We enjoyed our stay at New Inn Cottage. The house is lovely with lots of character and the location is peaceful. However, the sofa is really uncomfortable (as at Spring 2024) and lots of people have commented on this in the visitor book. The kitchen was not stocked to the standard I expected considering the price level of this holiday. The house is heated by an Aga in the kitchen which has to be on all year round so could be an issue in hot weather. There's also a log burning stove which should be fine for winter but we didn't need it. The shower is great but the shower tray fills up so you have to limit the water flow. There are no curtains or blinds on the ground floor so it's not very private but the street outside is quiet most of the time. The garden space could be set up a bit better to make it inviting for guests to use. Overall it's a lovey place to stay but it would benefit from a bit of investment to bring it up to scratch.

Really friendly welcome from Sue Lovely space Just perfect for the 2 of us. Generous welcome pack - also very useful as we stayed only 3 nights. Perfect location with walks from the door despite the heavy rain and mud - quiet roads also to walk on and a local pub Only gripe is the sofa which looked really comfy but really wasn’t

Cosy, charming cottage in a beautiful village with lovely inhabitants. Greeted by owner Sue on arrival with the wood burner already lit. The AGA kept the cottage warm while we were out during the day but the fire was a bonus in the evenings. Great place to set off on walks into the Shropshire countryside and close to lovely Ludlow and Shrewsbury. The village pub - The Royal Oak - also great for meals. Busy for Sunday lunch!
