Jennie July 2024

“We (A group of 8 women) stayed here for the weekend between 19th- 21st July.”

The house was perfect for us. Very spacious and clean. Everything we needed. The pool (Shared facility) was pleasant and a welcomed bonus! There is a Sainsburys a couple of miles away, where we stocked up on food and drink which meant we didn't need to leave the house. Would highly recommend and I'll definitely be returning.

- Jennie, July 2024

Michael June 2024

“We had a lovely holiday at the Park, the property was certainly big enough for our needs and well maintained.”

Good size bedrooms and lovely en-suite bathroom & shower facilities and nice towels. Mattress did not fit the bed correctly but bedding was very clean. Kitchen/diner was very good with plenty of storage and appliances. Lounge was a bit tired with uncomfortable long settees. TV could be better. Outside seating area was very nice and grounds kept tidy. Barbecue was grubby but useable after we gave it a good clean. Plenty of parking space.

- Michael, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Park. It's great to hear the property worked for your party and that you had everything that you needed. We will pass on your comments about the mattress and BBQ to the Housekeeper/Owner, so thank you for this. We hope to welcome you for another stay with us in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

Heather May 2024

“Our stay at the Park was lovely.”

The accommodation fitted our family of 11 well and on booking never realised there was an indoor pool so that was an added bonus, which was enjoyed by all. The only thing I would suggest is that the quilts could do with being replaced as they were rather stained. I would like to make a return visit in the near future.

- Heather, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Park. We are so pleased to hear you all had a lovely time at the property. Thank you for letting us know about the quilts, we will pass on this information to the Housekeeper to look at. We would love to welcome you all again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

Deborah March 2024

“As a family (12 of us) we recently stayed at the Park over the Easter weekend and had an absolutely brilliant time.”

The house was everything we could have wished for and there was plenty of room for us all to move around and be comfortable. Age range was from 69 down to 2 years of age but everyone found it really comfortable. There were no shortages of anything. Sharon who met with us on arrival was lovely and answered any questions that we had. She left her contact details and said that we could contact her with any issues. We took way too much food with us ! and agreed that if we returned we would use the local Tuffins Supermarket which literally sells everything ! A wonderful time enjoyed by all of us. Thank you

- Deborah, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Park. It's wonderful to hear you had a family celebration over Easter with us. It's so lovely when you can get different generations together and had an amazing time. We hope the Easter Bunny put in an appearance. We would love to welcome you all back again for another occasion in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

“We booked to celebrate a 70th birthday within the family.”

Party of 12, beautiful modern bathrooms, the bedrooms are just what you need, clean and fresh. Fully equipped kitchen for the numbers, tall fridge and under counter freezer. (Adding this as this has been a factor when we stayed elsewhere with the same numbers). The owner came and introduced herself, stating if we needed anything we can knock on her, then a lady who manages the site also showed us around, both were lovely, nothing was too big to ask. We had a leak in one of the bedrooms, and that was dealt with immediately. Then the area had an issue with a armoured cable being cut through and the power would need to go off to fix. 20 minutes before the estate manager knocked with a tray full of candles and matches for us, was really apologetic. The pool was lovely and a factor into us booking it, the tennis court was great. In the barn there’s a child’s play area and a table tennis. Beautiful surrounding, apple tree pub 1 mile down the road. If you are looking for a nice meal out there’s the Clive Arms, food was beautiful. There’s a food court behind it, which was great for a cooked breakfast and a lovely farm shop. We booked a cab with Alan, he couldn’t have been more helpful if he tried! Absolute superstar. We would absolutely return, everyone was so helpful, it really made our stay perfect.

- Catherine, January 2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it sounds like you had an amazing 70th Birthday celebration with family and friends at The Park. It's a wonderful barn to get everyone together and we love your comments. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future for another break or special occasion. Kind regards Manor Cottages.

David October 2023

“Excellent accommodation.”

Each bedroom had good clean ensuite facilities. Kitchen had excellent electric cooker and 2 dishwashers which are necessary when cooking for up to 12 people. The swimming pool was initially closed for maintenance and we had to ask for the cover to be removed when we wanted to use it.

- David, October 2023

Thank you for this lovely feedback. We're delighted you loved the property and hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Geoffrey July 2023

“Enjoyable holiday, excellent accommodation, only downside - having teenagers- was the indoor play equipment - ie.”

table tennis table, pool table, gym equipment - was out of action. If hadn't been for swimming pool and outdoor tennis court, and being only residents there, meant that teenagers could use these facilities when they wanted. Otherwise recommend wholeheartedly. Local pub also good facility

- Geoffrey, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall, and we appreciate your comments regarding the indoor play equipment and apologise that it was out of use on this occasion. We hope that this did not leave a lasting impact on your stay and that we can welcome you again one day in the future. Best wishes, HideAways. Property Owner
Julia July 2023

“We had a lovely few days in The Park with family to celebrate some big family milestones.”

It was good for everyone to have their own space and there were no fights for the bathroom in the mornings! Plus everyone in our party commented on how comfy the beds are. The local pub was nice and we all enjoyed the walk there and back. We also enjoyed a lovely meal at the Clive Arms which is a short drive from the house. All in all a lovely stay and we would definitely recommend.

- Julia, July 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It's fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your time away at The Park! It really is a lovely property, and we hope that we can welcome you back one day in the future for more celebrations! Best wishes, HideAways. Property Owner
Carole June 2023

“Firstly I would like to say that our group of 10 friends enjoyed our holiday here.”

The property was clean and the gardens were well maintained.A lovely view over the Shropshire countryside. Any problems were dealt with as soon as the owners were made aware of them. Suggestions for improving our stay:- Update the information folder and put the instructions for appliances in one place. The covered games area equipment needs attention as some things were unusable eg the table tennis table was not on level ground.

- Carole, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and have passed your suggestions on to the owner. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner
Iwan October 2022

“Ten of us enjoyed a wonderful week at The Park, helped by some lovely autumn weather.”

Superb value for money, great facilities and in a very useful location to walk and enjoy the scenery and nature of the area. Also found some good pubs to dine in the evenings - special mention to The Lion in Leintwardine and The Plough in Wistanstow, both excellent. Thanks to the owners of Onibury Cottages for a memorable stay.

- Iwan, October 2022

We are glad to hear that your group enjoyed your stay and benefitted from good weather. Thank you for your recommendations for the local pubs; we are pleased that you had delicious meals. We hope to welcome you back again. Best wishes HideAways Property Owner
Alice November 2021

“Had an amazing time as a group of 12 friends.”

The beds are comfy and all the rooms were extremely clean with lovely showers, everything you need in the kitchen, only negative we would mention is the oven, it took an extremely long time to heat up and cook anything so be mindful. The views are amazing and we hope to return in summer so we can use the other facilities. People staying in the other cottages had private helicopters so we all enjoyed watching them.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back any time in the future. Property Owner
Jacqueline October 2021

“We have just returned from a week at The Park.”

The property suited our needs well (6 couples). The bedrooms were comfortable with great en-suites. Not a huge amount of shelf space but overall adequate. The lounge was big enough for 12 sitting on two settees and two chairs. The kitchen was essentially well equipped with an abundance of good glassware, dishes and pots and pans. 2 dishwashers were a bonus and were well used. Lovely big table and comfortable dining chairs. Big fridge and separate freezer - both great. The oven however left a lot to be desired, took ages to cook anything and if you left food in a dish near the bottom of the over the bottom ended up burnt! The hob was no problem. We used the swimming pool once and were not enticed back. Not a welcoming building and the so pool needed some TLC!! The photos of The Park needed a description with them as there were pictures of the ‘hospitality’ suite and we all thought when originally viewing the property on line that those pictures were part of the property we rented. We had a few issues that needed addressing whilst we were there and these were dealt with efficiently by the Manager Sharon. We loved the location and certainly would recommend The Park for a group of 6 couples. We enjoyed our week there very much.
