We really enjoyed our stay at Walkmill Lodge. It's in a perfect location for exploring the Shropshire Hills and the nearby towns. Very dog-friendly with enclosed garden space. Weather wasn't great so no chance really to sit out but there are several spots with seating in the garden. Local pub within walking distance - the Inn on the Green serves good food but other pubs are a drive away. Local shop good for basics but it is also quite a drive to a bigger supermarket (expected though in such a fairly remote. location).
