The Wain House Reviews

Michelle

We hired 3 properties for a family gathering of 22 people and could not have been happier. It has been an amazing stay and we will be booking again in 2026.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish. We went for Christmas, wanted for nothing. No issues, all positive. Thank you

Elaine

Every aspect of the property was perfect. The support service was also 5 star for a small matter. A comfortable and relaxing break.

Audrey

We all had a fabulous stay at Wain House. It was spotlessly clean and very welcoming. So many goodies too including a lovely lemon cake. Although in quite a remote area it wasn't far from all the local landmarks e.g. Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Ironbridge. The hot tub was a success too.

Niculina

It is a nice property. Clean and quiet. A nice area. The hot tub a hit. Thank you.

Carolyn

Gorgeous cottage with beautiful views and quiet area. Nice to have a games room though we didn't get to use much as the weather was beautiful, so spent lots of time cycling and walking and exploring the area.

Good points As described, very clean and tidy, lovely place to stay in. Easy to get to and directionsinstructions very useful. Less good points Not a lot of kitchen utensils for 6 people. Parking was very difficult, other cars had parked in the space allocated to our cottage likely because it isnt clearly labelled in the car park making parking very difficult.

Fabulous property, well equipped and comfortable. Perfect for an Autumn getaway with friends.

Excellent cottage for me and my family. Kids loved it. Very comfortable. Owners had a homemade lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Not a lot around the cottage but if youre willing to drive 3050mins to destinations theres amazing places around. Two which we would highly recommend are the Shropshire sculpture park and carding mill valley perfect for a walk and to dip feet in the reservoir

Lovely stay. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stop, rest and relax.

We loved the cottage and the lovely little welcome touches, we were however a little disappointed in the outside area, the bbq was too small and the area was all gravel and concrete and smaller than we expected from the pictures on the Web site. The garden would be no good for a large dog. We enjoy our stay the location is good.

Stephen

Great property for my family stay of 5 adults, an infant, a baby and dog. Lovely warm property for this February stay 2024. The hot tub was very clean and we used it each day. Plenty of hot water and good showers. My recommendation for the property would be to increase the freezer size in the kitchen which limited our storage a little bit, but not too bad.

Lovely house with a cottage feel. Lots of space for 6 and enough wardrobes etc. We only stayed for 2 nights but a week would be great. Lots of utensils and pans etc in kitchen. Bathroom and kitchen tiles need a bit of TLC but all areas were clean. We didnt use the games room but the hot tub was really nice and the temperature was perfect. There are quite a few holiday lets on the farm so quite a few other people around the car park areas but once inside the house you dont notice. It was very warm and snug. Nice welcome with cake and wine. We would come again with friends or family . Such a lot to do in the area. Very good contact from owner management team with useful information and quick responses. Thank you

I've stayed here 3 times now. Hot tub is the best we've ever used very clean and they check on ittop it up etc every day. Kids loved all the lights outside the house driving up. Homemade mince pies were amazing.

Fantastic property and a lovely stay.

The property was good set up as usual with lovely wine and cake on arrival. Hot tub was excellent. However the games room is rubbish with most things broken and unusable. Unfortunately the holiday was ruined with all the wasps and massive hornets surrounding the property Site stores the waste bins for the complex 5m from the property and this caused so much distress. Wasps bombarded the property during the day that much we couldnt sit outside. Then at night it was the hornets turn to come say hello attracted by the lights.

Comfortable clean and very welcoming hot tub excellent the only disappointment was the games room for the children the football game was broken and the small poole table not level and worn we took ages to find a ping pong ball for the table tennis on the very messy shelves which were such a muddle it wants a good tidy up with some decent games and up to date books and a specific storage spot for ping pong balls well labelled I think if it was tidier guests might keep it tidier too finally we were not too clear on where to put the food waste as could only find bins marked recycling?

We had a really lovely week , the cottage was well appointed and its in such a tranquil location ! Chloe the housekeeper was friendly and really helpful . Lots of lovely touches eg , the cake , milk, tea, sugar etc ! Thank you for a really fabulous holiday , we cant wait to come back !!

Property wasn't clean I did email them ,food and spillages down the wall ,hairs in the oven and all over the furniture, skirting board filthy , mouldy areas and broken tiles in the bathroom definitely over rated , garden no privacy pictures make the property look totally different from reality Wouldn't recommend it at all very overpriced and felt a complete waste of money

Very nice clean comfortable accommodation. Peaceful location,and near to many areas of interest for walking and sightseeing. Nice walks from the doorstep. Cupboards were well stocked with lots of kitchen essentials, and crockery which left us with the dilemma of where to store our food! Maybe a larder cupboard would be helpfull Mismatched cutlery was a bit disappointing for a 5 accommodation. Bed linen was to a very good quality, and super comfortable mattress. We enjoyed our stay very much. It's a shame that not all of Sykes accommodation is to the same high standard of cleanliness as The Wain House.

Lovely stay at wain house our 2nd time visiting the place nice to get away from normal day to day rat run off life and enjoy the scenery and take some lovely walks from your door step, and on return the hot tub and games room are a added bonus would definitely recommend staying there

Kathryn

We had a fabulous time. House was beautiful and suited all our needs. Beds very comfortable and all rooms were spotlessly clean. The only ask would be for some serving dishes to use at meal times. Would recommend the Wain house. Thank you

What a lovely stay. We were a family of six but upon arrival found that there were not enough plates and other items. This was rectified within 30 minutes using the method suggested in the welcome pack. All of the little extras were a lovely touch and it was great to find the essentials available too. Would have been good to have somewhere to run the dog but otherwise perfect

Lovely property, plenty of room for us all. A nice touch was the cake, chocolate and wine when we got there The hot tub was lovely to relax in and watch the sheep in the fields The gym was a big hit with my son and we used the games room . Our first holiday with 4 week old grandchild and we made some lovely memories. If i had one negative it would be the very narrow road, but we got used to it and people were very courteous. Would defintely recommend

Catherine

Lovely cottage, great facilities hot tub, pool, table tennis, gym in a beautiful tranquil valley

Kyrene

Really enjoyed it . Location is quite remote and very peaceful .

Michelle

The Wain House is beautiful, comfortable in a quiet location with lots of amenities. The Games room and hot tub were brilliant for all the family, we really enjoyed them. Chloe the manager very approachable, we had a small issue with the oven which was quickly rectified. Only one issue we found was that the dining chairs in the kitchen were a little big for the table which meant some members of the family found it tight on there legs. Overall a wonderful place to have a stay cation.

This is my third stay at this lovely cottage, the welcome gifts are such a personal touch, the house is immaculate and the hot tub is fabulous! I have recommended to friends and they also love their stays here! Its in a remote location so perfect for a getaway into the country to recharge

We had a great time loved the hot tub and games room and the house was amazing,in lovely country side

Really nice accommodation, with good facilities including games room. Great location to explore Shropshire and surrounding areas. The garden in the Wain House could be a little more private, a higher fence would make it more secluded. The hot tub is visible from from the drive road.

Claire

We had a fantastic holiday in Shropshire and the cottage had the best hot tub I've ever been in. It was so nice to be able to look out over the fields from the water. Beautiful cottage, would love to come back again.

Rebecca

Great holiday. was a lovely touch to have wine, milk, home made cake, choc. Lovely and clean.

Jeanine

An unusually hot week so evenings spent relaxing in the hot tubwonderful! The layout of the complex has been carefully thought out with privacy and parking respected. A lovely welcome of wine, cake and milk for the first cuppa.

Antony

We have been twice before to this property and we love it. The furnishings had been improved since our last visit, the lounge looked cleaner and brighter. We will return again.

Lovely stay, everything was clean and tidy. Beautiful location. Owners were only a phone call away.

We loved the peace and tranquillity of the Wain House. It was beautifully presented and very comfortable.waking up to the alpaca in the field opposite was a treat and Id highly recommend the alpaca walk.

What a lovely stay we had! Hot tub was amazing, lovely fields to walk across. Not far from the nearest pub with lots of shops at hand and restaurants. Chloe, is a fantastic host and would 100 love to come back!
