Really lovely well equipped holiday let. It was ideal for visiting Shrewsbury and the Ironworks in nearby Oswestry. The only downside we felt was that there was a very fast road with no pavement to walk our dog outside the yard. There was a dog field but we found it very uneven to walk around with dodgy knees.
