Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the immaculate condition upon arrival. The provision of ample towels and a well-maintained hot tub contribute to the high cleanliness standards.
The location is frequently described as idyllic and quiet, with beautiful countryside views. Its proximity to local walks and attractions in Shropshire is appreciated, although the presence of flies and open garden affecting dog security is a minor concern for some.
The property is generally regarded as comfortable, with a spacious layout and cosy features like a log burner. However, some guests mention issues with heating consistency and heavy duvets, which slightly affect the comfort score.
Facilities such as the hot tub, log burner, and well-stocked kitchen are well-received. The extra TV room and outdoor space for games are also appreciated. Points are deducted for minor maintenance issues like chipped plates and a window that wouldn't close properly.
While many reviews express gratitude for the welcoming touches and helpfulness of the owners, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the provided reviews.

! We all felt so at home there. For a big house it was lovely and warm, we made the most of the hot tub, but the wind

We loved the hot tub and the wood burner and it was lovely to be able to eat together in the dining room. There was plenty of room for everyone and the separate snug was a real bonus for the teenagers. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed saying good morning to the sheep every day!
