There are fantastic walks from the front door, a lovely village with plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops just 1 mile (15 minute walk) up the road. A nice pub just 5 minutes away with good food and dog friendly. The owner was very welcoming, we will definitely return.

The cottage is beautiful and there was plenty of space for us all. The scenery is amazing and it is very quiet at night so definitely one for a good nights sleep. Cottage had everything we wanted which for two teenage boys was good WiFi and the hot tub!? Would definitely recommend and come back.

So easy to get to different walks, with stunning views. The cottage was lovely. Plenty of space. Could do with a bit more crockery and the downstairs mattress not comfortable and needs replacing. But everything else was great. Including the weather, local pub the Yew Tree, and trips to Ludlow and Ironbridge. Our dogs loved every minute also.
