Stay with my partner over the valentines weekend Ed was great, always on hand to help and showed us around upon arrivalNice walks around the area and the scenery is perfect. Much Wenlock is close by and has good spots - listen to Ed and Tracey-Ann’s recommendations!Thanks Ed, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the weekend
Immaculate cottage with everything catered for. Located in beautiful Shropshire area and dark sky designation gave the hot tub experience with a glass of bubbly a whole different take. Ed (Host) a great guy who made us very welcome and directed us to some fabulous eateries!! And took time to explain the workings of the cottage in the detail you would want. Lovely experience
Excellent accommodation tucked away in the beautiful countryside. Ed and Tracey are fantastic hosts with an excellent eye for detail. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay with the added bonus of the hot tub looking out on an amazing view. Nothing is too much trouble for these fantastic hosts and the welcome pack of home made cake and cookies was a perfect touch to this already amazing place. Highly recommend
Fell in love with the property and grounds as soon as we arrived. Ed and Tracey-Anne have truly thought of everything.This is the first place where we have ever stayed where we have slept soundly, very very comfortable large bed.Love the hottub and spent a lot of time with delilah duck in there The hosts are very welcoming and very ameniable. We were in awe of the grounds and how scenic it is.. Very quiet. Just what we needed to reset. The only bad thing about this property is that we didn't want ever leave. The dogs loved being able to have a good sniff and run about like the nutters they are.The premise is very well organised and the decor is lovely.. Great spot for spotting wildlife Would definitely stay again.
