We were a family of 8 and the granary still felt very spacious. It was very well equipped and had everything you could possibly need. The games room was an added bonus. We went to visit Blists Victorian museum which was 35mins away.

Delightful and wonderfully functional house for a mix of adults and a 1 yr old. The hosts could not have been more helpful. Was very quiet and great to be able to go on walks from the door but have a Co Op in Pontesbury for any necessaries. Was beautifully warm even in thick snow and below freezing temperatures and the games room was a great addition for wet days. My only comment would be another sharp knife or two would be great and two pillows per bed perhaps in the twin rooms if adults are staying.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The house had so much space for us, and we felt very cosy. The surrounding village was beautiful and we could easily head to Carding Mill Valley for walks. The games room was a nice perk as well! Would visit again.
