Very well presented , loved the decor, and the open plan kitchen / living area was a great space to all be together. Our host was also very accommodating and helpful. It was in a great location , once we'd parked we didn't need the car for the rest of the weekend, some gorgeous bars and resteraunts, very impressed with shrewsbury as well as the gorgeous house.

I am not one for leaving bad reviews but really feel I had no choice here as the owner not only has no regard for his guestâs safety or cares if they have a comfortable stay, but he has ignored me and made me out to be a liar! The place is advertised as âluxuryâ. I can see how maybe it once was, as itâs thoughtfully decorated and itâs in a great location - however itâs tired and not in a great state of repair (dirty marks on the walls / damaged furniture etc). The whole place needs a thorough deep clean. The ownerâs standard of cleanliness are simply not up to scratch, as even when I presented him with photos (filthy fridge seals / kitchen cupboards with food debris / mouldy bathroom tiles etc), he brushed it off as nothing. For me, a place being clean is one of the most important factors in a holiday rental and our whole party felt uneasy with how unclean it was - particularly the kitchen. We had a 2 nights stay and on our last night we returned to the property late at night to find a leak from the living room ceiling. It had damaged some of our things that were on the table and appeared to be coming from the ceiling light, which was extremely worrying. When raised with the owner, he brushed this off as nothing, as he did with all the other concerns I raised. Looking back at previous reviews, which I wish Iâd done before booking, this is clearly an on going issue that hasnât been resolved. The leak happens in heavy rain. Frankly, itâs an accident waiting to happen - itâs dangerous and shouldnât be rented to guests until resolved!!
