Hi, I am Suzanne, owner of Pass the Keys, East Shropshire and Stafford. Having lived here all my life, I have a true passion for my local area.

    • Shelley Grandfield 02/04/2026
      I liked: Located close to town, lovely little garden right by the river. Clean and comfortable, had all the basics you need for a short stay. Really nice to arrive to a little welcome pack, of biscuits, chocolate etc. I did not like: No bins in any rooms other than kitchen and bathroom. Coffee machine a bit grubby and needs descaling, and cutlery, mugs etc needed another clean before using. Fridge Freezer a bit small for a larger party. Lots of stairs and only one bathroom on the lower level so not great if you have mobility issues. Parking is tight, but we did manage to get 3 cars parked. Summary: Lovely Historical House. ...

      I liked: It was clean Nicely furnished I did not like: Two of the bedrooms were singles with a double bed jammed in, very small. The position was not good, long walk up a steep hill to the town. Only one bathroom and toilet . Also, they use a company called pass the keys to manage their bookings, make sure you page all the way down to the fine print Because I didn't (after using booking.com for many years and reaching genius level 3) I was caught I had to prove my identity on a website called truvi (rated 2.2 on trustpilot) and either give them a £500 deposit which would be refunded minus a £10 charge after 10 days or pay a non refundable £40 damage waiver Blackmailed into paying this or would have lost the £400 booking fee Booking.com of no help Summary: DEFINITELY NOT A TEN ...
