Cottage 1877 is a lovely holiday home. Was perfect for a party of 4 friends but would also return with my family. Clean, modern and spacious. Good size hot tub and nice outdoor area. Close proximity to Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Helpful and friendly owners.
Patricia
A lovely comfortable cottage, well situated for what we wanted on our week away.
Joyce
We four Canadians arrived by taxi without difficulty. Colin, our host, offered to take us to the nearest supermarket to stock up for the week. While touring the cottage, he shared information on local points of interest. He attends to the hot tub daily. The cottage was inviting, spacious, clean, airy, full of sunlight, well stocked and most comfortRead moreable. Though transit is available, a car would provide more flexibility. We would definitely return, given the opportunity. Thanks, Colin. Hide
Sara
Extremely welcoming hosts, beautiful cottage, not overlooked. Hot tub was clean and to temperature on arrival. Clean cottage with everything you need. We were there as 2 couples with young children and the owners were really accommodating, high chair provided and very baby friendly. Having a washer and dryer was an amazing bonus with babys clothes.Read more Fantastic views over the fields from the hot tub with local amenities close by, near park and rides and a great Indian locally! Highly recommend! Hide

The cottage was in a beautiful setting, very private and tranquil. Facilities were great and the wifi excellent. The hot tub was very welcoming after a day out exploring. The owners were very friendly and informative of nearby attractions. We had a fantastic few days.
Ben
Great cottage, very friendly and helpful hosts, lovely location. Highly recommend! We hope to return!
Mark
A lovely, well maintained cottage. Decor is spot on, very comfortable and clean. The Hot tub was amazing- and the filed it backs onto has great views and lots of sheep and cows. The owners are very friendly and responsive, however, they also leave you alone to your privacy. Location is great- very easy to get around the sights such as Powys Castle, Shrewsbury and Oswestry. Would ove to go back.
Libby
Beautiful property, spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable, had a fabulous break, hot tub amazing x
Helen
A lovely cottage overlooking acres of fields with sheep and cows grazing, very relaxing and private. The hot tub was a fabulous addition and a must at the end of each busy day exploring. Well equipped and the beds were super comfy. The owners are really friendly and welcoming and are happy to offer assistance or advice on places to visit. All in al l, very enjoyable.
Victoria
The cottage was clean and well equipped, which all helped to give us a really relaxing stay. The owners were lovely and helpful. The property is also in a quiet location but with an easy drive to local amenities.
Steve
Owners very helpful and cottage was generally of a good standard
Dean
This was a great break, the owners are very friendly, the only thing you have to get used to is no mobile reception. This is a good if you want to break from work etc. However, the place has great reception. We will be back at some point as this was a relaxing place, very quiet.
Helen
This is a beautiful well equipped cottage, we especially enjoyed the large hot tub (complete with lights!) which has uninterrupted countryside views. Our son also enjoyed playing in the enclosed garden.
Brenda
A lovely comfortable cottage. Well appointed. In a quiet location overlooking farmland. Relaxing hot tub. Looking forward to visiting again in the, hopefully, not too distant future. Thank you.
Richard
This was a most comfortable and relaxing base for exploring the Welsh-English border country. It was always a welcome place to return to after an exhausting day of exploring, especially with the prospect of sitting in the hot tub overlooking the fields on the River Severn's banks.
Christine
A lovely cottage in an attractive setting. Very clean and attractively decorated.
Laura
We had a fantastic holiday staying in the beautiful 1877 Cottage. Very high quality, clean and stylish. Would highly recommend.
Andrew
Great location for walking. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. There were 4 of us and whilst the living area wasn't that big, we didn't feel crowded. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable and the shower was great. We wanted a nice hot tub and this one didn't disappoint - we enjoyed each evening in there, just catching up after a da y of exploring. Shrewsbury was a great day out with all of it's independent shops. The walk up to Rodney's pillar was really good.
Elizabeth
Perfect retreat. Quality cottage in rural location was just what the doctor ordered. Loved the hot tub, well maintained, spotless and comfortable with lovely countryside view. Shrewsbury is in easy reach. Sainsbury and M& S Simply Food on the outskirts (Google the postcode for the sat nav). Chinese at The Breddwin a 10 min drive was gorgeous. A lov ely 45 minute drive took us to Chester which was beautiful. Lovely hosts Colin and Suzanne were nearby if help needed but we were totally private.
Linda
The cottage is in a beautiful position surrounded by gorgeous countryside. It has been finished to a high standard and was the perfect size for our group of 4. We would definitely stay again when we are visiting the area.
Sarah
Lovely place, very clean & had all of the equipment needed and more. Owners were very friendly and helpful as well. Hot tub is a great size & the location of the cottage is great.
Richard
Super cottage in a lovely quiet and relaxing setting. It has everything you need and is top quality. We spent two nights over New Year and it was perfect for our post Xmas chill out - the hot tub with views across the fields is spot on. The owner was very welcoming and has a property to be proud of; one I would highly recommend in a lovely part of Shropshire, which is a great area to explore.
Carissa
Absolutely perfect ! This property was absolutely spotless and beautiful,the hosts were very pleasant and helpful. We would love to return here.
Joanna
We had a fantastic week at cottage 1877 with our two young children. The cottage is really lovely, comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub is fantastic and was a big hit with our kids. It is completely private and has a lovely view across fields. The location is great with plenty to do in the area. Highlights for us were Shrewsbury centre (great indoor market and lovely park called the Quarry), Powis Castle, Lake Vyrnwy and Attingham Park. I would highly recommended this cottage to others.
Catherine
Staying at this cottage was very relaxing. Watching the sheep in the field whilst reclining in the hot tub. Sitting in the lounge on the comfortable sofa looking out of the floor to ceiling windows with the sun shining in. Two cats strolling by. Away from the cottage. Shrewsbury , quad biking and Hawkstone follies a must. Wonderful countryside.
Andrew
This cottage is fantastic for a family or 2 couples as we did. It is very clean and finished to a high standard. It is remote and not overlooked by anyone which makes the use of the top quality hot tub a great experience looking over open fields. We walked to all 3 local pubs 2 of which are under a mile away and the Royal Hill which is approximatel y 2.5 miles away. (Great food, staff and drinks at very reasonable price) Colin the owner is nearby and is very helpful and friendly. Dont hesitate.
Zoe
House in ideal location. Host is very helpful and on hand to help if required. Lovely place to stay, relaxing and comfortable and peaceful. Would highly recommend
