Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean' and 'very clean throughout', indicating high standards of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is described as 'quiet and peaceful', 'lovely', and 'ideal for getting out and about', suggesting a high level of satisfaction with the property's setting in Shropshire.
Guests describe the cottage as 'like a home from home', 'cosy', and 'very comfortable', reflecting a high level of comfort provided by the property.
The property boasts a range of facilities including a tennis court and lake, which are well-received. However, a few minor maintenance issues such as 'crispy towels' and a 'shower unit coming away from the wall' slightly affect the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in mentions of a 'welcome pack' and 'homemade cakes'. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Very peaceful with only bird song for company which made for a truly relaxing break. The accommodation was very comfortable and we had everything we could need. Location ideal for getting out and about and we found lots of places to visit and things to do within 45 mins in every direction. Would be happy to book The Coach House again as still places we would love to visit.

The 'welcome pack' of homemade chocolate brownies and some milk, plus tea, coffee, etc was very welcome and a lovely touch... delicious too :) We had a lovely peaceful time there and Helen was friendly and helpful. I have rarely, if ever, stayed in such a well equipped cottage. Everything was thought about and provided... and it was not cheap tat either. Even the piano was good quality. We loved it! Thank you Helen and Peter!

It's set in beautiful grounds in a quiet location and is ideally placed for the sights and attractions of the area. Shrewsbury is a very attractive town worth exploring as are the historic sites in and around the Ironbridge Gorge. We would also recommend the World Heritage Site of the Llangollen Canal, Clun Castle, the Severn Valley Railway and the Welsh border country around Welshpool, all within easy reach. One final point - we couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome than we had from the cottage's owners.
