Timberdyne Reviews

A wonderful property and location with an amazing host that was happy to help and lovely to interact with. Everything was as advertised and the pictures dont do it justice, would recommend to anyone looking for a break with friends or family.
Kathryn
Wonderful family weeks holiday.
Bridget
Beautiful property. Lovely location Everything exactly as described. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
Jackie
Timberdyne is a lovely property and there is plenty to see and do in the area. There were a few small issues with items needing maintenance the owner was communicative and a neighbour was on hand to assist. The Salwey Arms is a short walk away and the food is excellent book a table as it gets very busy.
Anneka
This property was such a joke we left our holiday early. Hot tub a third full, with dirt and stones in the bottom, therefore unusable during our stay. Cleaners rude, gave false information, and were not ready for us and so stopped us entering the property at our designated check in time. Huge pile of dog poo in the garden. Appliances no manuals for anything so couldn't use the coffee machine and had to Google the use of the hob. Remotes everywhere, most didn't work. Parking owners have allowed a neighbour to park his car in the garage, and he will approach you during your holiday for access. Communications owners do not answer the phone, nor do they respond effectively to messages, unless you've left the property and they want to know if you've left a cap behind
Sharon
Lovely house with many features to keep a family gathering occupied. It is well decorated and stylish and the outside facilities are great hot tub, pizza oven, barbeque and a lovely patio area, although the grass in the garden was a little too long to enjoy, but ok for our dog to run round in. The trampoline was a great success for our grandson! We had a small problem with the hot water, but the gentleman who popped over was very helpful and friendly and it was soon sorted. Excellent house for our Easter stay
Lovely stay in a well equipped and comfortably furnished house with good facilities. Hot tub was welcome during the excellent weather during our stay South facing. Pizza oven was appreciated. Ludlow nearby and interesting to visit.
Timberdyne fully lives up to the description and is a fantastic place for a break. Very quite position but convenient for the pub plus local Asda for stuff you've forgotten along with 2 great NT properties plus nearby forests for walking and cycling. The children were very happy to entertain themselves in the play house and on the trampoline. Many thanks.
Gareth
This is a superb property and very special place to stay for a holiday. Think luxury, space, peace, calm views, privacy, great facilities for children and a good garden for dog. The log burning hot tub and pizza oven were a novelty. The balcony and outdoor seating was luxurious. Outdoor trampoline was fun. The coffee machine, once mastered, was a real hit! We loved our stay. Too many pluses to mention! One thing I forgot to mention to owner was the heavy winds had opened up the adjoining fence to the neighbours garden, meaning it wasn't dog proof for any very curious dog our was fine, we just put a pot in the gap. Just mentioning it so the owners are aware it could do with maintenance. Thanks for a fabulous stay!
