It is a lovely cottage and very comfortable. There is so much to do and see in the area and, above all, peace and quiet is amazing. It was great to walk around the nearby woodland and there are two very welcoming local pubs nearby. Sharon and Mike are very welcoming hosts and we will definitely be returning.

Annexe was cold compared with the house - one radiator never got warm. Annexe wet room lacked any means of drying the floor. The owners were very friendly. Property well located - easy access to Shrewsbury and the countryside.

It has a tennis court too, if you have the inclination. The owners are friendly and helpful whilst the property itself is really nice with everything you could need during your stay. We were impressed by the cleanliness, and it was nice to have effective central heating and a good sized shower, also a very comfortable bed, all set in a quiet location. We enjoyed some excellent meals at the Fox and Hounds Gastropub in Shawbury, there is also a nice well stocked garden centre with café, exactly a 1 mile walk down the road, as well as a small pub (turning left out of the farm gate). The cottage also has a south facing conservatory ideal for an afternoon coffee or evening appetiser. Thank you Sharon and Mike for your hospitality and the kind gift of a bottle of Italian bubbly.
