Absolutely magical place. Quiet and beautiful location. The house was lovely with everything you could need and more provided. The welcome hamper was such a nice touch. Would stay again and again.
What a fabulous review for our special property Bull Hollow Cottage - we agree, it is magical! Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback.
The setting of Bull Hollow was idyllic, so peaceful & surrounded by trees. The house is full of character but quite shabby inside & not up to the usual Rural Retreats standard to which we have become accustomed over the last 10 years.
We spent a relaxing and enjoyable week in this fairy tale cottage set in beautiful gardens and woodland. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming, just a perfect retreat from our city life.
Absolutely stunning, peaceful and private. The garden is lovely. One gripe, various kitchen utensils had bits of food stuck to them as did the bottom of the dishwasher. A minor niggle in a beautiful place
It was perfect ,our second time at bull cottage and will definitely go again.
The house and beautiful garden was perfect for our stay to celebrate my husbands 60th the hamper was a lovely touch we really didn't want to leave
Another amazing stay at Bull Hollow. Just love the peace and tranquility. A wonderful base to return to after exploring Shropshire. Our nervous dog absolutely loves relaxing in the beautiful garden, as do we.
Our second visit to Bull Hollow. Lovely cottage in a beautiful, isolated location. With the garden, stream and woods it's an ideal place to relax.
It's honestly the most magical cottage and setting. Plenty to see in the local area, and lots of pubs too, but we just didn't want to leave the beautiful garden!
A beautiful cottage in a lovely woodland garden setting, spotlessly clean with a lovely hamper to start our stay, so full marks. We had good weather so didn't need a log fire but it was still very tempting, only problem is you want to be there throughout the summer to see every part of the garden as it blooms and we bet the wild strawberries are lovely.
A lovely cottage in beautiful countryside. A delightful garden with the stream and it was all so peaceful. We would happily come back again.
This was our 3rd stay at the cottage and it was as lovely as before. Very comfortable, high quality accommodation. Absolutely perfect for a couple. It's a beautiful space inside and out. You are surrounded by greenery and nature. Our dog was in 7th heaven too. And it's great having the covered veranda to enjoy a glass of wine outside in the rain! Then moving inside into the cosy living room. A very special place.
Excellent Will definitely be back So peaceful
We had such a relaxing stay in this lovely cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and the setting surrounded by forest is amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there and would definitely go back.
2nd time to this fairytale home. So quiet and rural. Lovely hamper. Great company rural retreat. The main downside though,are the prices. Two - Three times more than others. Also, please allow the bless fortunate to have more time to pay..
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage very much. The garden is maintained to a very high standard while still presenting a natural feel. The mist rising off the water in the mornings looked very magical. If you are looking at the wood from Google Maps be aware not all of it is accessible unless you are willing to scramble up very steep slopes. The location was very quiet in terms of car traffic however I do have to mention we were "buzzed" by trainee helicopter pilots from RAF Shawbury for extended periods which was loud enough to upset the dog and disturb us. There is no mobile phone signal (O2 anyway) on the property unless you have WiFi calling enabled, although a signal did appear when standing by the wheelie bins. On the subject of the bins, they can be accessed via the garden, you do not need to walk down the narrow lane.
Beautiful setting, wonderful walks, dog loved these Great place, comfortable bed. Great facilities. Lovely welcome hamper.
Amazing place, garden and surrounding woodland are beautiful. Perfect place to stop with dogs, our two loved it
Bull Hollow was Heaven on earth to us. It was so secluded and tranquil, we didn’t want to leave. The house is beautiful and the gardens so impressive and beautifully maintained. There was a fantastic hamper provided on arrival, which was such a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Thank you to the owners and everyone who obviously work so hard to make this such a special place. A complete escape from the stresses of modern life. We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.
A perfect holiday location for us. Quiet location, local walks, birdsong, wildlife and comfort.
