It is ideal for visiting the whole shropshire hills area and we still have a few walks we didn't quite get around to so a good excuse to go back next year.

The cottage is very well equipped, and had everything that we needed. It's in a remote area, so is very quiet. Lovely walks in the extensive gardens. Only a short easy drive to Church Stretton, where there are shops, including a Co-Op store, which we found to be well stocked and had plenty of choice. Lots of National Trust and other places to visit within a half hour drive. Thank you!
