Lovely location, lots of walks, many straight from the door. Cottage is comfortable and has everything we needed for our stay. This was our third visit and we will be back.

Had everything we needed. Was lovely to soak in a bath after long days walking. Its location is ideal for exploring a most beautiful part of Shropshire. Will be returning at some point in the future

The milk, eggs and cake left by our hosts were very welcome after a long drive, they also lived close by if anything else was needed.
