Reviews
Stayed for a week in this excellent cottage. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need for a great stay. Very pleasant greeting and care from owners who live on site. Excellent base to tour Shropshire. Visited Severn Valley railway and all the Ironbridge museums. Great walking in Shropshire hills. Meals from butcher in Much Wenlock must not be missed.
