The Courtyard Reviews

Philip

Very good clean accommodation in a very picturesque location, very well equipped.

This annex was beautiful lovely and comfortable the hot tub was great and very peaceful area.

Billie

We had a wonderful relaxing time here at the courtyard. The cottage was beautifully presented and had everything we needed, bin bags, washing up liquid ect. It was my mom's first time at a cottage and she was very impressed and loved it. My only negative comment was on the second day when we went to use the hot tub, at the bottom was all black bits. We didn't see it the day before we we didn't use it until dark, but we felt it, I genuinely believe it's bits from the jets but either way it wasn't nice to sit on it. Other than this everything else was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at the courtyard. It was a warm ,comfortable ,clean , modern and beautifully decorated . The hot tub and the lovely garden are lovely too.we certainly made use of both . A lovely holiday and we would definitely recommend it .

Was a really nice place to stay very comfortable and it was very clean and well ... Was a really nice place to stay very comfortable and it was very clean and well looked after, would definitely recommend for anyone that wants a nice weekend getaway

An amazing weekend stay this weekend. The courtyard did not disappoint, we didnt have to move all weekend with the kitchen facilities we were able to cook whatever we needed! The property itself was spotless & had everything needed at hand. The hot tub was a dream, a dip in the morning and a relax in the night. Will definitely be recommending & will be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Louise

Perfect, peaceful getaway. Lovely clean spacious rooms, hot tub is bliss! Freezing cold and windy out but with 37.5 water it didn't matter!! My only comment would be some fairy lights around it would be magical. A lovely welcome gift awaited us and it was just good to relax away from it all. Would highly recommend

Gorgeous property. Idyllic, spotless and private. The hot tub was dreamy. Being able to use it whenever we wanted was an absolute blessing.

Jessica

Loved the property, felt homely and had everything we needed. The hot tub and gifts when we arrived made it feel classy and definitely worth the price. What wouldve made it even better is if there were fairy lights or so round near the hot tub to save having on the brighter light just a recommendation not a complaint.

Lovely property. Highly recommended.

Lovely little place, nice and cosy! Hot tub was nice and relaxing and the weekend was just what we needed. A nice gesture of Prosecco and chocolates as a welcome gift we enjoyed the chocs but were not Prosecco drinkers unfortunately Lovely views and location. Will definitely be back x

Kayleigh

Absolutely beautiful accommodation. Highly recommend

Georgina

The courtyard is a Fabulous little retreat with everything you need for a short stay away. The prosecco and chocolates were a lovely surprise too! We really valued our Privacy throughout our stay. A couple of suggestions would be to install a long mirror and a lamp as lighting was a little bright in the evening. Other than that, perfect! Even though we didn't meet you, we felt very welcome! We will return.

Had a lovely weeks stay at the courtyard, its the perfect place to relax, the hot tub being a great extra. Very easy to find and the views from the farm and a little walk along the lane are amazing! Loved the little shops on the high street, especially choctillys and the pie shop. Great location with lots of points of interest very close by. A hidden gem.

Hi, we loved our Anniversary weekend at The Courtyard. The size of the accommodation was just right for two, and thank you so much for the welcome pack. Came in handy on the first evening as we arrived too late to eat out. Amazing bed too, and more than large enough to accommodate two plus size occupants. The location and views were amazing. A few constructive points of possible improvements 1. The hot tub was not as private as we thought it would be. Windows overlooked the area even though the curtains were sensitively closed during our stay. There was also no lock code in your information pack for the straps holding the cover down. We were also put off by workers going back and forth just outside the gate I realise it is a working farm, but it wasn't exactly a relaxing atmosphere. It was a pity as we had looked for accommodation with a hot tub specifically, as I have Fibromyalgia so thought it would help. 2. No info was provided with regards to local pubsrestaurantssightseeing. Would have loved some recommendations from the owner to best eateries. We ended up at the Gaskell Arms, which we found to have a very basic dated menuinterior, and an older clientele, but with very good food. All in all though, we would still recommend the Courtyard to anyone wanting a romantic relaxing getaway.

Lovely place, just right for a couple. Peaceful and quiet. The hot tub is amazing. This was our first holiday since Covid and we felt perfectly safe. High standard of cleanliness throughout property. We were on a walking and meet up with family holiday. The hot tub a blessing after all those hills. Lovely surprise of welcome pack with prosecco and chocolates. Our privacy was respected and any questions answered promptly. Keep doing what your doing Will your place is lovely. Thank you Erica and Steve.

Really nice holiday accommodation, very clean and very comfortable. Lovely location. I highly recommend it. Excellent value for money. I nearly forgot, fantastic hot tub especially while enjoying the complimentary bottle of Prosecco.

Graeme

The Court Yard filled all our requirements and more, an excellent clean and well presented property in which to relax and unwind. The Court Yard is well positioned to enable local walks in the surrounding country side, including Wenlock Edge, and then return back to, in order to take advantage of the well proportioned hot tub, to relax and ease your limbs from the days exertions. The Court Yard has all modern fixtures and fittings throughout, including the kitchen and the living area, it also has the advantage of being in an extremely quite location which also adds to the relaxing experience.

Hayley

Gorgeous cottage, really lovely location and excellent hot tub. We had a great stay, lots of places to visit nearby.

Great little place for couple or like us with a young baby, really clean and comfy. All you need for a few days stay and great location close to Bridgnorth and Shrewbury.

Pamela

Very cosy, clean and comfortable. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Dorothea

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay, the cottage was so lovely and cosy, and my partner and I had a lovely time! Thank you very much!

Absolutely amazing 5 nights stay from 20th Feb cosy and warm cottage and ... Absolutely amazing 5 nights stay from 20th Feb cosy and warm cottage and spotlessly clean and the added extra of the fabulous hot tub would highly recommend superb

The courtyard is a beautiful getaway for two. It was spotlessly clean on arrival. The bed was super comfy and the towels a touch of decadence. It was so relaxing and just what the doctor ordered. The hot tub was an incredible plus. Even the high winds didn't stop us from enjoying that. Would definitely recommend The Courtyard for that little secluded getaway.

Took me a while to find the property as it was a little difficult to see the sign in the dark but wow, what a beautiful place! Friendly hosts who respected privacy and the accommodation was beautiful with the bonus of the hot tub. Looking forward to booking again. Easily accessible for someone who is in recovery from a back injury so that was an added bonus. The welcome gifts were very thoughtful. The accommodation itself was done to a high standard and presentation and cleanliness were top class. I highly recommend this accommodation for anyone wanting to have an escape from day to day life or a romantic get away. Thank you

Bethany

Really cosy and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Jessica

We will definitely be staying again! Such a lovely place for a mini stay, wish we could have stayed a little longer! Everything was outstanding, the only let down was the hot tub not being at temperature when we arrived, my advice would be clean the hot tub first so it will be ready in time for the next occupants.

Natasha

Really late doing this review, however, I cant recommend this beautiful place enough! ! We stayed for 4 nights in November and honestly would come back in a heartbeat!! The place was absolutely spotless clean and was so cosy and homely! Beautiful decor and beautifully placed and thought out!! Plenty of places nearby to do! But fabulous little kitchen to stay in for the week, the host left a beautiful little welcome gift which was like an extra birthday present!! Our privacy was top notch!! The hot tub was fabulous!! If anyone who is looking for somewhere reads this review, please look no further because The Courtyard is amazing!!

Great place to stay. Very clean, well equipped with the added bonus of the hot tub. Would 100 recommend

We were happy with the facilities and cleanliness but we were extremely pleased with the hot tub!

Gorgeous place and location. Was clean and we felt safe during Covid19. Was a very relaxing stay that was needed with a comfy bed and gorgeous hot tub!

The Courtyard is a gorgeous little place. Very clean and well equipped for all your needs. The hot tub was brilliant. It is so secluded and although you are on a farm you could be the only 2 people in the world. Would really recommend it.

Lovely hosts, we had a small problem during our stay they were very responsive to message and we were soon sorted. Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed a fantastic week at the courtyard. The annex was comfortable, nicely decorated and relaxing. The hot tub is a great addition and was enjoyed after walking in the countryside. Lots to do within a 3040 minute drive, if you like to stretch your legs then there are walks around Much Wenlock and Slightly further a field, the Wrekin and Long Mynd. We Would definitely book again as a very peaceful location and felt very relaxed. Some nice touches including a welcome pack by the owner, who we spoke to on our last day and was very pleasant. If you are fortunate to get clear evening skies and like stargazing then you will not be disappointed as you soak in the hot tub.

Amazing short stay at the Courtyard, easy to find and in a great location for walking. The Hot Tub was great, the apartment clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great for couples and make sure you check out Bilash Indian restaurant in the town, the food was first class.

My husband and I stayed at The Courtyard for 7 nights, whilst exploring the local area. The accommodation was nice and private, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. It was the perfect place to relax, which was just what we wanted. We were even surprised with a bonus 2nd bottle of prosecco after the host found out that we were on honeymoon. Highly recommended, thank you!

Carole

Lovely, well equipped accommodation in a very pretty area. Ideal for visiting all Ironbridge museums and Much Wenlock has lots of History too. Very comfortable with all amenities including a great hot tub which is easy to use. The host was friendly and helpful but we still had privacy. A great base to explore a very picturesque area. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing holiday.
