Great village. Very nice owner.

Main front bedroom needs a decent size mirror near an electric socket and a king size bed would be more comfy than the very small double , 2nd bedroom dark and dusty. On street parking isn't that easy to find in evenings. On a positive note its central location is good and Leintwardine is a lovely village.
