Reviews
Lovely cottages, very clean, totally accessible. Bathrooms in particular were very well thought through. Kitchen was very well equipped. Gardens were beautiful, totally accessible and flowers divine. There was good communication with volunteers. Thank you for providing such wonderful, well thought out premises.
The cottages are very well-equipped and were ideal for my mother-in-law's reduced mobility. All the Lyneal volunteers we met were very pleasant and helpful. The gardens are beautiful and the position by the canal was idyllic. We enjoyed our day trip on Shropshire Lady very much. We appreciated the excellent Wi-Fi, particularly as we had no mobile phone reception. This is probably the best holiday cottage we have stayed in for location and catering for my mother-in-law's needs.
On arrival we were greeted by a warm welcome. Cottages are very nice, comfy and clean. Lovely garden space to sit in, nice to watch the canal boats go past. Lots of nice places to visit and eat not too far away. We have enjoyed our stay here.
Another holiday spent with the Lyneal Trust proving once again how outstanding the charity, trustees and all volunteers are. A perfect day on the boat with Peter as our skipper, always a day to remember. Each year we get to see more investments made at Lyneal Wharf, this year was no exception. We look forward to our next visit here to enjoy the peace that Lyneal Wharf offers. We have had a lovely holiday, made many special memories and met some lovely people.
We have been very impressed and pleased by The Lyneal Trust as a whole. Everyone we have spoken to has been beyond helpful. We have loved staying here - it is so quiet and peaceful. There has been enough room for all the equipment we have to bring; the kitchen has everything we need, the beds are incredibly comfortable and it is just an amazing place to have a holiday!
