“I booked Robin as a place which I hoped would be quiet and peaceful.”
My expectations were exceeded as it turns out the view is of the pond, and that the neighbouring cabins are far enough away for me to feel relatively secluded and there are some lovely beds of shrubs which have been especially planted for additional privacy on the balcony. My expectations were also exceeded as this is a family run business which offers the personal touch; the owner and family members are super friendly, helpful and full of local knowledge and advice. My expectations were also exceeded in that Robin is actually brand new!! I was only the second person to stay so everything was spotless. In addition, I loved the well designed layout of the cabin and the balcony which allowed me to spend my entire time outdoors even during the rain showers. The surrounding area is beautiful and the country lanes are quiet which was perfect for walks, runs and blackberry picking. Also, the cooking facilities were enough for me to prepare all my meals as there is a well sized fridge which stored all my food for my stay. Although the village pub looked delightfully inviting, I didn't get the chance to try it out, but I did enjoy a delicious two course meal in the lovely garden of the nearby Three Pigeons on my journey down. All in all, I couldn't recommend Robin more highly, everything about my stay was just idyllic and was the perfect getaway for me to be able to write without any distractions!

Oswestry 6.9 miles; Shrewsbury 12.5 miles.
The small village of Kinnerley rests in the unspoilt Shropshire countryside, nestled between the villages of Dovaston and Pentre, with the nearest town being Oswestry. Many years ago, village was a stop on the now defunct Shropshire and Montgomery Railway, that ran from 1866 to 1960, whilst today it is mainly a residential village with a primary school, a church and a well-stocked shop that has fresh bread twice a week. Around the village are numerous walking and cycling routes which scale through the picturesque countryside.
