  Top Farm Lodge proved to be an ideal place for two friends who live in different parts of the country to share for a few days.

  It was lovely for each of us to have our own en suite, and the bed in the twin room was one of the most comfortable I've slept in for a long time. We didn't do any cooking during our stay but the kitchen seems well-equipped and the living area is very comfortably furnished. We didn't make much use of the private courtyard as the weather wasn't really good enough - but I imagine it would be very nice to sit outside with a coffee first thing in the morning or to eat lunch outside in warmer weather. The cottage feels welcoming and even in bad weather it was cosy enough without having to light the log burner, so I would be happy to consider a winter break there. The location is great - plenty of walking on the doorstep and easy access to Oswestry and Shrewsbury. The shop and pub in the village are both a short walk away and the food and service at the pub are both very good. We both enjoyed our stay and I would happily recommend Top Farm Lodge.

  The property was clean & facilities great.

  The private courtyard was a lovely to sit & have a cuppa or eat. Bedrooms are nicely done both with ensuites; one a P-shape bath/shower & the other a walk-in shower. Lounge & Kitchen are just the right size cozy but not cramped. It was too warm for the log fire but we aim to go back this winter/spring so perhaps we'll test it then. It's dog friendly with a big field onsite & many walks near-by. Great base in which to see the area or nice enough to recharge with a relaxing night it or visit to the local Marstons' pub (walking distance) which is under new management. Local shop wasn't too expensive & stocked some local produce too - prices for everyday items weren't ridiculous. Finally, owners are also lovely & friendly. All round - great & we will return!

  We loved staying in Buddleia thank you.

  It's far back corner location, next to the big green is great as you feel that little more secluded and have the extra side decking area. It's a lovely peaceful spot and having the sea on the doorstep is the best! We very much enjoyed walking to The Old Fort. The chalet itself was great. The space was used very well and contained everything we needed. I can imagine it can get very hot in there when the weather is hot, but the heater/fan was appreciated. The only small thing I'd highlight is that the picnic bench seat on the side decking is quite worn so has splinters (I got one), so may need a little sanding at some point. Other than that, a fantastic stay and we would definitely come again. Many thanks!

  A lovely comfortable stay in this super cottage.

  Very well appointed and everything we could need including washing machine and freezer. The problem we had with the shower (running very hot) was attended to by the owners very swiftly. Our golden retriever loved running around in the big field. The lovely village of Knockin was a great location for accessing the delights of Shropshire (Hawkstone Follies; Blists Hill Victorian Town & Ironbridge, Nesscliffe Country Park; The British Ironwork Sculpture Park, Shrewsbury town) and mid-Wales (Offa's Dyke Path, Llangollen Canal and Pontcysyllte aqueduct). We truly felt that a week wasn't long enough and that we'd only scratched the surface of what this area has to offer.

  There were some inconsistencies in the directions to this cottage which we had to clarify with the owner, but aside from that, this cottage is in a great location, is nicely decorated and equipped and very comfortable despite being small.

  The furniture and furnishings were comfortable and we slept well here plus there’s a private outdoor area, lovely in the sun. The village has a great small shop, two pubs and an excellent Indian restaurant. Location wise, it’s close to great walks, historic homes, country parks and the coast. Only minor criticisms are the TV remote some buttons not working at all and the barn door to the en-suite bathroom which is very noisy at night. To answer previous criticism the kitchen tap no longer drips and the sofa has been replaced. A great village stay.
