Very comfortable property and perfect for our dog; secure garden and good local walks. Our dog is a nervous rescue and we found the kennel and dog run really useful. There is also a large utility room with a dog crate. Andy the host is lovely, recommended some great walks and our normally shy girl got on with his dog Roly. A really well thought outRead more property and deserving of its 5* rating. Hide

A lovely cottage near Shrewsbury. Very well maintained and clean. The hot tub is large with a variety of jets, bubbles and very pleasant lighting.

The cottage is beautiful, a first class property in which to stay. We are dogless, so used the Dog House as a base to visit the Ironbridge museum, walk the banks of Sabrina (prefer the Roman), and tour Shrewsbury and Snowdonia. The owner, Andrew, is an excellent host, very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful week, thank you Andrew.
