Location was great very peaceful and surrounded my sheep, garden was well maintained. The inside of the house was a bit confused. The kitchen and upstairs bathroom were both modern but the bedrooms especially the carpet were very dated. Good space for functionality just had a mismatched finish.Lots of the beds creaked even if you just moved one limb which made moving or getting in and out of bed with a sleeping baby a bit difficult but we managed for a long weekend. Kitchen well equipped, had a bottle of wine and crisps on the counter for arrival! Wasn’t an issue for us but we couldn’t get the TV to work when we tried.

The Larches is a wonderful place to stay. Situated in the middle of a working farm but completely enclosed with a lovely garden and fantastic views of the Shropshire countryside. Very peaceful and spacious. A lovely place for a large family to stay.

The Larches is in a fabulous quiet location surrounded by lovely countryside and sheep from the farm. The views are amazing in every direction. The owners are both lovely and friendly and the property has everything you need for your stay and is nice and spacious. The nearest place is Ludlow and is about a 12 minute drive, well worth a visit and we had a lovely meal at the Kings Arms in Church Stretton for our daughters birthday. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay....Alan, Jackie and family.
