Reviews…

Ramblers, Shrewsbury – May 2019

The Gables is excellent! This is a truly wonderful place to rest and recuperate. The house is very spacious and has many quirky and interesting features. The garden is delightful – quiet and private at the back, and you’re ‘The King of the Castle’ at the front. We’ll have to come back again, a week simply isn’t long enough!

We found The Gables to be ideal for a group of ramblers. The flexible accommodation allows for couples or singles. The house is equipped to a very high standard and Tywardreath village has the best of both worlds, being away from the crowds but so well placed for buses and trains. A walkers paradise with well signed routes on the doorstep!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Richard – August 2019

The house is spacious, comfortably furnished and clean. The host has provided very helpful notes around the property which really assist with understanding how to get the best out of your time there, be it understanding how to operate the washing machine, or the best place to get fish and chips. The host was super at answering queries, both before and after arrival. I would heavily recommend this property and host.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Waistell Family

We really enjoyed the veranda for breakfast, drinks and dinner. It felt very sophisticated! The whole house feels luxurious and is so well equipped. All the games were great too. Regular Connect 4 contests and The Viking game. No need for the telly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pete – October 2019

The Gables is a lovely house. There is lots of room and character. There is more than enough facilities for a large family. We have had a great week.
Our grandchildren loved the house and all the board games.
