Malt Kiln Cottage Reviews

Kara

My husband and I came to Malt Kiln cottage for his 30th birthday weekend - it was so beautiful, we had a great time. Very clean, comfortable and the area is lovely. Would definitely love to stay again!

Jenny

A well situated cottage with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a nice touch but it was a bit too cold and wet for us to enjoy it as much as wed hoped to.

Adam

This is a lovely cottage in a great location. The outdoor space is really private and safe for the little ones be they human or canine! We did not use the hot tub but it is a real treat to have one at the property. The accommodation is plenty big enough for a couple or young family. The kitchen has everything you need for proper cooking. The fridgeRead more is family sized but only has an ice box if you are thinking of bringing any frozen foods with you. All in all a great place to stay Hide

Craig

We had a wonderful holiday staying in this lovely spacious cottage. It was really clean and when we arrived we found some Welsh cakes and crisps set out for us. Getting our key was easy, and we had great communication with the owners. We had a fa tastic meal at the pub just across the road and there is a medieval Fort to visit too.

Claire

The cottage was a good size, clean and well equipped if your catering for family. The Lions Head pub just up the road was the best choice as locally run, very friendly and relaxed, dog friendly and the best Rib eye steak! You can hear a bit of traffic noise sometimes from cottage Comfortable mattresses. You need nice weather for hot tub as you haveRead more to build the fire to heat it...nice to do when sunny. Hide

This is a very comfortable cozy cottage in a great location. Lots of amenities in the village, all within a short distance from the property.

A very clean, cosy and comfortable cottage. It is situated in a pretty village with good walks around. Local pubs are friendly and worth visiting , likewise the local shop.

Rich

Really lovely cottage to stay in - clean, well presented, and warm. Very clear set of help notes provided to assist us during our stay

Dianne

Lovely cosy cottage. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Location was perfect with 2 pubs, both serving very good food, a chip shop and convenience store. Good for exploring the region with its beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend.

Jacqueline

A lovely break! The cottage was spacious but cozy with everything we needed and more! Lovely pub across the road that did excellent food and daily specials. A shop close by for when you run out of wine or toilet roll haha. Lots of places to visit. 8 for a taxi to Oswestry if you dont want to drive. The hot tub was great fun! - just make sure to havRead moree a good supply of wine (or your beverage of choice) and a book or some company for whilst it heats up. Wouldnt hesitate to book again!

Sharon

Lovely clean cottage , luxury thick towels and soft silky sheets. We have used a wood fired hot tub before , so had no issues getting it going and keeping it toasty. Very nice location, little bit of traffic noise , but we hardly noticed after two nights.

Trevor

Malt Kiln Cottage is a lovely relaxing property in a delightful village. Its location is ideal for exploring Shropshire and the Welsh border.

Philip

Nicely presented cottage in a great central location for exploring both Shropshire and North Wales. The secret garden is very secure for dogs and the hot tub was a firm favourite! One thing to note is O2 mobile signal is almost zero! Thankfully the wifi is decent. This was our second visit which is a good indication of how highly we rated this plac e!

Steven

Our small family had a wonderful week at Malt Kiln Cottage. The property is clean, well-equipped and beautifully maintained. The wood-fired hot tub was the highlight of our stay, meaning that we spent most evenings soaking in the garden. Whittington itself is a lovely village with the castle and The Olde Boote Inn just a stones throw from the cotta ge; we had the best roast dinner I can remember at the pub on the Sunday. Thoroughly recommended; we could easily have stayed for 2 weeks.

Jolande

We were welcomed by the very nice owner of the property. She was very helpful. The cottage was quirky but very nice and cosy. The surroundings were wonderful. We've had an excellent stay at Malt Kiln Cottage, and would love to go back some time.

Dennis

This was an excellent cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Friendly owner. Central location for visiting a number of local attractions. Good pub just down the road. Traffic noise could be a problem at times.

Susan

Lovely cottage and ideal location to explore the welsh borders. We felt very relaxed and rested after our stay.

Rosie

What a lovely little cottage in the best location - the village with its own 12th Century moated castle! Easy to get everywhere. Lots of lovely places to explore. Small enclosed garden which is a little sun- trap later on in the afternoon. Highly recommend

Alan

Fab place. Nice and clean. Well presented. Loved the castle. Think we went every day. And well placed for getting to loads of great places

Patricia

Had a lovely stay. Hot tub takes a bit of work but well worth it in the end. We sat in it while it rained as no shelter over it but pulled the cover over our heads. Lovely location, beds super comfortable and cottage spotless. Shout out to the narrowest Inn as we turned up a bit lost and bedraggled and the lovely barman and patrons offered to run u s back in the car The local chips shop is amazing, food delicious and very reasonably priced.

Pauline

The cottage is lovely for a break to explore the local area. Beds comfortable and all very clean. Well equipped for all you need. TV great too with having access to lots channels. Car port can be a little tight for entering and reversing from if you have a larger car. Didnt use hot tub was too cold and wet to get it going with being a wood burner. Welcome pack a nice treat.

Gail

Lovely cottage, beautifully presented and furnished with everything we needed and more. We loved the hot tub and really appreciated the wood store available to fire up the tub. Only minor point to note is that the back garden is accessed down a long, narrow pathway and isn't visible from the cottage at all. Nice to be secluded but a bit difficult f or us as we couldn't monitor our dog outside unless we went out with her. Garden seemed secure but couldn't take a the chance.

Berenice

We had a fantastic 3 night stay at this gorgeous cottage. It was clean, well-equipped, and warm. Communication with the owners was excellent. The cottage is well situated in a stunning little village, and although the hot tub took a while to warm up, once it was ready, it was well worth it. The beds were really comfortable and we felt at home. Than k you for letting us stay in such a beautiful cottage.

Philip

A delightful and spacious cottage, well equipped and convenient in every way. The location was excellent in a village with a shop and several eating places. Access to main roads and places of interest were easy but the actual location of the cottage was very quiet.

Jonathan

Location was very good for chip shop, pubs, local shop and close to Oswestry. Very cosy front room. My dog loved the garden and enjoyed her walks very much. Overall a lovely break which we really needed. Very nice owners.

Kirsten

Stunning little cottage in the most beautiful village. Spotlessly clean. Neil was a very helpful host.

Suzanne

Gorgeous warm and cozy cottage in a lovely location, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Julie

Great location for places of interest. Lovely Villiage. Very friendly people in the Villiage. The Boot pub is excellent.

Elaine

We had a lovely time at the Cottage in Malt Kiln Cottage, it was a beautiful cottage and we had everything that we needed for our stay. it was clean to high standards.

Neil

Close to all amenities. As We were in area for hospital appointment it was a sound base. Lovely walks.

Sue

A beautiful, cosy, spotlessly clean, well-equipped cottage. We felt at home immediately upon arrival and appreciated the Welshcakes and tea. The owners had even prepped the hot tub and left clear instructions how to 'fire it up'. I was genuinely sorry to leave at the end of our holiday. I would not hesitate to return. We were lucky enough to see th e hot air balloons float by during the Oswestry Balloon Carnival. So many gorgeous places to visit nearby, many of them dog friendly. Thank you!

Lorraine

A clean, well equipped, dog-friendly cottage. The wood-fired hot-tub enjoyed by us all. Allocated parking a little tight with a larger vehicle.

Barbara

Lovely property, all you would wish for and more. Perfect location. Clean and really comfortable. Welcome pack appreciated.

Lisa

Enjoyed a very relaxing g stay in the cottage so convenient for all areas of Shropshire. The property was dog friendly and comfortable, would stay here again and recommend to others.

David

Malt Kiln Cottage is a great base for exploring Shropshire. There are some great places to eat with The Boathouse at Ellesmere a short drive away (highly recommended) and Ye Olde Boote Inn literally 2 minutes walk from the cottage. The steak night was super and great value. The Castle Cafe serves a great breakfast and has some lovely cakes on offer and is only a 5 minute stroll. All in all this cottage is in a great location, is very comfortable and well presented. Highly recommended.

Wendy

Great place to stay but did not know it was on main thoroughfare Ellesmere to Oswestry with many HGVS.

Pauline

Great location, very clean and comfortable, had fish & chips from chip shop, didn't use any of the pubs! Parking maybe a bit tight if you have a large car, we had no problems. we didn't use hot tub, don't do hot tubs! Garden was at the back of the 2 other gardens, it was very secure for our dog!!

David

A lovely cosy cottage near to all amenities and yet far enough away for a quiet rest. Highly recommended.

Kristina

Just back from a fantastic stay. Whittington is a lovely village - a perfect location for exploring Oswestry and the surrounding area. The cottage was spacious and spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a weekend break. The welcome basket was a nice touch too. We loved the hot tub and it heated it up within an hour and a half on the second day. Weve never stayed anywhere as dog friendly - bowls/towels and even doggy bags provided. Our 14 year old lab loved her stay too!

Clair

We are just home from a fantastic stay in Kiln Cottage. The photos dont really do this cottage justice. It was spacious, immaculate, comfortable and very well equipped, we had everything we needed and more. The cottage has beautiful features and the owners are great. I would 100% recommend this cottage to others and we would like to return in the f uture.
