We received a nice friendly welcome from our hosts. The property was set in a secluded location. Lovely cosy rooms, especially the lounge with the woodburner.

A comfortable cottage in an outstanding area.

Cosy, well-furnished cottage, close to lots of walks and other attractions. Ideal for exploring Shropshire and the surrounding countryside.

The woodburner in the inglenook fireplace was lovely as well as the peace, quiet and outdoor space for the dog.
