"This is a lovely holiday home which has been prepared with care and thought to the holiday maker."
It is well equipped, comfortable and standards of cleanliness are high. The big plus is the location which is so central; street parking would be challenging but Frankwell is fine as long as the river hasn’t flooded.

"A comfortable, well situated house, well appointed."
We enjoyed our stay
-
"Our 3rd stay in 3 years in this lovely property and once again didn't disappoint."

"We have stayed in UK holiday cottages for many years and Willow View was without doubt one of the best we have found."
Clean and comfortable and within easy walking distance of the centre of Shrewsbury. Although parking is in a public car park the payment is simple through an app and it is no distance from the house. Thoroughly recommended. We will definitely return.

"Our third visit to this wonderful 'home from home' in the fabulous town of Shrewsbury."
Thank you again for providing and maintaining such a beautiful, comfortable, high quality holiday home for us to enjoy. It's very much appreciated. We'll certainly return.
-

"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Very close to town and walking paths. Would highly recommend this .

""Willow View" is a delightfully furnished cottage which we found impeccably clean, and with every comfort provided ."
We were delighted to see how much the owners have introduced E-Co friendly products to the property. The beds were extremely comfortable, the shower very efficient, and washing machine and dishwasher all available and in tip-top working order. We had a very happy, comfortable and relaxing week here, which we intend to repeat at some point in the future. Thank you for all the effort and thought put into making this property a real "home from home."

"Had a most enjoyable break in Shrewsbury."
Willow View was perfect; very comfortable, and to a very high standard with thoughtful touches. I certainly appreciated it all. Location ideal, quiet and convenient for walking into town. Will most certainly book again.

"We enjoyed a pleasant winter week here and made full use of the woodburner."
We appreciated the general cleanliness and high quality of the fittings/ crockery/ fixtures/ bedding etc. The general area and neighbours were very quiet. It was also nice to have some milk in the fridge for us, and a few treats on arrival. After seeing the local parking situation we decided buy a weekly ticket for the car park and it is good, literally 3 minutes walk away and down a slight incline.
-
"The accommodation was well kept and extremely homely."
The owners checked in with us and provided useful information for our stay. Everything was within walking distance, so it was great not using the car. We would definitely use this accommodation again.
-
"Everything good."
We appreciated all the little touches.

"This was a super place to stay for us."
So close to the middle of beautiful Shrewsbury, yet incredibly quiet and peaceful. The house is, calm, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The bed was comfortable and the main bedroom had lovely views across the garden to trees. The owners had thought carefully about guests' possible questions and the welcome information was clear and helpful which helped us. There were also plenty of books and games should a rainy day be on the cards. Thought had been given to eco-friendly toiletries and cleaning products and you could easily use the house as a base to explore using public transport. We felt very relaxed staying here and used it as a fantastic base to explore Shrewsbury and beautiful Shropshire. In our opinion, an ideal place to stay for a couple or family with younger children.

"Very comfortable and clean cottage with everything we needed."
Fantastic location for walking into town. Easy parking near cottage.
-
"We love Willow View and are regular guests."
We'll be back again for sure.
-
"Lovely place."
We had a great time.
-
"The cottage was excellent and in a very convenient location."
We did have a bit of trouble finding it, and couldn't see anything to indicate its name. You have to go in via the back gate. I would recommend parking in the car park rather than trying to park on the road, which is very narrow.
Thank you for your feedback we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry that you had difficulty finding the property, it is a little hidden away! Sarah sends an email out prior to any guests arrival to the email address on the booking, with detailed instructions on your parking options and how to find the cottage. My apologies if this didn't get to you. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

"This was our second stay here."
We had a great time again, the only thing not as good was the weather, but there is so much to do around the town it didn't really matter. The property is great, everything you would need for a week away. The kitchen is better equipped than most others we have stayed in. Great big shower and relaxing bath upstairs and comfy beds. Our 2 year old loved it as well, I'm sure we'll be back.

"One of the nicest home from home places we have stayed The place was ..."
One of the nicest home from home places we have stayed The place was spotlessly clean A little gem and will definitely be returning to explore more of lovely Shrewsbury So highly recommend
-
"The house is in an excellent location near to the centre of Shrewsbury but it is also very quiet."
It is beautifully decorated, providing a homely feel. We were left biscuits, wine and milk to arrival and heating and lights were on. We were glad to use the wood burner as it was chilly weather whist we were in Shrewsbury. Logs were provided and we topped up as necessary. We would strongly recommend Willow view as a great base to visit Shropshire.
-
"A lovely stay in a very comfortable homely environment."
Hosts were very helpful too.
-
"Willow View was as charming as the name suggests!"
Ideally located on the Theatre side of town, there are loads of cafes, pubs and restaurants within a stone's throw. Clean, warm, comfortable and it has everything you could possibly need. Shrewsbury is a lovely town, a 'must go' if you've never been. We really enjoyed our week, walking up to 12 miles a day in the surrounding countryside. Be sure to visit the indoor market, it's a gem! We highly reccomend this cottage, the owners made us feel so welcome; we'll be back!
-
"Excellent stay in a lovely house, spotlessly clean and great location."
Highly recommended.
-
"This was our third time at Willow View and as always lived up to all expectations."
It's certainly the place which we'll book for future visits to Shrewsbury.
-
"Very satisfied with willow view it was comfortable to be in and very clean and very well equipped."
Although no direct parking the car park nearby was only a few minutes away and good value at £24 per week. The house is very close to the centre of Shrewsbury via a pleasant walk all in all a perfect holiday home.
-
"Great property, well positioned, well equipped, very comfortable."
Couldn't have been better
-
"An absolutely lovely 'home from home'."
Comfy sofas and beds; good quality bedding; a selection of little goodies on arrival; nice little outdoor garden with choices of seating area; tastefully decorated with ambient lighting; great large shower space and, unusually for a holiday property, a few well kept house plants. It's a very short stroll into the fabulous town of Shrewsbury with lots of nice eateries; independent shops; river walks; visitor attractions and an easy drive (or train) to lots of other great places in Shropshire. Although the property doesn't have it's own parking space there is a very good car park within a couple of minutes walk from the house which offers a weekly stay at a very good price. It was hassle free and worked very well. It's a great holiday home. Thank you - we'll certainly return.

"Willow View is a delightful restored Victorian home with a lot of period charm but with all the amenities of modern living."
Extremely comfortable beds ( TOO comfortable !) , walk-in rainshower, kitchen with quality crockery, utensils and appliances. What is there not to like. No parking but Frankwell car park is just at the end of the path- booked in advance at £24.00 for the week. A four minute walk to the Welsh Bridge and we were into the vibrant town of Shrewsbury. There are riverside walks, open spaces at The Quarry, lovely Dingle garden, the Abby , museums, castle and with shops, restaurants and cafes in abundance. Unfortunately we had to return home. Thanks to our hosts at Willow View for making our vacation in Shrewsbury so memorable. Phil and Norma Brown

"Brilliant property in a perfect location, outdoor space was great and the inside was really nicely done."
We had a great week with out little 1 year old and will probably go back again next year. The beds were comfy and powerfull big shower. Close walk to the town and river as well so we barely drove anyware.
-
"We adored this elegant Victorian villa!"
The owners have carefully curated a contemporary interior with quality products. We particularly liked the period features, the powerful rain shower, the peaceful garden complete with squirrels and the comfiest mattress I have ever slept upon. The Owners should also be commended for their environmental credentials. We both wanted to move in permanently!
-
"Staying at Willow View is a real treat - the house has everything you might need, and had been appropriately decorated in the run-up to Christmas, a really nice touch."
That gives an idea of the care given the property by the owners, who live locally. Positioned perfectly between the shops and restaurants in Frankwell, and the town centre, it is an ideal home-away-from-home.
-
"This is the best holiday cottage we have ever seen or stayed in."
It is beautifully finished in every respect. Added to this is its position- impossible to beat if you want to experience Shrewsbury and it surrounds. The owners deserve huge congratulations on the property and what they have created here. We would love to come back when we next visit family and friends here.
-
"Our second stay at Willow View and the house was just as quiet, homely and welcoming as before."
We love this Victorian quarter of Shrewsbury which is only a very short walk to the town centre. Car parking is nearby on the long-stay at the end of the road, but you don't need a car here, everything is within walking distance. The railway station is also handy for trips further afield. Thank you Sarah and Paul for another great stay.
-
"We have used Sykes Cottages for a number of years now, and would rate Willow View right near the top of our list of favourites."
The house has been tastefully decorated throughout, and although it has a contemporary feel, it still retains the cosiness of a terrace property. The location is perfect, everything which Shrewsbury has to offer being within walking distance, but despite the close proximity of the town centre it is very quiet and peaceful. The cottage is very well equipped, and the sofas and beds are super comfy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends, and we hope to be back.
-
"Willow View's a really great period townhouse - particularly the classy, modern decor and fittings that have been carefully chosen."
It's got everything you need, it's quiet, it's conveniently located and it's a lovely place to stay. The owners are really helpful and it was a stress-free stay. Shrewsbury's a pleasant town that punches well above its weight in terms of size - plenty to see and do. There's great walks around the town and river. Slightly further afield we really enjoyed a trip to Powis Castle, one of the National Trust's most interesting gardens. We'd definitely recommend this place.
-
"Lovely house in excellent location, quiet yet 5 minutes walk from town centre."
Nice touches from owners like bottle of wine on arrival.
-
"This beautiful house is superbly located on the fringes of Shrewsbury, convenenient for relaxation and the lovely town centre."
We will definately return and have no hesitation staying at the same gorgeous property.

The house was beautifully presented and meticulously clean, fabulous location for central Shrewsbury and other Shropshire attractions

"Willow View is a beautiful property that is well equipped with everything you might need."
Sarah and Paul are wonderful hosts who were incredibly helpful during the week. The garden is a lovely place to sit and the house is stunningly decorated. My children loved their twin room and especially the games cupboard! The location is great, allowing you to explore all that Shropshire has to offer, with Shrewsbury right on your doorstop. A great find!

-
"Willow View is a beautiful house inside and outside and is comfortable, cosy and welcoming!"
The facilities are excellent, with everything and more that you could need ! Everything is of a high quality and everywhere was immaculately clean. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely bedding and the roll top bath was fabulous! Sarah and Paul were wonderful hosts and the welcome gifts of wine, milk , bread and coffee was a lovely added extra. The location is perfect for exploring Shrewsbury and the town centre, to enjoy the great shopping, plus the bars, restaurants and coffee shops. And the beautiful walks along the river are literally a few minutes away. Even though the house is close to the town centre, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. I will definitely return!

"Willow View is a lovely Victorian house in a quiet residential area, but only a short walk to local facilities and the historic centre of Shrewsbury."
Also very nice walks from the house by the River Severn and the splendid Quarry gardens. The house is homely and has a private garden at the front, a nice spot for morning coffee. It is well-furnished with a good kitchen and large bathroom. Car parking is very close and easy on the long stay car park at the end of the street. The owners are very welcoming and were available for any problems (we had none).
