Lovely and comfy and well equipped.
Lovely and comfy and well equipped. Log-burner is a winner for me. Not suitable if you're over 6ft. You'll have to duck in the bedroom and shower. Beautiful area for walks from the door. Especially close to Offa's Dyke. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a beautiful little cottage in an idyllic location.
This is a beautiful little cottage in an idyllic location. It is small, but it's so well thought and furnished out that we never felt cramped. It helped that the weather was glorious, and we could sit out on a private patio area overlooking the chickens and the valley below. Nothing was too much trouble for our host Pip, who left us milk and home-produced eggs, flowers on the table, and even made a special trip into Oswestry to get us a disposable barbecue. Lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. Highly recommended. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a lovely time in the cottage.
We had a lovely time in the cottage. The owners life next door and are very helpful with tips and recommendations for the area. We stayed with our two dogs who loved the underfloor heating. A lot! Dogs are allowed in the pigsty, but only downstairs. Also be aware that the (lovely) garden is not adjacent to the house. So if your travelling with dogs there is a very confident cat between you and the garden. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
