A roll-top bath and walk-in shower can be found in the bathroom for an indulgent soak, servicing the remaining bedrooms.

For a quaint and colourful day out, Shrewsbury is an excellent choice, where you'll find a beautiful collection of Edwardian and Victorian buildings, as well as a selection of independent shops, eateries, and pubs for you to enjoy; whilst in the area, fill your time with touring Shrewsbury Abbey, Shrewsbury Prison, and Shrewsbury Castle, set near River Severn.

Shire Cottage Reviews

Pauline

We had a lovely stay at Shire Cottage and were very satisfied with the facilities. The kitchen was well equipped and the conservatory dining area was a lovely place to sit, eat, drink, chat and play games. The kitchen has an air fryer and a slow cooker which would have been handy to know in advance. Also we did not have any pods for the coffee machine. We all enjoyed the hot tub and would happily recommend the property. We were 6 adults, 2 small children and 2 small dogs. The only improvement I would suggest would be replacing the brown settee with something more comfortable as it is too low.

Fenella

Shire Cottage was a lovely family space, and the owner was quick to answer queries luckily we had the weather to enjoy sitting outside. Sadly the cottage is in need of a little general maintenance to make it feel worth the money charged loose slabs in the path from the parking area to the front door, broken baseboards under cupboards in a number places, kitchen tap very loose, looroll holder coming off the wall in the principle bedroom, loopans in 2 bedrooms very badly stained, games space has a leaky roof so there was a large puddle making it difficult for the children to play tabletennis, garden overgrown, black paint peeling off the wall in the patio area, all things that can be quickly rectified, and then the Cottage would be as welcoming as we had anticipated. I appreciate that this is information the owner might not aware of, and would prefer to action rather than publishing, but felt it important to point out. If left, it will continue to deteriorate even further. It certainly tainted our few days away.

Claire

Shire cottage is a lovely place to stay hot tub was an added bonus. Beautiful surroundings comfortable beds and furniture and a perfect break for the Easter Weekend. Fab kitchen ideal for cooking for a large family with plenty of kitchen essentials. Did not want to leave.

Suhail

The pictures really do not do this place justice! Amazing family Christmas shared here and we would do it all again next year if available! 5 stars
