A delightful cottage in a pretty location. Comfortable and well equipped. It is a shame there is no pub or shop within walking distance. We did not find the church bells intrusive. Ann, who looks after the cottage, was charming and helpful.

Perfect cottage in a wonderfull location. Somehow the church bells added to our enjoyment. Though if you are in doubt take earplugs for nighttime. Would definitely return. Having stayed in approx 75 cottages in the UK over the years, this would be in our top 10.

A beautiful, well equipped cottage in a delightful area. Lovely rural feel, and the church bells which were mentioned in feedback from several visitors, only added to its rural charm! Would hope to return and explore more of the area.

Comfy beds and pillows, plenty of living/activity space, efficient heating, enclosed private parking. The small, very private cottage garden is just lovely, as is the location, which is well-placed for some lovely country walks.. We very much enjoyed the nearby church bells sounding the passing time. The welcome pack of bread, milk, etc., was most Read morethoughtful, and much appreciated. Hide

A lovely, clean, comfortable & well equipped cottage about 12km (7 miles) from Shrewsbury & ideally located for walking/ cycling in the Shropshire hills. The cottage is located less than 100m from church in a narrow lane. The church bells ring every quarter of an hour & on the hour, even through the night! It is possible to sleep through this (& weRead more did). Well maintained, attractive garden, with a small patio ideal for summer evening drinks. Lots of good restaurants in Shrewsbury. Hide

The conversion of this former barn is beautiful, you can really see how it has been done, down to traces of former graffiti on the wall and old beams, including a low beam (160cm) between the kitchen and dining room. The garden is also a real pleasure to sit in, and listen to the church clock striking every 15 minutes. Opinion was divided in our paRead morerty about this! The cottage is in a great location for exploring North Shropshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Hide
