Superb property and hosts. Beautifully presented with everything ( and more) that we could have wanted. Exceptionally clean!! Hot tub lovely ,surroundings lovely too. The hosts provided excellent communication and were on hand if any problems arose. Great location for Shrewsbury which was visited via a local taxi. We will be staying again as soon as we can .

Superb property with superb hosts

We have visited many lovely holiday properties over the years but The Pigeon House has to be the best. Elaine and Adam (the owners) have designed an exceptional building with fantastic facilities. They have also put a huge amount of effort into providing a level of service and information that makes you feel special. They are also keen to get guest feedback so they can fine tune an already excellent experience. We cannot recommend The Pigeon House highly enough.

Beautiful property

We have just returned from a week away at Pigeon House. I can't fault the property - or the owners! Elaine and Adam were always quick to respond to queries and were on hand but kept a respectful distance. Pigeon House was spotlessly clean when we arrived and Elaine gave us a guided tour and showed us how everything worked. It was very well-equipped. Both bedrooms were lovely and the en-suites perfect - good showers, plenty of room (and toilet rolls!) more than enough towels and hand/body wash and body lotion. Elaine and Adam had thought of just about everything to make our stay enjoyable. Even the woodburner was set. Unfortunately we didn't get to use it as the heating in Pigeon House is too good! The hot tub is great and was checked over every day. It's only five miles from Shrewsbury and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants around. I wouldn't hesitate to return if we get the chance!
