A journey along a long narrow lane surrounded by peasants and other wildlife made you feel like you were hiding away from the world. A serene jump off point for so many interesting walks, museums and places of interest we can't wait to return. The stay was made even nicer by the lovely warm welcome we received from Derek and Joan - thanks for the beautiful home made rock cakes Joan, and we already miss gorgeous Mollie the adorable sheep dog. Can't recommend the place highly enough. Thank you again for a mu h needs break.

Fortunately the cottage was very warm and cosy and had all the facilities we needed. So although we could not do the sight-seeing and visiting we had hoped for we still enjoyed our break. The views of the Wrekin we could see without going outside were impressive especially as it disappeared with every snow flurry and re-appeared one stage whiter each time. The farm owners were very hospitable and offered us help if we needed it but were not at all intrusive. We would be very happy to go back there.

Gor the dairy instead so people who had booked didnt have to move out & back in. Very lovely people & dog, Molly on working farm in very quiet area. Barn owl flew over car on approach to house. So cosy & had everything we needed for weekend break. One place I would go back to & not just for homemade cake on arrival. Did find farm hard to find due to lack of lighting on road through but no real problem

About the location

LEIGHTON

Ironbridge 4 miles; Much Wenlock 6 miles; Shrewsbury 12 miles.

The historic village of Leighton, which is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1087, stands in the heart of beautiful Shropshire, and is only four miles from the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, home of the world's first iron-built bridge, built 1777-79. The Ironbridge Gorge is one of the country's most delightful tourist attractions; situated in a lovely wooded valley, the pretty village has many pubs, restaurants, shops and tea rooms. A collection of industrial and Victorian themed museums make up the Ironbridge Museums, including the renowned Blist Hill Victorian Village, where you can step back in time. Enjoy the nearby medieval towns of Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury and Ludlow, as well as many NT properties including Attingham Hall and Park, along with the fascinating Wroxeter Roman City and Vineyard. A wonderful all-year-round location.
