Carding Mill Valley is only a short drive. The use of the paddock for exercising dogs is perfect. Kitchen is well equipped and the frying pan was excellent!! The Internet can be slow and drop out but this was stated in the information before booking. The TV has a built in dvd player so a good option would be to take dvds. The host is very friendly and left eggs from her hens and a lovely home made cake. The only issue was the the pillows. The were old and stained with no protectors on.

When we arrived there was a bad smell of a combination of damp, mould, sewer and âwet dogâ smell We noticed small clumps of black hair all over the carpet so I used a damp cloth and soapy water to lightly clean the carpet. I had to change the water 3 times as it was black. The bedroom carpet had clumps of hair over it too. There was mould on the wall behind the sofa that also smelt. The sofa also smelt bad too. When we used the toilet upstairs there was a very strong smell of sewerage coming up from the sink in the kitchen. We discovered the plumbing had been installed incorrectly. There were several damp spots on the bedroom ceiling that appeared after it rained too. There were slug trails all over the lounge carpet each morning too. The duvet cover smelt of âcheesy feetâ A man cannot stand up to use the loo due to the very low ceiling. The whole place had an air of neglect. There is no private courtyard as stated in the description as it is a communal turning area for vehicles. Despite the bad accommodation we enjoyed our holiday in Shropshire as we went out every day, all day, to get away from the cottage
