Comfortable but not luxurious
Shaw End Mansion is an impressive building that has been converted into 4 apartments. We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment upstairs. First impressions were good. The rooms are all large with very high ceilings. The lounge is very nicely decorated with 2 big comfortable settees - plenty of space for all of us. Whilst nicely presented, I would not describe it as luxurious. The bedrooms are all ok but the pillows are very flat and mattresses not the best. There is no shower in the bathroom which means everyone had to use the ensuite shower room which is tiny! Only 1 of the 3 windows in the lounge could be opened and the window in the master bedroom couldn't be opened as the sashes were broken. The window frames were rotten but I think the owners are in the process of replacing the windows in the whole mansion. The welcome tray amounts to a few sachets of coffee, milk and teabags and a couple of biscuits - similar to a travel lodge which is not what I was expecting for a luxurious property. The view from the property is stunning with plenty of space for children to run, or for local walks (suggested walk on a printed card in the apartment was a nice touch). It wasn't possible to flyfish on the river as too many trees around, not that there were any fish present anyway! Parking can be tricky as shared with another house - wouldn't be enough for 2 cars for each apartment. Some people were therefore parking in front of the house which obscures the view for those downstairs.
