A utility room with external door can be found off the kitchen which provides space for drying off your dog after a day exploring the lovely countryside surrounding the cottage! The delightful sitting room with sumptuous leather sofas is a great place for watching a family film, and this room has the added benefit of doors to the garden. Climb the stairs from the hallway to the charming first floor bedrooms, including the master room which has en-suite facilities, and the two further bedrooms offer versatile accommodation. Outside, guests can relax in the enclosed lawned garden, cook a barbecue lunch, enjoy alfresco dining on a summer's evening or take a short walk to the local pub which will delight with home-cooked food and real ales.

The town also has some charming and historic houses, including a round house, thought to be a recognisable rest house for pilgrims travelling between Wigmore and Shrewsbury Abbeys and the fascinating 'Museum of Lost Content'. Just two miles away in the village of Wistanstow is the Plough Inn, a good local wood brewery. ChurchStretton is close by and nestles between the Long Mynd and Caradoc Hills, renowned for their scenic walks and excellent golf course. The historic towns of Bishops Castle, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are a short drive away, and offer magnificent castles, riverside walks, wonderful shops, pubs, restaurants, exciting theatres and a variety of festivals. This is a perfect base for touring all of beautiful Shropshire at any time of the year.

We found it warm, spacious, comfortable, and ideal with a dog. The beds and bedding were of a high standard and overall the cottage was well equipped. The cottage is in a great location for all the attractions that Shropshire has to offer including pleasant walks from the front door. The welcoming cake and homemade apple juice were much appreciated as was being met on arrival by the hosts and a roaring fire. While it did not detract from our visit we did suggest to the hosts that the TV could be upgraded. Overall we would highly recommend and like many previous guests we will definitely plan to return.
