It's set in beautiful grounds in a quiet location and is ideally placed for the sights and attractions of the area. Shrewsbury is a very attractive town worth exploring as are the historic sites in and around the Ironbridge Gorge. We would also recommend the World Heritage Site of the Llangollen Canal, Clun Castle, the Severn Valley Railway and the Welsh border country around Welshpool, all within easy reach. One final point - we couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome than we had from the cottage's owners.

It was the perfect place for a family get together, with everything we needed. Peter and Helen were great owners, being available yet unobtrusive. The grounds were a delight and my 89 year old mum particularly enjoyed the walk to the lake. We look forward to returning.

The tiffin that Helen kindly made for us was a great success. Thank you Helen and Peter for making us feel welcome during our stay, we had everything we needed.
