We were very pleased with the milk, cake and eggs and enjoyed them immensely.
We would say that a black out blind would be beneficial in the bedroom as the sun comes through really early. The window by the bathroom could also do with frosting as you have to remember to robe on exit. These are just observations however and did not hamper our stay.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback Gwyneth. I will look into the possibility of adding a blackout blind in the bedroom. The window opposite the bathroom door does have a blind which most guests drop to aid their privacy but I will monitor comments from future guests.

The cottage was really well equipped, great secure parking and we arrived to home baked cake and free range eggs! Loved the coffee maker and the shower room was great, the kitchen supplied everything we needed the only things we would add are a drainer for the crockery and a larger stand alone bin. The mattress and pillows were too firm for us but that is a personal preference, the only 2 negatives were we feel it could benefit from a larger comfier sofa to relax on which was a shame as everything else was top quality and really well maintained. Our dog did struggle with the shiny wooden staircase as it was quite slippy on his furry paws maybe a central carpet stair runner would solve this issue. Overall an excellent place to stay, charming features, picturesque setting and lovely hosts. Highly recommended!

"The converted tractor shed was equipped with all the appliances and utensils you'd need for a week away."
We were able to easily cook meals and sit outside at the garden table, to enjoy the last of the Summer sunshine.
We have two bits of feedback:
1. Waste bins - we didn't realise that the dustbin outside the property were only to be used for recycling. We were told on two separate occasions, on the same day, how the bins should be used. When I apologised for not using it correctly, I was told it was in the handbook. This did make me felt slightly uncomfortable. Who reads the handbooks cover to cover when they arrive? In future, I'd suggest two outside dustbins; one for recycling and one for general waste and to label them to prevent any confusion.
2. Dogs - we absolutely love dogs and the owners have two beautiful black labradors, who roam free in the grounds. The dogs barked and growled at us throughout the week and stood at our gate most the time. As soon as you open the front door they started barking. If you're not a dog lover or have a fear of dogs, this could be off-putting. Especially as there's no mention of it in the listing.
I'm sure if you're only planning to be there at night and early in the morning it wouldn't be too much of a problem.
That aside, the cottage itself is very nice and the location is brilliant. A 5 minute walk down the road to see the cows and 20 minute walk to The Cross Keys pub who do a brilliant roast pork! There's also a lovely restaurant called The Townhouse in Oswestry, which has a great beer garden and has beautiful decor inside.

"What a fantastic cottage."
We have done many stays in similar properties over the last few years but this was the best! Recently converted to an extremely high standard throughout. Nothing could improve this property and you go without nothing. Great WiFi and having a smart TV in the lounge enabled us to login to our Amazon and Netflix in the evenings. Did lots of exploring of the area. Thanks Nichola and Rob, you have done an amazing job and we most certainly will return.

"We had a fantastic time at The Tractor Shed, it was beautifully furnished and very clean and smart."
It was in a very nice, rural location and we enjoyed morning runs and evening walks around the country lanes. We enjoyed walking up local Rodney’s Pillar and a little further afield in the Shropshire hills.

"Excellent holiday cottage finished to a very high standard."
Superb location for exploring local historic market towns and close to the Welsh border giving plenty of options for days out. Warm welcome on arrival and would definitely recommend The Tractor Shed.
