Beautiful location and a lovely place to stay! We were kept informed of how to get the key and received texts around this etc, directions and recommendations for place to eat! Would certainly recommend a trip into the town and visit the loopy shrew! It was such a nice break for our anniversary we will definitely be returning for another visit!

The property was well planned out and had everything we needed to enjoy some peace and quiet. The Hot tub was a welcome addition and we used it every day, very simple to use and ready to go when we got there. The living area was ample for two people and worked well. The upstairs included a bathroom with everything you would need and the bed was amazing. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Shrewsbury was only 10 minutes away by car and we enjoyed some walks there and in the local fields where we met the owners sheep who really did enjoy Rich Tea biscuits! A perfect spot for a very peaceful break.
