The owners were there to meet us and explain things. The bedrooms were lovely with comfortable beds. The bathrooms were both shower rooms with lovely towels. The kitchens had everything you needed. There is even a downstairs toilet. Lovely little courtyard you can sit out but it was too hot for us. You have your own parking .We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Lovely location, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Very nice hosts, friendly and helpful with local information. Ideally located for Shrewsbury and the Shropshire countryside. Exactly as described.We were there on a stifling hot weekend, but the cottage remained airy and with a lovely outside courtyard and great views. Completely recommend.

'A little slice of heaven'. The setting for the Coach House is beautiful, a quiet hamlet, with a great pub within walking distance (it isn't open every day though, so be sure to check before you arrive), but if you want a shop you'll have to drive out. In the grounds of the hosts home, the garden in late spring was a sight to behold and house martins were dipping and diving all around.Nora and Simon were so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. The cottage itself is one of the best equipped I've ever stayed in (including both a teapot and a cafetiere!) and everything was in good working condition. I usually travel with a mattress topper but the beds were so comfortable I didn't need to use it (another 1st). If you like walking you can do so straight from the cottage. All the information supplied by the hosts was detailed and accurate and finding the cottage was easy. I would definitely stay again.
