A quirky little cottage just right for a couple and their four-legged companion. There was frosty weather during my week there but the electric wood burner kept the cottage nice and toasty. Lots of good walking in the area. Thanks for the half dozen fresh eggs, I ate them all! Highly recommended.

We loved the cottage. Was a challenge to find with a very sharp turning to access the final stretch.Once there we settled in.The electric log burner was a god send as it turned chilly Oswestry is beautiful. The fresh eggs from their chickens was a nice touch.We were left to it. Some may prefer more owner interaction but it worked for us. Thank you.
