    It had everything you needed. Beds comfy, kitchen and sitting room all in one and was really comfortable. It was in a quiet location. The owners were there if needed but left you to your own devises. Lovely area with plenty to see.

  • "We were welcomed at the gate by Gary and Pat the owners."

    The Gallery has been modified to a very high standard and still has interesting features from farming days gone by. Gary and Pat have thought of everything inside, even to a bottle of orange juice and home made cake on the table on arrival. Provided you are happy with stairs (outside and inside), we would recommend The Gallery very highly.

    ! In a very quiet, peaceful setting, with beautiful scenery, this is the perfect setting for your getaway. It's close enough to local towns and villages if you want to slip out for a meal and/or shopping, but still in its own secluded spot for that much wanted peace and quiet. The apartment itself is fully furnished, with EVERYTHING you need to make your stay perfect

    The Gallery is a perfect place for two people. It is well appointed and the kitchen in particular has obviously been equipped by someone who has an intimate knowledge of cooking! What makes the accommodation even better, are the extra little touches - the tasteful welcome pack, the provision of flannels, soap, shampoo and plenty of toilet rolls in the bathroom and a hairdryer (with a plug point next to the mirror)! The only downside for us, was that there were two flights of steps to carry things up and down. Not a problem for most but for those of advancing years, it was more of a chore.

    The owners told us it was done 5 years ago but it's still pretty immaculate and could have been brand new. Set in a quiet small village with walks to Wenlock Edge starting from the doorstep and the rest of the Shropshire Hills short drives. If one was being really fussy, one could note that the WiFi was a bit slow, and the freezer is in the utility room downstairs not the apartment itself. But it would be churlish to let those distract from the peaceful calm and excellent fitting out and cleanliness of this place. We are very pleased we chose it.

  • "We LOVED staying at the Gallery."

    Upon our arrival we were completely blown away with the beauty of the property, and the location. It is even more lovely than the pictures. The property itself is tucked down a little country lane with some beautiful heritage properties around it. I would say it is the perfect place if you are looking to get away from it all. Craven Arms itself does not have much to offer, but it does have some beautiful, proper country walks and also a really nice Italian Restaurant (The White House) We had a car so we spent a couple of days exploring the surrounding areas and then just had a lazy day in. We have super fast paced lives, so switching off for us can be difficult… but it is fair to say we have come home feeling completely rested and rejuvenated. The Gallery was so cozy and homely, we just felt like time had stopped. Gary and Pat the owners are lovely!!! They made us feel so welcome and even left home made cake on the side for when we arrived. It went down very nicely with a cup of tea after a long drive. If we had to be REALLY picky and give a negative… the only thing we would say was the master bedroom mattress was a little too hard for our liking. But, we still slept like babies. Overall… We highly recommend this property!
