The cottage is repeatedly described as comfortable, cosy, and warm, with high praise for the beds and living spaces. The ground floor bedroom is appreciated for accessibility. A few guests found the sofas a bit soft, but this was a minor issue.
The property is lauded for being exceptionally well-equipped, with a modern kitchen, games, books, and outdoor seating. Minor maintenance issues, such as a broken gatepost, were noted but did not significantly impact overall satisfaction.

About this property
A delightful, early 19th century, detached coach house conversion, in a courtyard within the grounds of an old rectory, in the sleepy village of Shrawardine; a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of our quality Shropshire cottages. Old Coach House has been skilfully developed to a very high standard to create an enticing combination of original character features with modern facilities, to offer welcoming, well-equipped accommodation. The approach to the cottage has lovely views towards the Breidden Hills and Rodney's Pillar, whilst the scenic Severn Way Walk runs beside the cottage. Wonderful walking can be enjoyed in the Shropshire Hills, and National Cycle Network route 81 is just 50 yards from the cottage. Within easy reach are Shrewsbury, Church Stretton, Ludlow, the Ironbridge Gorge, Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. A luxury Shrawardine cottage in an ideal location.
Shrawardine is a quiet and secluded village situated in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, ideally located for touring this scenic county. Shrawardine is an easy drive away from the stunning Shropshire hills of the Long Mynd, Stiperstones and Caradoc, with their exceptional walking, biking and horse riding opportunities. Shrawardine is home to the fascinating ruins of a 13th Century Norman castle with impressive views. Just six miles away the medieval city of Shrewsbury, offering a choice of shops, pubs and restaurants, a new theatre, timber-framed black-and-white buildings, riverside walks, an abbey and a castle, is waiting to be explored. Also close to Shrawardine are Church Stretton, Ludlow, the Severn Valley Railway and the Ironbridge Gorge museums.

We were grateful to be able to arrive a little earlier at 4 because 5 o'clock arrival is too late and in our opinion should be lowered

Beautiful inside and out. The beds were so comfortable and having the ground floor bedroom suited us with an elderly guest. The sofas were a little too giving and soft for us but manageable for a weekend. Still a very cosy room. Iâd recommend a torch in the property as itâs so dark in the evenings. There was a charger but we couldnât locate it, so perhaps itâs been misplaced. Iâd definitely go back! Added benefit of having horses there to say hello to, and only a short drive into the town.
