• "What a lovely, lovely cottage, and we have stayed in many!"

  ! Super comfy beds, lovely and clean and a great welcome basket. Owners are really friendly and helpful too if you see them about on the farm. Everything in the cottage you could need and really dog friendly too with a fully enclosed garden. About 15 mins south of Shrewsbury which was a really lovely town. Would definitely recommend a stay here and we hope to be back

  It is such a cosy and comfortable house and so very quiet. We’ll definitely be back because Shropshire is a great place to visit with lots to see and do and Virginia Cottage is just the perfect base.

  It was well equipped , the bed was comfortable, the water hot, and the shower powerful! It is situated in a very quiet village but is still close to main routes for visiting places of interest. We visited all the different attractions of the Ironbridge Gorge which took all week so we will have to make a return visit to see other attractions.

  Owners even leant me a fan to combat the hot weather. Just two items I would like to find there .... A sieve for cooking, and a handrail in the shower on the wall opposite the shower apparatus. Holding the part that adjusts the water can be difficult with your back to the shower. Otherwise a nice place to stay !

  Lots of lovely walks around the village. Quite and peaceful for the majority of the time. I’m ok with farm noises, my family were not. This next comment comes from experience. I ran my own bed and breakfast for 16 years. The cottage would benefit from a deep clean and flowers in the tubs next season, I believe that this would take it to the next level , splendid! Thank you for the wonderful stay. Sorry I couldn’t find a pen or I would have written in the book .

  As soon as we arrived at the cottage, we loved everything about it. Its a spacious, comfortable and clean place to stay. We also loved the decor and the furnishings. It was really nice to have a garden with seating as well as it being secure for our little dog.

The kitchen was very well equipped, there were plenty nice fluffy towels, lots hot water and great shower. Thank you also for the little gifts, really nice thought.

• "This property is one of the best we have stayed in."

  Exceptionally clean everywhere (aside from the microwave which we didn't use anyway) and tastefully furnished throughout. It is spacious and there is plenty of outdoor space for the dog which is enclosed. There is parking right outside the front door which is convenient. The wifi was great and they left a really lovely welcome hamper for our arrival. The owners were friendly and accommodating. Even though it is a working farm it was generally always really quiet. You can walk into the village where there is a small shop and a few nice dog walks. Kitchen is a good size with good storage. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and a decent size. The log burner was just perfect for those cold days. It was really nice to have access to outdoor space from the main bedroom via the patio door. The property is very private and the owners although nearby gave us our privacy. Acton Burnell Castle is a short walk away and well worth a visit. I would definitely stay here again and can certainly recommend staying here you will find the photos don't do the accommodation justice as it certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the owners for being so accommodating with us, we had a wonderful stay.
