The cottage was great. We were the first to stay here so everything was brand new. I couldn't fault the cottage and we were able to take our dog into the big camping field across the road for a run around which was very handy. The location was perfect, being just up the road from Church Stretton and the Carding Mill Valley. Also there were footpaths straight onto the hills behind the cottage - a steep walk but fantastic at the top. The only thing to improve is the directions. The turn off the A49 is signed to Cardington not Botvyle as stated in the directions which was a bit confusing. Also, putting the postcode into the sat nav took us to a property before the one we wanted. We phoned in the end and found it that way. This a minor thing though. I really recommend this cottage.
