A group of 21 (20 plus a 7 months old) of us stayed for three nights at the very beginning of the school summer holidays.
The Rookery had been recommended by a friend 8 years ago! She said how fantastic it was but we needed an occasion which required a large party..que a 21st birthday celebration.
The accommodation was perfect. So spacious. You can tell that every aspect had been well thought out when planning this purpose built holiday home. The downstairs w/c being one.
Every bedroom has its own ensuite. The birthday girl knew which was her room straight away as she loves a bath (a great additional feature). The views are spectacular. The main living space allows for socialising all within the one room, either as one large group or within smaller groups with its well thought out modular spaces. Loads of space for dancing too!
We couldn't connect to the speaker system and there was no cork screw (but we borrowed from our neighbours having a birthday celebration of their own at the Kingfisher). We pre-planned and prepared our main meals for the weekend and managed to fit the food in the American fridge freezer! Friday make your own pizza night was a breeze with the huge kitchen island and multiple ovens. Loads of parking space, the list of positives is endless. The doors were a little noisy even when trying to be quiet but safety comes first and again that's another positive feature as not all holiday accommodation fit internal fire doors. Thank you to everyone at the Dinney. Your business is a credit to you & your team. Oh & your baking is exceptional too. What a lovely touch to add a homemade victoria sponge, chocolate cake and balloons. We are already planning our next visit as we would love to stay at one (or more) of your other holiday properties soon.

We hired Rookery Cottage for the whole week so that our relatives and friends from France, Switzerland and Ireland could stay on after the main weekend party. We also hired the Kingfisher and Garden Cottages plus 3 B & B rooms for the Friday and Saturday and the 44 residents were joined by around 45 local friends for the food, drinks and disco in the Rookery Garden, overlooking the Chelmarsh Reservoir. It was also the ideal setting for an Anglo-French Boules match for the Ricard Cup.

Our 2nd stay at The Rookery in 2025 and, guess what, it was even more enjoyable than the first . Hard to believe, I know. In fact some of our group are returning later this year to stay in one of the smaller cottages. Beautiful countryside, lovely well appointed accommodation and the friendliest of owners. I know it’s easy to say but I can’t imagine how anyone could be disappointed.

There's nothing bad to say about this place. It's our second time and our party of 13 60-somethings have already booked for 2026, so that should be enough of a recommendation for anyone. I could write about the positive stuff but it's all detailed in the accurate online listing. Over the last 40 years, our large group of friends have met each year in a variety of large UK houses for a few nights at a time and this, without exception, is the best we've stayed in. Just book it, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic property, so comfortable and well equipped. Karen was on hand with any help needed. Icing on the cake was the two scrummy cakes provided at our arrival. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great venue

We needed a place to stay for a family celebration and holiday. We found The Rookery to be ideal. With nine bedrooms all with really good quality en suite facilities, everyone was very happy with their accommodation. Set in beautiful, peaceful countryside some older family members were able to relax and enjoy the location while others were able to go to some of the nearby visitor attractions. On the week we stayed the weather was excellent and most of our party enjoyed at least one walk from the site. Had the weather not been so kind it was nice to see the table tennis table and table football provided as well as books and indoor games. Had our party included children I am sure the small football field would have been a great attraction.
The kitchen and shower rooms were all extremely well equipped with high quality fittings and accessories, and the beds were very comfortable too!

Cannot fault anything at Rookery cottage. The bedrooms are a delight - large, airy and well decorated. The open plan lounge, dining area and modern kitchen are also exceptional. The kitchen is well equipped and user-friendly. The games room was useful for those members of our party who wanted to watch sport.
The patio area has plenty of outdoor seating and a lovely view. The gas BBQ was also a good feature.
We were a party of 13 adults and we all had a fantastic time. This was our second visit and just as good as we remembered it from 2024. Looking forward to visiting again in 2026!

The Rookery at Dinney Farm is a truly stunning building with nine en-suite bedrooms and plenty of space for everyone to relax. The kitchen is beautiful and the views are just lovely. Lots of great walks in the area, including riverside walks with views of the gorgeous Shropshire countryside. All the rooms are spacious doubles, so no-one will feel as if they've been landed with a dud. We had such a brilliant three nights here and didn't want to leave!

We are a group of 8 ladies who meet up once a year in the Shropshire area for a long weekend. We've hired many different properties over the years and The Rookery knocked them all out of the park! Stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings, beautifully appointed and well-thought out accommodation, spacious bedrooms with comfy beds and all en suite. We'd booked for next year before we left!
Thanks also to Karen the manager for being very helpful with any of our questions and so welcoming. The homemade cakes left in the kitchen for us were a real treat!

Well what can I say other than what a fabulous place you have at The Dinney, although you probably know that already. I had high expectations for the accommodation at The Rookery and, oh boy, I was not disappointed at all, in fact my expectations were more than exceeded.The Rookery is perfect, well appointed, spacious, comfortable accommodation up there with the best of them. As a group of 15, we couldn’t have asked for more to make our celebrations so special, well done to the team at The Dinney.

The Rookery was the ideal location to celebrate my 50th Birthday with friends.
Spacious living area to eat drink and dance!
bedrooms all en suite and built in wardrobes loads of space.
Hosts are really responsive and helpful before and during our stay. They have thought about everything you would need for a stay away from home.
Thank You
