I had a great stay here with a group of friends. It's an excellent place for large groups. The hosts are helpful and relaxed. Good shops and pubs nearby in Craven Arms (10 minutes drive).

Accommodation was ideal for our group of walkers but we had a couple of issues with things such as showers (several were not really working properly) . It would have been useful to have a "house book" with instructions for eg hot water / immersion heater etc.
