! Had everything you wanted and more, standard of cleanliness was incredible and the quality of the soft furnishings outstanding. The beautiful garden was perfect for the dog and would highly recommend this holiday home to anyone! Will definitely be back!! Thank you for the milk and biscuits which were much needed after a long drive.

The house configuration works well for us - 6 adults & 2 small children. We hired a boat for a day at Whixall marine - had a lovely time. Comfortable bedrooms. Lots to do in area so visteid aqueduct, ironworks in Oswestry, walk around Brown Moss, breakfast at Marina. House well equipped BUT need a bottle opener, can opener, tray & serving dishes plus soap and shampoo in bathrooms.
