Holiday rentals with a kayak in Shropshire

a magical stay, that was just what we needed. we had lots of fun wild swimming, using the kayaks, BBQ and lots of lovely walks near by. Great for families or a romantic getaway. We feel we have found a very special place, and hope to come back soon to create more happy memories

Beautiful house perfect for family holidays. Loved lazy days out with kids on the kayaks & rowing boat! Would definitely recommend. Alex was a great host & very helpful. Will definitely be back again one day…

The photos do not do the Drydock Cottage justice - it is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos and also a lot more spacious. The attention to detail and every element of the design that has gone into the conversion of this building is second to none. The location is also absolutely perfect - so peaceful, tucked away in gorgeous grounds with a view straight out onto the canal and across over the valley to the mountains beyond. I could have sat and watched the world go by, including the families of ducks, all day. The home made goodies were very welcoming and I loved every minute of my stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for people looking to escape to somewhere unique and peaceful.

We had a very enjoyable stay with the family for a major birthday celebration. The accommodation and location are really lovely. The kayaks with life jackets were available. We had a few minor cleanliness issues which couldn't be resolved during our stay but we did receive modest compensation. One observation; the ladder style steps up to the mezzanine are very steep and not suitable for young children on their own and the beds up there are too small for fully grown adults or tall teenagers!. This is not addressed in the spec of the accommodation. We ate at a local restaurant, The Crown at Ampney Brook. Food and service exemplary.

Such a wonderful location with use of the lake for paddleboarding and sailing……. Property was brilliant and well presented. Kate was always on hand to answer any questions and very responsive. Would be more than happy to return again.

Absolutely stunning location, right on the water front with access to the lake via the veranda/pontoon. Everything you could wish to ask for to celebrate a big birthday with the family. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time cottage is beautiful. The location is stunning. The garden is safe and enclosed for the dogs. The owners are lovely, thoughtful and always making sure we were ok. We will definitely be going back for longer! Thank you

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. Host perfect responded promptly to any communication. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend this property.

Angela was a very welcoming host. Chocolate cake and provisions in the fridge on arrival! The cottage is full of character. We stayed in the cottage as a base for the Hay Festival and it was a very easy trip to go to and from there.

Great cottage and location. Lots of information provided to make sure we made the most of the local area!

A truly magical, cosy, and charming cottage! It was perfect for us, our daughter and our dog - we only wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely visit again.

A beautiful home in an even more beautiful location. We were there over a long weekend of rain and wind but still plenty to do - rainy hot tub dips and squelchy dog walks! The lake and the boat are fantastic, the kids loved feeding the swans. The kitchen is so well equipped - very generous number of plates, cutlery, cups, glasses and all wonderful quality. My only constructive feedback would be - considering the price point - the bedding and towels were of less good quality. The air hockey table wasn't working which was a shame because the kids were really excited to play with it. All in all, a really lovely stay.

Lovely cottage

Wonderful moments to spend time in Nick and Holly ( pet) place. My host is wonderful and Holly is friendly and Gentle. I will definitely visit again. Great customer relations and friendly. I can recommend the Nick wonderful village house to others people. Kind regards. Anuoluwapo Adeyemo.

We were a family of 4 and really enjoyed our time at the Cottage. It felt very homely and we spent every evening sitting upstairs admiring the spectacular view or sitting in front of the fire playing the huge selection of board games that were in the house. Despite the inclement weather we did not have any issues driving to the cottage without a 4x4 and loved the quiet and secluded nature of the cottage. We did a lovely walk from the house to nearby Bala and then got the steam train back and then it was just a 10 minute walk up through some fields back to the cottage. Although there was no WiFi we had no issues with reception so kids were happy! Really friendly and responsive hosts. I would highly recommend this place.

Quietly located, comfortable home in a beautiful environment. Charles was kind, sent a message to ask if everything was okay and came to greet us personally.

A girls night away in the cabins and we wanted to stay forever longer! When we arrived we were so shocked by how stunning it was, so quiet with only the sound of the river and the most stylish cabins and good sized hot tub. It had everything we could've needed and a very high tech air fryer. Anthony was very responsive and friendly and came out in the evening to fix a lightbulb for us. The hot tub was beautifully clean and a lovely temperature. I have sent links to all my friends and family because you must see this place! Thank you so much, and we will be back! Xx

I loved my stay at Riverside Cabins it was beautiful and peaceful and everything we needed! We are going to make this our annual anniversary because it’s just everything you need for a romantic stay! It was so clean there was absolutely no faults what so ever!

We stayed at Riverside Cabins as a surprise for my husband's birthday. From the time of booking, with help to have balloons in the cabin prior to our arrival, to organising the hot tub to warm up quicker as we were only staying for 1 night, everyone was so friendly, accommodating & extremely helpful! I couldn't recommend this place enough! The location is no more than perfect! It was a freezing cold night (-2 i think) which gave us the beautifully clear skies on which to view the stars from the hot tub. I couldn't think of a better place to have been on such a perfect night! Luckily we live local so will definitely be staying again and I have already recommended Riverside Cabins to my family and friends. The cabin was clean, warm and cosy, well equiped & beautifully decorated with a very comfy bed. Loved it! I would say more but I'm running out of the allocated number of characters! Quick you need to book before you miss out on experiencing such a perfect location! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We absolutely loved our stay at Sian’s place!! Although we didn’t get to see our host much as we kept missing each other, she was super friendly and extremely helpful. The caravan was wonderful and in the most incredible setting with stunning views. My 9 year old daughter wants to add that she was thrilled with the animals and amazing stay! We truly had a fantastic stay. Thank you so much!!!

This is an excellent place. Anthony has gone to exceptional lengths to make this the kind of place that he himself would have wanted to holiday in. The grounds are vast, the chalets are well spaced out, there is a sense of real peace and tranquility - the sound of running water from the nearby river, birds chirping, nearby woodland, stand up paddle boards and sit on canoes available to borrow free of charge to meander down the river with. The accommodation itself is very well thought out and very good quality. Even in the compact chalet which we were in there was a large walk in shower and plenty of covered space outside in which we could have our meals and relax. Hot tub is well maintained and was already warmed for our arrival. We came here to have a base from which to take part in the Ultimate Triathlon at Ellesmere. We'll certainly come back and stay here again next time.

We spent a wonderful two nights here. The lodge and the location were beautiful. There was so much to do for a short break with a warm, modern swimming pool, sauna and steam room kept immaculately and on-site spa treatments. I had two massages and they were both incredible. The service from the whole staff was excellent, including lodge delivery service for food. The children had a wonderful time and so did we. We’ll be back! Thank you so much to Gabriella and the team.

I absolutely love this place, it's such a beautiful cabin and the surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful. lots of lovely walks close by. 2nd time staying and will definitely be back.

A lovely, immaculate place to stay loved how rural it was. A place I would defiantly return to in the future. great hosts
