Plenty of space. It was clean, lovely and warm. The only queries we had was the photos showed a swing set, we couldnât find that. Also the hot tub could do with a shelter / gazebo so it can be used in all weathers.

We were six couples in their 50s and ate breakfast in everyday and one evening meal. The size of the open plan downstairs made it never feel crowded, the barn next door with all the games and local information was also great. We went in the hot tub and sauna which very clean. It is a good location to visit Shrewsbury and Welshpool with lots of lovely villages/pubs also nearby. We walked up to Admiral Rodneyâs pillar which was a great walk with a fantastic view. We also had a takeaway delivered from the halfway house nearby that was very tasty. We would definitely visit again.

We had a lovely week celebrating Christmas and birthdays and many memories were made, The adults loved the hot tub and the little ones made great use of the play barn, although the adults were enjoying it over there too with the air hockey being a great game! It was brilliant that it was just across from the house too. A trip to The Windmill Inn was great in their exclusive function room with log burner-just ring to check availability before you go and theyâll start up the fire. Great chips!
