"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Linley Lane cottage."
The property is very well furnished with comfy sofas and beds. It was clean and tidy, and had lots of nice little extras like tea, coffee, soap etc which you don't always get, and was very much appreciated. This is clearly a cottage that welcomes dogs, as there is an extra little cupboard for all your dogs needs. The owners were very warm, friendly and helpful when we needed them, but otherwise left us to enjoy our stay. The location is fantastic for all sorts of great places around Shropshire. It's a wonderful place to visit, and we would definitely use this cottage again. Thank you for a lovely stay
Thank you - we do hope to see you again Property Owner

"What a lovely holiday cottage."
The bedrooms and shower were fantastic. Big sociable kitchen was great too, with everything you could think of. Sitting room was "cosy" but we didn't really use it as it was summer. The tiny garden around the cottage is really beautiful and the location suited our needs well. The only comment I would make is that the access was not very easy for one of our party with some mobility problems and I don't think this was very clear from the description. The owners were on hand if needed, and friendly and helpful.
Many thanks for your feedback, which is very much appreciated. Sorry about the slight access problem - we do say that parking is nearby rather than immediately adjacent, but of course you can unload immediately outside. Property Owner

"The cottage is very well cared for, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom spotless and well equipped."

Thank you for your kind and positive feedback We'd be more than pleased to see you again Property Owner

"We had a great stay."
Cottage is clean, modern and spacious. The owners are lovely. Places that we visited and enjoyed were Ludlow castle, Stiperstones Inn and Carding Mill Valley. Would be happy to stay again and explore more places

"Thank you Ian and Ann for a lovely second stay in your beautiful holiday cottage."
It really is a home from home with absolutely everything you could need or wish for. It's extremely well-equipped, warm, comfortable, dog-friendly and spotlessly clean with lots of extra little touches - and in a beautiful location with walks straight from the door. Ian and Ann are so helpful and yet totally respectful of guests' privacy at the same time. The area is great for walking and there are lots of interesting places (Bishops Castle, Clun, Montgomery) to visit. We'd totally recommend this cottage if you're looking for the perfect rural base from which to explore this stunning area.
Many thanks for your kind and positive feedback. (Apparently a technical issue prevented your comments from being published earlier.) It was great to see you return for a further visit and we look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"We stayed at this property between 23/12 and 27/12/23."
It is a lovely property in a very peaceful place. The couple who own it were on hand if we needed anything but weren’t intrusive. The property was well equipped with new appliances, Netflix, fast broadband and was very clean and tastefully decorated. It is often the little things that make all the difference and the owners made it a home from home. They had left Prosecco and a carton of fresh milk in the fridge, a jar of homemade jam, biscuits, coffee, tea and sugar. They had also put up some Christmas decorations for us. We had a lovely relaxing time. Highly recommend
Many thanks for your kind and positive feedback. It is very much appreciated. Property Owner

"Absolutely lovely cottage, we very much enjoyed our stay."
The cottage is done to a fantastic standard and in such a peaceful location. Thank you for such a wonderful stay in a beautiful part of the country and thank you also for the sausage rolls and scones when we were leaving. Very yummy!
Many thanks for your kind and positive feedback. We do aim to please but it's always nice to have that recognised. Property Owner

"Just arrived home from a midweek stay at Linley Lane Cottage."
We were in much need of some peace and quiet and Norbury certainly delivered. A beautiful little village with stunning views and a lovely calm peaceful aura about it. The cottage was a welcoming cosy little home, clean and fresh, equipped with everything you could need. We love Shropshire and this is by far the nicest part we have visited. Thank you Ian and Ann for your kind and respectful hospitality
Thank you. We do appreciate your entirely positive review and hope we see you again before too long. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage in a fantastic, quiet location."
Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Kitchen very well equipped. Wi-Fi excellent and TV was a good size for watching. Owners very friendly and very helpful. Loved our 3 day break here. Village was gorgeous. Welcome pack of eggs, wine and milk much appreciated especially as we had forgotten to bring our own milk. Thank you Ian and Ann
Very many thanks for your kind and detailed review Property Owner

"The host lady was just absolutely lovely and her property gave us the best straight forward young family weekend getaway we could have hoped for!"
Many thanks for your positive feedback. If you have a moment, it would help us to know where the listing wasn't quite accurate - this is largely in the hands of Sykes Cottages, so guest feedback is particularly important Property Owner

"Very comfortable and well furnished cottage with everything you would need."

"We had a lovely few days at Linley Lane."
We really appreciated the extra touches that made it feel very homely and it was extremely well equipped. The owners have put a lot of thought into making our stay perfect. It is located in such a lovely part of Shropshire and we had some wonderful walks. We hope to come back soon.
Thank you so much for recognising our efforts to make guests' stays enjoyable - and we very much look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

"If you are looking for a relaxing holiday or if you are looking for the outdoor life with lots of beautiful scenery and plentiful walking trails Kinley Lane cottage is for you."
The hosts couldn't have been more helpful and the cottage is well equipped. No garden to let the dog run in but plenty of flowery verges and hedgerows for him to check out. A property to return to!
Many thanks for your kind remarks - just in case anyone reading this can't find the property it's LINLEY Lane Cottage (rather than Kinley!) Property Owner

"What a fantastic holiday cottage this is."
Perfect hosts, making it clear that they would be there if we needed anything, but at the same time totally respecting our privacy. The cottage has a lovely ambience and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a really relaxing stay. A lot of effort has gone into the décor, the sofas and beds were comfortable, the kitchen/diner was spacious - and it’s also very dog friendly, which is important to us. Norbury is off the beaten track and there are many walks with stunning views straight from the cottage door. The cottage has a series of little maps covering the Shropshire Hills that were useful to take out and about. We fell totally in love with the cottage and the area and will definitely return for a repeat stay. If you’re looking for a cottage in a rural village setting that’s a perfect base for a walking or touring holiday, then Linley Lane Cottage totally fits the bill. Thank you.
Thank you It's always very rewarding to receive such positive feedback Property Owner

"A lovely cottage in a very peaceful location."
We used this as a base to visit friends in Brosely, Ludlow and the Long Mynd. All easily reached with stunning scenery all around. The welcome was warm and friendly from the hosts. Kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. Pub is approximate 2 miles away but we did not get chance to visit. Cosy lounge with smart TV and comfy sofas. Bedrooms were a good size and comfortable beds. Good size shower with excellent water pressure. Small private area at front of cottage was useful for our dog and would be great to sit out in better weather. We will definitely visit again. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for your positive and encouraging review Property Owner

"Great cottage with all the facilities you could need, if your looking for a get away from it all rural holiday it's ideal, a car is a must !"
As it is two miles from the nearest shop, so make sure you pack all your essentials, it is dog friendly and a great area for walking, the owners Ian and Ann live next-door and are really nice people, parking is about 50 yards away as the cottage is on corner junction.
Thank you for your positive feedback. I see we didn't get 100% for cleanliness, which is a shock - if you can spare a moment, please let us know where we slipped up. Property Owner

"We loved our stay at Linley Lane Cottage!"
Such a quiet peaceful location. The cottage itself was really cosy - comfy beds and we loved the little fire in the living room. All the extra touches are so nice - the teddies in the bedrooms and the fabric on the drawer tops etc! The owners gave us a kind welcome and were around if we needed anything.
Thank you for your generous and much appreciated feedback Property Owner

"We had a lovely break at this gem of a cottage."
It was decorated to a high standard and was comfortable, cosy and well equipped. Lovely towels and linen too. Though there wasn't a lot of outdoor space, there were walks close by and the location was very pretty with fantastic views of the hills. We found a great pub in Bishops Castle, 8 minutes drive away. We would recommend it to our family and friends. A fabulous stay. Thank you.
Delighted you enjoyed yourself and so pleased that you took the trouble to put your experience on line. Do hope we see you gain Property Owner

"Lovely cottage, the only problem for us, was that it was very hot."
The owners, who live next door, were very helpful and even said we didn't have to leave early as the cottage would be vacant for 2 days. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the bathroom had a very good shower. The cottage is in a very pretty village and both Church Stratton and Bishops Castle are easily accessible.
Many hanks for your kind and positive review. We're sorry it was too hot, although the instructions do tell you where the heating controls are - we'll make that more obvious for future guests. Property Owner

"This is one if the loveliest cottages my husband and I have stayed in."
The owners were thoughtful snd provided things to welcome us. As it was Christmas, there were a few tasteful homemade decorations which were nicer than shop bought. It was clean throughout, and the kitchen was spacious and well equipped. The owners were friendly but respectful of our privacy. The cottage was warm and cosy in every room even though it was December. We really could not hasked for more on our stay. An excellent find!!
