The ground floor accommodation is on the small side but had everything needed for 2 people with 2 small dogs! The first floor, bedroom & bathroom are really spacious & comfortable. The property is in a most beautiful setting with fabulous walks from the door and within easy driving distance of plenty of fantastic places of interest to visit. We were made to feel very welcome and would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

The cottage was immaculate, offering a clean and cozy base for our adventures. We had carding mill valley a 15 minute drive away as well as Stokesay castle. Further out was attingham park which was beautiful to see and walk around the house and grounds. About an hours drive away was Powis castle which was one of the highlights of our trip. The hospitality really made our trip with the owner making sure we had everything we needed the first night and if the heating was just right. She also recommended taking a trip around the grounds, which was beautifully maintained and a peaceful evening walk. I especially loved watching the horses graze in the field opposite and would often in the evening sit outside and listen to the geese or birds chirping. It was a refreshing and peaceful break. Thank you so much!
