We only stayed 2 nights but had a wonderful stay. This is probably the best equipped cottage we’ve ever stayed in, extremely clean and just a lovely place throughout. A nice pub with amazing food just 10 minutes walk, the lovely Stiperstones are not far away and the historic Shrewsbury with all the old buildings very close by.The hosts are really nice too.Will definitely stay again
