“The owners were very friendly and welcoming, and the cottage gave us everything we needed to meet our requirements, whilst we were away from home.”

The location was ideal for walking in lovely countryside, good shopping in Shrewsbury, and accessing some lovely pubs / food (Burlston Arms / Red Lion @ Myddle). Would definitely recommend Acorn Cottage.

“Had a wonderful time at Acorn Cottage 1.”

Everything was very clean. Beautiful surroundings very peaceful, with the only sounds coming from the sheep, cows and the occasional car down the lane. We were in awe of how many stars we saw at night from the cottage. Robert and Barbara were perfect hosts, lovely with our children. We will be back hopefully very soon.

“Another great stay - we decided to come back as the cottage is near to many places, but with plenty of space around to allow for all your social distancing needs.”

Very quiet spot, with plenty of great walks right on your door step. The cottage was thoroughly cleaned before our stay and all the fixtures and fittings looked brand new. Robert & Barbara are great hosts and the milk & biscuits on arrival were very welcome - as were the nice flowers. We explored a range of different places, Hawkstone follies was a good day out and Shrewsbury is only 30 mins (max) away. The Burlton pub remains good, and is an easy 20 min walk from the cottage.

“A great place to stay, well decorated, great facilities, and really nice setting.”

owners are lovely and little touches like milk and biscuits on arrival were really appreciated. The property is surrounded by some great, and some challenging walks -something for everyone. Enjoyed the walk from Clod mere to Ellsemere along the canal - worth doing and stopping at the boat house for a spot of lunch too. Although feels like its in the middle of nowhere (exactly what we were looking for), its still really close to a wide range of places. 30 mins from Shrewsbury, lots of great restaurants and cafes and handy supermarkets. The farm shop in Baschurch is really good too, highly recommend a visit there. Highly recommend this cottage

“Acorn Cottage is situated in a beautiful village Petton.”

The surroundings are so tranquil for a restful and quiet break. The cottage is well equipped with all the mod cons and is squeaky clean. The kitchen has all the amenities along with a dishwasher and washing machine which made our stay very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms. Acorn Cottage has everything we could ask for. Barbara and Robert gave us a very warm welcome to Acorn Cottage. They are extremely friendly and provided us with lots of information about sightseeing as well as gourmet pubs to get good food. The church in Petton is gorgeous and definitely worth a visit. The chicken and ducks that Robert keeps are an absolute delight. To sum up Acorn cottage is a wonderful cottage and the hosts are amazing.

“We have just had the most wonderful 5 nights at this cottage.”

We didn’t want to come home! When we first arrived, we couldn’t stop saying “wow!”. Immaculately clean and extremely well equipped and comfortable. The finest of details had been thought of. Little touches like this make all the difference. Beautiful, peaceful setting, with resident ducks and chickens. It was well located for many local sightseeing attractions. Most things we wanted to do were only 30-40 minutes drive away. Lovely pub 5 minutes down the road for delicious meals, although you have everything you need to cook in the cottage. The owners are absolutely lovely. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home right away. We can’t wait until our next visit!
