  Acorn Cottage is situated in a beautiful village Petton.

  The surroundings are so tranquil for a restful and quiet break. The cottage is well equipped with all the mod cons and is squeaky clean. The kitchen has all the amenities along with a dishwasher and washing machine which made our stay very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms. Acorn Cottage has everything we could ask for. Barbara and Robert gave us a very warm welcome to Acorn Cottage. They are extremely friendly and provided us with lots of information about sightseeing as well as gourmet pubs to get good food. The church in Petton is gorgeous and definitely worth a visit. The chicken and ducks that Robert keeps are an absolute delight. To sum up Acorn cottage is a wonderful cottage and the hosts are amazing.

  We have just had the most wonderful 5 nights at this cottage.

  We didn’t want to come home! When we first arrived, we couldn’t stop saying “wow!”. Immaculately clean and extremely well equipped and comfortable. The finest of details had been thought of. Little touches like this make all the difference. Beautiful, peaceful setting, with resident ducks and chickens. It was well located for many local sightseeing attractions. Most things we wanted to do were only 30-40 minutes drive away. Lovely pub 5 minutes down the road for delicious meals, although you have everything you need to cook in the cottage. The owners are absolutely lovely. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home right away. We can’t wait until our next visit!

  We were due to come to Brookside last Autumn to do some cycling.

  However, plonker that I am, I fell off said bike and broke my arm. The owners were kind enough to change the booking to this week. We've been before and enjoyed ourselves so much we came again. The cottage is lovely and cosy with everything you'd need. There are so many places to visit nearby that a week is hardly enough. New to us this visit were the Winking Man and Lud's Church, both involving a climb but well worth it. The other thing that was different this visit were the cows. They were in their winter quarters and we really missed them ambling back to their field after milking. They kept an eye on us from their shed though. All in all a wonderful place for a break.

  A great place to stay, well decorated, great facilities, and really nice setting.

  owners are lovely and little touches like milk and biscuits on arrival were really appreciated. The property is surrounded by some great, and some challenging walks -something for everyone. Enjoyed the walk from Clod mere to Ellsemere along the canal - worth doing and stopping at the boat house for a spot of lunch too. Although feels like its in the middle of nowhere (exactly what we were looking for), its still really close to a wide range of places. 30 mins from Shrewsbury, lots of great restaurants and cafes and handy supermarkets. The farm shop in Baschurch is really good too, highly recommend a visit there. Highly recommend this cottage

  An enjoyable stay in a beautiful part of Shropshire.

  Our hosts left us some very welcome gifts of Coronation Biscuits (and we took the tin as a memento), a bottle of Coronation ale and some milk. Thank you very much. The location is very close to both Shrewsbury and Ellesmere - both delightful places to visit. We also visited Berrington Hall, Attingham park, and Chirk Castle - all highly recommended. Our one negative comment is about the settees, which we found very uncomfortable (sorry). Also worth considering would be the installation of a walk in shower. It is not always easy for some people to clamber into a bath for a shower especially as there are no handles fitted in either bathroom.
