Byne Brook Cottage

The beds were very comfortable and cosy.

A really lovely and roomy cottage.

We spent 5 nights at Byne Brook, beautiful cottage, we were welcomed with cakes and apple juice on our arrival, which made it extra special.

The cottage was like home from home, had everything we needed, beds were extremely comfy. Enjoyed sitting in the garden each eve around the lovely outside furniture. Our only downsides were there seemed to be an issue with possible air within the pipe system, which unfortunately caused a screeching noise regularly. We also only had a key for entrance through the utility room, as the owners took the front door key to get another cut. But overall the our stay was very enjoyable and would certainly recommend the cottage.

Fabulous cottage which we return to time after time.

Clean, well-maintained and welcoming. Cake and apple juice on arrival. Very warm and luckily wr had taken a desktop fan with us. Couldn't fault anything. We will definitely return

Wonderful property, in a secluded location yet convenient for Shropshire’s towns and beautiful countryside.

Spacious, comfortably appointed and furnished, with a lovely outside seating area and sunny garden for when the weather is nice. Comprehensively appointed and spacious kitchen, with generously proportioned living room and bedrooms. Beautifully clean on arrival. Swift but discreet contact with owners. Would heartily recommend.

absolutely first rate cottage.

immaculately clean, well equipped and well maintained. Lovely cake, apple juice and milk to welcome us. Vendors lovely too

Lovely cottage.

Really comfy beds. Would love to return

Hi thank you we had a lovely 3 days stay and a very relaxing time, weather was great and visited some lovely places.

Would definitely book again. Accomodation was excellent and very handy for visiting places. Thank you ,kind regards David Cairns, Halifax West Yorkshire.

The house was excellent in every way.

Beautifully appointed, well equipped, warm with the wood burner and in an outstanding position. It was easy to walk from the cottage and major places to visit by car were easily accessible. The proximity of the A49 was valuable but the cottage in the hamlet nonetheless felt beautifully remote. The perfect combination. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive. Excellent in every way.

Our third time at this fabulous cottage.

Everything was perfect and will definitely return. Cake, milk and apple juice lovely welcome. Would highly recommend. Thank you so much

Perfect for our needs… Booked again for next year

We loved everything about byne cottage very clean lovely property great walks very helpful people will definitely go back

This is a lovely house with beautiful views.

The garden area surrounds the house and we closed the entrance gates because of the dog. If you had a small dog it may be able to get under the gate on to the road. We would go back however not on the winter . The heating system doesn't go above 20 degrees and while we were there the temp dropped below 3 degrees which meant we all felt cold. There is a log burner in the lounge which we used. We have a log burner at home but this was an old one and not straight forward ...you may struggle using it if you are a novice! Perhaps the cold weather situations needs a re think

Beautiful cottage in a lovely part of the country.

It was very spacious and really comfortable. Caroline had even left us little treats. We had a great family get together and plan to book again in the near future.

Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.

The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you could need. Good quality bed linen and towels. Lovely Victoria sponge left which we very much appreciated, plus the milk and apple juice. Good wood burner to enjoy a cosy evening together. The only thing was the settee is not very comfortable but that wouldn’t put us off booking the cottage again. Enjoyed our stay.

Very spacious property with large comfortable bedrooms and bathroom.

Well equipped kitchen. Lovely wraparound garden with ample parking for at least two cars. We enjoyed the log burner in the lounge and the edible treats kindly left for us on arrival. Beautiful views of the surrounding woods from most windows in the cottage. Lovely and quiet area. Thank you.

Warm comfortable, well equipped and great location.

Cottage was very nice and spacious.

Lovely cake, fruit juice and milk on arrival. Only concerns was several round holes in ceiling and the sofas weren't very comfortable. Otherwise a very nice place to stay. Plenty to do in local area.

Fabulous area, great property, lovely welcome milk, apple juice and cake.

Would have appreciated a manual for tv and washing machine. Sneaking downstairs quietly for a cup of tea if you can't sleep is impossible as the stairs creak like gunfire! But I'd stay there again as they are my only nit-picking gripes!

Fabulous property had everything we needed and the home made cake was very tasty and a welcomed treat.

Dogs loved running around the garden. Great location for places to see and plenty to do. Really enjoyed our stay.

Good size garden for dogs.

Generally secure but gate to neighbouring property with Jack Russells is low enough for a medium size dog to jump over. Lots of walks in local area. If walking with dogs from the house, be aware that stiles on footpaths may require you to lift your dog over. And stock moves fields daily - so just because there were no sheep in the field yesterday , dosen't mean that the field will be empty today....Would recommend Rectory Wood in Church Stretton and Town Brook Path

Loved our second stay at Byne Brook cottage.

Clean, fresh, well maintained and spacious. Lovely home made cake to greet us, along with fresh milk and apple juice in the fridge. We will return in the Spring

A lovely spacious cottage with everything that we needed in an area that was very central to all we wanted to do.

The cake, milk and apple juice were very much appreciated. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

The cottage was perfect for our needs.

It is very well equipped and we didn’t feel anything was missing. It is in a beautiful, quiet setting with lots of walks straight from the door. The garden was lovely for my grandsons and our 2 dogs, a lovely patio seating area is also provided with very comfortable seats. After a day of walking in the hills, we sat in the garden with a glass of wine, it was perfect ! The nearest pub is in Craven Arms, probably 2 miles but it was a very nice walk there. Tuffins supermarket is in Craven Arms too and we got everything we needed from there. We enjoyed eating at the Kings arms in Church Stretton, the food was excellent. It was a great weeks stay in a lovely cottage. Thanks for the cakes, milk and apple juice, they were much appreciated

First impressions were excellent.

Large, spacious, superb beds and quality linens, nice Bara Brith cake and bottle of local apple juice. House located in beautiful hamlet of Strefford and we have visited this hamlet on two previous occasions so know it well. Surrounded by nature and birds of every hue. However, the house is heated by an Air Source Heat Pump which, if installed in a correctly insulated home, would be no problem but the house is draughty with unspecified hole in ceiling and also by log burner as well as a bathroom room window that does not close (I have photographs) and all windows need replacing plus no insulation in the walls or between the first and second floor. Air Source Heat pumps only work effectively on well insulated homes as if not, with no solar panels on the roof to pick up the drop in outside temperatures, they are ineffective. There were no solar panels and no way of overriding and temperature dropped to 3 one night and it was very cold. We had to put on the log fire and informed the owners it was cold. The booklet informed us that we would be charged £30 extra for logs and so we hunted down our own rotten ones in the local wood! Cleaning was a bit of an issue too although this was addressed by the owner once contacted. There is damp beginning to show in one of the bedrooms which would be easily remedied by the gutter being cleared as it is full of grass and moss. Finally, the bathroom needs a bit of tlc when it comes to the shelf by the window as peeling varnish. The windows inside and out also needed a good clean as we could see children's handprints and grease marks in our bedroom on the windows. The grass was also not cut for our arrival and was not cut during the week. We were there for my 60th birthday and whilst the rest of the house was fine, it would have been 100% if just a little more attention to cleaning and also sort out the insulation. We would not return as our usual Strefford property through Sykes was booked on this occasion but most definitely recommend the hamlet as being so close to Ludlow and Shropshire's wonderful walking country.

A lovely comfortable house in a lovely location.

Nice walks on the door step to take the dogs out, lots to do nearby in Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Long Mynd. We had a great time as did the dogs. Our host left a lovely carrot cake, apple juice and milk for our arrival. We would recommend the house. Thank you

An absolutely fabulous cottage in a stunning location.

We would love to give this lovely place the lowest rating to put you off….

but in fairness to the wonderful hosts and welcoming gifts we are compelled to say this is a special place. This was our second visit….and will not be our last….as you will have already read there are many who feel the same as us….so…..please find somewhere else to go…..

Lovely spacious cottage, clean with a big secure garden if you have dogs or children.

Great location, we loved it.

Caroline was so welcoming everything you needed was provided beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend. We would absolutely return for another holiday.

Family of 6 that stayed for New Year.

Absolutely beautiful cottage. But does need a little work - we had to keep the curtains shut in the living room due to there being a gap in the windows - which you could put your fingers in meaning the draft that was coming through was awful. The main bathroom, as soon as 2 people used the shower the water was cold for up to an hour after so others had to wait to have a shower. We had to get up extra early to have showers. The information booklet is 10 years out of date - there isn't a pub 0.6 miles away like the website states. It was a big let down for us as we like to go for a walk new year's eve then pop into a pub that's walking distance - quite a tradition for us but not this year due to information being wrong. We also called for a taxi using the information provided and was told by one that he hadn't been doing it for 10 years!!! The bedroom doors and upstairs flooring is very squeaky...we could hear everything, one evening my partner and I thought someone was in the house as it sounded like someone was coming up the stairs! There was also a dog barking around 5am for about 10 minutes. We also noticed random holes in the ceilings? Looked like it was where the fire alarm used to be but hasnt been covered up.... and also marks, scuffs and holes on walls. Aslo, can I suggest that in the bedroom with the low ceilings, there is maybe a sign to say low ceiling or the bed is moved- my partner come away with a BIG lump on his head - you don't realise how low the ceilings are and when you get up in the night to use the bathroom it's hard to judge. Once we first arrived at the cottage we had to clean all dishes, plates, cups, glasses ect due to then being marked - and the one oven dish still had the marks and oil in it from when it was used last! The cottage is massive, with some great sized rooms. We arrived to homemade brownies and apple juice which went down a treat! And the owner did pop round to say hello. We left a day early as we couldn't walk to the 0.6 pub as it wasn't there on New Year's day to raise a glass to the new year! This cottage COULD be a 10/10 it just needs some TLC and the information on website and in the cottage NEEDS to be updated!!!

Amazing venue.

Really well suited for our family of 6 and one dog. Lovely well kept and clean house. Had a lovely homely feel and will definitely be staying there again with visiting family in craven arms. The Christmas tree was a lovely touch and the kids loved the juice and brownies! Owner was awesome with communication. At night the clear sky was amazing to see with the no street lights-i enjoyed walking the dog and stargazing!

Beautiful clean cottage.

Really warm and hostess really lovely. Come into homemade mince pies and apple juice. All amenities can't fault including salt pepper dishwasher tablets you name it. Beds really comfy and duvets good quality. Made our family xmas perfect. Xmas tree up also which made our xmas stay even more xmassy. My only recommendation is that maybe some wire on the gate as our 2 dachshunds could get out. So not suitable for small dogs . As we found them on the road so just had to monitor them outside which was a shame. Also the owner was doing diy outside on the fence which was fine but we nearly let the dogs out without knowing and they could of got out the garden again

We have been to this cottage several times.

It’s a beautiful cottage in a great location.

Caroline is the perfect host.

On a cold afternoon, a warm fire, mince pies, apple juice and a Christmas tree were waiting for us when we arrived. That was all very much appreciated. Logs are provided so lots of opportunity to cozy up by a fantastic fire. The beds are really comfortable. The proportions of the cottage are bigger than they look on the photos Sykes have taken. Much Wenlock was our favourite place to go along with its abbey. Thank you once again.

We had a lovely stay at Byne Brook Cottage.

It was nice to welcomed by the proprietor and be met with some lovely cupcakes and fresh, locally produced apple juice. The accommodation was spacious ,warm, clean and well equipped. We also had a very large and generous amount of firewood provided to us. There are plenty of good walks nearby and the accommodation provided a suitable and quiet recluse from the bonfire fireworks that my dog loathes. We would happily re-book should we visit the area again.

The property was spacious, clean and well equipped.

The beds were very comfortable and had lovely fluffy quilts (not tired and flat!) Two bathrooms worked very well for our party of two couples. The kitchen was well equipped, plenty of crockery, glasses etc Utility room with washing machine and tumble drier was useful. Plenty of parking. Quiet location. We did find it a little chilly, the logburner was brilliant for the lounge but it wouldn’t have been comfortable without it and the bedrooms were certainly chilly, which was fine for sleeping, but not great for milling around getting dressed/undressed.

The location, and size of the property was great, parking good, rooms large, outlook great, walks from the front gate, lovely, down to the ford only 3 min walk, and the vast amount of National Trust arounf the area was vast, the farm shop and distilary 10 miles down the A49, is a must, and the pubs at Little stretton, were really nice, and food excelent, the log burner in the cottage, was really lovely.

We will be back

What a wonderful cottage with great views & surroundings.

Everything was perfect.Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was spotless. Great local walks & location for exploring further afield.Very secure dog friendly garden too was much appreciated. Caroline made us feel very welcome.The cakes & apple juice left for our arrival were delicious. Would highly recommend Byne Brook Cottage.

We had a lovely stay at Byne Brook Cottage.

The cottage was quiet and comfortable, and provided a good base to explore the wider area.

First class accommodation, lovely rural location.

We enjoyed days out to Stokesay Castle, Ludlow, Severn Valley Railway, and Blists Hill Victorian Town, all within easy reach via car. Would highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Byne Brook Cottage.

We were warmly welcomed by Caroline who gave us lots of ideas for dog walks. We enjoyed the cup cakes and home produced apple juice also appreciated the milk! The cottage is extremely clean, spacious and comfortable, fully equipped with everything you need for a home from home! It’s in a perfect location for lots of walks and places to visit. We can highly recommend a stay here

Excellent, homely and extremely comfortable house.

We absolutely loved Byne Brook Cottage. Caroline was a superb hostess, baked us a gorgeous cake and left locally made apple juice and milk. The house is furnished to a high standard. The garden was perfect for my brother's dog. The hamlet is surrounded by beautiful countryside and walks.

A very fine cottage well appointed and very comfortable.

The home-made cake along with the apple juice and milk were a very welcoming gesture from Mrs Morgan. Great location with superb views.

We were very pleased with our stay at Byne Brook Cottage.

We found it warm, spacious, comfortable, and ideal with a dog. The beds and bedding were of a high standard and overall the cottage was well equipped. The cottage is in a great location for all the attractions that Shropshire has to offer including pleasant walks from the front door. The welcoming cake and homemade apple juice were much appreciated as was being met on arrival by the hosts and a roaring fire. While it did not detract from our visit we did suggest to the hosts that the TV could be upgraded. Overall we would highly recommend and like many previous guests we will definitely plan to return.

Craven arms pub closed many lovely eateries around Good location House bigger than you think very decent sized bedrooms En-suite and bathroom lovely The log fire was very welcome in n the evening To make this extra special consider a hot tub and garden furniture update We will use on a regular basis

Our 2nd stay at Byrne Brook Cottage.

It is very comfortable containing everything you would need. It is extremely dog friendly and has a large safe, enclosed garden. There are lovely walks from the cottage and many more walks in the surrounding area. We would highly recommend the cottage, I'm sure we will be back.

The cottage was warm and cosy, lots of logs also for the fire.

Very comfortable beds and bed linen clean and crisp. Beautiful stream quite close and Church Stretton a short drive away. Our hosts were on hand if we needed them and indeed on arrival a plate of delicious mince pies and a bottle of apple juice made our arrival special.

We love this cottage and have stayed there four times.

It’s a really comfortable cottage in a great location. The host is extremely considerate and thoughtful.

We had a wonderful stay the cottage is beautiful and so cosy.

The wood burner was perfect for the snowy weather. The owners were so welcoming and did a fabulous job of making us feel relaxed, we would definitely recommend a stay here to our friends and family.

Stunning little place with a Harry Potter fire place Very roomy will be going again definitely Caroline was a very lovely lady very welcoming Home made cake and apple juice was a very nice treat on arrival.

This was our 3rd visit to this property and it is a lovely property in a smashing location for walks and visiting other attractions in the area.

It’s well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. A bigger television would be nice as when you’re sat on one of the settees you struggle to see it properly. What I think really needs updating is the Wi-Fi maybe a more uptodate modem. An enjoyable holiday was had by all of us.

The cottage was really spacious and clean, the down side we found the cottage very cold in the mornings and evenings and we could not adjust the heating.

There was a wood burner but only heated the sitting room. Also we felt it could have done with a long mirror in the bathroom or bedroom, and also a chair in bedroom. Also found it difficult with plugs under the dressing table. Also there is no pub in walking distance, unless you are really fit, also you would have to walk along a fast busy road with no pavement certainly not suitable for 70 year olds even though we are fit. I don’t think we would return to the cottage. But lovely places to visit in the area.

We had a lovely stay in Byne Brook.

The cottage is perfect, comfortable, clean and beauty situated. Everything you could need is there. The surroundings are lovely, peaceful and teeming with wildlife - kingfisher, and dipped in the groom and red kites nearby. Would certainly recommend it

Almost non existent Wi-Fi.

Lovely cottage in a wonderful location.

Photos do not do it justice. Great for walks from the door.

Superb cottage in a fantastic location.

Owner was very pleasant and helpful. Would like to have access to more comfortable seating in the garden. Some fold away camping chairs would be welcome.

Lovely cottage and surroundings, the garden was excellent for the dog’s.

Really enjoyed our stay and great early morning walk’s with the dog’s up the lane. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and we made use of the bbq. The cake’s on arrival and the apple juice were both excellent. The only slight negative was the lack of comfortable outdoor seating, after a while the wooden bench get’s uncomfortable and is a bit rickety. Otherwise everything else was great.

The cottage is spacious, well equipped and in an ideal position for visiting attractions in this area.

Delicious cakes and apple juice on arrival and lots of bird song. Our party of 4 all enjoyed our stay - thank you.

Lovely cosy cottage in beautiful setting Would highly recommend

Byne Brook Cottage is everything anyone would want from a peaceful country holiday.

It is kept spotlessly clean and all the appliances work well. The owner lives next door and provided us with welcoming cupcakes and apple juice. The property has a fully enclosed garden. There are many well maintained walking trails from the front door. We had a fabulous time!

This is a lovely spacious cottage in a beautiful position.

Great for exploring Shropshire,we thoroughly enjoyed our stay pity it was only a weekend we would highly recommend it, the owners were very nice and helpful

We arrived to a roaring fire and a plate of home-baked scones, very welcoming.

The property was spacious and very dog-friendly. The owners lived nearby and were very helpful, but not intrusive. There were fine walks in this lovely area of Shropshire, some of these walks being straight from the door. It would be difficult to fault this property at all.

An Ideal cottage for a ladies get together.

Good facilities & lots of space.

Lovely spacious property, comfy beds.

Situated near amazing walks (easy and difficult) with great views in the surrounding hills. Had the fire on before we got to the property which was a nice touch, and the heat pump heating kept us nice warm in winter. We had 6 adults, 2 babies and 2 dogs with plenty of room to spare.

Lovely cottage and location excellent for walking.

Delicious cake on arrival. Issues with the internet which was very intermittent (wouldn’t be able to work from home). A welcome pack to the area and house would have been appreciated

Lovely cottage in lovely area.

Owner met us on arrival and had left milk, scones, apple juice, butter and jam which was much appreciated after a long drive. Cottage very comfortable, beds firm. Had a lovely time and would book again.

One of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stopped in and we’ve been to a lot!

There were 4 of us but there’s more than enough room for 6 with 3 lovely large bedrooms, a large table and plenty of parking. The location is beautiful, really quiet with lovely walking from the doorstep but still within very easy reach of the main road to visit other places. The garden is properly dog secure and sure would be a lovely place to spend a summers evening with a glass or two of wine. We’d definitely book here again the next time we plan to visit Shropshire.

Really lovely, spacious cottage with everything you need and more.

Beautiful area with excellent walks from the door and the surrounding area. Just rebooked for next year.

My wife and myself have visited a few holiday homes over the last several years and this property is without question the best so far.

Great cottage for a weekend break, although could have stayed the week easily.

Great location to explore the Shropshire Hills

Good location- lovely scenery and nice and quiet.

Nice and easy parking. Clean. Welcome pack was lovely. Good facilities. Our friends who haven't stayed in many holiday cottages were very impressed.

this cottage has all you could want in a holiday home the garden is well looked after and safe for the dogs the house is set in a lovely area quiet and with lots of walks we were all reluctant to leave i would recommend it and would happily use again

This was one of the best holiday cottages we’ve stayed in, just lovely.

A short drive to Ludlow one way and Church Stretton the other with access to fantastic walks in Carding Mill Valley and The Long Mynd. The Ragleth Hill walk is also well worth it. Caroline our host was so friendly, there off we needed anything but just left us to enjoy the cottage. We were genuinely sad to leave and I’ll definitely stay again next time we’re back in Shropshire.

What a beautiful holiday cottage!

Rural but easily accessible and a perfect base for touring the area. Leominster with its many antique and curios shops Ludlow with its market, the castle and various brilliant eateries and Church Stretton with its galleries, delis and independent stores are within easy drive. Would recommend The Green Dragon in Little Stretton for good quality pub food - excellent service and dog friendly too. The cottage itself if very spacious with wrap-around gardens sporting a multitude of garden birds. You see bats in the evening too. The garden is perfect for your four legged friend or children as it is completely secure; our Border Terrier couldn't fit through the gate/fencing. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The owners live next door and were very friendly but not intrusive at all. Thanks to the owners for the lovely cakes, fresh milk and fresh apple juice (the best juice we've ever had!). Lovely little welcoming touches. The kitchen has everything you need (although a new frying pan would be handy! A VERY minor thing!) There are walks from the door in the surrounding countryside including down to a little ford a few mins walk from the house. We were very sorry indeed to leave and plan to re-book soon. We've been doing self-catering holidays for over 30 years now and this was very much one of the best and probably the hardest to leave. Thank you again to the owners for use of this wonderful spot for the week!

A brilliant property in a beautiful setting.

The house has everything you need, it was spotless, with excellent quality furnishings. The log burner was very welcome when the temperature plummeted from 28 to 15 in a day. Lots to do in the area.

This is a lovely cottage in a quiet hamlet.

Good position to explore Shropshire. We couldn't find a welcome pack, with information about bin days, local doctors/vets etc. Could also have a note about the rotary washing line fitting in the patio table, although we worked it out. No clothes airer indoors. Well stocked with kitchen ware. (except for a beer bottle opener!) Beds comfortable, but on the firm side and linen clean. Showers not power showers but good enough. All in all, happy to recommend. Owners live nearby and are very friendly and helpful.

Lovely cottage very comfortable loved the cake provided by the owner will certainly be going back

Cottage is beautiful everything is provided to make a lovely relaxing holiday

Beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped house.

Delicious home made cakes and milk let in the fridge for our arrival. Really lovely holiday home.

Fabulous cottage, very clean, everything we needed, wonderful cake on arrival, everything perfect except for the heating was on a set temperature of 21 degrees, in my house 21 is adequate, but in this cottage due to stone walls and being a large property, this was far too cold for us, unfortnately it did mar our stay slightly.

Caroline did explain when we arrived that it was 'padlocked' at this temperature but there was a log burner, which was just as well and it was a pure delight, but upstairs was a litle cold, couldn't wait to get into bed, but sadly ran out of logs on the last day.

It was a fantastic situation, as being so central to Shrewsbury & Ludlow, Craven Arms and Wales was so accessible.

Beautiful situation for everyone, we enjoyed the peacefulness.

This cottage is lovely- spacious and comfortable.

It’s in a great location and is very peaceful. We have been twice and would definitely visit again.

Had a lovely few days over the New Year weekend.

The property is spacious, clean and comfy. Within easy distance to visit many places of interest. Enjoyed a homemade cake on arrival. Would recommend and would return.

Really well presented and very clean.

Very nice owner who made us welcome

Lovely, clean comfortable cottage.

Very spacious and well equipped. Nice walk across the fields to plough inn which does a good Sunday roast

The cottage is in a peaceful location, which is handy for visiting several Shropshire towns and the Shropshire hills.

It is also dof friendly

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.

Very well-equipped and spacious.

Lovely clean cottage.

Well equipped kitchen which was really nice .

Lovely comfortable cottage with lots to do and see nearby.

Fantastic to be able to walk with our dog in the acres of land owned by Caroline, the host, The scenery is beautiful and it was so peaceful.

My granddaughter loved splashing in the ford which is very close to the house and we saw kingfishers , herons and red kites, The house is large and the garden secure. Beds are really comfortable and we had all the facilities we needed. We would love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful property for a family get together

This cottage is located in a small hamlet at the foot of Wenlock Edge.

The house is dog friendly downstairs with hard floor and tile coverings. There was everything we needed at the house. The owners had given a lot of thought of how to ensure Covid 19 risks were minimised, kitchen cloths, gloves, etc were put in a plastic bag so you knew they were clean, the crockery and cutlery were in the dishwasher so you knew they'd just been washed. There was antibacterial spray, hand wash and hand gel throughout the house. The owners live next door and were very friendly. We would stay there again.

An excellent cottage - well presented and clean

Great cottage, everything there you could possibly need.

Quality of the bedding was fab and contributed to a great nights sleep. The carrot cake was delicious and very welcome.

Beautiful cosy cottage Fantastic break away

Lovely cottage.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Description says there is a pub 9 mins walk away. Not true! It's not an easy walk to the nearest pub, particularly in winter. We found the Wi-Fi a bit slow but there were several people trying to use it at once. Overall though I would still recommend this cottage.

Peace and quiet of surrounding area, plus the delightful cottage which was warm , clean and well fitted.

Wonderful property.

Very well equipped in all areas and beautifully decorated.

This cottage is wonderful.

It is clean and spacious and in a glorious setting.

We had a very enjoyable week.

The cottage is very well equipped and ideal for a quiet getaway in a lovely area. Mrs Morgan left us a lovely Victoria sponge cake. Very much appreciated.

A minor criticism is that a chest of drawers would have been useful in the bedrooms for clothes that do not need hanging up, we had to leave things like tee shirts in our cases.

But this is a minor problem as the cottage more than met all of our needs. There had been an oil leak outside which left a residue smell in the kitchen cupboards but this was unavoidable & we were advised of this.

Byrne cottage was light, spacious and very well presented.

It was so peaceful and it’s situated in a lovely valley, very rural yet so easy to travel around the area. Shropshire has so many beautiful places to visit and Wales and Hereford are on the doorstep too.

This is our third visit to this cottage.

It is in a peaceful location and near several pubs that take dogs. The owner was very helpful and had provided lovely cake, eggs and apple juice. Thoroughly recommend Ludlow Food Centre, Carding Mill and walks from Shooting Box. Great for cycling too.

Byne Brook is a very well equipped house, I don’t think I have rented anywhere before that has been so well equipped, the beds are very comfortable!

Sykes neglected to let the owner know there were 4 of us staying so we only had one bed made up but Caroline(who is a great host) got this quickly sorted! We will be booking this house again!

Fantastic property , warm clean and comfortable , perfect for acces to lots of days out.

Dog friendly , the owners were friendly and approachable but left us to enjoy our holiday we didn’t want to leave at the end of our week .

Mrs Morgan was a lovely hostess, her knowledge of the area was brilliant.

The little details made all the difference. Such a peaceful, relaxing stay to distress from the world! We are looking at our next Sykes stay as we now would not go with anyone else.

Fantastic cottage, beautiful location,

A very well equipped cottage in a nice location with a safe and secure garden for our 2 dogs.

Byne Brook Cottage was the perfect family getaway.

It was wonderfully clean, well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. It is brilliantly spacious, the photo's do not do it justice. It's location is excellent, country side on your doorstep and all the amenities you need a 5 minute car drive away with Ludlow and Church Stretton a short car ride away. The owners were helpful and friendly giving advice on the local area for walks to do and the thoughtful touches of cakes and local apple juice on arrival, could not have asked for anything more from this trip FULLY recommend and we are booking up again this year!!!

Byne Brook Cottage was spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean, and well equipped.

Situated in a quiet position, with plenty to do within easy car travelling distance. The owners live next door, but are unobtrusive, and easily available by telephone if needed. We had a very enjoyable stay here.

This cottage is far larger and spacious than you see on the photographs.

We had 4 adults, 2 children and 2 large dogs and there was still acres of space to move around. Cottage was nice and warm too. Excellent everything (especially the wardrobes for playing hide and seek with young children!)

The cottage is beautiful.

All the fixtures and furnishings are top quality. There is so much room too. The garden is safe for kids or dogs. There is no street lighting so the night sky is stunning (weather permitting). The fresh meat shop down the road is now permanently closed but there is an independent butcher in the supermarket Tuffins in Craven Arms. The cottage is situated in an area ideal for walkers and for visiting some lovely towns and villages. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Very spacious house for six adults and two dogs.

Bedrooms were extremely roomy and beds incredibly comfortable. Unfortunately the sofas were less so, one in particular which led to those who sat on it with bad backs the next morning.

An excellent property, the cottage was well maintained and the owners were really friendly.

The cake on arrival was a nice touch. The enclosed garden was perfect for the dog and we completed the farm walk which was also really pleasant. The countryside around the village was superb with different levels of walks for everyone. The supermarket in Craven Arms (5 mins drive) meant we could get all our supplies easily. Would recommend this cottage, especially if you are large family as there is plenty of space to relax

Lovely place to stay a great garden for dogs fully enclosed, very comfy beds and lovely bed linen, local pub a bit further away than we thought if your walking but do great Sunday roast, the Green dragon in little Stretton great food and dog friendly, stayed at a few Sykes cottages this is one of the best , dissapointed the farm shop is no longer open, great places to visit, Ludlow and castle, the long mynd, Stokesay castle , so very enjoyable break

Cottage was extremely well equipped both in terms of utensils, pots etc.

but also consumables such as foil and cling film. Beds were very comfortable and all rooms very large. Would definetly recommend Byne Brook for a family holiday

Excellent property, comfortable and good size.

Well situated for days out.

Great family break with two dogs

A lovely spacious cottage better than expected warm and welcoming loved it .

The cottage was superb in every way.

The accommodation was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The location was perfect for all the walks and day trips we did including The Long Mynd, Church Stretton and Stokesay Castle. We enjoyed the log fire very much on the colder nights and it was great that the garden was enclosed so that we could let the dog out. We would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone and hope to be back ourselves!

The cottage was far bigger than we envisaged from the photos.

The location was superb, with great dog washing facilities in the ford at the bottom of the lane (and our two Labradors were particularly impressed!). Great utility room to then dry them off in too. Bedrooms were enormous and beautifully furnished. Garden is a good size and was very secure. Saw the Milky Way on several nights as it was incredibly dark! Lovely two mile walk around owner's farm. Good farm shop just 200yds away with excellent meat, pickles, chutneys, jams, cake and honey, plus a few vegetables. Local supermarket at Craven Arms had all the other necessaries. Will go to farm shop at Ludlow when we are back in September to see what's there too. Went past it a few times but didn't call in. Excellent pubs at Wistentow (The Plough, less than a mile away) and Little Stretton (The Green Dragon, about 5 miles away), both of which allow dogs. Enjoyed amazing walks in Carding Mill Valley (near Church Stretton) and would highly recommend the National Trust café there as you can sit outside with the dogs under cover.

Lovely house in a nice location.

Close to the A49 so ideal for a base to explore the area. The house is big with spacious rooms, comfortable seating in the lounge and a pleasant, enclosed garden. There was everything that we needed (although a shaver point would have been helpful) and the owners were helpful and friendly. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location.

Extremely clean and spacious with an enclosed garden ideal for children and dogs! The owner is very helpful, friendly and on hand if you need anything. We had a wonderful, relaxing week!

The cottage was spotless and spacious.

The owners were very friendly and helpful in every possible way. We all enjoyed our time there and would certainly revisit.

Could do with some information re the appliances etc and local contact no's for Doctor, Dentist, Chemist.

The owner was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful spacious well equipped home, excellent location for exploring Shropshire , would highly recommend

A beautiful, spacious cottage, maintained to an extremely high standard.

The owners were very helpful and even let us see the newborn lambs on their farm. We enjoyed visiting Stokesay Castle, Ludlow and Leominster.

Fantastic warm and cosy cottage.

Very spacious and a great location for the area. Would definitely recommend it.

The cottage we stayed was lovely, couldnt have asked for a better holiday, brilliant place to take your dogs, they loved it, thank you :-)

This is a lovely spacious cottage, plenty of room for six adults and 2 dogs.

The garden was enclosed and safe for a westie and a spaniel to explore without fear of them escaping. The owner was friendly and left a bottle of wine and crisps as a welcome gift and I could see in the visitors book that previous guests had been left various items on arrival. The cottage is in a beautiful area, Church Stretton and Ludlow are a short distance away and worth visiting, as is Shrewsbury. For walkers, Cardingmill Valley is a must with several different walks depending on whether you want an easy or more challenging walk. Our party have booked different cottages for a number of years, all have been good in different ways but this was my personal favourite.

Great property good location for exploring the many towns in Shropshire.

Quality bedding, mattresses & kitchen equipment ideal for a family or couples & big enclosed garden for the dog. Loved it.

great location, a very large property, really enjoyed our time.
