We were 26 in total with ages from 16 months to 80 years. The weekend was to celebrate the recent 80th birthdays of Sheila and Tony, who have been married for 55 years.
This is a marvellous location and Eaton Manor lived up to its reputation for providing a marvellous experience. The facilities are first class and everyone left on Sunday with the feeling they had experienced a unique and special weekend.
The highlight was a dinner and Saturday night with laughter and happiness was enjoyed by all.
Well done Eaton Manor (you go the extra mile!)
Had a lovely stay at Curlew Cottage with seven fab ladies for my hen do.
A great cosy cottage that has allowed us to relax together and have a giggle!
Loved the big dining table – we sat around it most of the weekend.
Eaton Manor helped me organise a really fun dance class on site and a beautiful meal in the cottage on the Saturday night – a perfect mix of activities and chilling out!
The cottage had everything we needed – very well stocked and lots of lovely bathrooms for all us ladies!
Would love to come back!
Tash’s hen weekend.
Thank you Laura for all your wonderful help, and Nichola too for answering all our random questions! We had a wonderful time – amazing facilities and we loved all the little touches – hairdryers in every bedroom, ice in the freezer, cake on arrival!
An amazing weekend in a beautiful setting. Brilliant setting and brilliant accommodation, it couldn’t have been any better. We all loved it and would love to come back!
Curlew Cottage is absolutely perfect.
The facilities in the bedrooms are just what we needed and the extras – milk, tea bags, kitchen roll (not to mention the homemade cake) and lots of other thoughtful extras made us feel really welcome.
The area round about is beautiful and we can recommend the “Bottle and Glass” in Picklescott for an excellent meal.
The Birch Family.
This review covers the three houses we rented, The Manor House, Curlew Cottage and Toad Hall .
We were all delighted with the accommodation and the generous provision of space and activities we could enjoy as and when we pleased – it gave us absolute freedom.
We had 33 people in our party this year ranging from 1 to 85 and would like to go back in 2 years time when there will probably be nearer 40 of us, so thank you.
.
We stayed in Pendennis for my husband’s 40th celebrations with 3 generations of family. The accommodation was perfect for our needs as there were 3 toddlers, 2 very active boys, and adults of all ages. The property is all on one level, with a great garden, fantastic views, large lawn where a lot of football was played and a pool at the end of the garden, what more can you ask for, thank you!
A few minutes walk down the lane and you have the games room which was brill, again catering for all ages and we had lots of fun playing rounders on the playing field. The badminton court was an added bonus!
The accommodation was lovely, very well equipped kitchen and everything was extremely clean. The beds were comfy and showers great. Plenty of room to relax in the conservatory and we managed to eat in the garden for most meals.
The great thing about Eaton Manor estate is that you don’t have to leave for the whole weekend, you have all the entertainment you need for a family so completely relaxing and my boys had a brilliant time. We will hold fond memories of our weekend here and hope to return one day.
Thank you from,
The Durkans, Bristol, Lake District and Manchester.
Hello Nichola,
Where do I start?! A big thank you to you and all your team for a wonderful, fault free, perfect weekend. The setting was glorious, the Manor and Curlew above all expectations. The atmosphere at the Manor added so much to everyone’s enjoyment and by the time Jane came to cook for us everyone was in party mood! She and Zoe did a fantastic job especially knowing that Jane was going to have such an early start on Sunday! The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all and the evening continued with hilarious party games. Hope we didn’t keep you awake with all our laughter!!
The pool was enjoyed as was the games room. Young and old were amazed at the size of it and all joined in with one game or another. At one time the joint age playing table tennis was 320 yrs!!
Not bad eh!!
Max and Teddy ….the dogs. ……enjoyed the walks too but Teddy, the labradoodle, couldn’t cope with the stile so had to turn back but he still enjoyed his freedom.
I could go on for ever Nichola but you know what a lovely venue you have and all it offers, not forgetting the horse and trap trip with my sister, Roma and my two grandaughters, Mia and Evie who loved every minute of it!
Thank you again for sharing your beautiful 500 acres with us. We will be back!!
Kind regards Jo and family.
P.s. My son Ian and daughter in law Tracey even arranged a meeting on Skype with my brother and family in Spain…..a complete surprise.
Definitely a weekend to remember!!
Here we are again for our fourth visit!
Thanks for another great weekend – everything up to the usual high standard we now know we can rely on.
A few changes – like the welcome “fizz” were very much appreciated and got the weekend off to a great start.
We’ve leaving once more with some memories to treasure and looking forward to our next visit.
The “Eaton Manor Weekend” is now established as one of our family rituals and a date we all anticipate with great excitement.
Long may it continue!
The Mann Family
I should like to thank you again for all you and your team did to make my mother’s 90th birthday weekend such a wonderful event for us all.
We feel so lucky to find Eaton Manor by chance and will certainly return!
We were so pleased with Mum’s birthday dinner. Jane and Sandra were so helpful with feeding the children separately and her food was really appreciated and enjoyed by everyone!
Eaton Manor is a fantastic venue. We used the Banqueting Room for a party for 50 people.
Everything was brilliant – from the day we booked the helpful staff couldn’t do enough, from sourcing caterers to a magician, to taking an itemised shopping list and putting every item in the place we needed it.
The accommodation is really lovely, all of our guests were really impressed, and it’s practical, so you don’t have to worry about damaging carpets/dirty shoes/a spillage – everything has been thought about.
We couldn’t have had a better weekend and wouldn’t have changed a thing!
Thanks all!
We spent the Easter Weekend 2016 here (4 nights, arriving Thursday late afternoon and leaving 2pm Easter Monday)
This was a family get together, with 5 adults and 4 children ages 7, 8 and 9 years.
The property was spacious and very well appointed with large private garden and patio area with outside furniture. It was ideal for a mix of ages – grandparents, parents and children and enough space not to be on top of each other.
We loved the fact that there were several walks directly from the property and others at a short distance away.
The children loved the games room (and the freedom to go along to it on their own!) and playing badminton in the high barn.
We have had a wonderful stay in Garden Cottage. The facilities are excellent and we have enjoyed sitting in the garden when the sun has been out.
We had two sessions of Nordic Walking with Adrianna, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
A great gem in the Shropshire Hills, we enjoyed our stay a lot.
What a beautiful cottage and great facilities. We’ve had a really lovely holiday. The local walks are beautiful – thanks for the maps!
The warm welcome from everyone has been great and the personal touches, such as a welcoming cake, just add to the specialness.
Powis Castle was worthy of the journey into Wales, Shrewsbury is a beautiful town. Ludlow very quaint and Much Wenlock is just amazing; trapped in a time long ago.
The Bottle & Glass is an excellent place to eat and drink and The Green Dragon has rib-eye steak second to none!
Thank you for a brilliant holiday, we’ll be back!
Not our first time at Eaton Manor, but first time in Garden Cottage. Perfectly comfortable and attractive cottage. Lovely garden, peaceful with baby birds, deer in the evening and bird song, just perfect.
Visited Blists Hill Victorian Village, Coalport, Ironbridge, Carding Mill and Shrewsbury – all very enjoyable.
We have already booked for 2017.
Thank you to all at Eaton Manor for a lovely break.
We had Toad Hall, Curlew Cottage and this beautiful Garden Cottage for our stay.
Wow, it still impresses us each time we come. Our 3rd visit and just love it here. With 23 of us it caters perfectly for all of us. Here this time to celebrate x2 50ths, x2 21sts, 18th, 75th and 70th birthdays with all the family, just perfect thank you!
This is the first time in Garden Cottage, you have done it so well. The detail is stunning.
We had lots of plans to walk and visit other towns but we just chilled out and enjoyed the games room and all being together.
We will be back!
On behalf of my family I want to thank you and staff for an absolutely fantastic stay at Eaton Manor. Our every need was catered for and all the lovely touches added. Thank you for the cake and wine that was left on arrival, it was a lovely surprise.
All the children loved Eaton Manor, the games room and swimming pool especially. The accommodation at Pendennis was perfect for us all. The garden was ideal for the children and our little dog. We’ve all had a truly wonderful and memorable holiday.
Thanks again
The Ezard Family
We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate a special birthday with the family. The house was well equipped including baby/toddler packs which have everything you’d need for young children (aged 1, 2 & 3) and this was really appreciated. We used the services of many of the local suppliers recommended by Eaton Manor team; decorations and balloons, a birthday cake, beer from the local Woods Brewery and our on-line supermarket groceries had all been delivered/unpacked as promised ahead of our arrival. A really seamless service! We also used the drop off suppers for our arrival evening, with the Chef visiting to cook a special birthday dinner and Sunday brunch in the kitchen which was a real treat. For extra entertainment, Sonny the Magician performed his magic show for all ages and made animal balloons for the children to keep.
Tranquil countryside setting and beautiful scenery.
Nothing was too much trouble for Nichola who was friendly and on hand whilst being discreet had we needed anything during our stay (although we didn’t experience any problems or issues).
The garden and the pool were perfect especially as we had young children. The Games room entertainment got good use and little details like the fancy dress box were so much fun for the toddlers.
I think they’ve thought of everything a family needs whilst they are away on holiday, we all had an amazing time and will have special memories. Thank you. We’d love to visit again.
We have all enjoyed our stay at Eaton Manor very much for our family summer holiday of 3 generations.
Excellent facilities – home from home.
We ate out at The Green Dragon and The White House and can highly recommend both.
We also has Milly (the chef) come to cater one night which was fantastic and definitely worth doing. We booked archery too and our coach Tom was excellent. The games room is brilliant and we all loved using it.
The guys in the office were extremely helpful and responsive when we needed them.
We hope to return one day.
We were a family of three generations and two dogs celebrating a 60th birthday and stayed for the weekend beginning 30th September 2016. A text was sent from the first to arrive to those still en route which said “beautiful” and this was no exaggeration. All periphery items e.g. kitchen towel, toilet rolls, soap, tea/coffee/sugar and even a selection of herbs and spices were there in sufficient quantities for our needs. The cottage was spotlessly clean and all towels, linen and kitchen utensils and equipment were first class.
The enclosed garden was wonderful for the children and dogs to play and the weather was so kind we were able to have Sunday Lunch outside. The games room and other facilities were wonderful and enjoyed by all.
The setting and views are breath taking as well as the walks. We even managed to attend the Harvest Festival in the little church down the lane which was rather beautiful. Two of our group did go to the Wellbeing Centre and of course the swimming pool was a hit with the children.
Cathy and I loved it so much we are checking availability to stay in Garden Cottage next year (we had a little peep through the windows).
Thank you all at Eaton Manor for a wonderful time.
We would just like to say a big THANK YOU for a most wonderful stay. You could not have done any more. The accommodation in both Toad Hall and Curlew Cottage was far beyond our expectations and certainly matched any good first class hotel we have stayed in. The entire premises was so clean and well maintained and you had thought of everything.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our 40th Wedding Anniversary celebrations go so smoothly.
We will be back and will certainly recommend your fantastic establishment.
Our first stay at Eaton Manor staying in Woodpecker Way. Eaton Manor came highly recommended by our daughter who had stayed in Garden Cottage. We have loved it here and found the staff and cottage first class. We brought our dog with us and there were so many extras for him.
A visit to Ludlow is recommended, lovely town and very historical. Also Church Stretton is worth a visit, great antique shop/market and lovely coffee shop.
The walks are great, but we had rain so didn’t go as far as we would have liked to.
We will definitely be back.
We had a very enjoyable stay here. Accommodation is first class, locals are friendly and helpful.
Archery range was awesome.
Beautiful weather while we were here too. Will definitely be coming back!
What a perfect Shropshire retreat! So well equipped, beautifully located and above all peaceful… As a writer’s ‘bolthole’ this is absolutely on song. I’ve written 40,000 words here so will be back!
We would like to say how much we enjoyed our stay in Toad Hall, the accommodation was superb and the whole family also enjoyed the pool and games room.
It was an ideal place for our family and we loved the area.
We would definitely recommend Eaton Manor to our friends.
Throughout our short stay we have been blessed with beautiful weather. A real bonus – lovely sunshine, warm and it made our stay even more enjoyable.
A trip to Ironbridge was most rewarding, a wonderful historical place to visit for sure!
Evenings spent relaxing here in wonderful late sunshine with much wildlife present – pheasants, many birds, little shrews dotting about with Ellie, our Cocker Spaniel fascinated by all of this. She loved it too I guess!
Ludlow was visited as well. Nice place, lively market square, dog friendly town too.
Accommodation here first class, everything to hand. Location superb, so quiet.
Overall, a very relaxing break and we would most definitely return.
We were lucky to stay in Pheasant Walk for three weeks. No matter which kind of weather, windy, rainy or sunny, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. For those who love walking, there are lovely walks around Pheasant Walk as well as in the surrounding area.
You might be lucky in enjoying lovely views from the top of the Long Mynd, especially in late evenings.
Bird watching can be done at Venus Pool (South East of Shrewsbury) but there is also a bird hide in the area of Wenlock Edge.
In addition there are several buildings/estates run by the National Trust which are worth a visit.
Due to the well equipped kitchen we did a lot of cooking, but we would also recommend The Station Inn in Marshbrook.
Thank you to Nichola and all her team at Eaton Manor for this lovely home from home.
We have had a simply wonderful time celebrating Michael’s 80th birthday here at Toad Hall and Curlew Cottage.
On arrival to find wine and cakes, and everything else to make our stay just perfect, was such a delight.
We all made full use of the games provided, and 18 out of 21 of us had a session of Archery, and how great was that!
Your recommended caterer provided a lovely meal for us and after all the exercise was a welcome break not to have to prepare it ourselves.
The weather, too, early evening was perfect for celebratory drinks, photos etc, so most certainly a weekend to remember.
The countryside is wonderful and was a real change for all our family scattered around England to explore.
Thank you so much for Eaton Manor and to all who have made it what it is today.
Outstanding Stay.
Everything about Great Western and Eaton Manor was excellent. We had no complaints at all. Highly recommend.
This was our first visit to Eaton Manor Estate, although we have previously stayed elsewhere in Shropshire. From the friendly welcome (despite our late arrival) to the well-equipped and ideally located cottage, Woodpecker Way was perfect for our needs, with the peace and quiet were looking for.
The accommodation provided everything we needed, and was without question one of the best we’ve encountered, and even included taking delivery and unpacking our grocery order, which was greatly appreciated.
We found the location of the property ideal for visiting places such as Shrewsbury and Ludlow. We visited Ludlow for the Food Festival, and it was a great experience.
We would also recommend some of the local walks around the estate, as shown in the Guest Information folder, and we particularly enjoyed visiting St Edith’s Church at Eaton.
We’d like to come back again for a longer visit, as this was just a short break.
-
Don’t delay, book your half term break today. The summer holidays may be over, but on the bright side half term is not too far away, so if you haven’t booked your break yet then we have some availability left, and you’ll be sure of a fun filled stay at Eaton Manor whatever the weather….
