Jonathan
We enjoyed our stay, communication was excellent and the property was ideal for our needs.
Very cozy and clean home which is spacious enough for 8 people. Had everything you could need in the kitchen however the oven was a bit hit and miss but that could be just our misuse! Beds were very comfy too! Amanda was very welcoming and told us all we needed to know for our weekend stay. Definitely recommend for a weekendweek with friends or family

Samera
Absolutely brilliant stay. House was so beautiful and clean. It's fully equipped aswell, so you don't need to take anything other than food. it's located in the perfect location, its within 20 to 30mins to local attractions. Mind blowing experience it's was. would definitely recommend.
On arrival we and dogs had a warm friendly welcome from Amanda. Once heating etc explained we were left to enjoy our weekend stay. The cottage was spotlessly clean & warm with enough seating for 8 of us,kitchen well planned storage wise with everything you could possibly need with large cooker and plenty of empty cupboard space for guests to use. Bedrooms large and airy with comfy beds. Large bathroom with good shower. Garden lovely, plenty of sitting areas, dogs could run free as enclosed. Will hopefully book Laurgeths House again in the future as it had a lovely homely feel to it.
We had a wonderful week at the property. It is very comfortable, the garden is beautiful and it was perfect for the 8 of us. Great location within the lovely little town and plenty of places to eat and drink within very easy walking distance.
Jacqui
Felt lucky to be staying at such a lovely cottage which provided everything we needed. Spotlessly clean and spacious. The garden was wonderful, fully enclosed, which is a must for us with two dogs for peace if mind. Lots of different sitting out areas, spoilt for choice for a gin & tonic after a lovely day's walking in beautiful Shropshire Hills. It was great to be able to meet Amanda our host on arrival & who was kind enough to come & say goodbye before our departure. A great stay.

Sharon
Our first time away over the Christmas period as a family and Laurgeths House was a home from home. The Kitchen so well equipped and we loved the open plan kitchen diner. Amanda the owner was so welcoming and accommodating, house was decorated for Christmas. Decor of the whole house was beautiful, bathroom and bedrooms stunning. We will definitely be back to make the most of the fantastic garden in the warmer weather. There was 7 adults in our group, plenty of room for us all Fabulous stay and would recommend for everyone.
A beautiful well maintained clean and spacious cottage with a lovely garden with lots of little hubs to sit and relax and take in the views. Amanda was really welcoming and met us to ensure any questionsrequests are satisfied and was a mine of information about the village and the surrounding countryside. I hope be able to revisit soon as the cottage met and superseded the advertisement and is very fairly priced . Thank you Amanda
We thoroughly recommend this cottage. Very comfortable in all respects. It has a delightful garden which was great for the dog, entirely safe. Also lovely to sit out in. It is directly opposite the 3 Tuns pub and brewery, the food and local beer both being excellent. The owner of the cottage was there to meet us and is very friendly and helpful. It is in a great position for enjoying the many walks across the hills or exploring the small towns. We definitely hope to return!
Maureen
Enjoyed our stay. The hostess was really helpful. The house was clean and well equipped and the beautiful cottage style garden offered a variety of different seating options. In the house games were provided.
Carolyn
Very comfortable and well located property with lovely garden. Well equipped and nice welcome from the owner. Would be helpful to state in details that hairdryers are provided. Thanks.
Gregory
We visited Laurgeths House as a base for a family holiday and could not have been more delighted! The house and garden are beautifully presented and maintained, and very comfortable. Our party of eight were very comfortable, particularly loved the well equipped kitchen. Weather permitting we could dine outside in the large garden and views from the back of the house are stunning. Thank you for the stay, the warm welcome and brilliant communication from the proprietor and we will definitely return! Oh yes, Bishops Castle itself is a hidden and unspoilt gem.
Teresa
7 of us stayed, my husband and I, with 3 grown up sons and 2 partners, for a long weekend in August. It's a beautiful house and garden, very nicely laid out. Decor and furniture ideal for a big group. There is everything provided that you could think of needing plus extras. Comfortable and tastefully decorated without the clutter of ones home. It was so nice to be able to go back there in the evening to spend time together. A lovely welcome from Amanda. I'd happily choose to stay here again. Plenty of small shops and pubs in the town and places to eat out. Very friendly locals too.
We had a lovely short stay at Laurgeths House, Amanda was very welcoming, the house and are gardens were beautiful. All you need for a self catering stay! Bishops Castle is a great quirky town we had meals at the Tree Tuns Brewery as well as The Castle Hotel both of which were fab. Would recommend a visit here!
What a gorgeous place! Classy and stylish interior decor and a well designed beautifully maintained garden. Kitchen was well laid out with everything you might need and we cooked most nights comfortable lounge and beautiful bedrooms. Shower was fabulous too. Host was friendly and approachable who lived close by. Cannot recommend highly enough. We took our 2 dogs and they thought it was heaven. We would love to return.
Tiffany
Lovely house and gardens. Very clean and well equipped. Highly recommend!
