    A superb quiet location for walking and discovering the beautiful Shropshire Hills. We were 2 and a well behaved small dog. The cottage is compact, bright and cheery and has everything you need and would be really lovely in summer with the outdoor table and chairs. Despite being next to the owner Nicky’s property it manages to feel private. Nicky was very helpful throughout and the property has useful info for the surrounding area - walks and places to visit. We hope definitely to return.

  • Diane

    The only thing I would suggest is putting in a full length stand alone mirror in the bedroom.

  • Richard

    The cottage was fantastic, great for two people + dog, comfortable, clean and well maintained.
