Christine
It is generally very spacious although the bedrooms are quite small. However, they are well equipped with storage and we found them to be very comfortable. Some extra crockery and cutlery would be useful. We kept running out of mugs! It was only a minor inconvenience. The outdoor space and furniture was great and we enjoyed eating outside. The drive up to Toot View is a bit of a challenge and we werenât prepared for how steep and bumpy it was in places. The location is great for visits to beautiful places like the Long Mynd and the town of Ludlow.

The view was amazing, the accommodation spacious, comfortable and immaculate. The hosts were very friendly, helpful but not intrusive in any way, they were very kind and generous to show our small children some of the animals on their farm also. The kids were safe because the property grounds are well fenced, lots of space to enjoy sitting on the patio to enjoy the weather. We were sad to leave and hope to return.
