The cottage is immaculately clean and comfortable. There are clear instructions regarding appliances, recycling etc. The friendly, considerate owners respond quickly and efficiently to any issues. The setting of the cottage, a few minutes away from the Quarry Park, alongside the River Severn is just perfect. You can walk into Shrewsbury town centre and explore beautiful historic buildings, independent shops and an abundance of cafes/restaurants in ten minutes. Ludlow and Church Stretton should also be on the excursion list.
