The apartment was comfortable and simple with great additional facilities of EV charging, hot tub and tennis court which we made great use of. The owner was incredibly friendly and was always around if needed.

We had all we needed, everything was very clean and the beds extremely comfortable. The car stayed parked for the whole duration as we explored Bishop's Castle on foot. We renamed this ancient, tranquil Shropshire village BC - Before Clocks, as the whole atmosphere is very laid back. Particularly enjoyed the garden, The Three Tuns' excellent food and the soaring red kite whilst viewed from the hot tub. We would definitely return and hope to next year. Thank you so much Adrian for the gift of total relaxation.
