The scenic views and proximity to local amenities make it a desirable holiday spot, though some guests noted minor issues with privacy and maintenance.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few mentioned finding dead spiders and a dirty shoe storage cupboard, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is consistently described as peaceful, scenic, and conveniently close to local attractions and amenities, making it an ideal base for exploring Shropshire.
Guests were pleased with the comfortable beds and lounge, as well as the quietness of the location, contributing to a relaxing stay. A comment about a settee with worn springs indicates most furniture provided comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen appliances and a playground for children. Some guests mentioned issues with a dishwasher and a desire for additional facilities like a downstairs loo and better privacy measures.
The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly the welcome packs which were highly appreciated. It should be noted that such gifts, while a lovely gesture, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The owners Margaret and Chris were great and could not do enough for you, even when I broke the toilet seat, but that is another story. Changed quickly and at no expense. Property very comfortable and clean and Harvey our Jack Russell loved it, Weather perfect and no issues at all. Well done, Keep up the good standards and one day we will return.

We loved the many pictures of sheep, cows and donkeys. This converted farm outbuilding is in a beautiful setting amid rolling countryside, an ideal location for exploring Shropshire. The slight downside is that the French window looks onto a path leading to the shared lawn and play area, so that children from other properties are often passing by and looking in.

The setting is peaceful and scenic with great views across the Shropshire hills. Each morning we liked to visit the sheep and cattle in the field at the bottom of the garden and walk our dog down the long lane that is part of the farm. The kitchen is generously equipped with a plentiful supply of cutlery and crockery, and all the cooking equipment you are likely to need. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated and it is ideally situated for exploring Shropshire, many great places are within a 30 minute drive. Margaret is friendly, helpful and responsive host. Any issues are dealt with promptly: the tap in the kitchen started to drip during our stay and was fixed the day we mentioned it and was fine thereafter. We are more than happy to recommend this cottage and hope to return to it soon.
