Lovely stay.
Lovely stay. Lovely setting. Everything was fine. Owners were very friendly but not intrusive. And we really appreciated them digging us out and laying sand down as the day after a modest snow fall, a freeze made getting out of the drive icy. Would definitely stay there again.

A lovely clean cottage.
A lovely clean cottage. For us a little too rural. Never the less lovely scenery around. Only disappointment was no fenced in garden for the dog. Difficult taking out before bed as evenings dark. Probably better with lighter evenings. Owners helpful and pleasant.

This lovely cottage is in a wonderful position in the midst in scenic countryside and close Church Stretton. An added bonus at this time of the year is the tasty apples freely offered by the owners.
