A stunning conversion in an equally stunning location. Home from home but with quiet and tranquility. Beautiful evenings outside, listening to the birds, watching the wildlife.

Excellent cottage, very spacious. Had to travel for shops etc, but that's the beauty of being in the countyside. The dog walk around the farm fields was excellent, if a little overgrown. All the birds and hares made it very interesting. The host even repaired our car when we had a oil leak. Would highly recommend a visit. Thank you.

A lovely peaceful cottage which was very well equipped. Great for visiting lots of country towns and countryside. We ate at the Gaskell Arms in Much Wenlock which was excellent.I have put 'poor' for local amenities only because it was in a completely rural setting and obviously nothing was nearby, which was an attraction!
