A lovely well equipped property ideal for a couple.
A lovely well equipped property ideal for a couple.Very narrow roads to negotiate after turning off the main road but well worth it as the milking parlour is a very nice place to stay.Lots of places to visit nearby including Bishops Castle where we choose to have dinner at the Castle hotel a couple of times.Stokesay Castle was a great place to visit if that’s your thing.Shropshire really is a gem to explore.

We had a lovely time at the milking parlour.
We had a lovely time at the milking parlour. The house is lovely, well equipped and spotlessly clean .Our hosts left a lovely welcome pack and were very helpful with and enquiries we had . So many places to visit nearly and excellent walking on your doorstep. Avery lovely way to spend a week in October.
