All the rooms were well equipped, and of a good size. The gardens were again provided with plenty of seating and a patio table. Easy transport links by bus from Onibury (approx 1 mile away with parking nearby) to Shrewsbury and Ludlow, and rail connections from Craven Arms ( approx 2.5 miles away with free station parking).

Contacted the owner before visit with a question which was answered promptly. Accommodation was exactly as expected and we enjoyed the space and flexibility. Everything was very clean, neat and lovely and warm when we arrived. The enclosed garden and parking was great for our little dog. Nice and close to the Ludlow Farm Shop for lunch and to Ludlow itself for a nice relaxing day.
