  • "We had a fantastic stay, it was very relaxing and could’ve spent longer here."

    The cottage was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. We wanted to book again but just seen previous review the property is sold which is such a shame .

  • "We had a great time at Quarry Bank."

    It is in a good location to visit many places in Mid/North Wales. We had quite a lot of snow during our stay but we were warm & cosy & everything looked magical. After the tractor had been up the lane in the morning we were able to get out to the larger roads which were easily passable, so it didn't really affect our plans. We would return but I believe the property is being sold unfortunately.

  • "Two spacious bedrooms for a family of four or two couples."

    Having a log burner was a great treat. WiFi is patchy throughout the house but that didn’t bother us. Off road Car parking is a few steps up from the house behind a gate so felt secure. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

  • "We had a lovely few days at Quarry House, the cottage itself is immaculate, clean and very well equipped."

    We had great comms from Zoe to let us know the place was ready and also some nice goodies as a welcome pack. There are excellent woodland walks from the door, the surrounding countryside is very quiet and peaceful, but Oswestry is just a short drive away and well worth a visit. Thank you for making it such a great stay!

  • "A lovely cottage in a very peaceful location about 10 minutes drive from Oswestry."

    The property was exactly as advertised; it appears to have been fairly recently renovated to a high standard, and had quality fixtures and fittings. It was very clean, and the owner very friendly. The WiFi was a bit temperamental (one day out of our 4 day stay it didn't work at all) but that's not unexpected due to the location, and you get no 4G or phone signal inside the cottage due to the thickness of the walls. The cottage was well equipped, though there was no chopping board in the kitchen so you have to chop things on the glass worktop saver, which has led to all the knives being blunt. Also, there is no shelf or rack in the shower cubicle, meaning you have to put toiletries on the floor and if you use soap, not only does it dissolve, but you end up chasing it round the floor. But these were minor inconveniences and didn't detract from the enjoyment of our stay.

  • "My wife came downstairs on the Friday of arrival and had a quite serious fall which required a visit to Shrewsbury A&E on the Saturday."

    Serious ligament damage and possibly has bone fragments behind her ankle. The stairs were carpeted apart from the bottom tread which was bare wood almost the same colour as the flooring. My wife stepped onto the bottom tread and stepped forward thinking she was on the floor and stepped into fresh air and fell forward crashing into the wall and injuring her ankle. The owner was informed of this hazard and her response was at best glib.

  • "This is a lovely detached cottage."

    Very cosy. Added bonus of 2 sitting rooms. Owner, Zoe, met us not long after we arrived. Very nice lady indeed. Milk, wine and chocolate biscuits left. Log burner was laid, with a basket full of logs left. We only used this once and was roasting. Kitchen is well laid out and has all the utensils you need. The utility room is great and having a washer and dryer a plus . Spotlessly clean Our only negatives because we are quite particular is:- Towels too small, bath sheets would have been preferred and a full size hand towel as those little towels don’t wrap round the head for hair washing purposes Pillows need replacing., had to use the cushions on bed for extra support underneath them. Would benefit a proper shower over the bath, our fellow guests used our shower instead . Cottage sits on a very quiet lane amongst a small number of other properties. Delightful babbling Brook just the other side of the boundary. Grounds are very well maintained and laid with stone. We did love our week here, and was sad to leave. Despite the few negatives would thoroughly recommend Quarry Cottage.

We did have an issue with the internet due to the storm, but David and Zoe kept us fully informed of when the repairs would take place (it was a loose wire outside of the property), so we couldn't have asked for anymore from them. The cottage is situated in the quarry where it was out of the winds. When the weather is warmer it will be a lovely place to sit out on the patio on a warm summer's evening. It is well situated for exploring Shropshire and Wales and we found plenty to do over our 6 days, despite the weather. Treflach Farm is worth a visit, their pies and sausage rolls are lovely and handmade.

The property

Quarry House is a delightful, detached stone cottage, located in an idyllic and peaceful location on a quiet country lane, close to the small village of Nantmawr.
