"Staying at Highbury cottage was an excellent stay."
A warm welcome from the owner,,everything was great.Well equipped kitchen.In fact it was really cosy,,would definitely stay again if we were going that way,, It was perfect for us…
-
"Highbury cottage is a beautiful cottage, set in lovely countryside."
We were able to have lovely walks straight from its door. The cottage is extremely cosy indoors, with interesting pictures on the wall, so that it doesn't have the 'barren' look that some holiday cottages have. We have rented many cottages over the last 40 years and this is one of the best we have stayed in. It was very well equipped, and though one-bedroomed, there was plenty of room for a couple. Lots of cupboard and wardrobe space too. We would recommend it to any couple looking for a quiet country retreat.
-
"Perfect! We were 100% happy with our stay in this lovely little cottage."
The friendly owner, Jeff, came out to meet us as we arrived and made sure that we had everything that we needed in our holiday accommodation. He'd left fresh fruit, breakfast cereals, tea, coffee, sugar and milk for our use and the cottage was well equiped with everything that we needed (and more). It was lovely and clean and it was easy to keep it so. Jeff discovered that we were driving an electric car and he told me that he'd been thinking about getting one himself and having an EV charging point installed. We found plenty of places to charge, the one at our nearest Tesco Extra being the most convenient for us. It's from here that the Park and Ride bus goes from too. We're looking forward to staying again sometime!

"The cottage was very lovely and such a peaceful location, very clean and with everything you need in the cottage, plus lots of little surprise treats."
...We have stayed in quite a lot of cottages and this one is lovely.. The communication from the owner Jeff was very good. We would not hesitate staying here again next time we are coming to this area.. So much to see locally...
-
"We had a wonderful time at your beautiful cottage,home from home and very relaxing, everything we needed and more, very kind thought with the welcome pack , a most enjoyable stay, hope to come back soon ."
-
"Highbury Cottage is a little 'home from home oasis' in a rural setting not far from Shrewsbury."
The surrounding countryside is lovely with lots of bridle paths and walks. Highbury's host Geoff was on hand when needed and the cottage is a little 'tardis' which has every home comfort you could possibly wish for, it actually feels like home from home and I would recommend Highbury Cottage as excellent value and definitely return.
-
"We have just enjoyed a week in Highbury Cottage and very much hope to return next year."
The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable and equipped with everything that we needed, certainly one of the best we've stayed in.
-
"We had a nice week away in this comfortable and cosy cottage."
Most things you could need are available and well layed out. Our host Jeff is a nice friendly gentleman, with whom nothing seems to be to much trouble. This was our 2nd stay, and we had some nice days out without having to travel too far, with enough still to do for next time. The cottage is reasonably easy to find, and even though it is in a rural location it is only 10mins travelling time from the lovely town of Shrewsbury.
-
"Cannot recommend this holiday cottage enough, would gladly go back!"
!!!
-
"Highbury Cottage was delightful, well presented, very clean and very comfortable."
Definitely somewhere I would stay again. The owner was friendly and accommodating.
-
"Only 3 for comfort as the bed needs a new mattress"
Sorry to learn this...I generally ask guests to let me know of any issues prior to their departure....I will check this and if necessary source a replacement Property Owner
-
"THIRD time staying here because it is clean, well-equipped and comfortable and there's lots to do around the area."
Really quiet and rural but close enough to Shrewsbury for the essentials.
-
"Once again we had a very peaceful visit to Highbury Cottage."
The owner was both sociable and helpful. The cottage is very comfortable and really suited our needs. Thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"Excellent accommodation everything you could want from utensils in the kitchen to comfortable chairs and bed."
The owner showed us how to alter the heating to make it nice and cosy. Highly recommend
-
"Nice Cottage, Great Host, Looking Forward to our next stay."
-
"This was our second stay at Highbury Cottage."
We love everything about it, including the discreetly helpful owner, Jeff. It’s in a beautiful location, perfect for exploring Shropshire.
-
"A friendly welcome by the owner who lives next door."
The property is everything you could wish for I can’t think of anything you could possibly require that wasn’t already provided. A welcome pack was provided , very welcome indeed. We didn’t see the owner again until we left, but we knew if we had a problem we had only to knock his door. A lovely place to stay.
-
"Very helpful owner and most friendly."
Ideally situated and the view as you near the cottage is quite something. This was our second visit and would certainly return. One of the best if not the best cottage we have holidayed in.
-
"We had a wonderful time at Highbury Cottage, two weeks of peace and quiet."
The cottage is in a wonderful rural area just outside Shrewsbury with good access to all major roads to visit places and attractions. The cottage contains everything you would need for your stay and the owner, Jeff, is on hand should you require anything, attentive but not obtrusive, we had some great chats and laughs with Jeff who sends out a welcome pack of information by email before you arrive, excellent idea. Little gifts left for your arrival complete the experience, all was good at Highbury.
-
"Very nice and comfortable cottage one of the best we have stayed in, would highly recommend to any couple wanting a peaceful holiday but in easy reach of a town with lots of attractions locally, had a lovely river trip with Sabrina boats."
Would book again if coming to the area. 5* property.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Highbury Cottage and it is now on our list of favourites for a future visit."
Everything we needed and more was provided. A peaceful rural setting and a pleasure to come home to after long days trekking the local geocaching circuits. If there is anything extra you need to enhance your stay then Jeff's the man to sort it for you.
-
"Lovely clean cottage."
All the facilities you need for a holiday. Very friendly owner and very helpful got us out of a muddle when we got lost and had to phone him up also knowledgeable about different places to visit. Nice little garden to sit in a catch the evening sun
-
"Highbury Cottage was a super place to stay with everything we needed including a wonderful welcome pack."
It was ideal for my husband who has some mobility issues - all on the level except for a very small step between the breakfast room and lounge. Jeff, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend this lovely cottage in the countryside as a marvellous place from which to explore the area around Shrewsbury.
-
"We liked this holiday cottage very much."
It was very clean, well furnished, and the decor made it like a home from home. The guests garden was just the right size for two of us,a really sunny spot. Jeff the owner was so welcoming and friendly, which was nice, as sometimes you never see the owner.. the welcome pack was good,included fresh fruit,a nice touch..very quiet area. The business next door was so quiet, you never noticed it...highly recommend this cottage.
-
"We had a lovely time at the cottage."
Very well equipped, clean and comfortable. In a peaceful location but easy to reach Shrewsbury and other attractions. Would return again.
-
"Highbury Cottage is even better than the listing suggests."
The location is perfect for exploring Shropshire and the views are amazing. It is so peaceful.
-
"This was our second stay at Highbury Cottage and was even better than the first time - good weather and having our bearings for shops and P+R."
We think you should add to the listing the idea that it is quiet and peaceful. The locals are very welcoming, especially the horse riders and cyclists. It was a lovely stay!!
-
"We had a lovely stay at Highbury Cottage."
It was really cosy and we appreciated all the little extra touches, soap, tea & coffee as well as fruit, that were left for us. The owners were very kind. We discovered the field walk on the opposite side of the road and made friends with the horse in the first field. Thank you so much for a really peaceful stay.
-
"Our third time at Highbury Cottage, just right for us, Jeff the owner is so friendly and helpful, we look forward to our next stay."
-
"This was our second visit to this lovely quiet cottage and meeting up with the owner again."
I would like to think that we will return for a third time some time in the future.
-
"It was apparent that thought and care had been taken to make visitors as comfortable as possible in Highbury Cottage."
It was certainly the best equipped place I've ever stayed in. Sending out the 'welcome pack' in advance made it easier to acclimatise to both the cottage and the area, and the fact that the owner was nearby and always prepared to help or advise proved to be a bonus. The cottage had the huge advantage of being situated in a quiet country area while being within easy reach of Shrewsbury in order to access bus and train networks, but it was also central enough that a great many places of interest could also be reached by car. I would have no hesitation in staying there again as well as recommending it to others.
-
"Very clean comfortable cottage with a great welcome pack and everything we needed, with a nice little garden with table chairs and umbrella , the ownerJeff was very helpful and friendly , highly recommend."
-
"Highbury cottage is a beautiful place to stay its spotlessly clean and Jeff the owner was so lovely he had left us lots of goodies like fruit which he had left a note saying it had been washed and was ready to eat, he left us a mixture of foods , cereals coffee tea sugar milk etc , you could tell a deep clean had been done and the bedding and towels were all beautiful."
The cottage was in a lovely area with lots of lovely little roads to have walks and there is a nice private sitting out area at the back of the cottage. Jeff was very helpful and friendly we felt very much at home at Highbury cottage and we will be definitely having another holiday there.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Nice private garden. One of the cleanest cottages we have stayed in. Jeff the owner is helpful if needed but not intrusive. Walks straight from the cottage
-
"Best holiday let we have had, host very good and nothing too much trouble."
Only problem, the roads are terrible!! (suppose no different to all over the country) did loose a tyre on a visit to my son who lives in area, the hole was like a sink hole they mark some of the holes with paint WHY NOT fill them
-
"Cosy, detached cottage with excellent facilities in a rural location."
Lovely little private garden with table and chairs. Parking on the drive outside the cottage. Quality linen, pots and pans and good wifi. Jeff the owner is a very welcoming, accommodating host who provided lots of little extras for visitors. He also let us use a garage to safely store our bicycles. We really enjoyed our stay and the great cycling lanes on the doorstop. Easy cycling route along the old canal into Shrewsbury, which is a delightful town with lots of interesting shops and buildings.
-
"Second visit to this cottage."
Everything you could need was provided as well as some lovely extras. Very clean and comfortable. Jeff, the owner, sent information before our stay and was on hand if we needed him without being intrusive. Will be going again.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Highbury Cottage."
It is an ideal base for visiting the attractions of Shropshire. Would highly recommend.
-
"We found this to be a cosy, comfortable cottage in a quiet rural setting - really nice to have a separate kitchen, dining room and sitting room."
Also the kitchen was well stocked with pans in good condition and cooking knives which are actually sharp as well as a good amount of crockery. Another plus point is having a bath as well as a shower in the property. The cottage also had its own private garden which was a real suntrap - complete with table, chairs & parasol. The owner was most helpful and friendly and emailed all the instructions to us in advance of our arrival - so nice to be able to reach one's holiday home after a long journey and not have to work through a book of instructions before being able to make a cup of tea because we had already had the opportunity to read this information. We were attracted to this specific cottage because of the reviews it received especially the compassionate treatment from the owner for a couple who had to cancel at short notice. If we were to holiday in this area again, we would certainly wish to rebook this cottage.
-
"Excellent cottage with everything you could possibly need provided even a welcome food pack all you need to bring are your clothes, that's it ."
Very cosy and warm and quiet just 8 miles from Shrewsbury. Will definitely stay there again
-
"This is a rather unusual review as we didn't actually manage to visit the cottage as we were forced to cancel at the last minute due to tragic family circumstances."
However the courtesy and understanding shown to me by the property owner was a refreshing change in this often self interested world. I look forward to rebooking in the future and being able to thank him in person.
-
"Jeff was a good host."
The cottage was well equipped. Lovely to have some essential food items.
-
"The location is excellent - near enough to Shrewsbury yet not that far away from the bustle of a lively town."
The cottage is set in a beautiful part of the countryside, very quiet and with the added value of a private little garden. Inside, the cottage itself was ideal for two, and clearly great care had (successfully) been taken to ensure that both practical and aesthetic needs of guests would be met. We had an absolutely lovely, relaxing time here and would recommend it without hesitation.
-
"A great host the cottage was very clean ,Jeff was very helpful in every way while keeping at a safe distance from us , the cottage was in very quiet location ,but was in easy reach of all major super markets."
We will be booking this cottage again.
-

Great accommodation in a nice rural location with lots of places to visit in the region. We aim to book up again in 2020.
-
"We liked this cottage so much I have just booked again for the 24th October 2020 for a week."
The owner was most helpful to us.
-
"A beautiful cosy cottage which was beautifully decorated, giving it a very homely feeling."
It had everything that we needed for our short stay. Attention to detail was outstanding, right down to the non slip mat in the shower. Jeff too was very welcoming. We loved the quiet country setting, and always took the winding back roads out on our trips, though a more direct route is also available. Perfectly positioned for trips to Ironbridge, Shrewsbury, and even Wales with Chrick Castle and Powis Castle.
-
"This cottage is the best we have ever booked."
It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. A welcome pack included cereals, bread, milk, tea and coffee etc; a lovely touch. In a very quiet location, the owner lives next door and is on hand should anything be needed. A wonderful little find!
-

Lovely welcome pack. Peaceful and lots of nearby places of interest to visit. Cottage had everything we needed including our own private garden!

"The owner Jeff was very friendly and very helpful, we were greeted and supplied with all the essentials and more for our first nights arrival."
The countryside around the cottage is remote but beautiful and well worth the drive to see pretty villages, wildlife and the landscape. Thank you Jeff, we aim to return in the autumn and again in the future. Terry Bane - Norfolk

"We have just returned after a weeks holiday in Highbury Cottage Shrewsbury."
When we arrived at the cottage we received a very warm welcome from Jeff the owner. "Highbury cottage" is absolutely lovely, warm and cosy very well equipped with everything you need and immaculate. Jeff had provided a "Welcome pack" which was very much appreciated. A real home from home. A lovely small private garden, for long summer evenings. It is so quiet, a short drive to the local pubs, many places of interest and Shrewsbury itself. It was our first visit to Shropshire and certainly won't be our last. We would not hesitate to stay at "Highbury cottage" on our return. Jeff was most helpful and gave us lots of information on places to visit.
-
"Highbury Cottage was an absolute dream of a place to stay for two adults."
The proiperty was exceptionally clean and Jeff the owner, so very polite and obliging. I come to Shrewsbury every now and then to see family and as a result of our stay, I will in future stay at highbury Cottage. All in all 10 out of 10.
