We stayed with friends for my husbandâs 40th birthday & we were all blown away. The kitchen is well equipped with everything that you need, the rooms are spacious each having their own bathroom & the living room is really cosy, despite how big it is. We all had such a great weekend. Hopefully weâll be back!!

It was a party of 11 adults and the house was perfect. All the rooms were spacious and comfortable with excellent facilities to cook for a large party. There was plenty of room for people to chat in small groups as well as for us to eat together at the large sociable dining table. The location is quite isolated (which was perfect for us as there was a bit of Karaoke going on) so there are no neighbours to disturb !! The house itself has a very welcoming feel, 'farm house' with some very stylish features and everyone commented on how comfortable it felt i.e. you felt immediately at home there. We mostly stayed at the house but did venture into Shrewsbury which is about 30 mins by car and is a lovely town. We also took our dog for a walk along the river and he had a lovely time. The shops were a bit different and characterful with some standard retailers as well as niche boutiques. A few people from our group visited the Shrewsbury prison tour which they found very interesting and worthwhile. A couple of minor points (as we would highly recommend this house). It was a little tricky to find so some improved instructions would help. We went along the track road a number of times and turned back not realising how far along the house is. Location of keys to access the sauna etc was not clear - again a few more instructions would help. The hot water pressure is weak and maybe a bit more guidance on re cycling bottles etc. Thank you for letting us stay in this wonderful house - we had a fabulous time !!! xxx
