Peaceful location off the beaten track with great scenery. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday this comfortable dog-friendly cottage would be a great choice. Wi-fi can be a bit flaky but mobile reception is goodIt has 2 large bedrooms - the king-size bed in the main bedroom is extremely cosy & comfortable.Friendly owner who lets you get on with it but is nearby if required. For walking personal favourites are Mitchell's Fold, Stapeley Common nearby, Long Mynd and the hills around Church Stretton; also recommend the two excellent 'chippies' in Minsterley 😊With Ludlow, Church Stretton, Bishop's Castle, Shrewsbury etc etc on your doorstep you could do far worse than spend some time here .
