TewkesburyCosy, comfortable and peaceful
Left on 05/23/2013 for a stay in February 2013
A really cosy house, with an 'olde worlde' charm; clean, well furnished and well equipped. Beds super comfy and good internet connection. Enjoyed selecting books to read from the well stocked bookshelves. Fresh flowers a nice touch. Good location for trips to Llangollen, Ellesmere, Shrewsbury, Market Drayton and Oswestry. Even in freezing weather we had a very pleasant week. Reason we didn't give 5 stars is because the shower in the wet room is a bit feeble and the shower over the bath not easy to use. Would love to return in the summer with all the boats going by. Angela & David Gloucestershire February 2013

Left on 12/01/2011 for a stay in October 2011
would have liked to have seen some representative as the written folder did not answer all our questions.That said we really loved the house it was very well equipped and beautufully clean and well presented flowers a lovely touch we appreciated. The location was great though a long way from any amenities our family met for the holiday and we all enjoyed all the time we had

Finding the house was easy enough, but beware GPS will deliver you to the wrong side of the canal - locals are friendly and will show you the right place to go.The house is 25m from the banks of the Llangollen Canal and surrounded by pasture, so it was "Good morning" to the cows and "Good evening" to the boats as they navigated by. House is comfortable enough but the master bedroom bed, really needs changing out. With a very large grassed garden it proved to be heaven sent for my two year grandson to play football on, morning, noon and night. You are surrounded by rural Shropshire and have a very easy drive into Wales. Overall recommended. Enjoy.

Dover. KentBeautiful property ideally placed to explore the area
Left on 12/19/2009 for a stay in October 2009
The family decided to visit a part of the country we had never been to before and chose Shropshire after looking at a map.
The information supplied to get us to and into the house was excellent and as we found our way there, we travelled through countryside that was dying to be explored. The cottage itself was excellent with a well thought out refurbishment having recently been underatken. As a party of six including my parents in their seventies, the property had everything we required for the stay. Being farmers ourselves, the proximity of the livestock was not a problem but should be noted by those that are not used to it.
Using the cottage as a base we explored the local area and really enjoyed what we found. My father is a keen entomolgist and ran a moth trap while we were there. Being late Autumn the records were sparse but have been forwarded to the Whixhall Moss Nature reserve for there records.
We only had a week to enjoy ourselves and wish that it had been two. We have already recommended Canal Cottage to several friends and will consider it again when we get a chance to get away.
Highly recommended -

Hythe, KentA lovely canal side cottage in the Shropshire countryside
Left on 12/02/2009 for a stay in September 2009
The cottage was well fitted out,a lovely kitchen, 2 living rooms and three excellent bedrooms. It was well situated, being rural and peaceful but within easy reach of many towns and attractions.The directions to the cottage were very good,easy to follow and lead us straight to the door.The only downside was the passage way round the back and the floor of the patio,both of which need some tidying up. All in all we really enjoyed our stay.
