• "Excellent cottage for me and my family."

  Kids loved it. Very comfortable. Owners had a homemade lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Not a lot around the cottage but if you’re willing to drive 30-50mins to destinations there’s amazing places around. Two which we would highly recommend are the Shropshire sculpture park and carding mill valley ( perfect for a walk and to dip feet in the reservoir)

• "We loved the cottage and the lovely little welcome touches, we were however a little disappointed in the outside area, the bbq was too small and the area was all gravel and concrete and smaller than we expected from the pictures on the Web site."

  The garden would be no good for a large dog. We enjoy our stay the location is good.

  Welcome pack a lovely gesture, very clean, hot tub was the best I've been in. Only negative was the directions, all in our party got lost and we also found out the people in the other cottages also found it hard to find.

• "Great property for my family stay of 5 adults, an infant, a baby and dog."

  Lovely warm property for this February stay (2024). The hot tub was very clean and we used it each day. Plenty of hot water and good showers. My recommendation for the property would be to increase the freezer size in the kitchen which limited our storage a little bit, but not too bad.

  Hi Stephen, Thank you for your lovely feedback. This is a very valid point and will take your feedback in to consideration and when the current fridge freezer is due for renewal we will upgrade to a 50/50 fridge freezer. We hope to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Westhope Country Retreats. Property Owner

• "Lovely house with a cottage feel."

  Lots of space for 6 and enough wardrobes etc. We only stayed for 2 nights but a week would be great. Lots of utensils and pans etc in kitchen. Bathroom and kitchen tiles need a bit of TLC but all areas were clean. We didn’t use the games room but the hot tub was really nice and the temperature was perfect. There are quite a few holiday lets on the farm so quite a few other people around the car park areas but once inside the house you don’t notice. It was very warm and snug. Nice welcome with cake and wine. We would come again with friends or family . Such a lot to do in the area. Very good contact from owner/ management team with useful information and quick responses. Thank you

  Hi Helen, Thank you for your lovely feedback. I am pleased to inform you that we have had a completely new bathroom fitted in the downstairs ensuite and we have had the silicon replaced in the kitchen. Our house keeping team have been working hard to deep clean all of the grouted areas in each of our properties, thank you for making us aware of this issue. We hope to see you again in the future.

  Hot tub is the best we've ever used very clean and they check on it/top it up etc every day. Kids loved all the lights outside the house driving up. Homemade mince pies were amazing.

• "The property was good set up as usual with lovely wine and cake on arrival."

  Hot tub was excellent. However the games room is rubbish with most things broken and unusable. Unfortunately the holiday was ruined with all the wasps and massive hornets surrounding the property Site stores the waste bins for the complex 5m from the property and this caused so much distress. Wasps bombarded the property during the day that much we couldn’t sit outside. Then at night it was the hornets turn to come say hello attracted by the lights.

• "Comfortable clean and very welcoming - hot tub excellent - the only disappointment was the games room for the children - the football game was broken and the small poole table not level and worn - we took ages to find a ping pong ball for the table tennis on the very messy shelves which were such a muddle - it wants a good tidy up with some decent games and up to date books - and a specific storage spot for ping pong balls well labelled- I think if it was tidier guests might keep it tidier too - finally we were not too clear on where to put the food waste as could only find bins marked recycling?"

  Property wasn't clean I did email them ,food and spillages down the wall ,hairs in the oven and all over the furniture, skirting board filthy , mouldy areas and broken tiles in the bathroom definitely over rated , garden no privacy pictures make the property look totally different from reality Wouldn't recommend it at all very overpriced and felt a complete waste of money

• "Very nice clean comfortable accommodation."

  Peaceful location,and near to many areas of interest for walking and sightseeing. Nice walks from the doorstep. Cupboards were well stocked with lots of kitchen essentials, and crockery which left us with the dilemma of where to store our food! ( Maybe a larder cupboard would be helpfull) Mismatched cutlery was a bit disappointing for a 5* accommodation. Bed linen was to a very good quality, and super comfortable mattress. We enjoyed our stay very much. It's a shame that not all of Sykes accommodation is to the same high standard of cleanliness as The Wain House.

• "What a lovely stay."

  We were a family of six but upon arrival found that there were not enough plates and other items. This was rectified within 30 minutes using the method suggested in the welcome pack. All of the little extras were a lovely touch and it was great to find the ‘essentials’ available too. Would have been good to have somewhere to run the dog but otherwise perfect

  A nice touch was the cake, chocolate and wine when we got there The hot tub was lovely to relax in and watch the sheep in the fields The gym was a big hit with my son and we used the games room . Our first holiday with 4 week old grandchild and we made some lovely memories. If i had one negative it would be the very narrow road, but we got used to it and people were very courteous. Would defintely recommend

  The Games room and hot tub were brilliant for all the family, we really enjoyed them. Chloe the manager very approachable, we had a small issue with the oven which was quickly rectified. Only one issue we found was that the dining chairs in the kitchen were a little big for the table which meant some members of the family found it tight on there legs. Overall a wonderful place to have a stay cation.

  The place was overall very comfortable - we slept well, the kitchen was well equipped and the Jacuzzi was amazing. The only slight discomfort was on Friday as it was quite cold in the lounge - there is no radiator in the lounge so it took a while to heat up that room.

  We arrived to a warm welcome of a freshly baked cake and a bottle of wine. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Very often you need to bring your own items with you such as cleaning products and condiments, the Wain House has all of this ready for your stay, even down to salt and pepper! We took our dog with us and it was lovely to find dog bowels available for use. The hot tub was superb, again it was spotlessly clean and we used it daily, even though the weather was very cold and snowy. The cottage was wonderful and is perfectly situated in beautiful Shropshire countryside. We would definitely recommend The Wain House and hope to return in the next few months.
