Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Bishop's Castle

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 stayed on a half term break with our three boys and our dog. The cottage is an amazing place; totally secluded, so homely and set up with all the convenience you’d want. Lucasz was brilliant getting us checked in with all the information we needed. We used the place as a base for great walks, and some sightseeing for the kids. We’d definitely come back. Thanks!

Beautiful location with lots of personal touches to the cottage!

We stayed at the Paradise Cottage for two nights and were super happy with the information provided in advance and the communication before and during our stay there. The whole place was spotless clean and everything was as shown in the pictures and matched the description to our complete satisfaction. The beds (mattresses) were in perfect condition. In addition to that we had a rather late check-in and found a warm-hearted welcome and got help from the very nice owner. We would definitely recommend staying in this little paradise square:)

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.

Lovely house, immaculate and had everything we needed, would recommend

Great place and great hosts! A really homely and spacious property right in the heart of Ludlow. Suited us perfectly for soil some walking in the surrounding countryside and sampling the local bars and restaurants. Really glad we chose this option and would definitely recommend to others.

A truly wonderful and peaceful stay. The amenities were excellent—everything you could need to feel right at home. It’s the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle, with acres of open land for long strolls and scenic walks up the hill. There were plenty of board games to keep both kids and adults entertained throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing escape. Pam was a fantastic host—warm, welcoming, and very responsive.

Beautiful apartment with lovely views across the city of Hereford. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a pleasant and comfortable stay. Very quiet location would definitely stay again!

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.

Wonderful location, perfect for a night away to relax and spend time with your loved one

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!

We really enjoyed our stay in the garden flat. The location was great for walks on the Malvern Hills as well as exploring Gt Malvern & other nearby places. The flat was very comfortable & well equipped and was perfect for our mini break. The breakfast ingredients were much appreciated. Thank you very much Sue.

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.
