We have had an amazing two week stay in this stunning cottage! It is so comfortable, and everything has been thought of to make your stay enjoyable. Great to have a cottage where the owners have really cared about it and made it look so special. The location is perfect, so quiet and Long Mynd literally on your doorstop.
