Riverside

We had a thoroughly enjoyable week at the lovely apartment at 'Riverside' which is well placed for visiting the places we found interesting.

Karen and Elwyn were very helpful and made us feel very much at home. We hope to be able to return in the future.

Wonderful well equipped cottage with garden area for enjoying the sunshine.

In an excellent location for Shropshire attractions such as Coalbrookdale museums, National Trust properties and stunning walks in the local hlls and countryside. Very welcoming owners, we loved our stay.

A lovely holiday let - everything that I could have wanted.

We had an enjoyable week in this very comfortable, clean and spacious apartment in lovely surroundings.

There is so much to see and do in this part of the world and we plan to revisit in the future and would happily recommend Riverside to family and friends.

flat had a lovely outlook over the gardens and bird feeding station, , also a nice place to sit in the garden.

Hosts were very pleasant

A nice clean and comfortable apartment in a lovely garden.

Ideally located for exploring the surrounding area. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Only issue was the stairs up to the property were very tight and would be problematic for people with any mobility issues. The kitchenette is adequate if you don't wish to cook much and make sure you bring all food with you that is necessary for when you arrive.

Lovely, clean & comfortable property, as described except the description says there is a toilet in the bathroom as well as a separate toilet and basin.

There isn't a toilet in the bathroom, but we don't need 2 so not a problem but may be worth changing in the description.

We had a lovely time at the holiday property.

There was everything there to make a comfy stay. The hosts were lovely friendly people.

We stayed at Riverside, Stokesay, in the last week of April 2023.

The one-bedroom apartment is upstairs in the Old Vicarage; the stairs are narrow and quite steep with a return so would be difficult for anyone with poor mobility. That said, this is one of the nicest rentals we have stayed in. The owners are friendly and greeted us in person. The apartment features large rooms and high ceilings throughout, with large Georgian windows overlooking the owners' large garden. These are single-glazed except in the bedroom (secondary glazing). The property is on the A49 but we were not disturbed by traffic noise at night. The central heating works well and kept the place warm and cosy. There is a large shower room and separate WC. The bedroom features a 6'x8' bed with two large built-in wardrobes, so plenty of storage. The kitchenette, open plan with the lounge, is basic, featuring a mini-oven with hob and a microwave but we rustled up basic meals ok. Some visitors will no doubt prefer to eat out anyway. The views are lovely and the garden is alive with wildlife: birds on the nut feeders, pheasants and wild rabbits. There is a seating area for guests too. The wifi worked well except when the resident squirrels chewed through the phone line! This was fixed courtesy of BT. The property is next door to picturesque Stokesay Castle (EH), and there are walks from the property via the Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. Ludlow is nearby, Bishops Castle and Church Stretton/The Long Mynd/Cardingmill Valley (NT) are a short drive away. The property sits nicely in the south Shropshire hills AONB, and gives access to places in north Herefordshire too, such as Croft Castle (NT), worth a visit. We drive an EV and found a chargepoint in nearby Craven Arms, in the petrol station at Tuffin's supermarket. This has four plugs which seem to be little used so a charge is easy to obtain.

Riverside was clean and spacious set in a beautiful garden with onsite parking.

. The hosts made you feel very welcome in their property, having our own seating area in the garden allowed us to watch the local wildlife, so relaxing.. Easy access by car to local towns and next door to Stokesay Castle.

Riverside was absolutely perfect for me.

The accommodation was spacious, spotless and comfortable and well located for exploring the area. Looking down on a beautiful garden I was delighted to be able to watch a wide variety of birds. Wonderful walking on the Long Mynd, Stiperstones and Clee Hills. The owners were friendly and helpful. I would love to return.

Very nice couple who greeted us on arrival.

We were shown around our accomadation and even had a spot to sit in their garden. Certainly would go back again.

Very disappointed

Really unhappy to find that Sykes still took their commissions for Covid cancellations whilst making the property owners refund the full amounts.

Also the £30 fee for changing our booking date - all kept by Sykes for what was probably an automated process! SHAME ON YOU SYKES.... Regarding the property - superb. The owners friendly but not intrusive - recommend Riveside but not Sykes!

The owners were lovely and very welcoming - home made cakes on arrival and found us a garage when we got a puncture !

! The apartment was very clean and looked brand new. We had our own garden area which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend and will go back in the future.

Lovely break in lovely county.

Thanks Mr ad Mrs. Morgan, perfect hosts

We had a lovely time at Riverside.

The Morgans gave us a very warm welcome, including homemade cakes, and the accommodation has everything you could hope for. It was the perfect base for us to explore the Shropshire Hills and surrounding area. We would highly recommend!

So relaxing and peaceful, very enjoyable, lovely grounds, wonderful for watching wildlife.

Great centre for touring. Excellent hosts in Mr. and Mrs. Morgan.

Lovely warm welcome from Mr and Mrs Morgan.

Bed is really comfortable, lovely views from windows. Easy walk into Craven Arms and on to walking the hills. Nearly everyone we met was very friendly.

The booking process for this holiday was very efficient.

Also the communication from Sykes Holiday was very full and continuous.

The hosts were very warm and welcoming, and the location is perfect for exploring the area.

Great centre for exploring Shropshire!

Right next to A49, but very quiet.

No everything was fine.

We had a really enjoyable and relaxing stay, we would visit this property again.

lovely accommodation, pleasant location, beautifull countryside, interesting places to visit

Karen and Elwyn were fantastic.

We were so welcome and nothing was too much for them. Always smiling and willing to help and provide us with anything we wanted. Highly recommend a stay with them.

The cottage was in a great location for visiting the surrounding area.

The owners were really friendly and the cupcakes laid out for our welcome were much appreciated. There were lots of tourism leaflets and local information available in the accommodation which helped our planning of activities. Thanks Karen and Elwyn.

A very comfortable flat, close to shops / amenities and the owners were lovely and welcoming.

We appreciated the extras such as washing up liquid, toilet rolls, nice bed linen. Thanks for the delicious cakes as well. There is a lovely outlook over the river and Stokesay castle in the distance. It was also nice to see their shy little pony in its stable close to where we parked. Staying here we were able to explore lots of lovely places such as Shrewsbury, church Stretton, bishops castle, Powis castle, ellesmere lakes & canals and so much more. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We had a lovely peaceful holiday at Riverside.

The accommodation has everything you need and is located in a lovely spot. We could see Stokesay Castle from the window! Peaceful walks and lots of birds watching. We will definitely be returning to Riverside.

Excellent accommodation.

Owners Karen and Elwyn so pleasant and helpful. Devine cakes baked by Karen

We were greeted by the owner Karen who showed us around the cottage which was lovely, and she had even baked us some cakes which were so delicious.

It was such a peaceful place to stay and the views from the windows were delightful. There was plenty of information about the best places to visit and food menues for local eateries for is to look through. Overall one of the nicest places i have ever stayed.

Apartment excellent, beautiful surroundings and lovely welcome, the gluten free buns were delightful

Excellent hostess, Welcoming and 'nothing too much trouble'.

A lovely flat in a beautiful and convenient location.

I hope the guitar playing didn't keep you awake x

We wanted a base for this part of the country, to visit the hills, mountains and small towns in Hereford, Shropshire and into Wales.

The welcome was very friendly, and Karen and Elwyn made the stay most enjoyable - not forgetting Molly the lovely pony in her stable - opposite our window. We look forward to going back next year.

The most comfortable self-catering I have stayed in and a great location for exploring and walks.

Highly recommended.

It was a perfect location to suit all tastes.

We enjoyed hill walking, town visits, historical sites and the natural history of the area. The owners were particularly welcoming and friendly and were able to give us advice and information about the area.

The cottage is a delight.

It is clean and comfortable and has a cosy feel. It is in a peaceful setting with beautiful walks straight from the door. The owners were welcoming and did everything they could to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Couldn’t ask for more. 100% recommended.

Me & my wife were made very welcome by the host from the moment we got there, very helpful the whole time we stayed.

Accommodation comfortable and spotlessly clean with welcome homemade cakes on arrival.

owners friendly and helpful, would book again.

No, it was all fine.

Lovely and comfortable accomodation, beautiful areas and great surroundings!

Very nice warm welcome from Karen and Elwyn, home made cakes on arrival were just what we needed! Definately will consider booking again for a break away!

Yes, Karen and Elwyn are wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them.

A lovely welcome with fresh home made cakes, just what is needed on arrival. The peoperty is ins a good central location for visiting Powys Castle, Hereford, Ludlow and many other historical places. We're sure time allowing that we will seriously consider returning and hopefully to this property in the future.
