  This is a really delightful cottage so well presented with every comfort you need and spotlessly clean.

  We visited in January so it was very cold but the added electric wood effect fires in the living room and the main bedroom made it all so cosy. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful bed linen. The kitchen was so well equipped we could have stayed there for months and the welcome pack of wine, chocolates milk and eggs and juice in the fridge was a lovely gesture. Mike and June were so helpful and friendly too. We are definitely returning in the warmer weather to enjoy all the lovely walks in the beautiful countryside. There is also an attractive big back garden where one can sit out with access through the French doors in the sitting room. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

  This is a beautiful traditional cottage, well presented and furnished.

  The kitchen is large and modern, adequately equipped. There is a lovely log burner in the lounge but be aware that logs and firelighters are “not an endless supply” - to quote the owner. I needed to buy both to keep the burner going during a cold week in the winter. The weather was frosty and icy but no grit or salt provided, one of us slipped on the ice, falling heavily at the front of the property. However the accommodation suited our multi generation stay and the village of Blakedown, although small, had two nice pubs for eating out. The cottage is situated in an area with lots to do and see to suit all generations.

  Hengoed is well placed for visiting all around North Shropshire and into Wales, as we often diverted into.

  Plus, South Shropshire is in easy reach. We like to travel around and see places, so sitting back and releaxing isn't really what we look for in a holiday cottage. That said, Little Beeches proved perfect for our needs, was not cramped or wanting in any way, and is in a delightfully quiet area. You can sit outsuide on the small stone "decking" and enjoy viewing the owner's pretty garden, and really imagine you are away from it all. Plenty to see and do around the area and we discovered pretty Ellesmere, somewhere we immediately felt we could move to and be happy! A real pleasant find. Little Beeches is recommended.

  A wonderful stay with the children ages ranging from 6 years to 20, one of whom loves trains.

  They all loved waving at them passing by. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with enough space to accommodate us all. We visited Drayton Manor, which was about an hour away, Cabury World, (which teens and tots all enjoyed, especially the chocolate handouts) and Severn Valley railway. There are large supermarkets close by as well as a local shop and plenty of takeaways. The only 'faults' were nowhere to dry laundry on a rainy day and could have had more crockery particularly children friendly dishes. We hand to put the dishwasher on after breakfast to ensure clean crockery for tea and vicer versa.

  Received a very warm welcome from the owners of the cottage, who had left milk and bread for us so that we brew up as soon as we had arrived.

  The cottage was very well equipped with everything one would hope to find …. and much more. Beds were lovely and comfortable, plenty of towels. Free WiFi. TV also had Netflix. Beautiful garden. It is well situated. Only a few miles from Llangollen and Chester. Chirk Castle is only 3 miles from the cottage and well worth a visit. We also visited Lake Vyrnwy Nature Reserve and Trentham Gardens and Monkey Forrest. The Fantastic Fun House in Oswestry is great for the kids. Overall an exceptionally good place to stay. Many thanks to Mark and June (owners). Dave, Sandra and Hollie
