Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment to be very clean, with only one mention of dirty cutlery. The overall impression is that the property is well-maintained.
The apartment's location is highly praised for being central, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. It is quiet despite its position on the high street, and parking is generally not a problem.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests found the apartment cosy and comfortable, others mentioned an uncomfortable bed and the cold during winter. The steep stairs were also noted as a downside.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the apartment being well-equipped for self-catering. However, some guests noted a lack of oven trays and issues with WiFi, which suggests room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches from the owners that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property

Leading in off the high street, stairs take you to the first floor accommodation, where you will find a cosy open plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable sitting area with an attractive flickering electric fire and views over the high street. Completing this lovely apartment is a comfortable double bedroom and a shower room, plus bike storage and roadside parking is available. Attractively presented throughout to provide comfortable accommodation for two, the apartment allows you to leave the car behind and step out into this historic market town. Visit the museums and Heritage Centre to discover something of the fascinating history of Bishop's Castle and then admire the varied architecture dating from Norman times, after which you can enjoy a drink in one of the many pubs, two of which brew their own beer. Restaurants, cafes and shops line the high street and there is frequent evening entertainment with the town being a centre for live music and crafts and art. The nearby towns and villages also host numerous festivals and events throughout the year, making this a great destination for a variety of interests.

..with walks from the door and close to Offa's Dyke, Shropshire Way, Stiperstones and Long Mynd. It had everything we needed, including plenty of storage space. The flat is above a shop in the High St so had all the advantages of a town centre spot within short walk of all Bishop Castle's pubs, cafes etc. The slight drawback (only because we were there in very hot weather and needed to keep the windows open) being that it was occasionally noisy and some of the locals seemed to specialise in driving cars with loud engines and/or that wouldn't meet ULEZ standards!
