The Vinery is lovely, spacious, well appointed in a quiet rural location but well situated for visiting Shrewsbury and other Shropshire attractions, such as the Shropshire hills, Ironbridge, Offa’s Dyke and the Welsh border. Despite the high ceilings and open plan it was warm and cosy thanks to the central heating and log burner.

The Vinery is as described and as per photographs. Lovely comfortable bed and bedding. The cottage is finished to a very high standard with everything you need. Emma is very friendly and accommodating and quick to answer any queries. It was a pity we visited in winter and couldn’t fully appreciate the wonderful walled gardens. We hope to visit again in the warmer months.
