Ludlow is just a scenic drive away where you can find even more exceptional eateries, or spend a day in Telford for a day of shopping and finding the perfect souvenir for your loved ones back home. For those seeking outdoor adventure the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a must, with a plethora of scenic walking and cycling routes alongside an abundance of outdoor activities, it's well-worth exploring at any time of the year!

The cottage is immaculately clean and comfortable. There are clear instructions regarding appliances, recycling etc. The friendly, considerate owners respond quickly and efficiently to any issues. The setting of the cottage, a few minutes away from the Quarry Park, alongside the River Severn is just perfect. You can walk into Shrewsbury town centre and explore beautiful historic buildings, independent shops and an abundance of cafes/restaurants in ten minutes. Ludlow and Church Stretton should also be on the excursion list.
