"The cottage was ideally located to explore Bishops Castle on foot and was warm, comfortable and well equipped."
Adrian was an excellent and very informative host, meeting us on arrival, and quickly responded to any queries. We could recommend the Schoolhouse Brewhouse and would come again if returning to Bishops Castle.

"My family and I spent a glorious, sublime few days in this peaceful apartment, making full use of the hot tub."
We had all we needed, everything was very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. The car stayed parked for the whole duration as we explored Bishop's Castle on foot. We renamed this ancient, tranquil Shropshire village BC - Before Clocks, as the whole atmosphere is very laid back. Particularly enjoyed the garden, The Three Tuns' excellent food and the soaring red kite whilst viewed from the hot tub. We would definitely return and hope to next year. Thank you so much Adrian for the gift of total relaxation.

"Good morning
We had a lovely stay at school house brewhouse, feel it's very basic,maintenance outside could have been better, the old top off the hot tub was shoved behind a tree, the sail above the hot tub was hanging down and looked as if it was full of either leaves or water,owner assured us it wasn't ,there was netting as you come out the door which needs changing for Privacy,the bedding was all colours,although it was clean,it would be nicer all white, all In all,we enjoyed our stay."

Adrian came to meet us on our arrival. He told us about the village and the places to eat and drink. We went to the open market which they hold once a year. Fantastic. The hot tub was the big bonus we used it every day smashing. Adrian checked on us and we said everything was fine. Would recommend this cottage to anyone. We are going back next year See you next year Adrian

"Can’t fault the flat and Adrian the is very knowledgable on the area."
Everything from walks, cycle routes, shops and food. He seemed to appear if we had a question but equally never noticed him otherwise. Flat is quiet and private and everything easy too find and use and laid out very well. Highly recommend for cycling although always a bit of climb start and finish.

"We had a lovely stay."
The apartment is very family friendly. Little things such as children’s plastic plates and cutlery are a huge help. Access to a hose for cleaning walking boots, games and puzzles (which we got stuck into!) and an abundance of maps available for walking. Shops and eating amenities walking distance. The hot tub was fantastic after a big climb up the hills. Adrian was lovely and very helpful. No issues at all, would highly recommend and hope to visit again. EV charging out in the country was a huge attraction to us! It allowed us to explore further. The whole family loved this stay! Thank you :)

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property."
Owner met us at the property and went through everything with us. Lovely man and knowledgeable about the area.
The property is very well equipped and spacious for us 4 adults (2 couples).
Beds were very comfortable (for us) with spotlessly clean bedding and towels provided.
Hot tub was amazing - we made very good use of this!
Welcoming local pubs - serving food-within a few minutes walking distance.
Private garden lovely to relax in and just listen to the birdsong.
Overall, we had a lovely relaxing break and were very happy with everything. If there is one thing that could be improved upon then the shower cubicles need a bit of TLC around the bases
i.e. the sealant around the trays needs to be replaced. The showers themselves were just fine - it’s just a finer point perhaps to note for the future.
We would certainly visit again ☺️

There is a large window with a partial view of Long Mynd which was nice to stare at. Furnishings are ok if a little dated but beds are comfortable and the owner is friendly and helpful. He was very apologetic that the dishwasher broke down on the third day of our stay but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone else as he was going to replace it! Just unlucky for us! The whole area is superb for walking and touring round and we may well return!

Good sized accommodation for four with all facilities including hot tub in the garden. Only a hundred yards or so from the High Street including the excellent Castle hotel, Three Tuns pub/brewery and the take away.

Adrian, the owner was lovely and made us feel so welcome. It had everything you needed- salt, pepper, slow cooker, toastie maker, washing up liquid, games and jigsaws. I've been to other lodges and never had the amount of equipment or little extras that this place had. We had the sun loungers out in the garden, played tennis on the tennis courts and enjoyed the hot tub. The area around was a bit hilly but was fine to us. There's also a big childrens park at the bottom of the hill if it's a dry day. We loved our stay here! Well done Adrian!

"The cottage is very well maintained and clean."
The bedrooms are of a good size, both en suite with showers. The garden is small but enclosed and includes a hot tub which is quite big. The surrounding area is very picturesque and we had a lovely week visiting the local sites of interest. Bishops Castle is an old quaint village with a good supply of shops. But beware it is very hilly and quite a climb from the cottage to the top of the village. However persevere and it will be worth it. The Three Tuns is worth a visit for food and the brewery next door which provides the ale!
