We love the rural setting, very quiet at night with great views of the stars. Each room is large and comfortable and very cosy. Overall a great general base for walking and exploring.

Beautiful barn conversion, everything you need in the kitchen, lounge, bathroom and garden, main bedroom was lovely and comfortable but the spare room beds not so comfy, Every room was large and spacious, and our 3 dogs loved the large fully enclosed garden, Tina and Keith are lovely hosts, even let us feed the sheep, the drive was large enough for 2 large cars, the views far and wide spectacular scenery, you definitely need your cars to get restaurants, we didn't mind the driving and went to Wales and cotswolds, and loads of local activities like the steam train and boat ride up the river Severn, ironbrdge was beautiful, we even fitted in a trip to Shrewsbury prison, very interesting. All in all, a fabulous time
