I enjoyed a comfortable stay in this beautiful cottage with my family for a chilled weekend. The cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The hosts Craig and Suzi were very attentive and informative. We loved the hot tub, visited the church next door, the falcon pub and the fete at the community hall. We took advantage of the dry weather so enjoyed a long walk around local area and stopped off at the Goldstone Hall hotel enroute for drinks. The Red Lion at Market Drayton was fabulous also. All in all a fantastic find with everything you could need … thankyou
