• "We had a fantastic relaxing break."

  The cottage was a perfect getaway for week, with the husband and dog. Kitchen was fully fitted with everything you could need. The bathroom heated floor was nice as was the quality of the towels. The bed was comfortable, with plenty of space for storing clothes/ coats etc. I can highly recommend this cottage.

• "Absolutely lovely cottage, so cosy and comfortable, all fully equipped kitchen, lovely bedroom and bathroom."

  Ideally located to explore the surrounding areas and into Wales. The biscuits and milk supplied was a extra lovely gesture. Would highly reccomend and hope to be back.

• "They advertise a DVD player and there isn’t one!"

  Only 6 mugs one of which is chipped. If you have a dishwasher you need more mugs, they are not expensive and it means you only need to put the dishwasher on maybe once every 2/3 days and save electricity. Was very surprised that there wasn’t a j cloth in the kitchen… not expensive and it does help with the washing up. A boot scraper by the front door would help as there’s no hall to stand in and it will save the front room carpet getting dirty! Also when wiping the kitchen floor on the 3rd day it was black so hadn’t been washed properly for some time!

• "One of the nicest little cottages I have ever stayed in."

  Every facility and very smartly kept. Situated so conveniently with a shop and pub and regular bus service to Shrewsbury at hand. I intend to visit again in the not too distant future. Chris Bruce

  Always comfortable, clean and tidy. Host's were friendly and helpful as always. Still a great base for relaxing and for seeing the Shropshire & Welsh countryside.

• "My dog spent the first few minutes of our arrival trying to get his nose under the sofa, when I put my hand under to feel what he was after, I could feel crumbs and old food."

  Underneath the sofa hadn't been cleaned in ages - it was filthy. The sofa was very easy to move so it shouldn't have posed a problem We could find no instructions for the dishwasher and, never having owned one, we hadn't got a clue so, since there was no washing up bowl, we had to wash up in the sink. Trouble was the plug didn't fit properly and the water very quickly drained away. We did (eventually - when we were packing up) find the instructions for the microwave, but they were pushed up on the top shelf in the kitchen wall cupboard. The 2 sofas were very tired looking, too soft and quite grubby. The windows (what windows there were - it was very dark) looked as though they hadn't been cleaned all season. The bathroom was so dark it was impossible for my husband to shave and anyway, the shaving mirror was 'floppy' and wouldn't stay where it was put. The flush on the toilet was very short and it never felt as though it wasn't enough to flush it properly. Under the bed was very dusty and one of the knobs on the bedroom drawers kept coming off. There were absolutely no cleaning products, so we were unable to clean anywhere before we left. A bottle of bleach for the toilet and plugholes wouldn't have been a bad idea. There was a Henry hoover but I was damned if I was going to use it and leave the place cleaner than we found it. We'd booked Friday to Friday, but, partly because of the weather but mainly because it just wasn't a nice place to spend our time, we left for home on the Tuesday. On a positive note, the people in the village are all very friendly. The shop seems to stock most things and the bread they sell is wonderful. We ate twice at the pub, staff were lovely and very heplful and it was very reasonable. Both times we were more than happy with our meal (although the sprouts were disgusting

  I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have the best experience during your stay. We always strive to provide the best service and maintain a clean and comfortable space for our guests. I personally make sure that every corner of the property is cleaned thoroughly, even moving the sofas and regularly cleaning the windows. Although I don't have the instructions for the dishwasher, I always provide the key code and encourage guests to reach out if they need any help. I wish that you had let me know that you were having trouble with it, as I would have been more than happy to show you how to use it. Unfortunately, we are unable to install more windows due to the property's historical status, but this has never been an issue for previous guests. I apologize for the bad weather that occurred during your stay, and I understand that it may have contributed to your decision to leave early. Property Owner

• "Great place to stay great location."

  Constructive criticism. The floor covering in the lounge is a definite trip hazard. Unable to sit in the bedroom to get dressed/ undressed had to use the lounge. Getting rid of the wooden end of the bed would make it easy to sit on the end of the bed.

• "What a fantastic find!"

  A very clean, cosy, very well equipped & comfortable cottage in a wonderful location with very friendly locals. Great walks for humans and dogs. The milk & biscuits were a lovely touch too. We've never been anywhere before that supplied a plethora of cleaning items & equipment...brilliant! Another nice touch was the book filled with information, could do with including refuse details though. We're extremely happy with our stay can't wait to book again, we'll done.
