It's set in rolling countryside so is blissfully quiet during the nights. The owners rob and Leslie are genuinely welcoming and love to have a chat. The cottage is well maintained and and all you could need. If your after a peaceful and relaxing country cottage then stone House cottage is for you. We've stayed in another house in caynham as well but still come back here. There's loads of historic places around to visit and the park and ride into ludlow is at the bottom of the road 5 minutes away. We will be back next year.
