Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a lovely cottage. It has some great amenities, the addition of a hot tub was a welcome surprise! It has all the things needed to have a peaceful and relaxing time. The hosts were very caring and kind.

The cottage was very comfortable and well appointed. It was well equipped with everything you need for a lovely stay. Would highly recommend for a peaceful quiet stay.

Such a great setting! Plenty of outdoor walks straight from the door onto Bircher common with nearby attractions like Croft castle and a bit further Hergest ridge with glorious panoramic views.Sunnyside cottage is a lovely and inviting house, well planned out. Comfy sofas comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. We all had a great time there, would highly recommend.

Second time at Sunnyside Cottage! Beautiful place, very clean and the weather was very kind to us! So we enjoyed BBQ listening to the birds singing and the well kept garden! Definitely be back!

Sunnyside is a fantastic house, with lovely views and nice walks around the common. The road up to the cottage is bumpy as stated, but you get used to it. The house is home from home and has a relaxing feel to it, great to sit out on the decking area and listen to the birds singing and watch the sunset with a glass of fizz in your hand. Sheep and pigs do walk pass the cottage, so always make sure the gate is doubled locked. Plenty of places to visit. Yarpole the bell community pub is very friendly and nice food. Also the community shop in Yarpole is well stocked and the volunteers are friendly. A lovely house to relax and recharge and we will be planning another visit.

This was our second visit to Sunnyside and it is a super house in a fabulous location, detached from the outside world and accessed by a long unmetalled track! It is very well equipped and very comfortable. The third bedroom with bunk beds would be a bit cramped for adults but not a concern for us. Plenty of attractions in the area and Croft Castle is next door and worth several visits if you are NT members. An ideal rural hideaway!

The property is spacious, really comfortable, and wellequipped. the beds are very comfortable and the shower is fantastic! Unfortunately the weather wasn't good enough for us to enjoy sitting out on the balcony or terrace, but it would have been lovely to eat al fresco if the weather was up to it. We enjoyed a couple of lovely local walks with fantastic scenery. The house is in a great location, very secluded and quiet. You do have to drive up a very bumpy track to reach it, which we didn't mind after the first time, but people should be aware of this. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would definitely recommend the property.

Didn't realise there was no washing machine until we reread the details. Weather was fine so it didn't matter. I can imagine that visitors with a low sports car would have struggled because of the condition of the approach road. We could see some recent repairs to the track though. We didn't use the lounge because of the food and drink restrictions. The accommodation is very spacious and the deck areas are fantastic in good weather. The setting is wonderful and in the middle of hundreds of acres of woodland and common in a very scenic part of Britain.

We loved our stay at Sunnyside. The house is lovely cosy but spacious, characterful but with all the modern luxuries. We really enjoyed the position, with the most wonderful birdsong to wake up to, and the stars were really vivid. Spotting the deer out of the window was a highlight for the children, who absolutely loved their room and the garden. We'd really recommend a stay here. The track to the house is long and bumpy, but taking it slowly we personally didn't have any issues with it.

Spent an amazing week over Xmas at Sunnyside with family. This is my second stay at the cottage this year and it didn't fail to impress again! The kitchen is so well equipped and everything has been considered from gin glasses, serving dishes to a hand blender, which made cooking Xmas dinner effortless. Lovely walks from the doorstep, we walked across the common to The Maidenhead pub about 45 mins on Xmas eve and had a really good meal. Seeing the loval black pig at thebgarden gate is always one of the highlights! I could go on and on about how amazing this place is, the log burner which heated the entire house all week we didn't use the central heating once! real Xmas tree and other festive decorations, the freindly neighbours and owner who popped by to check everything was okay, the stunning location, the amazing power shower, the comfortable beds and not least the luxurious and spacious accommodation where everything has been considered and which ticks every box! I look forward to returning

Extremely well equipped with high quality throughout. Lovely surroundings and within a radius of about 30 miles from many interesting places to visit. As mentioned by others the access road is typically a little rough, as you'd expect on a Common, but with care is easily negotiated we arrived and left in torrential rain!. We've been holidaying in cottages for many years and this cottage stands out as one of the best.

There is only one route to Sunnyside for vehicles despite what your satnav might tell you The final part of this is on unmade track, just passable for a normal family car, but not an easy drive. The track needs levelling and the vegetation needs cutting back. Parking at the property is good. Entrance to the property is via an ample cloakroom with attached toilet. The open plan kitchenliving area has doors opened onto the lower balcony. There is a good sized dining table with 5 chairs and 2 sofas. There is a smart tv and sound system. The kitchen is a good size with ample utensils. The kitchen appliances are very good although the controls for the oven and hob may take some getting used to it is definitely advisable to read the instructions. A door gives access to a larger lounge, with a log burner and a large sofa with a second smart tv. We found this room less useable since the owner has requested the guests do not eat or drink on this sofa, so it was more relaxing to stay in the other lounge area. Upstairs the large bedroom had a really comfortable superking bed. There were 2 skylights and doors opening onto the balcony. There is adjacent shower room extremely good shower and toilet. In the bathroom was another toilet 3 in all, very useful and a good sized bath. The bunk beds are comfortable. Likewise, the double room has a comfortable bed. The property has ample storage in all rooms. Due to the weather we made little use of the outside facilities, but the garden is a good size and there is a good sized barbeque which appeared to be in good, clean condition. Some information in the property handbook seems a little out of date, since we found a rather overgrown area instead of the promised vegetable garden. All in all the house is comfortable and well maintained. Throughout our stay the internet was very slow, which did effect connectivity and the reception of the smart tvs. The access to Bircher Common is a massive asset, with wild ponies and deer almost literally on the doorstep. The poor condition of the track for the 700 yards from the cattle grid the last bit of tarmac to the house, would be the major factor to influence whether to stay here again.

As previous guests have mentioned the approachroad is substandard potentially a problem for vehicles suspension, springs and tyres. i appreciate this is not the owners fault as they have no control over it as well as the foliage that scrapes the side of the car in many places. having said that the property is really well presented, maintained and stocked. our stay was peaceful and tranquil and our thanks go to the owners for opening their doors to us.

We had a perfect holiday at Sunnyside and would like to thank you for the welcome pack and little extras at the house. The grandchildren loved the sheep, pig and abundant wild life in the area and we enjoyed sitting on the veranda in the evening with a drink. Very peaceful area although the dirt track drive in a small car was a challenge.

Well what a house! ! Everything was 1010 we totally enjoyed our time relaxing and having fun! Everything was perfect, so comfortable surroundings we tried to use every area dependant on the weather and managed one day to open up the bifold doors! Everything was clean and plentiful. Excellent choice, and this now becomes our number one to return again some day. Excellent communication before we arrived and we settled in straight away from the minute we walked in. Thank you so much.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we could not arrive until the Monday. Our stay was lovely, shame about the weather!! Would really love to stay here again, next time for the full week!! The road to the property is dreadful but once there the parking places were good. Well equipped with everything one would need for the stay. We were in contact with the owners, they were very amenable and sympathetic, the wine was lovely!! Thank you for an excellent stay

Amazing holiday, great facilities. The property was so private and peaceful. There was plenty of seating Both indoors and outdoors The owner had provided all the sundries we required in the kitchen which was unexpected and appreciated. Communication from the owner prior to arrival was informative and helpful. The bottle of prosecco on arrival was a nice surprise. We loved the sheep coming up to the front gate and the walks from the property We had a meal at the Bell inn just a 5 minute drive away. The service was great, they were very welcoming and the food was amazing We had a lovely relaxed holiday in a perfect place. I would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend it to anyone

Nestled on the edge of the beautiful common land and surrounded by trees humming with birdsong, Sunnyside was a wonderful place of tranquility to escape the stresses of everyday life. The decked areas with comfortable seating were the perfect place to unwind. Our holiday was free of hassle as the well equipped cottage provided all we could desire. A perfect holiday setting!

This is an extremely well presented property, with excellent furnishings and equipment. It is very comfortable and warm. The location is ideal for walking, wildlife, National Trust properties and places of interest, such as Ludlow, Hereford and Ironbridge The owners were very helpful and responsive to our enquiries. Thanks for a great week!

A very well equipped and maintained holiday home, with pretty much everything you would need. The balconies, whilst not really used much with our February stay, are a brilliant touch. It's in a very quiet place with nature right on your as the adjacent common has roaming sheep, deer plus a friendly black pig. The locals are lovely and the peace is superb to unwind to. There is also an additional BBQ area, which I don't recall seeing on the booking photos, which would be a nice addition to the listing. The area has plenty of amenities should you need anything, or just a wander. Ludlow is a good small town with plenty going on including a market plus Ludlow Castle. Ironbridge is an hour away but there is more than enough to keep you going all day there, so worth the drive. The access tracks off the main road have had a bit of a battering so follow the guidance notes provided and you should be fine. Cars with lower ground clearance may get the off clunk underneath, but these can be driven around with care and the access tracks aren't that long once you have left the main road.

It was great to stay at a property that is obviously so well cared for and set up to such a high specification. Everything we needed was right there and it is rare to come across a holiday property that is so well equipped it even has free sheep!!. Th Christmas tree was a lovely addition which we are very greatful for as it really added to the atmosphere. We would definitely recommend Sunnyside and would love to visit again.

Beautifully presented house. Clean & comfortable. Couldn't of wished for better. Loved chilling out & relaxing. A good base in ehich to explore the area. Great place on edge of common so plenty of walks, wildlife & amazing amount of stars at night.

Lovely home, we had everything we needed! Enjoyed our walks and watching the sunset on the swings was just beautiful!

Sunnyside was a lovely, comfortable and clean house and we had a lovely couple of weeks stay there. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace when we had the chance and it was so peaceful being tucked away in the countryside. The road was a bit of an issue in my low car and I had to navigate carefully the only downside, but all in all a wonderful and relaxing stay. Thank you!

A fantastic place to stay! Property had everything we needed, all furniture and equipment to a very high spec! Property surrounded by loads of lovely walking routes! Balcony and decking areas gave great sun traps while also providing great shade when needed! Highly recommend 1010

Excellent accommodation in lovely surroundings. A very enjoyable holiday spent with the family.

Sunnyside is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. We had a wonderful quiet and peaceful stay a perfect place to unwind. There's plenty to do on the doorstep but it's also a great place to hang out especially on the sofas on the veranda. We'll certainly be looking to come back again.

Superb accommodation, the property has clearly been refurbished to a very high standard rather than to a budget. The setting is wonderful, looking out over the countryside from the verandah and balcony it is very quiet and peaceful, just the sound of the sheep calling and the cuckoo in the morning. The property was spotlessly clean and tidy. We would happily stay there again. One suggestion it would be helpful to alert potential guests to the rough track up to the cottage before they have committed to a booking low slung cars might have a problem negotiating it our estate car managed just fine.

We shared with the owner a need for clearer directions to locate the property. The holly bush should be cut to be able to see better the name.

A lovely house in beautiful surroundings. Everything was top notch from beds and towels to crockery and appliances. Couldnt have wished for a better place to relax and unwind. Just sorry that the weather wasnt quite warm enough to enjoy time on the balconies.

Lovely property in a peaceful location. Clean and comfortable with plenty of seating. Great outdoor space too. Enjoyable walks from the door and good local food and drink.

The accommodation was very comfortable. The kitchen well equipped and the shower and bath were lovely. We only used the Master bedroom which was very nice. We were lucky with the weather but the track to reach the cottage could be more of a problem if it was wet or snowyicy. Very, very quiet and peaceful.

Very nice and clean as you see in the pictures you will find in the cottage. The owner is very helpful and directly answer when need them. Very nice place and great location 100 recommended this for all and sure Ill be back to stay again

Fantastic place perfect settling couldnt of asked for a better stay will definitely be returning. Highly recommended

Given the Rural location, Internet speed was poor. However this is only the fault of BT ! It's worth considering, if you want to stream movies as we did on the evenings. Everything else was absolutely fantastic ! Loved every min ! Thankyou

A wonderful and well presented property couldn't of asked for anything more, and in a lovely part of the country

Absolutely loved the house, the location and all the thoughtful things the owners have done to ensure guests have a comfortable stay.

Amazing place in a amazing location must be seen to appreciate
