Previous visitors' comments about The Old Workshop:
Situation of the cottage for walking. Being able to bring the dog with us. Wood-burning stove was excellent. Friendly, helpful owners.
Mr Foster, Lutterworth, January 2012
The peace and quiet and the total lack of street lighting around the cottage made it feel that you were in the middle of nowhere although it is not far to the lovely towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury. We loved the log burner which kept the cottage cosy and warm. We loved looking at the shooting stars in the sky on clear nights. Good walks from the cottage. Loved it.

In a great location if you like total peace and quiet. The Ludlow food centre on the A49 has some wonderful local produce.
