Shire Cottage

7 Customer Reviews

• "Shire Cottage is a very large, dog friendly property with ample parking, three bathrooms and a fabulous dining area."

  Perfectly situated very close to Rowton Castle where our our sons wedding was taking place. However, this property does need some TLC to make it worth the money being charged - some of these issues dampened our few nights stay….. Mainly the smell coming from the Arg/Fire was awful - made your clothes smell, even gave you headaches so urgently needs looking at! Other easily fixed issues include: Replacing the low brown sofa. Tightening the loose and leaking kitchen tap. Pull cord in downstairs shower doesn’t stay on so couldn’t use shower. Toilet pans need a deep clean or replacing. Games room flooded. Kitchen floor was sticky and generally needs a good clean. Dishwasher doesn’t release the tablets & we didn’t have a tea towel to wash & dry manually. Plus the amount of dead flies in the attic room was disgusting…. Hot tub was great, but needs an outside light & garden was a fun place for the dogs.

• "We had a lovely stay at Shire Cottage and were very satisfied with the facilities."

  The kitchen was well equipped and the conservatory dining area was a lovely place to sit, eat, drink, chat and play games. The kitchen has an air fryer and a slow cooker which would have been handy to know in advance. Also we did not have any pods for the coffee machine. We all enjoyed the hot tub and would happily recommend the property. We were 6 adults, 2 small children and 2 small dogs. The only improvement I would suggest would be replacing the brown settee with something more comfortable as it is too low.

• "Shire Cottage was a lovely family space, and the owner was quick to answer queries - luckily we had the weather to enjoy sitting outside."

  Sadly the cottage is in need of a little general maintenance to make it feel worth the money charged - loose slabs in the path from the parking area to the front door, broken base-boards under cupboards in a number places, kitchen tap very loose, loo-roll holder coming off the wall in the principle bedroom, loo-pans in 2 bedrooms very badly stained, games space has a leaky roof so there was a large puddle making it difficult for the children to play table-tennis, garden over-grown, black paint peeling off the wall in the patio area, - all things that can be quickly rectified, and then the Cottage would be as welcoming as we had anticipated. I appreciate that this is information the owner might not aware of, and would prefer to action rather than publishing, but felt it important to point out. If left, it will continue to deteriorate even further. It certainly tainted our few days away.
