  • "Wesleyan House was gorgeous with high quality furniture and fittings."

    We were visiting with family including grandchildren and it was a perfect layout for our needs with its downstairs bedroom. It is also equipped with books and games although we didn’t personally have time to use them. We felt it was ideally situated for travel to nearby Oswestry by bus and rail travel to Shrewsbury, Wrexham, Chester and beyond. By car the nearby Ironworks was well worth a visit. Amenities we used in the village were the Co-op, Pub and Fish and Chip Shop.

  • "Wesleyan House is a most delightful conversion."

    Spacious, comfortable, with modern equipment throughout. It is very conveniently situated for major road networks to enable one to visit many places of interest. A happy time was had by all of us. Thank you Karen and Eric.

  • "Lovely building beautifully presented three minute walk from Gobowen Railway Station, local bus services and well stocked friendly Co-op."

    Four good sized bedrooms (one downstairs next to the downstairs shower room). King sized bedroom on first floor has an en suite. Also on first floor there are two further bedrooms (one double and one twin) and a good sized family bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with pans cutlery etc. There is a good sized dining table and a lovely tv area with two comfy sofas. The only quibble i had was the curtains in my room where not black out and let a lot of light in.

  • "Wesleyan House is a stunning property and in a very short walk to the railway station from where we could travel very easily to lots of lovely places, i."

    E. Ludlow, Church Stretton, Shrewsbury, Welshpool, Chester and much much more. The caretakers /owners of the are only next door and were very helpful when we had a few minor issues with learning how to use the super cooker etc. The weather was awful most days but I am afraid nobody can organise that but we did get out every day either on the train or driving to Oswestry and to Llangollen and the wonderful viaduct. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this holiday and would love to return there if possible. Thank you

  • "We (a mixed group of adults and teens) absolutely LOVED Wesleyan House."

    It was really spacious with everything you needed and all of high quality. The outside area is a real suntrap and handy as next to the kitchen for drinks/snacks. The private parking space is a bit tight and I think a SUV would struggle - HOWEVER there is plenty of fee parking literally opposite the front door. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and hope to return again one day. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback We always love hearing how much guests enjoy our beautiful chapel Property Owner
