An excellent venue for Mum’s 85th birthday, with all the children, grand children and great-grandchildren! Everyone had a great time. Wonderful house, beautiful scenery and a very warm welcome. Looking forward to next time.
The Mann Family, The Manor House (Oct 2012)
Beautifully quiet and a relaxing few days. The cake was wonderful and a great touch! Many thanks for the chance to enjoy the peace and quiet away from the ‘big smoke’ in London. Lots of lovely walks and the weather mainly held (except for a few hail showers!) A great few days recovery.

Lovely weekend in a beautiful house! Rather wet walk over Wenlock Edge, but rewarded by a wonderful lunch at The Crown at Munslow – highly recommended. Children enjoyed the Games Room. Adults had a fabulous 1970′s party to celebrate Howard’s 40th Birthday. Many Thanks!
Howard’s 40th Birthday, The Manor House
Our third visit to Eaton Manor and still as glorious. 14 of us ranging from 3 months to an 82 year old. We only ventured out three times during the week as everyone was happy to enjoy being here. Thank you for the cake and wine and all the little touches like the childrens’ game … Read full testimonial

A lovely holiday had by all. Lovely bungalow with beautiful surroundings. Thank you for the very welcome pack and for storing away all our shopping. Comfortable beds and plenty of hot water. Need to come again to explore more of the countryside – a week is not long enough. Shropshire is a well kept secret. … Read full testimonial

Stayed at Pendennis for my hen weekend and had a fantastic time! The views are fab and the property is lovely. We particularly loved the quiet and how secluded we were! And the stars…… Amazing!
Lorna & Her Hens, Pendennis (Sept 2012)
Amazing weekend yet again, 4th year running and many more to come! Beautiful weather and some quality time spent in the garden with a Pimms or two! Thank you so much for arranging the tables (for crafting on), they make our weekend fab! Bubbly Funkers! x

Don’t want to go home! Wonderful weekend in celebration of our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The children made good use of the games room.

Had a great weekend here, the cottage is well laid out and the swimming pool a real treat. Would recommend Ludlow for a visit – can’t see that Prince Charles will visit while you are there though like he did when we went! Wenlock worth a visit and on the way there drop into the … Read full testimonial
The Daniels Family, Eaton Cottage
Eaton Cottage is by far the best place we have ever stayed in. A perfect countryside retreat. Every detail is thought of, from the perfect manicured garden, the secluded pool to the beautiful sponge cake on arrival. Church Stretton is a lovely place to visit and to eat at. We recommend a visit to Carding … Read full testimonial

Need to come again to explore more of the countryside – a week is not long enough. Shropshire is a well kept secret. Children enjoyed the swimming pool whilst we prepared meals in the well supplied kitchen.

Such Fun!

The Daniels Family, Eaton Cottage

Had a great weekend here, the cottage is well laid out and the swimming pool a real treat. Would recommend Ludlow for a visit – can’t see that Prince Charles will visit while you are there though like he did when we went! Wenlock worth a visit and on the way there drop into the Wenlock Edge Inn – warm, welcoming, great food and good choice of Ales and Cider.

Stokesay Castle is well worth seeing, we had such a great welcome by the staff and the castle is compact but very historical.

This cottage is in a great location for seeing so much, we will have to return as we have missed so much.

The Ballard Family, Eaton Cottage

Eaton Cottage is by far the best place we have ever stayed in. A perfect countryside retreat. Every detail is thought of, from the perfect manicured garden, the secluded pool to the beautiful sponge cake on arrival. Church Stretton is a lovely place to visit and to eat at. We recommend a visit to Carding Mill Valley and also the town of Ludlow with its wonderful castle. But overall this cottage is a great place to stay whilst on our travels in Shropshire. Perfection!!!

The Smith Family, Curlew Cottage

We have had a very relaxing week here at Eaton Manor. The weather has been pretty good, kids loved the small pool here. We recommend walking in the Longmynd area and the Stiperstones. Good pub food at the Ragleth Inn (Little Stretton) also Housmans & Berry’s in Church Stretton. For active youngsters Drummond Outdoor Canoes Shrewsbury and Border Quad Biking at Halfway House (a nice family firm).

Well equipped accommodation, clean and peaceful location. Cake and wine on arrival were much appreciated. Quiet country roads also well appreciated. It was great to sit out on the patio on a few sunny afternoons. Thanks to Eaton Manor we had a fine holiday. Staff very helpful too. Explorer map very useful.

PS: Nice to see so many swallows & butterflies in the garden.

School Friends’ Re-union, Curlew Cottage (May 2012)

5 of us who were all at school together “sometime ago” met up here for a reunion get-together and to celebrate a certain “noughty” birthday! We found Curlew Cottage very comfortable and it seemed to have everything for our needs. All of us were ecstatic over the stunning views we enjoyed on our walks – both short and long (ish). The weather was good enough for us to sit out in the garden with our early evening tipples.

So pleased that Melinda who organised the event found Eaton Manor and their website!

It was a lovely welcome to find a home-made cake on arrival. I shall certainly be recommending you to others.

Birthday Treat, Woodpecker Way

Have had a lovely relaxing holiday. Woodpecker Way is very comfortable, furnished to a very high standard with everything we could wish for.

Thank you for your warm welcome and the homemade cake. We loved the swimming pool which we had to ourselves for the first four days.

It was a great way to celebrate Jill’s birthday.

We hope to return.

Steve R. & Friends, The Manor House (Feb 2013)

We came to stay,
On one fine day,
A group of friends,
From far away.

New Zealand, Canada,
Australia too,
Of us Brits,
There few but few.

In your fine Manor,
We had a ball,
We ate and drank,
And indulged some more.

Viscount Steve turned 35,
He drank a lot but still survived,
Feeling withered this morning after,
A few grey hairs but still with laughter.

We thank you all,
For providing cake,
Fondest memories,
We will take.

The house is sublime,
As was the wine,
We leave you now
And we feel just fine.

Nigel J. & Friends, Toad Hall (Mar 2013)

A very cold start to the holiday luckily made better by all the wonderful help we received from the lovely Nichola and her father, Tony. They made every effort to go out of their way to help our group of nine when the snow fell so heavily we were actually stranded a few miles away from Eaton Manor. We would like to thank both of them for all their wonderful help, including helping us find a ‘rescue’ truck and for Tony braving the snow in his pick-up truck to collect us, and to Nichola who helped us with our shopping over the next few days, and for collecting a member of our party from the train station when none of us could get out!

We all had an amazing time in this beautiful house surrounded by the pretty countryside, none of us could have asked for more, we all felt so comfortable straight way and could have quite happily stayed longer.

Thank you again for helping with the decorations and to the amazing chefs who made my father’s 60th brithday a very special day. The food was delicious and we would highly recommend them to anyone staying at the wonderful Toad Hall.
