A superb cottage in all respects. This is, without doubt, one of the best self catering property we have ever stayed in. We loved the view, the hot tub was great and the facilities top notch.

If you want a peaceful relaxing comfortable quiet break We'rn Du Cottage has it all with the most amazing mesmerising views. The hot tub very good too. The owners of the farm have done an amazing job on what used to be the piggery on this wonderful cottage. All furniture very comfortable and felt like home. Equipped very well it had everything. Loved Tony the horse stabled there. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t so great and didn’t realise how remote it would be.. we used the car to get anywhere. There is the local railway inn a mile away, we couldn’t walk it as you’re walking down a very narrow country road no pavement It opens from 5pm. Oswestry is 15 miles away. It really is beautiful countryside you feel way out in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful. We enjoyed ourselves plus our two Shih Tzu dogs.
