"Quaint cottage in lovely surroundings."
Clean and quite comfortable. Kitchen supplies basic but adequate. Couple of minor issues on arrival ( owners not at fault)quickly remedied by the very friendly Julie. Sofa and chair new and more modern not as in photos. The fixed shower screen would mean a squeeze into the shower if on the large side. Plenty of wood and supplies for the wood burner and, if the weather had been better, a lovely area to sit outside with a fire pit. We were made very welcome by the owners. We were there for a 3 nt break and found it easy to get to Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth and Buildwas Abbey.

"Amazing place to stay, beautiful inside and out, the garden could be closed off so dogs can room while relaxing, but it’s to open for me, the back yard is closed off but the front should be too, as that’s where the bbq, and open fire pit is, but apart from that I have no complaints, Stuart and Julie are friendly and very helpful, would definitely go back."

"Apart from someone sorting out the key when we arrived (don’t know who she was never introduced herself."
) never saw a soul all week. No welcome from anyone, no welcome pack, no tourist information brochures, no logs. Furniture was not as published the Sykes brochure and living room decor could do with some TLC. Shower opening is very small if you are a larger person you may not be able to use it. Cottage its self is lovely and was very clean, a lovely area beds were very comfortable.
Hi and thank you for your feedback. We were on our holiday during your stay so it would have been my daughter who met you. We do generally leave our guests to their own privacy, but always available if needed either in person or via messaging. There are lots of local leaflets in the property about the areas attractions etc. logs are not supplied during the hotter weather as not needed. Am aware of the scuff marks on the wall and this will be redecorated very soon. Pleased to hear that the beds are comfortable and that the cottage is lovely. Hope to see you again. Stuart & Julie Property Owner

"Perfect cottage for our stay."
And we entertained our local family several times as well. We paid the extra $10 per week for endless firewood and had a fire most nights. Great host and great place. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, was fab to meet you and wish you a safe journey home. Stuart & Julie Property Owner

"Most places give a welcome but not here."
Had to ask for the fire wood kit which was dropped outside with hardly any kindling ,no paper or fire lighters. The cutlery and crockery were the bare minimum which meant you had to constantly wash dishes also no paper towels in kitchen Overall disappointing by the lack of attention to the little things. This may be due to the property being up for sale and therefore a loss of interest by the owners
Many thanks for your feedback, I will check on the cutlery situation as there is normally plenty. Apologies if the supply of fire wood etc did not meet with your expectations however as the weather was so hot and you requesting a fan we did not think you needed wood for the log burner assumed it was for the fire pit! However it was lovely to have met you and Doug enjoyed your cuddles and kisses! Property Owner

"Lovely setting, would love to live there."

"Access difficult as drive was gated and had a single track road leading to the property."
On arrival met a car coming down track and had to reverse back onto road. No welcome pack awaiting us ( always had this with other bookings).
-
"Would have liked to give it 5 stars, but a few thing could be done."
Entrance with the key boxes, very hard to see, needs a sign above. No coat hangers in wardrobe, no welcome hamper. All other Sykes Cottages provide this. No wood for the fire pit. Dogs walks were lovely, cottage was very comfortable and clean,Netflix was a bonus, so would recommend
-
"Lovely week at Strine View Cottage - second stay there."
Cottage was great as was surrounding Shropshire countryside. Sunshine was an added bonus and our dog definitely enjoyed himself there. Came back as grandparents also which rounded things off nicely!

"Nowhere near clean enough,shower was dreadful,But it was quiet"
-
"The cottage is in a superb location for exploring Shropshire."
Down a private road it’s very peaceful and picturesque. Everything that you would need for a pleasant and comfortable stay. Some great walks both on the owner’s land and outside the main gates. Whilst I appreciate the cottage has been lovingly restored and also surrounded by farmland it could do with a de cob webbing but apart from this the property was clean and tidy. We had some great days out in Telford, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Newport is a great little town to explore. Overall the weather was kind and we thoroughly enjoyed our week
-

"Good location, owners very friendly and helpful."
Well equipped, had a nice 2 week stay. Great that it is very dog friendly. We could have done with a table on the outside patio/rear area. But otherwise all perfect!
-
"We had a very enjoyable stay at Strine View Cottage, as everyone who has already stayed there commented."
The only comment we can make is that we never got a text telling us where the key was. However the owner's daughter was very helpful sorting this out. Would certainly recommend this cottage, attention to detail both in decoration, cleanliness,and friendliness by the owners.

"Strine view it’s a lovely cottage set in a peaceful location with great facilities."
On our stay we particularly enjoyed Sitting outside with the fire pit in the evenings, Great place to explore with English Heritage and National Trust sites within 20 minutes of the property. The owners of Strine view could not do enough for you. We would highly recommend!
-
"Amazing cottage."
Lovely location. Owner very friendly and helpful. Great place to take your pet dog.
-
"Really dog friendly, owners let you use their 7 acres to walk your dog."
The owner even made the effort to mow the edges of the fields. Such a great place fully equipped with very helpful friendly owners who were on hand if needed.
-
"Had a great time, cottage was a bit cold when we arrived but the log fire warmed it nicely once we got it lit."
Also some brochures on places of interest would have helped. Highly recommend the local butcher, best sausage and steak I've had. Would come to this cottage again.
-
"A brilliant few days away, Julie and Stuart made us feel very welcome and even got the log burner going for us on our first night."
I was just what we needed.
-
"The cottage was beautifully appointed, a real labour of love!"
It was very comfortable and clean, in a charming, peaceful location on the owner's farm in the beautiful Shropshire countryside. It was conveniently close to amenities and also walking routes. We had a lovely, relaxed and peaceful few days and we'll definitely be back! My dog loved our early morning wanders up the lane. Thank you to our friendly and helpful hosts especially when my car tyres needed checking!

"We were very happy with the degree of assurance you were able to give us about your Covid precautions."
-
"Spacious and wonderful cottage!"
Asked for earlier check in and owners were very responsive and kind! Highly recommended!!
-
"The Sat Nav using the postcode doesn’t take you to the property which can be a little confusing especially when you arrive in the dark and are looking for it but upon (finally) arriving you aren’t disappointed."
The property is very secure. You’ve a track to drive down but once you reach the buildings all you can say is wow. When we walked into ours and seen the open view bedroom and grand fireplace we settled in with the log fire burning. Stunning home with lots of character. The beds are really comfortable. The gap between the shower and wall is a little narrow for bigger people like myself but I managed to squeeze passed and enjoyed a lovely power shower. Would absolutely recommend and would return again. Thank you x
-
"Good base for exploring the surrounding area, plenty to do for all ages."
Cottage in nice secluded spot. Many thanks
-
"Yes please."
We really liked the cottage,although we weren't impressed by the lack of supplies there when we arrived. By this l mean- No toilet rolls,no kitchen roll,no dishwasher tablets,very little washing-up liquid and very little handwash liquid in the kitchen,and one spare bin liner for the kitchen bin! We were also a towel short,which apparently the cleaner had noted earlier. The owner soon provided us with that,along with one(!) toilet roll-there were four of us staying there! I felt awkward having to ask for the extra towel and a toilet roll as soon as we had arrived,but the cottage is not exactly close to a shop! As we have previously stayed in one of your properties with everything left fully stocked,we hadn't brought much with us. Were we just lucky last time,or just unlucky this time? Needless to say we could have brought these items from home,if we had known the situation. Perhaps someone there would be good enough to send a reply in case we want to book another holiday through yourselves in the future? Thanking you in advance.

"Just returned from a very relaxing break."
. after moving house we needed some family chill time and this cottage just hit the spot. Very quirky little cottage clean and comfy.. we loved the log burner and my husband enjoyed waching the night skies whilst sitting around the outdoor fire pit. We had custard the pony to greet us every morning and a little pug from the owner that would visit which my daughter loved.. our dog was also happy as we had lovely walks with him.. a gated farm so we all felt safe.. the owners house was lite up at night with fairy lights which looked stunning. . Very friendly owners gave us logs for the fire pit and greeted us.. although we had a very private place to ourselves.. came back all refreshed thank you ..will be back!!!

"Although the weather wasn't very good we enjoyed the peace and quiet and the wood stove was the best thing we could have had."

Be aware there is no mobile phone signal at the cottage, calls have to be made when out and about. This aside, we could not fault the property.

"Mr and Mrs Parker were brill my 8 year old son was ill one day and they were very great with us and helped us out."
The cottage was amazing and provided everything you would need and a washing machine was fantastic as it was well needed on our wet muddy days! Great facilities, fantastic owners would highly recommend. It was very easy to book through sykes too.
-
"A lovely cottage in a beautiful quiet location."
Lots of attractions to see in the area. Wi-fi pretty non existent so don't feel this property should be advertised as having wi-fi. Wasn't a huge problem but hampered us in our research for finding dog friendly places to visit.
