Having a log burner was a great treat. WiFi is patchy throughout the house but that didnât bother us. Off road Car parking is a few steps up from the house behind a gate so felt secure. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We had great comms from Zoe to let us know the place was ready and also some nice goodies as a welcome pack. There are excellent woodland walks from the door, the surrounding countryside is very quiet and peaceful, but Oswestry is just a short drive away and well worth a visit. Thank you for making it such a great stay!
