The weather wasn’t brilliant but we still found plenty to do with the two dogs, lots of great walks. The cottage “calf shed” was very professionally fitted out, very homely and comfortable there was nothing more the owners could have done to make our stay any more pleasurable. I recommend a meal at the local pub “Church Inn” if you enjoy large portions for a reasonable price then it’s the place to visit. We would definitely recommend to family and friends and we would book again. Sue n Lee (Shropshire)
