What an absolutely beautiful little cottage. The location is idyllic, so peaceful and beautiful but still within easy reach of really interesting places.The cottage is really well equipped, clean and comfortable. The linens and towels are all very good quality. The hosts are such a lovely couple, very friendly and helpful at all times and they provided lovely welcome goodies as well as dishwasher tablets etc. We can’t recommend it highly enough and would love to return.

Crabapple cottage is a real get away from it all experience. The cottage is beautiful and a real hidden gem. The hosts Simon & Cath are lovely and made us feel more than welcome. The cottage is more than well equipped with everything you need, we were particularly impressed with all the kitchen accessories, such good quality.The bed linen is devine & guarantees a good nights sleep. We had 2 dogs with us and the walks down the lane are beautiful. Loads to do if you want to, but we went for a complete chill.Highly recommended, if you want cosy, peace and quiet this is the place but only a short drive to Oswestry.Looking forward to going back.Thank you to the hosts.
