Super Central - Quiet - 2 Bedroom Cottage

The location was central on the High St.

Hot water on timer and water freezing cold. Managed to get hold of someone at 10.00pm to sort it out. when we wanted to shower. Only a small tank and when the water was used had to wait for it to get hot again to be able to use it. Lots of cobwebs about. Bins in alley were overflowing and recycling area was absolutely disgusting. Smells and we saw a rat there. Only enough seating in lounge for three people and not four, so one of us had to sit on a kitchen chair. Very steep stairs leading to bedrooms and really not suitable for someone with mobility issues. The photographs on the website are very deceiving and make the place look huge. However in reality, the place is quite small. Kitchen not very well equipped and lounge area very small. Another thing that did concern us was the fact that the only exit to the building was through the kitchen door. God forbid, if there was a fire in the kitchen, there was no other means of exit from the building. Overall, we enjoyed in Shrewsbury, but we would not book this place again. The entrance to the building is very scruffy with full bins, cigarette ends all over the floor and a lot of bird poo everywhere. Also, items left in freezer and freezer tray and fridge trays damaged, so our advice is to take photos when you arrive. Finally, when you book on booking.com it does mention a security deposit if £350, which we didn’t really mind as we didn’t expect to need it. However, what they don’t tell you until you’ve made full non refundable payment is that they offer two options for the deposit. 1: you can pay a waiver fee of £24 or 2: if you decide not to pay this waiver fee, then the £350 deposit is subject to a 2% admin fee. So another £7 on top of the cost of the booking. No other options.

Amazing location - right in the centre of Shrewsbury. Property was nice and traditional as well.

The hot water was on a timer which wasn’t explained in any check in instructions. So we had cold showers on the first morning.

It is a really nice cottage with two superb bedrooms. It is in an ideal location for visiting Shrewsbury.

Checking in was a pain as I had to supply my photographic ID via a internet app, which I was not carrying. Luckily, my wife had hers. I often travel to Shrewsbury on the train and have no need to carry driving licence or passport! The stairs are quite steep and would be difficult for people with mobility problems. Smokers are not allowed to smoke in the yard outside the property and have to make their way to the street.

Very central for everything

Internet wouldn’t work, but the staff did there best to resolve the issue.

Great location, lovely cosy cottage would definitely stay again.

Needs a door mat in the kitchen. Very clean but above head height only, lots of cobwebs.

The location was excellent, the accommodation was beautiful, comfortable and clean and the host was very helpful. I will be returning.

Excellent location, super clean, quiet, great beds, well furnished.

Just needs a door mat at the entrance to wipe your feet.
