The village has lots of cafes, pubs, shops and it's in a good position to get to bigger towns such as Ludlow & Shrewsbury and Ironbridge. we will definitely be going back. The cottage had everything we needed and parking was easy and free around the village.

So cosy and well furnished. We were really touched by the welcome basket and handwritten notes, which just enhanced a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Much Wenlock is a gorgeous little town and we were made to feel part of a place that enjoyed a real community. Thank you to our hosts and to the town for an extra special experience.
