Absolutely perfect location, parking wasnât an issue and we drive a pick-up! The house itself is so well appointed and comfortable, everything in it is high quality and so well designed with features like dimmable lighting and robes and slippers. The hosts were really communicable and thoughtful. Really comfortable bed and youâll want for nothing in the kitchen. I could go on but I donât think I need to- it was perfect!

The welcome goodies were a lovely touch, as were the dressing gowns and slippers. The location was perfect, with a lovely view of the river and only 10 minutes' walk to the independent shops, restaurants and pubs of Shrewsbury town centre. A couple of minor suggestions... It would be helpful to have an additional small towel each, and also if the induction hob instructions could mention checking the child lock isn't on before using!

The accommodation is superbly located. Close to centre of Shrewsbury but still peaceful. Great food and drink a matter of yards away. All the facilities of high quality and the beds so comfortable. Welcome pack much appreciated. Finally the river frontage is marvellous so relaxing to sit with a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Can't recommend highly enough.
