Have to say that if the next two bookings we have this year with Sykes are as good as this holiday it will have been a great year of holidays. The cottage was excellent, clean, original,idyllic, all you will need for a quiet relaxing break in a lovely little village. Comfy beds, fantastic front garden to just sit in and enjoy the summer, loads of nice drives to places of interest had loads of walks can recommend going to the national trust walks at Church Stratton (go over the mountain from norbury fabulous drive and views ) All in all fabulous week in a proper cottage,

“The off road parking is slightly ...”

The off road parking is slightly misleading - On a verge down the lane. The stairs are VERY steep inside the cottage. Make clear that there is no welcome pack of milk, tea bags, etc., and that you need to bring everything with you, no store cupboard of dried goods, cling film, kitchen roll etc. Pretty cottage in a lovely setting. Comfortable beds. Woodburner very easy to light. Back garden owned by property next door.

A very comfortable cottage in a lovely quiet spot. This was our 2nd visit, and we will probably be back again. We have booked a number of holidays with Sykes, and also recommend the company to friends, especially those with dogs, as we have never had to pay extra to take our dog with us.

“Comfortable beautifully appointed cottage in rural location”

This lovely cottage in the village of Norbury is charming, secluded and a very comfortable base for us and our two children (5 and 8). The wood burner is lovely on a chilly evening and the kitchen well appointed and comfortable. The garden area is to the front of the house but the road is very quiet. Bedrooms are very comfortable and the owners supply the bathroom with lovely Scottish hand made toiletries, a r and al luxury. We enjoyed a lovely walk at the Long Mynd and visiting quirky shops in Bishops Castle. Lunch at Restaurant Severn in Ironbridge was an absolute treat and excellent value. Biking essential however as the restaurant is small. We also enjoyed RAF Gosford on the way home although agreed with reviews that you need hours there. My only reservation with sun cottage would be for anyone with very young children or those finding stairs difficult as the stairs are very steep. Also the local Inn also run by the owners has a fine dining restaurant that many trip advisor rivers have enjoyed. For us with young kids it was very expensive for quite small portions - after a day in the fresh shropshire air we would have been better off having a hearty bar meal elsewhere. The food was however very tasty and well cooked.

The property

Bishop’s Castle 4.3 miles.

Set in delightful countryside, adjoining the owners’ home in the lovely village of Norbury, this pretty, Grade II listed cottage is just a short stroll from the parish church and a 10 minute drive from the charms of Bishop’s Castle.

Having been tastefully styled to provide welcoming accommodation, the cottage retains its original front windows and Victorian chimneys.

It has two attractive, first floor bedrooms; the king-size double enjoys unspoilt country views across the front garden and the rear twin room can be made into a super king-size double on request.

Enter the cottage through a character wooden door and into the charming sitting room, which has a warming woodburning stove.

A door leads through into a social kitchen, with a dining area, where you can sit in front of the open fire on cooler days, keeping the chef entertained whilst they prepare sumptuous evening meals.

Or, if you require a night off from the kitchen, the owners will be delighted to deliver a home-cooked meal to you, or welcome you to The Coach House for an evening meal, just around the corner.

They can even offer a daily loaf of home-baked bread!

Outside, the garden provides a delightful, tranquil retreat in the summer, enjoying a south facing aspect and doorstep walks leading onto The Long Mynd, The Shropshire Way and Stiperstones, with links to the Offa’s Dyke Path just over the hill.

This superb cottage is the perfect location for an exciting break exploring Shropshire and the surrounding area, all year round.
