Shared garden available. Very well equipped and clean. I particularly liked that there was good towel provision....sensible sized bath sheets. The only drawbacks were a poor flow on the shower but may have been a water pressure issue and the two seater sofa was a bit lumpy on one side. Also the door lock needs some attention. There is a well stocked Nisa on the outskirts of Much Wenlock and a Spar in town. Also good cafes, Chinese takeaway and the food in the pie shop looked delicious! There is a small farm shop on site with cake and coffee available and some outside seating which would be lovely in better weather. Owners on site but not at all obtrusive but responsive when called ( their small collection of barn animals made a break for freedom

The location, was so quiet and the countryside beautiful. The property, being adjacent to others, meant that the other residents walked past our patio doors. They also used the barbecue which was just to the left of our accommodation and, though they werenât noisy, the smoke was coming directly towards us so we had to spend most of that evening shut inside which wasnât ideal. Would consider returning to one of the other properties on the far side of the courtyard where there would be more privacy and I can see that the whole place would be great for a family/friends gathering.

The owners Margaret and Chris were great and could not do enough for you, even when I broke the toilet seat, but that is another story. Changed quickly and at no expense. Property very comfortable and clean and Harvey our Jack Russell loved it, Weather perfect and no issues at all. Well done, Keep up the good standards and one day we will return.
