Birthday Celebration, Eaton Manor Country Estate (Jan 2016)

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!

The Hill Family, Toad Hall (Easter 2016)

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.

The Adamson’s, Garden Cottage (April 2016)

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.

The Matthews’, Garden Cottage (May 2016)

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!

The Wilson’s, Garden Cottage (May 2016)

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.

The Lazenby’s, Garden Cottage (July 2016)

We had Toad Hall, Curlew Cottage and this beautiful Garden Cottage for our stay.

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!

The Ezard Family, Pendennis (July 2016)

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

The Wood Family, Toad Hall (July 2016)

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.

Three Families, The Manor House (July/August 2016)

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.

The Laws Family, Curlew Cottage (Oct 2016)

We were a family of three generations and two dogs celebrating a 60^th birthday and stayed for the weekend beginning 30^th 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.

The Maguire Family, Toad Hall & Curlew Cottage (Nov 2016)

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.

The Dunn’s, Woodpecker Way (Feb 2017)

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.

Y. Butler & C. Vince, Woodpecker Way (March 2017)

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!

F. Walker, Woodpecker Way (March 2017)

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!

The Sutherland’s, Toad Hall (April 2017)

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.

The Johnson’s, Woodpecker Way (May 2017)

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.

The Sinclairs, Pheasant Walk (May 2017)

Beautiful bungalow.
Beautiful environment.
Fantastic archery range.
Waitrose delivery excellent.
Can’t fault.
Will be back soon.

Belgian Guests, Pheasant Walk (June 2017)

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.

Extended Family Gathering, Toad Hall & Curlew Cottage (May 2017)

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.

Australian Visitors, Great Western (July 2017)

Outstanding Stay.

Everything about Great Western and Eaton Manor was excellent. We had no complaints at all. Highly recommend.

The Allans, Woodpecker Way (Sept 2017)

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.

Family Gathering, Pendennis (Sept 2017)

What a lovely place, just perfect for our family celebration, just wonderful.

We were a mixed family group from 3 to 76 years old. We made full use of the pre-cooked Supper delivery by Milly on arrival, wonderful chicken and mushroom pie, with plentiful vegetables.

When we booked we were given full information and as much telephone help as we needed on local services available and pre ordered birthday balloons from Jackos in Church Stretton and they were delivered before our arrival. Flowers from John Thompson arrived as promised the following morning.

We enjoyed the swimming pool and huge games room, croquet lawn etc. Never started the cars until we left. All was in walking distance, lovely garden and grounds, plus real country walks including Wenlock Edge.

As it was a special birthday event we booked chef, Milly, for dinner for all, wonderful food, cooked served and cleared for us.

We then had Sunday brunch cooked and served by Jenny from Oak Apple Catering, wow it was good the children just loved it as we all did.

There was a specially designed cake by Carol chic cakes, again local and delivered as promised, it again was so Good.

Everything was just so well thought of by Eaton Manor, we had the most wonderful and memorable weekend and will just have to go again.

Beds were comfortable too, could go on but it would bore you. Just try it!!

The Lowther Family, Curlew Cottage (Sept 2017)

A very comfortable and extremely well equipped cottage, in a beautiful location.

The free wheelchair loan was invaluable and we had great times in the games room. The Station Inn and The Green Dragon were good for pub food.

Accessible days out with a manual wheelchair included:

Wroxeter Roman Site
Chirk Castle
Attingham Park Estate
Wenlock Priory
Acton Scott (mobility scooter hire)
Carding Mill Valley has an accessible tearoom and shop but the paths are not suitable for a manual wheelchair.

We had a brilliant stay for 3 generations and would enthusiastically recommend it as a holiday destination.

Midweek Break, Garden Cottage (Oct 2017)

Our first visit.. Of hopefully many more.

We had a wonderful stay….It was perfect… Thank you for providing such an idyllic place to enjoy 🙂

50th Celebration, Pendennis (Nov 2017)

Had a fabulous weekend celebrating my 50^th birthday.

Lots of lovely touches, comfy beds. Drop off supper great value and quality. Chef Jane and her team made us an amazing meal. Everything was beautifully presented.

We will definitely be back.

Thank you,

USA Guest, Woodpecker Way (Nov 2017)

Thank you so much Laura, Nichola and staff for making my stay here such a BEAUTIFUL experience.

You pretty much anticipated every need I could have had and went above and beyond to make my trip here possible. Thank you so much!!!

I will miss this place and your warm smiles and look forward to my next visit.

Group from Cheshire, Toad Hall (Nov 2017)

The Cheshire set have returned to this lovely place and we are celebrating a Golden Wedding too! We have been to Much Wenlock and Ironbridge and enjoyed your beautiful scenery. In house meals were excellent – well done to Edward and Oak Apple, and Toad Hall was so comfortable and welcoming and immaculately appointed. Many thanks to you all.

The Nicholas Family, The Manor House (Christmas 2017)

Our 4^th stay on the estate and second time at the Manor House for our 3 generation family get together.

The house was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and garlands, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the carol service on Christmas Eve and a walk to the Plough Inn for a drink on Boxing day. The games room is always a hit with the children and we all enjoyed a badminton ‘tournament’.

Nice to see a smattering of snow on the hills as it was Christmas.

The Rees Family & Friends, The Manor House (Jan 2018)

We had an amazing weekend at the Manor House. A 60^th birthday to celebrate. It was perfect to accommodate family and friends.

We had Oak Apple Catering to cook for us a special meal on Saturday evening. The huge table in the dining room is very sociable to seat a large group.

The rooms are perfect all with en-suite bathrooms so we could all get ready at the same time.

We did a couple of walks from the house recommended in the guest book. We loved it.

Archery Group, Toad Hall (Jan 2018)

10 archers from Jersey. LOVED IT!!

Will we back next year.

THANK YOU

The Bah Family, Curlew Cottage (Jan 2018)

We are having an amazing stay at the cottage. Everyone is enjoying themselves in this well organised place. It is a fantastic escape from busy city life where we could relax and have free time. The environment that surrounds it is beautiful even at this time of year. This is an amazing experience. Thank you very much.

Bah family

The Kennedy Family, Pheasant Walk (Feb 2018)

Excellent 3 night stay; beautiful surroundings, fantastically well-equipped cottage and now we have to go back to the Big City.

We’ll just have to come back…

Family Stay, Great Western (June 2018)

The house is located deep in the beautiful Shropshire countryside with views to Wenlock Edge and across the expansive field behind the house and beyond. There are walks all around as well as the little swimming pool tucked away across a nearby field.

The house itself is modern, spacious with quality fittings and facilities – there were eight of us and it was fine. We really appreciated the internet food order that we had made being put away for us before we arrived – so good!

Long Weekend Break, Woodpecker Way (July 2018)

Amazing relaxing stay in a beautiful peaceful location.

Deep in the countryside away from noise and light pollution you find the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful and quiet surroundings. The cottage was perfect in every way and the welcome milk and cake were a nice touch and very tasty.

Enjoyed beautiful walks and there were lots of extra facilities to choose from if you wished and lots to do within a short distance in this beautiful county.

Highly recommend, the perfect place to find yourself again. Thank you.

Ramblers’ Midweek Break, The Manor House (July 2018)

“An Amazing Place to Stay”

What a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the Manor House – 7 en-suite rooms which was great (and it’s not that often you find a place with all en-suite facilities). Everything in the house was superb and very well thought out.

Excellent information pack provided from local restaurants, local walks and other general information.

Could not fault the cleanliness of the house which everybody had commented on and the lovely bed linen.

The games room is great and lots of choice (we tried them all out!).

The swimming pool although slightly away from the main house is a great addition, especially welcome in this hot weather.

Thank you to Nicky and her team (and for the lovely cake we had on our arrival – a nice treat).

We would definitely recommend Eaton Manor to family and friends and other fellow Ramblers. We hope to return again in the future.

The Jackson Family, Curlew Cottage (Apr 2018)

Lovely area and comfortable and well equipped accommodation.

Grandsons loved Carding Mill Valley and Acton Scott Farm.

Thoroughly enjoyable family celebration of our wedding anniversary.

Family Get Together, Curlew Cottage (May 2018)

Had a marvellous family get together in Curlew and Garden Cottages, with fabulous weather which augmented the great facilities.

The grandchildren enjoyed the run of the gardens and the swimming pool and games room.

The more enthusiastic adults enjoyed the walking on Wenlock edge.

Family Party, Curlew Cottage (July 2018)

I visited Curlew Cottage as part of a larger family party. I must say the cottage is beautifully appointed and I have loved the craftsmanship in the timberwork in every room. The garden has been a fabulous area of exploration of play for my 2 and 4 year olds.

Our favourite day trips were Ludlow Castle and the Craven Arms Discovery Centre which was fantastic. We followed the exhibition and shop with a day long walk and kiddy bike ride into the landscape – wonderful! Also loved the fascinating film showing as part of that exhibition.

This trip has definitely prompted a future visit.

Group Get Together, The Manor House (May 2018)

Had a great 4 days, excellent accommodation, already considering a return visit.

Annual Cousins’ Gathering, The Manor House (Apr 2018)

Perfect venue for our annual cousins gathering.

Great facilities and lots to do round-a-bout in the area. So good in fact, we’re looking to book again next year.

See you in 2019!

Hen Weekend, The Manor House (May 2018)

Wow! What a fantastic place.

Enjoyed a wonderful hen do. Everything was perfect – the house, the surroundings, the venue and even the sun shone for us! None of us wanted to leave.

The Charleston class was great and the catered food was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for sharing your lovely house and gardens and surrounding countryside.

Week Long Stay, Garden Cottage (Sept 2017)

Fabulous cottage, cosy and everything in it you could wish for.

Great location, especially with a dog, it was lovely to be able to go for a walk without having to get in the car.

Shropshire is a beautiful county, we enjoyed the Severn Valley Railway, a couple of walks in Carding Mill Valley, a drive across the Long Mynd, a wander around Ludlow, Clun and Church Stretton and Ironbridge.

Weekend Break, Garden Cottage (Jan 2018)

We came to celebrate my birthday and Garden cottage has been a wonderful location for us to visit the area, locally and further afield. Housman’s restaurant in Church Stretton for lunch on Sunday was lovely.

The weather was quite cold but the cottage was toasty warm all the time.

What a luxury to get a meal delivered on our first night too.

Mid-Week Break, Garden Cottage (March 2018)

It’s our second visit to Eaton Manor but our first to Garden Cottage and we’ve had a lovely time! Getting snowed in was unexpected but we enjoyed seeing the beautiful countryside in a different light. The cottage is immaculately clean and the best equipped of anywhere we’ve stayed. It’s a real home from home (in fact – I wish our home were as clean!)

Our daughter is 6 months old and the baby equipment supplied is clean and very handy, as well as being in good repair.

The lemon cake upon arrival is a lovely touch and very tasty! We’re looking forward to our next visit and are planning to come in summer next time so that we can enjoy the lovely garden even more.

Weekend Break, Garden Cottage (Apr 2018)

A lovely cottage with no complaints at all, very clean, comfortable, warm and cosy.

The shower was excellent as well as the cooking facilities.

Will definitely come again.

Two Week Stay, Garden Cottage (June 2018)

Brilliant two weeks as before.

We have managed to relax and unwind in a very pleasant and quiet surroundings. Managed to stay in touch with the world with the excellent Wi-Fi. Enjoyed using the swimming pool and the garden and the snooker hall in the evening (although no improvement on our game). Visited a number of the local museums which were very interesting. Drove the picturesque road over the Mynd.

There is no doubt we will be back again. As usual all the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Celebration Weekend, Toad Hall (Apr 18)

A highly successful long weekend of celebrating a 4^th and a 70^th.

Thank you

Hen Weekend, Toad Hall (May 2018)

14 of us stayed for a lovely weekend celebrating Pam’s Hen Do.

The weather was perfect and the cottage was excellent.

We particularly enjoyed the in house meal cooked by an amazing chef, would recommend!

Thank you for a great time!

Family Reunion, Toad Hall (June 2018)

A very special week for the Warrington family. Perfect place for a family reunion.

Carding Mill Valley is lovely and a must. Great for children. We all hope to be back!

6th Visit, The Manor House (August 2018)

What can I say – our 6^th visit so it must be good!

We’ve all had an amazing time, and as usual the customer service has been above and beyond!

All the help we needed for our family from a stairgate for the one year old to a wheelchair for 89 year old grandfather.

Thank you to the Eaton Manor Team.

Multi-Generation Family Stay, The Manor House (Sept 2018)

We found the house perfect, very well equipped in every way!!

We had ages ranging from 10yrs to 87yrs and every one of us felt comfortable and happy.

We always try to have a family get together every year as we all live distances from each other Glasgow – Staffordshire, Loughborough – Cheshire. So it is always a very special time for us all and Eaton Manor certainly made our time special.

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way. We would certainly like to come back.

The Rosenberg’s, Great Western Lodge (July 2018)

Thank you all for making our stay here at Eaton Manor so comfortable and so welcoming. We have only had two days and wish it could have been longer. Obviously the weather has been gorgeous and that has contributed to how much we have enjoyed our visit.

Our granddaughters, who are six and eight, have loved to swim in the pool and to play croquet on the lawn, and also the air hockey in the games hall. We have had fun exploring and playing frisbee in the grounds.

The accommodation has absolutely everything one could think of to ensure our comfort. It is spotlessly clean and we love the super king size bed. Also the welcoming tea table set up and delicious lemon cake.

There is little wonder your set up is rated so highly. We certainly hope to visit again next year.

Mid-week Break, Great Western Lodge (Oct 2018)

Thank you for an enjoyable stay. The accommodation was very comfortable and the TV much better than most holiday lets. We’d certainly come back here if we wanted a holiday in this area.

Your games hall is excellent – we enjoyed table tennis, snooker and table football, and used the pool for a morning dip.

Wedding Weekend, Great Western Lodge (Dec 2018)

Lovely accommodation, nice and warm, very quiet and peaceful.

Would definitely visit again with my dogs next time.

Attended a wedding and didn’t get to see the walks and countryside, so maybe next time?!

Midweek Break, Pheasant Walk (Feb 2019)

Stayed for 5 nights in Pheasant Walk and can safely say it was the cleanest cottage I’ve ever stayed in, dog friendly too.

The cottage was very comfortable with everything you can think of and needed there. A lovely lemon drizzle cake and milk to welcome you there plus a great dog pack, bowels, treats, blanket, towel, waste bags and a dog tag with the estate’s details on for use while you are there just in case your pooch decides to go walkies alone! It was all the little extras that made the cottage special too, new soap dispensers and touches in the kitchen.

Plenty of walking on the estate where you can you let your dog off lead. Situated a few minutes walk from the top of Wenlock Edge, didn’t move the car for a few days as plenty of walking nearby. Visited Carding Mill and Longmynd, great walking there and fantastic views.

Lots of walks I had researched before going but didn’t get round to so will definitely be going back for another visit sometime! The staff at the estate were very helpful.

– L. Wheeler

Golden Wedding Celebration, The Manor House (Jan 2019)

We booked the Manor House for our golden wedding celebration with our immediate family. Nine of us arrived on Friday evening and left on Sunday morning.

We found a well equipped and spotlessly clean house with beautiful bed linen and towels. Our three grandchildren were able to have a room each with their own en suite, which was very popular.

We had a grocery order and had ordered a drop in supper. All had been delivered and packed away. The drop in supper was easy to cook and was delicious. For the Saturday night we had booked a private chef. Charlotte and her helper cooked and served us a fabulous meal and cleared up and washed all the crockery, so we didn’t even have to empty a dishwasher afterwards.

We had some good fun in the well equipped games room and there are some lovely walks round the estate.

All in all a fabulous weekend!

– S. Roberts

Weekend Break, Woodpecker Way (Mar 2019)

This is a little gem – the cleanliness and well-equipedness hit you as you walk in, then you see the view from the sitting room (and kitchen), then you see the cake, then you go in the bedroom, all perfect and ready for a great night’s sleep. We couldn’t work the broadband so the owner Nichola came straight over to show us where somebody had turned it off (duh)….

Walks direct from the door, with maps all ready for us. Then it got dark and an owl swooped out of a tree in front of the window. Drove into Shrewsbury for a meal at The Walrus (go there, it’s well worth the drive, brilliant food, locally sourced and also grown by the chefs themselves. Have 3 puddings because why wouldn’t you?). Fantastic quality deli in Church Stretton if you don’t feel like cooking, so you can buy food in the deli, stay in Woodpecker in the evening, drink wine, listen to the owl, look at the stars…..

Because it’s an estate and the owners have thought of everything and are close by but really unobtrusive, you feel private but cared-for. I’d live there. And you can burn off calories by striding around the Long Mynd pretending you’re a country type. It was sunny too, to top it all off…… Shame we had to leave.

– A.Ayton

Weekend Break, Curlew Cottage (Mar 2019)

Can’t recommend highly enough. Everything is top notch – absolutely everything. Curlew Cottage was a pleasure to stay in, the area is lovely, the games room is fab…

If you’ve not been before, go. that’s all I can say.

– S.Short

Archery Holiday, Great Western Lodge (Apr 2019)

This was our second stay at Eaton Manor. Great Western Lodge was exactly as expected and as described. We loved our holiday.

The provision of a dog tag provided extra peace of mind and we were able to let our slightly over-excitable dog run free in the grassy field next to the lodge. Other doggy perks were an enclosed secure garden, a blanket, bowl and biscuits – and a warm water dog wash. There are fantastic walks on the estate and beyond.

We used the archery range most days too. There is a great games room; our snooker skills were somewhat lacking though. We didn’t use the swimming pool, although there were plenty of available times and it looked well kept.

We would definitely go back but we would probably try to pay the extra to be in one of the cottages nearer the archery range.

– J. Cotee

Family Reunion, The Manor House (May 2019)

This is the second time we have booked the Manor House and as always it has provided excellent facilities for our annual Cousins Reunion weekend.

With 15 of us and 4 dogs we also booked the Great Western Lodge which provided very comfortable accommodation too.

We highly rate the Manor and Great Western for all the reasons stated above, and will be returning again for our future gatherings.

Many thanks to Eaton Manor and their excellent customer service.

– T. Bragg

Midweek Break, Garden Cottage (Jun 2019)

A great place to chill out and relax.

Once again we found the facilities excellent and the staff very helpful. We spent some time in the well equipped games room.

We are already booked for our next visit so I think that says it all.

– D. Lovell

Yoga Retreat, Great Western Lodge (Jun 2019)

We stayed in Great Western Lodge for a few days whilst running a yoga retreat at Eaton Manor and it was perfect.

The bedrooms were fitted out perfectly, comfortable and a high standard. The living area was a great space and the kitchenette extremely well fitted out.

We will certainly come again!… and have no hesitation to recommend.

– B. Young

Wedding Stay, Toad Hall (May 2019)

We booked Toad Hall & Curlew Cottage so all our family could stay together during the week of our wedding.

The quality of everything in both houses was excellent and we were all very impressed with how well equipped they were for things like: dish clothes, dishwasher tablets, bin bags, kitchen pots and pans, baking trays etc.. just all those little things that together make such a difference.

We also hosted an evening dinner at Toad Hall for 20 people and a large BBQ one day and the staff were super helpful – bringing in extra chairs and then removing them the next day too.

The online shopping order unpack was also great!

Would highly recommend if looking for somewhere to stay in this area!

– A & B Davis

Family Holiday, The Manor House (July 2019)

We stayed a week in the Manor house. We wanted a family holiday that was stress free. What an amazing location. The accommodation really was beautiful. From the en-suite in every room to the gorgeous grounds.

We used the games room every day and swam in the pool. The owners were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

There was even a home made cake for us when we arrived.

This really was a special holiday. Many Thanks.

– K. Holloway

Family Weekend Break, Pendennis (July 2019)

My family and I had a great time staying at Pendennis. The property was very comfortable and clean and included small but necessary items such as washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets (and not just one or two to “start you off”).

The kitchen is well stocked with all the items required for cooking at home, but equally there are good pubs places near by. We ate at the Green Dragon that catered for both gluten free and vegan diets in our family.

This was our first visit to Shropshire and it was too short!

Oh, and the games room is a great facility on site.

– A. Joshi

Eight Night Stay, Garden Cottage (July 2019)

We’ve had a lovely stay here at Garden Cottage, all of the extra equipment really makes a difference.

The bottle of bubbly for our anniversary was a lovely surprise, the welcome pack of cake and milk etc very much appreciated.

The cottage and garden beautifully kept.

We took advantage of the find dining option which was delicious.

There is plenty to do in the area, including National Trust places, Ludlow, Ironbridge and Stokesay Castle.

A lovely holiday destination.

– H&D Richards

80th Birthday Weekend, Garden Cottage (July 2019)

Well, we had a fabulous weekend here with my sister and family to celebrate her 80th birthday.

The 13 of us 2 houses and utlised the facilities provided; pool, games room, sports field.

Garden Cottage was perfect for the 3 ‘elders’ in our party!

It is beautiful and well appointed with everything we needed.

Thanks for having us!

– T&L, British Columbia, Canada

Three Generation Family Holiday, Pendennis (Jul 2019)

What a wonderful part of the country! We came as three generations and without exception, we all had a fantastic time.

We were able to play games in the picturesque garden (weather permitting), enjoyed the games room and had a daily swim and all three children were able to swim without aids by the time we left.

The scenery was amazing and I have never seen so many butterflies!

The cottage is perfect and the little extras like a bathroom and television to every room was a real bonus.

We enjoyed some of the local facilities including the farm shop at Ludlow and two local pubs – both with gardens.

I have found everyone I have spoken to very friendly and I can only imagine that living in such a beautiful place makes it hard to be miserable!!

Many thanks to you all.

– M. King

Family Stay, Pendennis (Aug 2019)

Thank you for a wonderful stay at pendennis. We were thrilled with the cake and wine on arrival and, as before, have been very impressed by the views and facilities this cottage has to offer.

The children have particularly enjoyed the swimming pool being so close and we all had a great rainy day of games at the Games Room.

Out trips to the surrounding areas, including Ludlow, Much Wenlock and Ironbridge, provided us with lovely walks, pretty parks and lots to do.

Further to our last stay, the improvements made to the bedrooms (with ensuite wet rooms) are incredible and ensured we all had our own space.

We really do love this cottage so thank you for our stay and for helping us to make some fantastic memories as a family.

– P. Edgar

Repeat Guests, Woodpecker Way (Aug 2019)

Dear Nichola,

We want to thank you so much for all you and the rest of the Eaton Manor team did to make our stay in Woodpecker this week so enjoyable and comfortable.

You know already how much we like the cottage and its setting with all the beautiful views and you know we think the Eaton Manor team is first class. What reinforced our view was when we arrived we discovered new items even though the cottage previously was great. The new outdoor furniture, the new rocking chair which we used a lot, the new lamps and pictures in the bedroom, new table mats and coasters all demonstrate that you and your team are always looking forward and trying to find ways to enhance your visitors’ experience. Well done- we are so impressed with you all and what you achieve.

We also want to thank you for the lovely sunflowers and card for our wedding anniversary- they are both on display back at our home. It was so kind of your team to do that and it helped to make our anniversary special.

We want to thank you personally for taking time out to show us Toad Hall. We were so impressed with its facilities and will be in discussion with our children to see if we can arrange a stay next year.

We will definitely be back soon- it feels like a second home to us and perhaps that is the biggest compliment we can give Eaton Manor.

Many thanks and best wishes

– N & J Blamire-Brown

Family Holiday, Great Western (Aug 2019)

Great family holiday in the countryside.

Modern and spacious house in a beautiful location. Hosts are extremely welcoming and accommodating – giving us extra freezer space, dropping our parcels in to us, bringing us fans when needed and even jump starting our car when the battery died. The view is fabulous and there’s loads of space in the garden for the kids to play. If you want a real countryside holiday we couldn’t recommend a better place. The swimming pool is not luxurious but was great to jump in to on the really hot days.

– A. Stone

Retreat Guests, Curlew Cottage (Sep 19)

We used Curlew cottage as our base cottage for my retreat guests.
The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
We were blessed with lovely weather so was able to get out and about and use the outdoor spaces which was just lovely.
Thank you Eaton Manor for a lovely weekend.

– S. Roadway

Week Stay with Dog, Pheasant Walk (Sep 19)

A beautiful attached accommodation. There is one attached and a further close by accommodation to Pheasant. Neither of them were occupied at the time we were, so it was nice and quiet. Pheasant Walk was a beautiful place, everything you could need and quality excellent throughout. Car parking right beside your door. A very small patch of grass at front and a small gravelled fenced area at the back. We had a large dog and the size both inside and outside was sufficient for both of us and a large dog. Just across the road was a lovely uncut field with a cut through path for you to walk dog off lead which went down to a shallow river which you could walk across and do a round trip walk back to the cottage. Lots of lovely places to visit and in a good location to access things.

-G Parnham

Family Birthday, Toad Hall (Oct 2019)

A really lovely house finished to a high spec, that lends itself to family gatherings, all en suite bedrooms, an enormous lounge and huge dining table.

We chose Toad Hall based on reviews, in particular for accessibility. Having a mobility pack at no extra cost was a welcome extra.

Overall it was the attention to detail that made our stay extra special and the added services, for example having our online food shop received and put away before our arrival, what a treat!

Our four legged friend was also well catered for with complimentary biscuits and even a dog tag for the duration of her stay.

Multi-generation Family Celebration, Toad Hall (Oct 2019)

We hired Toad Hall for my parent’s 60th wedding anniversary and there was a mixture of ages from 84 down to 2 years.

The Hall was very large with good sized bedrooms and plenty of room for all of us to be together (had also hired another cottage to sleep us all).

There was nothing that we wanted that was not provided and cooking for 20 we did test the kitchen.We had ordered the groceries to be delivered and arrived to find it all put away for us but also a fantastic sponge cake tea and coffee and a pint of local milk.

Lots of information about what is available in site and as the weather was slightly damp the games room was well used. My 2 year old granddaughter especially loved all the toys provided and a very competitive snooker and pool completion between the older kids.

The staff were fantastic and when my Mum took a slight tumble could not have been more helpful.

All in all we had the most fantastic long weekend.
