The Garden Retreat is almost ineffable. Tucked away in scenic Shropshire countryside with a quintessentially English pub across the road, it boasts a wonderful combination of the old and the new. Check-in was simple and quick, parking was ample, and the homemade cookies waiting for us on arrival were most welcome. The lower floor kitchen has everything we needed for a 4 day working holiday. The middle floor boasted a beautiful sitting and dining area with immense views out to the Shropshire countryside. All the features are quirky and intriguing, particularly the wonderful canvases which, fitting with the style, are modern with a story back to times gone by. The upper floor contains a huge, comfortable bed with sumptuous Egyptian cotton bedding and luxury free-standing bath. There is plenty of room for storage and lots of space to sit and admire the surroundings. A shower room, complete with quality toiletries completes the cottage and has a modern shower. My overriding memory of The Garden Retreat will be how it had a wonderful habit of drawing me to thinking about its history, while absorbing its modern luxury. A credit to its hosts
