The cabin had everything we required and more, it is close to Ludlow and other charming country villages and towns for sightseeing. I had forgotten how beautiful the countryside is, in this area. I will book this space again next year.

The settees were not as comfy as some, but that tends to go with settees today. Basically a cosy, comfy place to escape to with easy access to local towns and sites. Have to say it was the cleanest holiday cottage we have been to in years! Well done.

I was fortunate to spend a few days in this lovely cabin, the decor for me was fabulous and the amenities were fine too, note: no oven, but a double gas hob and an air fryer. The kitchen has everything, you want boiled eggs, there's egg cups on the shelf, you want to pour milk from a jug, you have a choice of jugs, the plates, cups; soup cups, I was in absolute awe. The place is small and was enough for myself and children. The cabin has its own little decking area outside, it could do with having a small grassy area besides it, as it gets fabulous sun in the mornings. With a 3 min drive to the nearest village, which has a chip shop, can get pricey if there's a few of you but the owner is lovely. Everyone I met was lovely the owners are on site, but we were left to our devices, the children were invited to use their garden which was nice. We got to see a few rabbits. Myself and my little one opted to sleep on the sofa bed, and I have to say, it was really comfortable, it was really firm and having a bad back, the sofa gave me life. The only downside is the reception, my phone really didn't cope well, so it became a little difficult to arrange activities from the day before and being a neuro diverse family, the down times were hard, we only managed to stay 3 out of 7 nights as it was too much for them, but I know I would definitely go back, alone if I could. There is a meter there, which take £1 coins only, I kept forgetting to get cash and when I left the petrol st machine had broken, so keep that in mind. On the whole I had a great time, a word of warning even on a warm day, it gets very cold, but there is plenty heating for such moments. It's a great little place, I feel you have to be there to see it, because it keeps giving. To date one of my favourite places to stay, and I intend to return.
