"As commented on by other people, the property has a little 'tired' appearance both in and out."
Comfort and spaciousness are fine, but it is due for a good maintenance bash. Of which the newish (?) owner is fully aware. Lack of full lighting in the kitchen is one that needs sorting urgently. Be nice to have mirrors in 'all' the bathrooms for shaving etc. Location and parking are fine, Navigation Inn a very short walk away does excellent food (limited openings, and book your group), great place for a family gathering and anyone of limited mobility. Just the job!

"On the whole the property was lovely and just what we needed."
There are some areas that need a little bit of attention, such as descaling shower heads and some lightbulbs aren’t working. We would also have appreciated some guidance around what to do with bins/bedding. However this didn’t stop it from being a lovely house, the rooms were large and comfortable and the kitchen had all the utensils we needed (which is unusual). We would recommend Maesbury Manor.

"Enjoyed our stay, plenty of space for two families."
3 showers- 2 are accessed through downstairs twin rooms, not a problem for us as children up early! Space for all at dining table.

"Great property and great location."
Our eldest child uses a wheelchair and the property was perfect for his needs. Loads for children and adults to do in the local area, but teenagers might prefer a more built-up location.

"We were a family group of 5 with one elderly person and one wheelchair user."
The property was spacious enough and comfortable. The only important items missing for a disabled person are drop down rail for wetroom toilet and hand grip bars in shower area of wet room. As we knew in advance about this we took our own toilet frame. However our portable hand grips for shower wouldn’t affix to tiles, so this was the only problem we encountered. Good location for exploring this part of uk.

"Holiday accommodation was fine and well kept but but outside areas needed tidying and the gardens needed to be separated because of owners 4 dogs and cat which perhaps we should of been informed about in the information about the cottage."
Also we could find no information pack in the cottage concerning appliances etc and re-cycling and we didn’t feel like we wanted to keep distributing the owner to ask about these things.
-
"Lovely property and surroundings."
Accommodating host who dealt with any questions we may have had. All anybody could need whilst on holiday.
-
"We had a bit of a problem on arrival as the owner wasn’t expecting us and wasn’t available to take calls."
Following a call to Sykes the owner was located and offered to buy us a meal in the pub opposite while the house was prepared for us. The rest of our stay was excellent and we had no further problems. The house is comfortable and well appointed and we all enjoyed our stay. Some information about recycling, working the central heating and leaving instruction would have been useful, but we muddled through without and major issues.

"We had a fabulous family Christmas at Maesbury Manor."
The house is so spacious and homely, even more so than the photos. It was lovely and warm and festively decorated. As we did a lot of cooking, especially with it being Christmas, the property could benefit from a few more pots, pans and utensils, especially for the amount of people it sleeps, and also some instruction manuals and information would be useful. However, that didn't spoil our visit, we improvised! The big social kitchen / diner was great for family game time and the large comfortable living room was great for films. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend and return if in the area again.

"This was a fabulous property, and the owner was a very accommodating, ftiendly, lovely lady who understands the needs of individuals who require additional support and their carers."
A great property for large group or even just a smaller family. Thoroughly recommended for all families especially those with specialist needs. Thank you.

Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the dining table to indulge in the fruits of your labour before making the most of your peaceful, countryside setting and carrying the conversation outdoors and into the late evening.
When sleep calls, you'll find the first of two bedrooms on the ground floor, each equipped with twin beds and benefiting from access to their very own en-suite wet room and a hoist to assist with accessibility.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor you'll discover a sumptuous super-king-size bedroom, a double and an additional twin, with a stylish shower room set across the way.
