"Being mid September the sun is still shining but the evenings have definitely gotten chiller. When I asked if I could have the heating on I was told simply 'no, you can use a blanket'. The welcome was extremely cold and I didn't feel comfortable approaching the host again during my stay. The wifi unfortunately did not work on my laptop as it's an older model which was frustrating as the internet would have been useful to download movies etc. I addressed the problem after I left the cottage with a polite email explaining the stay was fine but I was uncomfortable most evenings due to being very cold ans could hopefully sort that small issue out the next time I stayed. I got an incredibly blunt and unfriendly response so as a result would not stay here again. A shame as it has a lot of potential but as a paying guest I would not expect the reception I received."

"We spent the Christmas week in the cottage, which was warm and extremely comfortable. Christmas treats and decorations were kindly provided, as well as the 'welcome pack'. The owners were very helpful and we enjoyed meeting and talking to them. We left our Bedlington terrier in their care for half a day, and she had a wonderful time, while we were able to explore Shrewsbury on our own. The Barn cottage is situated in a quiet village half way between Church Stretton and Shrewsbury which is ideal for exploring the whole area. There are some wonderful scenic walks in the hillside and country parks. The views from the windows of the cottage are of the Shropshire hills and we were lucky enough to look at the snow capped hill tops in blue sky and sunshine. Plenty of nearby villages with pubs and restaurants."

"Our stay was very enjoyable but there were a couple of things which would have made it even better. The outside spaces need tidying up and the shower on the top floor needs attention because it can't be adjusted as necessary. Our first impression of the kitchen was disappointing because there is some damage to the unit as you walk in, although this doesn't interfere with the practical use of the kitchen. During our stay we noticed that the gas bottles needed replacing so we phoned the owner, who was grateful that we had checked this, and the next day the gas bottles were replaced. The beds were very comfortable and the bath towels were lovely, but it would have been good to have had hand towels as well. We would add that for what we paid for our week, this house is very good value."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Blackberry Cottage and the village of Lognor, and would certainly consider the property again if we travel to the area. Thank you for arranging for a great holiday in a lovely property. It was very tastefully decorated and well equipped with the necessary kitchen supplies. We found the bed in the top floor bedroom very comfortable. Entry and departure was a breeze, and the village is nice for a stroll. A few minor suggestions to include in the information for the posting: 1. Mention that there is a cafetiere coffee maker available...we would have brought coffee from home to use in it had we known. 2. Mention that the top floor bedroom does not have a separate door."
