The Parlour is beautifully presented with everything you could want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The lovely attached garden is a real bonus, especially if you have a dog with you too. The rural location makes for a gorgeous setting - the only reason I have marked it average for local amenities, but there are many places and nearby towns to visit in the area, so this was not an issue for us. We loved it!

Fantastic bank holiday stay at the parlour. Very comfortable and clean, with all you need to have a relaxing break. Weather was also kind and fantastic location to explore both the Shropshire and Welsh countryside. There has been a great deal of attention to detail and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Only negative is the lack of smart tv however understood that the WiFi broadband will struggle. Peaceful place and definitely a recommendation for a visit
