Moira and Max, Isle of Islay, August 2010

This is most definitely one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in! Lovely and peaceful and weather good enough to eat outside most nights. This was our first visit to Shrewsbury/Shropshire and we were really impressed by the quantity and quality of things to visit. Our top things were Blists Hill Victorian Town, Walking on the Stiperstones and Powys Castle. We will certainly be coming back here as there are lots of things we didnt get to see.

For the third time we have come to stay at Acorn Cottage. We love the setting, an oasis within a large town. Bird song to listen to and a marvellous display by two male pheasants.

Amanda and family, London, March 2010

We ve enjoyed a short break in Acorn Cottage.

Steve and Dorothy, Lancs, March 2010

We have very much enjoyed exploring this part of Shropshire. Seen much but not all, we hope to return sometime. It suited us very well to be within walking distance of the town yet staying where it is so quiet it could easily be in the middle of the countryside miles from anywhere. A lovely cottage warm and cosy with all amenities and a beautiful outlook. We have no hesitation in reccomending it.

Kath and Jerry, South Yorkshire, March 2010

We came for our anniversary weekend and the setting was perfect. The cottage is lovely and the surroundings were quiet, but we were able to walk to the supermarket and the town. We had everything we needed in the cottage and its beautifully decorated. The information book was very useful, we hope to visit again soon.

Tom and Sarah, London, March 2010

We had a brilliant half term break in Oak Cottage. The setting was serene- very peaceful, but close to the town centre. We particularly enjoyed the circular walks around the local area and the closeness to the town centre restaurants.

Dave and Liz, Yorkshire, February 2010

We booked all 3 cottages for New Year and as a base for a family wedding held at Adcote. The cottages were perfect and we had a great time celebrating this very special occasion. The lovely garden dusted with frost each bright cold morning was beautiful setting to wake up to. We hope to return to see more of Shrewsbury and the Shropshire countryside.

The Wood Family, Various Locations, January 2010

We have spent a very relaxing Christmas in your beautiful cottage. Everything we needed was here and it was easy to walk into town if we didnt want to take the car. What a beautiful spot we will reccomend Acorn Cottage to all our freinds.
