House had a lot of character , great location

N/A

Spacious and in a great location

Very difficult to control water temperature in the shower . Unfortunately we had an infestation of flying ants that left their nest one night . Was horrifying but aware you can’t control nature, we were supplied with powder and traps the next day but every morning we always had a few but nothing compared to that one evening .

This is an exceptional location by the river and close to everything you could possibly need. We loved staying in such a spacious, historic house so near to the centre of Shrewsbury. Amazing that you have space to park right outside, too!

For us (who like to cook) the fridge was quite small, but that wouldn't be a problem if you want to eat out - and there are certainly a lot of good options nearby.

The property itself is a really quirky Grade II listed building. Lovely location in Shrewsbury, everything you need within a short walk and parking on the property which is a nice bonus. Inside the property you'll be greeted with nice old tiled floors, low doors and wonky stairs which we all round charming. The bottle of wine was a nice touch that my partner enjoyed.

**In the interest of transparency before I list the negatives - We would like to apologise as we forgot to empty the fridge leaving my beers (heart broken) along with sealed packets of bacon and sausages - the cleaner may not even realise this and the next guest will have a nice surprise!!** Negatives - Whilst the property is lovely and old that is no excuse for cleanliness.......especially with the price we paid for 2 nights over New Years we expected better. We didnt see any point in bothering the owner over New Year as realistically there is nothing they could've done in such a short time, and likewise moving elsewhere wasnt an option with it being New Year. We haven't stayed anywhere on Booking.Com or like sites which have needed such a deep clean. There were cobwebs everywhere.........especially in almost every light fitting and lots of corners of rooms. The kitchen floor was in a shocking state. Corners of the kitchen were stinking and we swept the main area ourselves before taking our shoes off. As seems to have been mentioned on here for over a year.....the shower is extremely poor. Two options - you can have scolding hot or freezing cold. As an adult of 47 years of age i am confident I know how to use a shower........and these were the only two options. Under the beds in the twin room were extremely dusty and there were old towels under one of the beds too (although they appeared unused) The toaster in the kitchen didnt work to add to the list. As previously stated one of the lamps in the twin room is clearly just for show as despite having a plug theres no where for it to be plugged in. Whilst the parking is great.......watch where you stand. The parking area particularly to the right had lots of animal (believe cat) mess. You wouldn't want to get that on your shoes before getting into you car. All in all if the property were to have a DEEP clean and shower sorted this could be a gem of a property!!
