Guests consistently praise the warm welcome from the owners, the well-equipped and spotless accommodation, and the delightful access to extensive gardens and farm animals.

Minor issues such as small TVs or the absence of a washing machine are occasionally mentioned, but overall, guests leave feeling relaxed and eager to return.
The majority of reviews highlight the cottage as very clean, spotless, and well maintained. Only one review mentioned dead flies on windowsills, but this was an isolated comment among overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The owners are frequently described as welcoming, helpful, and responsive. Thoughtful gestures such as welcome gifts (flowers, biscuits) are mentioned, but please note these are not guaranteed.

The cottage was immaculate, offering a clean and cozy base for our adventures. We had carding mill valley a 15 minute drive away as well as Stokesay castle. Further out was attingham park which was beautiful to see and walk around the house and grounds. About an hours drive away was Powis castle which was one of the highlights of our trip. The hospitality really made our trip with the owner making sure we had everything we needed the first night and if the heating was just right. She also recommended taking a trip around the grounds, which was beautifully maintained and a peaceful evening walk. I especially loved watching the horses graze in the field opposite and would often in the evening sit outside and listen to the geese or birds chirping. It was a refreshing and peaceful break. Thank you so much!

It was cosy and warm - ideal given the wet/ cold weather outside. It offers great walking but unfortunately we couldn't due to weather. However, it is well place for days out to the National Trust. The owner was very friendly and provided all the things you forget to pack. Would recommend.
