• "Just perfect."

  ...loved everything about this cottage. Sensitive and tasteful restoration of a historic building but with modern touches - lovely shower room, underfloor heating was a real bonus and the hot tub fantastic for the end of day wind-down. The location was brilliant...so quiet with only the sound of cows and birds audible, good walks straight from the door and a feeling of being very remote but with plenty of villages and small towns to explore nearby. The weather was kind, no rain for the whole week and we even had lunch in the garden in the November sunshine......watched by the cows! Highly recommend and hope to return.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had a great day and made the most of the location. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

  Clean, well equipped. Loved the hottub. Just a note that this place is very very rural. Roads are unmade in places. And difficult if you meet another vehicle coming in opposite direction , with little passing places ! But as it’s this rural it’s very quiet.

  Thank you for your feedback. we are so pleased you enjoyed The Shooting Folly and the hot tub! Yes the rural roads can be tricky to pass at times, but we hope to welcome you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

  The Folly is truly marvellous and so beautifully equipped. Loved the hot tub and great to have towels provided for it. The cows added plenty of entertainment and other wildlife was in abundance. Lovely walking in the area with a couple of pubs offering excellent food enroute to the canal. A very memorable break. All dealings with Sykes were very easy and Stephen was a very thoughtful owner.

• "Truly exceptional property, we described it to friends today as ‘5 star plus, plus’."

  Everything from the basics like loo rolls and dish clothes, little extras like chocs on the bed and fresh eggs & local biscuits was done with care, quality, and attention to detail. The Christmas tree and decorations was a particularly lovely welcome with the fire going and underfloor heating on when we arrived after a long drive through ice and snow made it even more welcoming and special. The finish on the property was excellent, bed was extremely comfy, lovely quality bed linen - and ooooh the hot tub was heavenly!! It is obvious the renovation of the Shooting Folly was a real labour of love. The kitchen is very well equipped and laid out in such a way that cooking was as intuitive as if we were at home. Our hosts were warm and welcoming, the dairy cows were charming neighbours. The rural location enabled us to really get away from it all and properly unwind, relax and recharge. It was lovely to have a tour of the farm too, thank you. The Shooting Folly is conveniently located for Ironbridge and Shrewsbury, we were also delighted to explore the local towns and villages. We are likely to return in the very near future and try the hot tub when there isn’t frost or snow- we can’t wait!

  Thank you for your wonderful feedback. It sounds like you had a perfect stay. We hope we can welcome you back again so you can enjoy the hot tub in the warmer weather. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

• "The Shooting Folley is certainly a very unique property set in the most rural of locations."

  If you're looking for a place to get away from it all and be able to totally relax then this is worth considering. We found the property very well equipped with everything you could need with the hot tub adding the icing to the cake. The owner Stephen, who lives on the adjacent farm, was also very friendly and accommodating. If you like walking there are several good local walks that can be navigated straight from the cottage, although we would recommend wearing decent boots and trousers as we found some parts of the walks overgrown and a little difficult to follow. Apart from walking there are several interesting places to visit in the area that are not too far away, with Ironbridge, Shrewsbury and Stoke all be very well worth a visit. The pubs and restaurants in the area are good, were particularly impressed with the Gastro Pub 'The Swan with Two Necks'. Living in Norfolk we are used to rural, but found this part of Shropshire to be on a different level. To sit on the patio or in the hot tub surrounded by cow fields (literally) in complete piece and quiet with just birds and the occasional cow 'mooing' was a wonderful experience and one we will long remember. Many thanks Stephen and Sykes Cottages.

  Thank you very much for your glowing feedback. We are so glad that you were happy with the property and the quiet rural location, and you made good use of the hot tub. Thank you for the recommendations for the walks and the local pub. We hope to welcome you back to the property again in order to revisit your happy memories. Property Owner

• "What a fantastic place to stay."

  The location and tranquility was just what was required. Yes its snug but its still amazing place to stay. Steve and Tracy have done an amazing restoration and have thought of everything. The underfloor heating was a god send when coming from the hot tub and when it really cold it will be amazing. The Folly is well equipped and well thought out. The hot tub cover is a manual lift and is quite heavy to remove. The only thing that would make it a better stay would be a bigger fridge and especially one that the door open the opposite way, it was a bit awkward getting around the table to get in the fridge. But would but highly recommend this for a stay. Will miss the calves in the field behind, they were very entertaining, just wish we had taken more suitable footwear and it could have been possible to have a tour of the farm and see the cows being milked. The fresh milk and farm eggs were a lovely touch, had forgotten how nice fresh milk is. Well worth a stay and we would return.

  Thank you for your lovely comments and we're delighted you enjoyed a tranquil stay at The Shooting Folly. We hope to welcome you again when you may have the opportunity to have a tour of the farm and enjoy more fresh milk and farm eggs! Property Owner

  its very secluded and generally we didn't leave the cottage / hot tub and it was fabulous!! lovely place, nothing around and that's what we were looking for, only thing i will say is if you dont like spiders you'll either have heart attack or get over your fears

• "Really beautiful restored cottage, excellent facilities."

  Lovely, helpful owners. Peaceful, relaxing, completely private except for a few cows and great location for walking. They had thought of everything and more, plus little extras. It was far better than we'd expected, we had a great time and want to thank Steve and Tracey for such a great holiday and for their hospitality. Thank you Helen & Dave Wirral

The folly is cosy, clean and very well equipped. The hot tub a welcome luxury after a day exploring on our bikes. We will definitely be returning for our anniversary.

  The thought that has gone into every part of the Folly is evident everywhere. Small but perfectly formed, everything has been thought of. It is comfortable, well equipped and the perfect place to get away from it all. The addition of the hot tub is excellent and a perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet. If you want somewhere that is quirky, comfortable and the perfect escape, then you don't need to look any further than here. We will definitely be returning.

• "We have just spent a long weekend at The Shooting Folly in Shropshire."

  I just wanted to say how lovely the property is - warm and cosy and very, very cute. The owners made us feel very welcome (fresh eggs in a basket) and even popped in to turn up the heating when we were out! Highly recommended and an excellent addition to your properties.

  It has rekindled our hobbies of sketching and writing. Beautiful countryside, beautiful folly.

• "Perfect way to spend our long weekend and celebrate our engagement."

  Mr & Mrs Clark

• "Had a wonderful 4 days at the Folly - we found it to have everything we needed, the snug was perfect on a cold winter evening (and the underfloor heating meant the wood burner was a treat rather than a necessity and feet stayed warm even without slippers!"

  ) We found lots to do in the surrounding area (car needed though), the owners were very friendly and welcoming, and the farm tour was a real treat. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

  The Shooting Folly was as beautiful as it looked. It was perfect for a lovely few days of peace and quiet. The owner was lovely and everything was as it looked from your description....and more. We had a lovely time and will hopefully book with you again at some point in the future. Just wanted to thank you for your help in sorting this out for me at very short notice. Really appreciate it.

  The Shooting Folly was a perfect place for this. Peace and quiet all around us, a wood burning stove and a hot tub! Who could ask for more?!? The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of areas to hike. We had such a wonderful time we're already planning another visit.

  Great that there is no Wifi - no distractions from the outside world. Sorry to leave the peace and quiet - would love to come back.

  It is conveniently and thoughtfully laid out. We were able to make meals, relax in comfort, sit outside, sleep well. And it is well away from the noise and hubbub of our usual life. Many thanks.

• "My wife and I visited The Shooting Folly hoping for a tranquil break and it didn't fail to deliver!"

  With beautiful country views and dozens of lovely walks on the doorstep it was just what we needed and, after a long walk, the hot tub was most welcome! The property has been amazingly restored to a very high standard. We certainly intend to return.

• "Well what can I say."

  ..this place is like no other... we had such a lovely time and in the area in general but its the folly that`s the star of the show. Its everything and more that the brochure describes... cosy ,quaint, beautiful well equipped. The hot tub is to die for. If you live in the city you will never hear perfect quiet... you will here. We have re-booked to come back in September '17 and will probably come back again after that.

• "This is a beautifully restored building set in the middle of nowhere."

  Excellent kitchen facilities meant we had no need to leave! The snug with wood burner made for a cosy room. The hot tub offered great views in the day and lights at night. A great place for a romantic break and to recharge the batteries!

• "We came here for a few days after our wedding for a "mini-moon"."

  It was ridiculously cute, peaceful, and luxurious. The owners were friendly and popped in to see us and to check on the tub, but mostly they let us get on with it, which was great. It is a lovely quirky cottage - tiny but perfect for two. Just be careful not to bang your head on the low beams upstairs! Everything you could possibly need was catered for: the kitchen was brilliantly stocked with equipment, there were brollies, blankets, films... and of course the hot tub! It was so cosy and tranquil. It's really in the middle of nowhere with cows for company and fields all around. Recommend bringing plenty of food supplies - we got a breakfast hamper provided by the owners which was filled with goodies (although a little on the pricey side). There are some lovely walks in the local area too. I couldn't recommend it enough! We will be back. :-)

• "We have just returned from a surprise 50th birthday treat my husband booked for me."

  I have to say I am very impressed, he could not have found a more perfect place to have a chill out weekend to celebrate. The cottage is delightful with glorious views from all sides. It iss fully equipped for your every need but the icing on the cake has to be the hot tub. We were lucky enough on the 1st night to have clear skies and a full moon, we soaked away for hours enjoying the pure peace and quiet with a bottle of red.......heaven !!!!!!! The cottage has been very tastefully restored and decorated and Steve was just across the field if we needed anything. I would like to say I would NOT like to recommend The Shooting Folly to anybody but purely for selfish reasons, I would love to keep this little gem to myself so we could book whenever we wanted to go but that would be selfish. Everyone should get to sample this little corner of paradise.
