Excellent location. Fantastic trip. We will be back

"We thought the property was very comfortable and clean and had been imaginatively renovated and extended."
It's in a great position for shops, pubs etc in Much Wenlock and also for exploring the wider area.
Dear Marilyn We are so pleased you found Tannery Cottage clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed renovating it in 2023. We hope you come back in the future. Kind regards Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, well presented and clean, with all facilities you could want."
Our boys and dogs loved the garden too. Very central but quiet location. There were basic essentials such as salt, pepper, tea, coffee and sugar, washing up liquid and cleaning supplies which was thoughtful. We were also left a carton of UHT milk and a bottle of wine which was a lovely touch. The only thing lacking was soap in the downstairs toilet, everything else was great. We would definitely recommend and book again!
Dear Elizabeth Thank you for your positive feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Tannery cottage. We will ensure the soap is replaced in the downstairs toilet, thank you for the heads up. Please stay again in the future. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

Couldn’t ask for more,
Dear Alison Thank you for such a lovely review. We are really glad you enjoyed your time at Tannery Cottage ! . Kind Regards Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Fabulous property, very clean and beautifully renovated close to centre of Much Wenlock."
The owners have been very attentive to our needs and we would fully recommend Tannery Cottage.
Dear Richard Thank you so much for your kind comments. We glad you had a good time at Tannery Cottage. Please come back soon. Kind Regards Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Lovely cottage perfectly located."
Could do with a few more utensils in the kitchen. Straining spoon for cooking veg, large serving spoon both would be very useful. Also egg cup's for boiled egg breakfast. I also feel a small fan would be useful as it was not easy to access fresh air in the small bedroom owing to the location of the sky light. Please do not take the suggestion as a negative. It was a treat to walk into a high street and get fresh food it would have been a shame not to use self-catering to its full advantage. Excellent cottage.
Dear Annette thank you taking the time to give your helpful feedback. A fan is now in each bedroom. A serving spoon and slotted spoon are in the kitchen with 8 egg cups . We hope you can come back in the future. Kind regards Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Had a fantastic few days at Tannery Cottage with friends."
Cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Brilliant location and a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside.
Dear Maggie Thank you for your lovely review. We are really glad you enjoyed staying at Tannery Cottage with your friends to enjoy the local area. Please come back for another stay soon. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Really enjoyable stay - not least because we got hopelessly lost on lengthy hill walk on our second day - had no option but to call the owner seeking guidance which she responded to by turning out in her own car to come and rescue us!"
Superb.
Hi Graham I’m glad I was able to find you both ! I have husband who often goes ‘missing on bike tours ‘ Also, that you both had an enjoyable stay at Tannery Cottage. Please come back soon. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

"We loved the cottage."
It was really convenient for catching up with family. There was everything we needed and it was spotless. We will definitely be back.
Dear Will Thank you for the positive feedback. We are glad you found the cottage spotlessly clean. I will copy this back to our housekeeping. Please visit again soon. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Would have been nice to be told the garden was a public thoroughfare"
Dear David Thank you for your review and from the nice comments made about the property in the book. To clarify matters the 2 next door neighbours have access around the back garden for the bins once a week on a Tuesday and occasionally garden maintenance. It is not a public right of way. We will add this to the Sykes website details. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved this cottage."
It’s been beautifully renovated, was so comfortable and we had everything we needed. Our guests couldn’t join us so we were spoilt for space but there would have been ample for the four of us (plus dog! Having a dog stair barrier was a good idea). Much Wenlock is a lovely, interesting place and the cottage is perfectly situated for a short walk into the centre or driving to other towns. Thank you Kate for our stay and again for all the help you gave us. Also for your kind welcome items. Best wishes and we look forward to visiting again.
Hi Lindsey Thank you for your lovely comments. It’s so nice to hear you and your dog enjoyed your stay at Tannery Cottage. Please come again soon. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Having stayed previously at one of Darren's properties, we were expecting comfortable accommodation, and we weren't disappointed!"
The cottage was superb in all aspects - both the property itself and its location for exploring the surrounding part of Shropshire. We very much enjoyed our short stay; being very pleasantly surprised with Much Wenlock itself, as well as visiting Shrewsbury. We would certainly wish to book Tannery Cottage again should we return to this area. David & Christine Bennison pp Ed & Sue Hinchliffe.
Dear David, Christine,Ed and Sue Thank you for your lovely review. We are really glad you enjoyed our new Holiday Let. Much Wenlock is a great village to visit. We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

A beautiful cottage which has recently been refurbished to a high standard Very well situated in the centre of Much Wenlock There were no bath mats and no place for toiletries in the bathrooms otherwise everything perfect
Dear Mr Trotter We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Tannery Cottage We are surprised to hear you didn’t have bath mats as these are always provided. We will check with our house keeper to ensure they are not missing for future guests. We are always available by phone for any requirements. There are vanity units under the sinks in both bathrooms for toiletries. We hope you are able to visit in the future. Best wishes Kate and Darren Property Owner

"Beautiful cosy, comfortable cottage."
Both bedrooms have good size en suite bathrooms, ideal for couples sharing the accommodation. Less than a 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Lots of good walking and interesting places to visit close by.
Thanks for your Lovely comments Janet. We are really glad you enjoyed your stay at Tannery cottage and all that Much Wenlock and Shropshire have to offer. Darren is really pleased that people are using all the walk information he has left at the cottage . All the best and hope you can come again Darren and Kate Property Owner

"We stayed a week at The Tannery in Dec 2023."
The newly renovated Cottage is swish & spotlessly clean. The kitchen is modern & well equipped & the cosy living room with a log burner is lovely. Our king size bedroom was marvellous & had one of the most comfortable beds ever. Although the cottage is right in the centre of Much Wenlock, just a short walk from pubs and shops. The welcome guide was really useful and had several, easy to follow walks from the doorstep which we tried out with our dog. The village pubs, The George & Dragon and The Fox Inn were very welcoming, dog friendly, and served great food at reasonable prices. A bit further afield we enjoyed Ironbridge & Shrewsbury, a visit to the Prison is recommended. Also, The Wreckin'. The views are well worth the climb. A great place for a relaxing getaway in a beautiful part of England.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It really is appreciated. So glad you tried out some of the walks. Sounds like you really got out and explored what Shropshire has to offer. Hope to see you again in the future. Kind regards Darren. Property Owner

"Just excellent!"
!
That’s absolutely great Janine. Thank you so much for our first wonderful review And feedback on this new venture of ours. We are so glad our cottage exceeded your expectations. It’s always a bit nerve wracking getting your first guests in. So we have just got to keep up the standard now and improve where we can for future guests. And we very much hope that you will return soon too! Kindest regards Darren & Kate. Property Owner
