Catherine
Great communication from host's. Everything we needed, kitchen had everything you could want and welcome cake and wine was much appreciated. Log burner was an added bonus and replenishing our logs was no trouble. So peaceful, and no light pollution at night so had a great night's sleep. Great location for exploring Shropshire, we will definitely return if in the area again.

The wood burner was an added bonus on a cold evening. There was plenty of room for the four of us and the children loved the games (and Pippa the dog) to play with. Location is excellent with Ludlow round the corner and Wyre forest, Croft Castle and Carding Mill Valley a short drive away. Highly recommend.

It is in the countryside, on a working farm. The windows face away from the farmhouse, ensuring privacy, but the owners are on the spot and we found them most helpful about queries. The floors are flagged downstairs and polished wood upstairs, so slippers are strongly recommended! There is an excellent 'batterie de cuisine'. So nice to stay in a cottage where it is assumed that you may want to COOK, and that provides scales, mixing bowls, a grater, baking dishes saucepans etc accordingly! We stayed in December and used the wood burner: it is extremely effective and not only heats the ground floor but warms the upstairs too. The cottage is about 4 miles from Ludlow by country roads. Ludlow (if you are not familiar with it) is a charming market town with a Norman castle, a 12th Century church and a wealth of half-timbered buildings. It provides good provision shopping and places to eat out, whether morning coffee or formal dining. The only slight problem we had was that our backs (which are no longer young) did not get on very well with the beds! The bedrooms themselves are snug and well-appointed.
