House holiday rentals in Bishop's Castle

We spent a fabulous couple of days at The Forge. The place is as described - very comfortable and fully equipped for an escape to the countryside. We loved the thoughtful welcome basket of goodies too. Set in extensive grounds and with plenty of local walking, it was a chance to completely unwind and relax. A big thank you to Mel, the property manager, who provided full and clear information and was friendly and responsive to our queries.

Such a lovely place to stay. We only booked for two nights and wish we had been there for longer. Lots of really interesting features (a suit of armour! A harp!) in a well stocked house. Very comfortable beds and sofas, beautiful views (we especially enjoyed all the bird nesting in the eaves), gorgeous interior, starry Dark Skies and nice hosts - what's not to love? Great parking. Wish we could have had a few more nights, to check out the pub just down the road.

We LOVED our stay here! The home is fabulous, so many spacious rooms to explore, each one decorated in a great way. The outdoor space is amazing, and was such a highlight of our stay, from the stunning countryside views, the lush pool, the immaculate sauna out building (a hot tub on the balcony or outside would be a cherry on top of a delicious cake). We also loved that the house was so well stocked in the kitchen and cupboards throughout the house, which made it easier and more enjoyable to just chill at the house. Everyone said that they're beds were super comfy too. The neighbours were very welcoming and helpful too, it was a lovely start to our stay meeting Les! It was easy to communicate with the host, and they messaged us 24 hours before check out to let us know we could check out later which was fab. Would definitely recommend staying here with a big group, plenty of space for everyone with a fab social dining table. Diolch yn fawr

Beautiful house in a lovely setting. As you'd expect, not a lot of entertainment immediately locally outside of the house other than walks (be warned footpaths are not maintained and impassible in places) but you don't book a place like this if you want hustle and bustle. Pool, hot tub and fire pit all great. Games room is in a separate building to the main house and so wasn't used as much as perhaps otherwise could have. Hosts are great and very welcoming, but they do live right next door which might not be everyone's cup of tea. It wasn't a big issue for us and we were left to our own devices. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Hosts very accommodating if required and good communication 👍

Beautiful property. The house is huge—we joked that we probably wouldn’t use all of the rooms—but we did. The whole experience felt luxurious—seriously, a pool? We had trouble with the sauna—better directions would be helpful—but the issue was addressed speedily. And I don’t know why people complain about the lumber yard; we noticed nothing. Hats off to Phoebe and Jan!

Beautiful place in the countryside. Lovely to meet the various animals!

Amazing value for money. We stayed in Oak cottage and it was very spacious and had the most beautiful views! The pool and hot tub were such a brilliant addition. Danielle was a brilliant host and very responsive. We will definitely be back again, thank you so much!

What a beautiful place to stay. We weee so lucky there was a last minute opening to book as it is usually booked up (we heated from Sally the host). Stunningly decorated, well equipped, incredibly peaceful and stunning surroundings. An incredibly helpful host. The swimming pool was an added luxury. Definitely returning for more getaways here.

Beautiful clean & comfortable accommodation in gorgeous gardens. Very peaceful but lots to see & do within a short drive. Lovely bottle of wine on arrival & fresh milk for a much needed cup of tea 🙂. Emma was friendly & called in to check everything was ok but left us to ourselves although she was nearby if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend The Bothy for a relaxing stay. Thank you

Lovely little get away for us and the doggy. Nice to be away from a busy road, so peaceful and quiet.

We loved this property. Some very nice touches and welcoming bottle of Prosecco and Welsh cakes plus other bits and bobs ie milk, butter, bread, tea etc. Good quality kitchen appliances, crockery, glasses and cutlery and plentiful. The beds were very comfortable and the bed linen/towels were excellent. Every aspect of the property was very clean. Everything we required was available and we felt very ‘at home’. Thank you Julie for making our stay very enjoyable.

Lovely, peaceful place in a beautiful setting. Spotless accommodation. Everything we expected and more!

Allison and Neil both greeted us as soon as we arrived , couldn't ask for nicer hosts, Allison shown us around and gave lots of information on the cottage and area , its in a very quiet location yet not far from either Shrewsbury one way or into the countryside the other way ,the scenery is terrific, we could of just stayed and not gone anywhere its so well situated, the only downside is the time went so fast and we where packing to leave before we knew it, we only stayed 2 nights , next time we will stay a lot longer so please leave us space so we can come back 😀 ,cant recommend enough , Amazing ,scenic,quiet ,well maintained and fantastic hosts .

A fabulous place to stay. incredibly convenient for access to the beautiful Shropshire hills and some fantastic hiking. The place itself is a home from home and we really appreciated the little touches like the muffins. We would recommend to anyone and would love to come back.

It was a great place, well located for Shrewsbury town centre with a pleasant walk along the river to get there. I would definately stay here again. Note: finding the property can be tricky when following 'sat nav', and working out how to reverse a car into the off-road drive required a bit of strategic thought, but that all seemed to add to the experience!

A lovely place to stay in a perfect location right in the middle of Ludlow. We felt really at home and comfortable as well as being stylish and interesting to stay in. Annie gave us loads of recommendations which were great and meant we had four really great days. Thanks so much.

We have just got home after a delightful weekend stay at the Granary hosted by Clare & Alex. We were in the area for the 'Springtime in Shropshire' orienteering weekend so arrived at the Granary after the first race in the evening. The directions were good and specific and we were able to get the keys out of the key safe and get straight in. The house was lovely, nicer than the pictures and equipped with everything we needed. Immaculate bathroom and lots of piping hot water. Although the weather was a little blustery we even got to sit outside for a little while on Sunday afternoon after the race before we went inside to cook dinner and relax in front of the TV. Overall, a lovely place to stay, we had a great weekend. Many thanks.

My stay at Jonathan's was fantastic, he is a very kind and hospitable host. He provided many local recommendations for eateries and has a folder full of sightseeing (and history) in the surrounding area. The accommodation is cosy, very clean and had everything we needed. It is a very peaceful location where you can enjoy the sound of the countryside (plus a little car traffic but nothing that disturbs you). Thank you so much for hosting us!

House was great as our families could be on their own level for the bedrooms. House was clean and beds comfortable. Ample space for our three cars and the lawned areas were great for the kids to play. Plenty of cupboards, large utility.

We had a lovely stay, the cottage and the sun house with pizza oven is all done beautifully. We had a cosy evening by the log burner and also a nice warm day in the garden. For us it was also very useful to be able to charge our electric car and this made exploring Wales easy. Annette was really helpful and thoughtful on check in.

We only have one complaint ….. we wish we could have stayed longer!!! Fantastic place which is extremely well equipped. Ana, Ed and family were really welcoming, friendly and available for advice without being intrusive. Great place would recommend for a quiet get away and base to explore the area. Great walking from the doorstep. We hope to return👍

Everything about our stay with Ben and Vicky was brilliant. Vicky is the most delightful host. (We didn't meet Ben.) We had lovely chats with her, she was so helpful and very accommodating and understanding particularly around being clear about the use of chemicals in the cleaning product as one of us has chemical sensitivities. The location is gorgeous. The cottage itself beautiful, tastefully decorated, comfortable and pristine. I can't say enough wonderful things about the place and the people. Thank you so much Vicky - It was an absolute delight.

Brilliant stay! The house was bigger than expected with a lovely large garden. The host was very responsive to any questions we had and was helpful in providing lots of information about the location. The house is in a lovely quiet location with a short drive from Ludlow. Ludlow is beautiful and would highly recommend. Overall, a great air bnb and would highly recommend.

The property was outstanding! What you get in real life is even better than what you see in the photos! The property is large with amazing grounds you can walk around with rolling girls bordering the property boundary. The Gatehouse makes a beautiful backdrop for photos. We loved this space!
