Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Shrewsbury

We've just come back from a few days at Tom's as a very last-minute half term break. The house feels like a home more than many cottages. It's a simple space with an open plan living/diner upstairs and two bedrooms and bathrooms below them. The entrance to the house is up a set of stairs. It has everything you need- dishwasher/washer/dryer though a bit tricky noisewise because of the open plan. Only logs for the logburner were missing. The house was quiet and undeniably has beautiful views and of course the original timber frame structure is a gem. Straight from the house you can walk up Caer Caradoc. There's a route from the property itself and we were at the top in under an hour. It's a short drive to Carding Mill Valley for some longer walks. Shewsbury is about 20-30 mins depending on traffic and we were really impressed with the museum there. Nearest town is Church Stretton where you can bankrupt yourself buying outdoor gear all the while convincing yourself that you need it.

We rented this Airbnb for a works meeting and it couldnt have worked out any better. The accommodation was clean and beds really comfy, the outside space was great so we did most of the meeting in the late afternoon and evening sat in the sunshine in the garden. We couldnt fault the cleanliness of the kitchen or bathrooms and the showers were really powerful, what was needed to wake us all up in the morning to carry on our meeting. We had milk and juice in the fridge when we arrived and tea and coffee was provided along with a little treat that was a lovely added touch. Joy (the host) responded to all requests for information and the information regarding access to the house etc was provided in time with easy to follow instructions. We would just like to say a BIG thankyou to Joy.

Lovely home from home experience. Had everything we needed for our trip to our home town to visit family.

We had a lovely stay in Shrewsbury. The house was clean and full of everything you might need. Any questions and queries I had before the trip were answered promptly. The location was great. It was really easy to walk into the centre of town.

What can I say, an absolutely stunning place set in beautiful and secluded surroundings. My 2.5-year old son particularly loved having sheep as next door neighbours and lots of space to play and run around in. The building itself is just amazing and Ellie was lovely and kind enough to make fairy cakes for us! I would stay here again in a heartbeat - in fact I will 100% come again this year. A perfect, relaxing and private escape.

What a wonderful place to stay!. The house is both charming and functional. The kitchen is better equipped than my own home! All was nice and clean and Helwn even left us some basics (butter, milk, tea, coffee, etc.). My kids loved the bedrooms and some of the quirks like having to be careful not to let the sheep out of the gate when driving in! I think this is the best place I have found on Airbnb in more than 10 years of using it!!! Hope to come back some time.

This was our second stay at Catshill, and we absolutely love it here! We have family close by, and there are some lovely walks around the area. We highly recommend Elizabeth's cottage, and have plans to make this a regular stay when we are visiting family. Elizabeth is a wonderful host, very friendly and responsive.

Lovely property close to all local amenities.

Lovely apartment. Perfect for our group of friends to get together. Picturesque area, easy walk into Malvern and the hills. Some nice places to eat nearby including the Nag’s Head and Everest restaurant. Thanks for a great stay Angie

A rejuvenating place that felt like staying in someone's warm (not just in temperature) and characterful home. We enjoyed feeling relaxed here from the moment we arrived. The surrounding fields and orchard with a river running through it was idyllic day and night. I was rewarded for being awake by the sounds of tawny owls calling back and forth. Thanks Jim and Sally for the little touches and thoughtful hosting.

Very lovely. We only had 1 evening there. I came to visit the Lavinia Shop. Fresh milk and fruit, and available tea, coffe and hot chocolate.

Neil and Tracy's Studio is a little gem, overlooking their beautiful garden, in a lovely village. We only wish we could have stayed longer, to enjoy the peace and tranquility. We will definitely be going back - Dean & Ruth.

Great two nights stay, while visiting family member in Chester Uni (only 20 min from Chester). Comfortable and fully equipped. My old two dogs enjoyed fully fenced garden. Welcome goodies -wine, pastry, milk and dog biscuits- much appreciated!! Picturesque village with lots of walks and lovely atmosphere- Holt castle within walking distance. Nice host, clear instructions, easy to find. Highly recommended.

Tranquility, beauty and kindness all at one place. We had a wonderful stay at Gwen's flat which provided everything we needed for a few days of complete relaxation. The flat was furnished and provisioned to a high standard and Gwen provided many extra kindnesses. The view from the garden is amazing and the available walks are stunning. Wonderful!

Perfect location to walk the Hills or visit the town. Parking was good. Loved the old fashioned bath. We will be back. Thank you.

Me and my family enjoyed our 2 day stay. Jane is a wonderful host and very helpful on our 2 day stay. I will definitely be staying here again in the near future. The apartment was very clean and tidy and very homely.

Such a lovely stay at Lakeside Lodge, the surroundings were beautiful and our host Andrew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home. Stunning lake one side of the lodge and stunning views of the hilly countryside the other (both visible from the view in the hot tub) really could not have asked for anything more for a chilled girls trip. Could have stayed there forever!

There are hosts, there are super hosts and then there's Katie!! Everything was simply perfect, there were 10 family all together for a family Christening. Due to Katie's flexibility were could all check in when we arrived. Most handy when people are travelling from all over the country. Also, on the Sunday, the day of the Christening and our check out day, Katie helped us with late check out, allowing all the logistics of people and cars the time needed to get where we all needed without a ridiculously early start, which would have been dreadful after the party the day before! We all enjoyed the hot tub, the huge spaces, comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and well equipt kitched. Thank you Katie - you are a love.
