“The cottage is very rural.”

Situated on a working farm. Very comfortable good facilities and so relaxing. The owners are on site and there to help if you need anything. Plenty to do in the surounding area or just sit back relax and enjoy the views

Loved this cottage & being an old dairy it was very cool in the heatwave when we visited - had everything we needed -ideally situated for visiting the whole of Shropshire

“The cottage is in an idyllic situation nestled at the foot of the Wrekin.”

The whole complex was well set out and we were made very welcome by the owners (including cake). We had a wonderful holiday in stunning countryside and would definitely return to the area again.

“A very clean and comfortable cottage.”

A working farm but we were well looked after and the owners were available if required. A beautiful part of Shropshire, sitting at the base of the Wrekin.
Mr Jenkins July 2018

“The cottage didn't seem to have been properly serviced.”

Items were missing and it was not cleaned. The property was at the end of a very long single track road with no other access.

“Peace, TRanquil and Cosy”

If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable place then look no further. The various sized properties are on a working farm at the end of a narrow lane in the quiet village of Leighton, but within in easy reach of most of the Shropshire attractions: Ironbridge, Telford, Shrewsbury etc. And for walkers The Wrekin is on the doorstep. The property we stayed in is a beautifully converted dairy barn that sleeps 2 people. The property is well fitted out and shows that a great deal of care has been put in by the owners. If like me you crave peace and quiet, comfort, hospitality and scenery this is for you, it has it all. Although its a working farm the herd is a beef herd and the only sound in the morning is the birds!! The owners are very hospitable, although we didn’t get to see them much, but the little welcome present of home cooked cakes, when we arrived was a lovely touch. Overall a lovely venue, although we only stayed for the weekend, we will most definitely be back.

“Idyllic little cottage in beautiful area”

We stayed here in late January for 10 days as we had to be in the area for family and did not fancy the time in a hotel (or the cost). We followed the directions from the website to the letter and found the farm straight away and were greated by Derek and Molly the Collie. The cottage was all ready for us and warm and we had a lovely homemade cake awaiting our arrival. All the utensils required were in the kitchen and the on site laundry facility proved so useful too. The area is central to not only the ironbridge gorge museums but also the shopping areas of Telford and Shrewsbury a little further away. The Wrekinis a short drive away for walking and the lanes are relatively quiet too. All I all we wiould highly recommend the dairy

“Peaceful Scenic and nice people”

Finding this place was the only initial problem, but it was worth it. Very close to Ironbridge gorge museums. Very friendly owners.
