Really well equipped, very thoughtful and helpful hosts, great location. 5 minutes walk to bus stops for Oswestry and Shrewsbury, or to walk along the canal. Wales within easy access by car. Would certainly recommend, and happily go back.

All the appliances work well and very clean. The only bit of grip was the Internet not very good but think that was down to the aera. We like being in the center of things lots of places to see within half an hour. We loved the gardens in Oswestry and Shewberry in the quarry, well worth a visit take a picnic and relax.
