Easy to find and access instructions simple. All the essential equipment is provided and easy to use. The setting is extraordinary and the hot tub has amazing views over the garden and pond where you can watch the kingfisher diving and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It is a short drive to Bishops Castle or Craven Arms, an easy drive on to Ludlow and further. Would highly recommend staying here although currently the main house is empty so this added to the privacy, not sure how this would be if there were other people in and around. The only drawback for us personally was the amount of feathers I.e. bedding and cushions, this would have been useful to know as we had to then buy alternatives during our stay, however this would not put us off revisiting this property,

A real treat to benefit from the great outdoors. Very nice inside, all very comfortable. Great to have the hot tub. A lovely place to be based for a break in Shropshire. A couple of small points - somewhere to hang coats and a guest book would be nice. Would be ideal to read recommendations of places to go and to eat from fellow guests. We plan to return and highly recommend.
