While parking can be tricky for additional vehicles, the thoughtful touches and responsive host add to a highly recommended experience.
The vast majority of reviews highlight the property's spotless condition and meticulous upkeep. One isolated complaint about cleanliness was noted, but it appears to be an exception rather than the norm.
The location is frequently commended for its convenience, with easy access to Shrewsbury town centre and nearby attractions. The proximity to the train station is also appreciated.
Reviewers are united in their appreciation for the property's comfort, mentioning the quality of the beds and furnishings. The property's layout and amenities contribute to a cosy and enjoyable stay.
The facilities are generally praised for being modern and well-equipped. However, a few minor maintenance issues such as a non-operational fan and a shower without a screen slightly affect the score.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs and fresh flowers. While these are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
Resting in the middle of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, moments away from the River Severn, is this stylish, mid-terrace holiday home of 6 The Engine Shed. Like its namesake, this property is a converted engine shed that has been carefully renovated to a high standard to suit a family of six, whilst also sitting moments away from the train station. On arrival, you'll be pleased to discover one allocated parking space, so you can get settled in and get your holiday started with ease. Progress inside to find a tastefully appointed sitting room, where you can grab a seat on one of the plush options available and curl up with a book or switch on the TV to enjoy a movie night together. After relaxing for a moment, climb the stairs to the first-floor kitchen/diner, a fabulous, mezzanine space with glass balustrades, where the chef of the family can rustle up culinary delights for all to enjoy. Settle down to dinner at the nearby dining table, a spot that is perfectly lit by the original arched windows; why not open a bottle of wine to accompany your meal, you're on a getaway after all? After dinner, unwind further in the sitting room or throw any old clothing into the nearby utility, before freshening up in the neighbouring cloakroom and climbing the stairs to the second floor, where three well-appointed bedrooms await. The first of the bedrooms consists of a double benefiting from a TV along with access to an en-suite shower room, the second is a double and the third offers twin beds; All bedrooms have Velux windows! Before setting out to explore your surroundings, make a coffee with the kitchen's handy coffee machine and take it out to the front garden, where you can lounge on a bench before wandering into the town. Embark on a short walk into the town centre, where a fantastic selection of eateries await, including The Salopian Bar and The Armoury, alongside a plethora of independent shops boasting local wares. Why not walk along the River Severn towards The Quarry, a park boasting gardens and green spaces for you to explore; alternatively, you could tour the fascinating landmarks of Shrewsbury Castle and Shrewsbury Prison? For an idyllic outing, be sure to venture to Church Stretton, a market town within the Shropshire Hills AONB which enjoys access to walking trails stretching along Long Mynd, Carding Mill Valley and Haddon Hill. Much Wenlock is also worth a visit, a town enjoying picturesque architecture and hosts the delights of Much Wenlock Museum and Wenlock Priory. Venture back into the Shropshire Hills AONB to find even more outdoor havens packed with bridleways, walking trails and cycling routes. A marvellous stay awaits at 6 The Engine Shed.
