The farm shop is a great addition, so you do not have to get out much to buy food. The driveway is easy to find even at night. The only thing to watch out for is cooking with any amount of steam - let alone something slighly burned. The fire alarms are extremely sensitive. Best to always cook with multiple windows open and the fume extractor on maximum.

 Beautifully furnished with everything we needed. It is well located for visiting the surrounding towns (eg Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Chester). The hosts are very friendly and accommodating.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything one needs for a holiday is provided. A handrail/banister the full length of the external stairs would be appreciated, as the steps are a little uneven.
