Jan
Cottage homely and very cosy, the heating is very effective. Well equipped, owner very helpful and left lovely chocolate snacks and welcome pack. The only drawback for us, was rather loud creaking floorboards upstairs, mainly because one person gets up several times a night! Otherwise we liked the cottage and found it very handy for Shrewsbury.

Hosts were very pleasant, whilst giving us space to enjoy. Lovely grounds, which the kids loved exploring. A little bit hard to find in the dark, so read the instructions well!
