"Thanks for a lovely stay."
Welcoming biscuits and message, everything we needed and tastefully decorated.
-
"We hope to return to Pippin's Place as it was perfect for our trip to Shrewsbury and the surrounding area."
We loved the convenience of the allocated parking, the cleanliness and overall comfort of the accommodation and the proximity of the property to the facilities of the town. The property is in a quiet area and had a good range of garden furniture with a BBQ, which would be a bonus in good weather.

"We loved Pippins."
The owners have everything right to make a very comfortable, relaxing holiday house. Exceptionally clean, not cluttered and very nicely furnished, decorated and equipped. Definitely walking distance into lovely Shrewsbury, we did it a few times. Very handy for the railway station as well. We had an excellent stay, thank you.

"Lovely cottage in a very quiet street close to the centre of Shrewsbury."
-
"Wonderful well equipped comfortable house with a lovely welcome pack."
Close to the town centre and bus and train station which made getting around the area very easy. We had a couple of niggly problems which were dealt with immediately by Nikki and Jay from the service company who did a great job and were very supportive
-
"We stayed for a weekend in Shrewsbury."
The house is a 9 minute walk from the station and around 17 minutes from the furthest point in town. On a very nice and incredibly quiet estate. The house was super clean and a pleasant and perfect place to stay. Small garden a boon on a sunny day.
-
"A very clean and welcoming holiday home The hosts left the essentials for us plus biscuits and hot drinks a very nice touch."
Very easy to get to town and restaurants etc… a very enjoyable short stay thank you
-
"If you like fresh and clean this is the one for you."
Close to Shrewsbury......a walk guide to local shop / Shrewsbury would help. Front step large drop and mat at front door needs a gripper. Bed extremely comfortable/ all items in working order. Directions on recycling would help too. Nice clean comfy accommodation thankyou

"This was the second time we stayed at Pippin's place whilst visiting Shrewsbury."
For two adults and a small dog it was ideal. The bed was comfortable, bathroom clean and sufficient, kitchen was fine considering we ate out most days, the living room was also comfortable and the garden was a good size for sitting in with the dog. The estate itself is surprisingly quiet with a safe footpath leading all the way into town itself in 15 minutes or so. We enjoyed our stay and would probably book this property anytime we visit Shrewsbury.
-
"Great location on a quiet private housing estate well away from main roads."
House very comfortable and extremely clean with a lovely selection of biscuits thank you. Tea and coffee also supplied. Beds, bedding and sofa are all we could have wished for. Loopfest was well enjoyed during the bank holiday weekend and we were lucky enough to have the weather to use the BBQ. Garden due to be tidied up soon. Great to have parking outside the front door. Excellent service from the management couple. We will be back.

"2 things that could be added: Shaver charging point in bathroom & a large towel rail in bathroom."
Other than that, the property is great as is the location close enough to walk into Shrewsbury. Really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend.
-
"Very nice and clean cottage, well maintained, at walking distance from city centre shops and restaurants."
Fully recommend this place, we had a lovely stay
-
"Appreciated the information about places to visit, especially the little book of walks around Shrewsbury."
Bins were provided for recycling but there was no information about what could be recycled, as this has been different wherever we’ve been we were unable to recycle effectively. Also the day the bin men came was listed differently in the key collection information and the in house booklet. We found the house very clean and comfortable however. Thank you.
-
"Fabulous little house, in a perfect location to visit Shrewsbury."
15 minute walk takes you into town. The castle is lovely and in the town centre, very quiet in the grounds. Beds very comfy, and has 2 safety gates to help stop the dog from popping upstairs. Outside courtyard very secure and ideal if you have a pet.
-
"Second visit as good as the first."
WiFi details need updating on card and Information Book. More information as to what goes in where regarding household waste and re-cycling. TripAdvisor gave bad ratings for Bamboo House and The Telegraph Vaults, spoke to locals and they recommended them. We found them both very good.
-
"We love Pippins Place and have already rebooted."
The standard of cleaning is most impressive.
-
"Nice property,clean and tidy, lovely beds, bath a bit difficult to enter due to fixed shower screen,squeaky floors on 1st floor."
Great location near to Shrewsbury easy to walk into town. Own parking space which makes it easy to load and unload from car. Would book property again if visiting Shrewsbury.
Thank you for letting us know about the shower screen. It is very stiff due to the rubber along the bottom, but we will investigate to see what we can do to make it easier to move. Property Owner

"A lovely holiday place for the two of us but I can't imagine how a family could cope in this space."
-
"We enjoyed our stay at Pippins Place - it was a very quiet location, in easy walking distance to the town, and we had a comfortable stay."
I tried to use the oven one day, but couldn't get it to work, and there were no instructions (and the plate in the oven was too worn to read the model number, so I couldn't look it up) - so that was a bit disappointing. Also the automatic ignition for the gas hob didn't work, so we had to use matches, which was a nuisance. Having said all that, we had a good holiday and I would be happy to stay again if we ever return to Shrewsbury.
Many thanks for your feedback. Laminated instructions for the oven are now at the property for future guest bookings. Property Owner

"Absolutely loved staying at Pippins Place."
So comfortable, homely, well equipped. Beds were so comfortable. Decor lovely. Easy access to town. Brilliant local pub and eatery…The Dolphin and Press De Cuba Ltd Lovely staff at both and all under one roof. We will be back!
-
"Pippins Place is a great holiday home."
The house itself has the twin blessing of parking and an easy walk into Shrewsbury. We loved the cosiness of the house, comfortable beds, and the enclosed garden which was perfect for our dog.
-
"Great location for walking into town."
Very comfortable and clean with everything needed. It was also very quiet. The garden front and back does need attention which didnt bother us as it was winter but in summer would have been disappointing. Overall we would stay here again.
Many thanks for your feedback. We have now employed the services of a gardener to ensure that the outdoor spaces match the interior. Property Owner

"Very good accommodation."
Location is excellent with Shewsbury just a 15 minute walk.
-
"Parked the car then never moved it all week."
Everything we wanted was within easy walking distance. Can thoroughly recommend The Dog and Pheasant pub. Good beer and very friendly, well used by the locals but does not do food.
-
"The property is very well located and well presented with the exception of the garden which would benefit from some attention."
Nowhere on the exterior of the property has the name only a number.
-
"This is a fantastic place to stay while in Shrewsbury."
It’s close to town but also very quiet, so a perfect mix. We had a minor issue and contacted the Management company, they arrived very quickly and resolved the issue rapidly and were very friendly and helpful. Over all l cannot recommend this property highly enough
-
"Immaculate and comfortable."
Very well equipped. Peaceful and private despite being terraced and in an estate. Very safe for our dog and for children. Good WiFi and TV too. Had a slight problem initially with the key safe but this was dealt with within minutes by management company who were friendly and very helpful. Owner also responded very quickly. Would highly recommend as a family base for activities in and around Shrewsbury. A 10 to 20 minute walk from the town centre Huge amount of supermarkets and food establishments within easy driving distance (Walkable for some)
-
"Faultless property."
-
"What a fabulous home this is, super king bed , lovely bedding and just a perfect house within minutes of the station and town."
We went to Liverpool for 2 nights in the middle of our stay and it was just so easy. The neighbours were extremely quiet as were we. Town is 10 minutes with so many eateries and pubs. We will definitely be booking again as this is a lovely house and if you want to travel further then you can just jump on the train to either Chester or Liverpool.

The property
Tucked away within a sought-after cul-de-sac in the heart of the historic town of Shrewsbury, rests this wonderful mid-terrace holiday home, Pippin's Place.
Enjoying close proximity to a wealth of exciting sights and attractions, along with the rolling countryside of the Shropshire Hills AONB, Pippin's Place is perfectly situated for both families and friends seeking a memorable getaway.
Park up in the off-road parking space provided at the foot of this lovely dwelling before unloading your belongings and taking in the delightful setting of your holiday home before heading inside to begin your staycation.
Remove any coats and shoes as you step onto the hard wood floor of the welcoming entrance hallway before moving through to the open-plan living/dining room where you can look forward to snuggling up with a family-favourite playing on the TV of an evening.
When stomachs start to rumble, discover the well-designed kitchen, beautifully-appointed with a contemporary grey décor and equipped with a range of amenities, including a handy washer/dryer and dishwasher to help keep your space neat and tidy.
Whip up a delicious meal and gather together with your loved ones at the dining table, or if you're travelling in the warmer months, venture outdoors to your private garden and fire up the barbeque.
As the skies grow darker, retreat indoors, and climb the stairs to the first floor to prepare for bed with an indulgent soak amongst the bubbles in the tub, or if you'd prefer, enjoy a quick rinse under the shower head.
Catch your rest in one of two sumptuous bedrooms, with the choice between a super-king-size, offering a TV and a zip/link feature for flexible sleeping arrangements, or a double.
If you don't fancy cooking one evening, take the short stroll to reach the centre of Shrewsbury and treat your loved ones to a delicious meal at one of the many eateries on offer; tuck-in to a hearty meal amongst the warmth of an open fire at the Royalist Restaurant, or add a touch of luxury to your stay with a meal prepared by a Michelin star chef at The Walrus Restaurant.
For a unique experience, head to Shrewsbury Prison and take the guided tour through the cells of the 18th century jail or discover the sandstone architecture of Shrewsbury Castle and its Shropshire Regimental Museum.
For a more leisurely experience, soak in the sites aboard a river cruise, or lose yourself amongst the spectacular landscapes of the Shropshire Hills.
Be sure to visit the town of Telford, where you can take the little ones to meet the animals at the Exotic Zoo, work up a sweat at the Inflata Nation Inflatable Theme Park, or treat yourself to a spot of retail therapy at Telford Centre.
Take advantage of your close proximity to the border of Wales and head to the nearby towns of Welshpool and Montgomery, or venture further afield and enjoy a costal retreat in Barmouth or Aberystwyth.
Make memories that will last a lifetime with a stay at Pippin's Place.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
