Nice clean cottage set in a lovely village setting with walks from the door step Local pub is great with friendly staff and great food
Really friendly welcome from Sue Lovely space Just perfect for the 2 of us. Generous welcome pack - also very useful as we stayed only 3 nights. Perfect location with walks from the door despite the heavy rain and mud - quiet roads also to walk on and a local pub Only gripe is the sofa which looked really comfy but really wasn’t
Cosy, charming cottage in a beautiful village with lovely inhabitants. Greeted by owner Sue on arrival with the wood burner already lit. The AGA kept the cottage warm while we were out during the day but the fire was a bonus in the evenings. Great place to set off on walks into the Shropshire countryside and close to lovely Ludlow and Shrewsbury. The village pub - The Royal Oak - also great for meals. Busy for Sunday lunch!
A beautiful cottage in a gorgeous village. Spotlessly clean. A nice welcome pack, but just missing a couple of essentials (salt, oil). There should be much more information on the fact there are no curtains or blinds downstairs, so a complete lack of privacy. There is also no door on the bathroom, just a curtain, so that should be made obvious in advance before booking.
A pretty cottage in a lovely village. Nice welcome hamper though the milk was well past its date. It was a bit dusty and cobwebby, as if it hadn’t been cleaned for a few weeks. As others mentioned in the visitor book the sofa is really uncomfortable.
Very welcoming with the log burner lit before our arrival. Access very easy and a friendly village. We enjoyed amazing walks from the front door - the surrounding countryside is wonderful. We enjoyed meals in the village pub - when we could be persuaded to leave the Aga. Limitless hot water, a great shower and a comfortable bed. Blissfully rural - no street lights and the nights so quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Beautifully renovated cottage in a stunning village I surrounded by the breathtaking Shropshire hills.
A charming property in a lovley village!
Everything just as promised in such a beautiful bowl of hills and valleys
Good facilities in a lovely cottage in a quiet and beautiful Shropshire village.
Beautifully presented and equipped cottage with an excellent welcome pack. Comfy bed with quality bed linen in a spacious, pretty bedroom. First class shower in a spotless shower room. The Aga cooker meant wet walking clothes dried quickly and cooked our porridge overnight. Big squashy sofa for sitting by woodburner or watching TV. The village is beautiful - visit the church, admire the various old cottages and buy fresh eggs from the roadside. Big advantage is being able to start walks from your front door.Villlage pub does meals and good ale and cider.
Beautiful property, lovely and warming, so homely. Great location so nice to have a fire.
Very nice little cottage, very peaceful, great location.
Sweet little cottage with lots of character in a lovely, tranquil village. Parking only a short distance away. Lots of walking options from the village. Spectacular walks a short drive away - the Long Mynd and NT centre. Didn't try the pub but we would do if we stayed again. Nearby Church Stratton had supermarket etc.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
