“Just Perfect”

We stay 5 wonderful nights at the Annexe which was simply perfect. Spotlessly clean, spacious and so well maintained. More than everything you needed-full kitchen including dishwasher, washer, dryer. Lovely welcome pack. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, cookware etc. Lovely fresh soft towels and linen provided including towels and robes for the hot tub. Garden and Hot tub were amazing and both very private, we used the hot tub every night and loved it. The Annexe is close to the A49 so is great for ...

We stay 5 wonderful nights at the Annexe which was simply perfect. Spotlessly clean, spacious and so well maintained. More than everything you needed-full kitchen including dishwasher, washer, dryer.

Garden and Hot tub were amazing and both very private, we used the hot tub every night and loved it. The Annexe is close to the A49 so is great for exploring. You could hear faint road noise on a morning but we knew about that and it certainly didn't spoil it. Pauline and Paul were both lovely and fantastic hosts -thank you for a great stay, we can't wait to return and highly recommend The Annexe and soon to be log cabin.

“The Annexe is one of our favourite Sykes Cottages as we try to visit every year.”

Pauline and Paul never let the Annexe get "tired" as they always seem to be updating the venue. We will continue visiting in the future. PERFECT!

“Home from home...and more!!!”

What a lovely break we had...just perfect. The property is situated about one mile from the small town of Craven arms, which can supply all your shopping requirements and has no charges for parking. On the outskirts of town there is the Discovery Centre which is well worth a visit and from where you can begin many well sign-posted walks. There are also walks to be done from the annexe and with the aid of OS maps, present little difficulty in following them. The "Annexe" had everything we needed and some things we didn't. The rooms were all so spacious with top quality fixtures and furnishings...even down to the electric can opener. The 42" plasma tv with Sky was a definite plus and so seldom seen in many rental cottages. Comfortable seating in the lounge and an excellent bed to rest our weary heads after a days walking were always welcome. Our hosts...Pauline in particular as Paul was busy working most days...were excellent and went out of there way in making our holiday one to remember for all the right reasons. Although the annexe is positioned on a busy road (which is indicated in Sykes' brochure) we didn't find this to be a problem at all. First class double glazing and large fences around the cottage nullified most of the noise. Would we stay here again? You bet. It was without doubt one of the best places we have stayed at in our many years of holidaying this way. One final thing...we had no clouds during six of our seven days there. Brilliant. If you have any questions I can help you with please feel free to send a personal message.

About the location

CRAVEN ARMS

Church Stretton 7 miles; Ludlow 8 miles.

The small market town of Craven Arms, known as The Gateway to the Marches is conveniently located between the beautiful medieval town of Ludlow and delightful Church Stretton. Craven Arms is an ideal base, which nestles close to the scenic Wenlock Edge and Corvedale Valley with fine walks from the town to lovely Stokesay Castle, one of England's finest fortified manors, or the very popular Shropshire Hill Discovery Centre. The town also has some charming and historic houses, including a round house, thought to be a recognisable rest house for pilgrims travelling between Wigmore and Shrewsbury Abbeys and the fascinating 'Museum of Lost Content'. Just two miles away in the village of Wistanstow is the Plough Inn, a good local wood brewery. Church Stretton is close by and nestles between the Long Mynd and Caradoc Hills, renowned for their scenic walks and excellent golf course. The historic towns of Bishop's Castle, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are a short drive away, and offer magnificent castles, riverside walks, wonderful shops, pubs, restaurants, exciting theatres and a variety of festivals. This is a perfect base for touring all of beautiful Shropshire at any time of the year.
