We stayed at marine terrace for a weekend. On first arrival we were initially pleased with the house however problems began to arise the longer we were there. There are a number of broken tiles on the kitchen floor these are dangerous especially if you have a baby - you need shoes/slippers on whilst in the kitchen to avoid cutting your feet. Secondly there is a leak that comes through a light fitting above the dining table when it rains, it is not a small leak it is a big one. When I contacted Andrew about this he did not reply. On returning home I have contacted Sykes and have been informed because it is a health and safety issue they cannot resolve it - I do not understand that logic. There is a health and safety issue in one of the houses they are the booking agent for yet they do not wish to address it!

The view is simply stunning of the river, very tranquil. The house is decorated to a high standard and fabulously quirky. There is just the one room in the loft that requires attention. We also found the owner to be responsive and helpful. Overall I would highly recommend this property.

I emailed the owner to ask about the negative reviews and he was very quick to come back to me with explanations and reassurances. The location of the house was perfect for a stay in Shrewsbury, picturesque setting on the riverbank. Within minutes you are in the centre of Shrewsbury with the wonderful array of independent shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops. The house itself was spotlessly clean with good quality bedding and towels. The bedrooms are all very roomy, the beds comfortable, we all had a great sleep each night. It is peaceful with no noise at night. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to for preparing a meal, if you wished. All cleaning, washing up products were provided. We used the Hot Tub, the area created is lovely, private and perfect for sitting out in at night. Whilst we were there I contacted the owner Andrew with a small issue with the Hot Tub, he was quick to respond and sorted the matter straight away. We would definitely book this house again.
