Previous visitors' comments about The Wainscott:

The barn and its surroundings were fabulous. It was perfectly located for us to explore Shropshire.
Mrs Baylis, Manchester, October 2009

The cottage was warm and comfortable and in a lovely setting. The owners made us very welcome.
Ms Broom, Ipswich, October 2009

The location surrounding the property was excellent. The owners were extremely helpful and very hospitable. The property is very comfortable and having a wood burner in the lounge is great. Our young children thoroughly enjoyed the garden!
