The surrounding countryside is lovely with lots of bridle paths and walks. Highbury's host Geoff was on hand when needed and the cottage is a little 'tardis' which has every home comfort you could possibly wish for, it actually feels like home from home and I would recommend Highbury Cottage as excellent value and definitely return.

The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable and equipped with everything that we needed, certainly one of the best we've stayed in.

Most things you could need are available and well layed out. Our host Jeff is a nice friendly gentleman, with whom nothing seems to be to much trouble. This was our 2nd stay, and we had some nice days out without having to travel too far, with enough still to do for next time. The cottage is reasonably easy to find, and even though it is in a rural location it is only 10mins travelling time from the lovely town of Shrewsbury.
