update my property profile to say that we supply all of which you brought. We used to ask guests to strip the beds and empty bins but since the beginning of February (2023) we have not asked guests to do this and have removed the check out details in the house. So I’m not quite sure who told you that you had to do this. When we have a change over day cleaning the house is a big task and if we did a later check out or earlier check in, we feel it wouldn’t give us enough time to clean the house to the standard that we leave it.
Thank you for your feedback and we will try and come up with ways to make the check in earlier and check out later. Many thanks

"The roundhouse is beautiful, and the setting and views are amazing."
The hot tub is also a great feature. The layout of the house is great and the furnishings were very comfortable. The robes were also a nice touch. There were 7 of us, and we all fit nicely and had a great time.
A few points i would make that need improvements are that the hot water tap in the kitchen was very temperamental, and some of the house technology is just too much..a few to many spotlights too. The checkout is far too early when you have to empty all the bins, strip the beds, and leave the house clean and tidy. You pay a lot of money to stay here, so therefore, the checkout needs to be later to accommodate the owners' needs and so the guests do not have to get up at the crack of dawn.

Everything was just about perfect. The only 2 things I have a niggle with, we couldn't get the dishwasher to work, and had to scoop out the undrained water. Unfortunately there was broken glass in it from a previous use (not ours) and my friend cut her hand on it. The only other thing was the light in the en suite that comes on when you enter. This is extremely bright and startling in the middle of the night. However all that aside we are hopefully looking to re- book for another visit. Oh and the jacuzzi is wonderful.

"We have just returned from a lovely week holiday at roundhouse."
Upon arrival the views are breathe taking. The house is nestled half way up a Shropshire hill looking across at the valley. Truly stunning.
On arrival; The check in was seamless, house was clean and well equipped for our holiday, the welcome tea and coffee was appreciated.
Host; the host was easily accessible and responded swiftly to any queries.
Value for money; for the price we paid (circa 1600) we were satisfied with our holiday, we went to book for 2022 and noticed the price has increased significantly. We held off booking. With this price increase there are a few things the host needs to Improve, there is a smell of sewers that appears in one of the bedrooms making it difficult to sleep there, this didn't impact us as we only needed 3 bedrooms however if the 4th bedroom was needed that would cause an issue for others. The zips on the cushions in the living room are broken. The dishwasher and tumble dryer should be checked before each new guest arrives, dishwasher had no salt and the tumble dryer water and lint collection were full to the brim. Finally the filters in the hot tub should be cleaned more thoroughly there was a lot of debri attached to the blue filter in the bottom of the hot tub. These items are not being raised as a complaint but as a recommendation based on the price increase.
We had an amazing time at the roundhouse, the pictures do not do it justice. We had one of our favourites UK holidays here at the roundhouse. Its a place you can truly switch off and reset.
Thank you for a wonderful week. I'm sure we will be back soon.
