A great little cottage, in a quiet and remote area, yet not too far from Oswestry. It's well equipped and very clean and cosy, though the bathroom may be a bit of a challenge for tall visitors or those with limited mobility. Ideal for two little piggies and their pets though!. Some great walks from the front door; we and our dogs loved walking the quiet lanes which allow access into the surrounding hills. Also well positioned for venturing further afield into central and north Wales.
