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 … Read full testimonial

The Bond Family, Eaton Manor Group (Dec 2015)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Bah Family, Curlew Cottage (Jan 2018)

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.

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.

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!!!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The Sinclairs, Pheasant Walk (May 2017)

Beautiful bungalow.
Beautiful environment.
Fantastic archery range.
Waitrose delivery excellent.
Can’t fault.

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 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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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 Eaton Manor Team

We are looking forward to welcoming guests to Great Western Lodge in 2018.

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 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.

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 Lazenby’s, Garden Cottage (July 2016)

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!

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 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 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 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.

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 Bond Family, Eaton Manor Group (Dec 2015)

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!

We Are Dog Friendly!
