Beautiful countryside, but you will need a car at all times. Needed some extra dishwasher tablets (but the owner did offer to reimburse us if we bought some) and the single bed is a bit creaky, albeit very comfortable. Would thoroughly recommend - dark skies, peace and quiet, woodburner - glorious :-)

The Kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances for cooking our christmas dinner, wood for the fire, lovely walks just a shame we didn't have an extra day to explore more. The only down side for me was sleeping in the single bed, not sure if it was the base but it was very creaky!! But overall a lovely place to stay :)

We booked this as a base to explore the Shropshire towns and countryside and visit family just over the border in Wales. We were three generations, plus our dog, and all thoroughly enjoyed a very peaceful stay. We actually arrived, having travelled through a terrible storm with heavy rain and flooding on many roads. Despite this, it was like an oasis and once we settled, and the flooding abated, the rest of the week was brilliant.
