Absolutely loved this cottage; it was perfect for our family (4 adults and 2 dogs). When the weather is good you cant beat dinner on the patio overlooking the orchard; if the weather is bad, the owners have provided a selection of games so a wet day spent indoors is equally as good. This had one of the best equipped kitchens Ive found in a holiday Read morelet, so much so there was pans and scales so I could bake a birthday cake. Hide

Lovely rural, dog safe and friendly holiday destination. Well equipped, beautiful decor, very helpful owners on site. Great to barbecue in the orchard. Close to thriving Shrewsbury with just about every shop you can imagine and cafes. Several National Trust properties (Attingham, Powis Castle and Gardens and Berrington Hall), charming Much Wenlock,Read more Ironbridge, the Long Mynd and Ludlow. The local pub, The New Inn at Hookagate, served a very good evening meal. Thank you Georgia for a brilliant stay. Hide
