Clean and quite comfortable. Kitchen supplies basic but adequate. Couple of minor issues on arrival ( owners not at fault)quickly remedied by the very friendly Julie. Sofa and chair new and more modern not as in photos. The fixed shower screen would mean a squeeze into the shower if on the large side. Plenty of wood and supplies for the wood burner and, if the weather had been better, a lovely area to sit outside with a fire pit. We were made very welcome by the owners. We were there for a 3 nt break and found it easy to get to Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth and Buildwas Abbey.

) never saw a soul all week. No welcome from anyone, no welcome pack, no tourist information brochures, no logs. Furniture was not as published the Sykes brochure and living room decor could do with some TLC. Shower opening is very small if you are a larger person you may not be able to use it. Cottage its self is lovely and was very clean, a lovely area beds were very comfortable.

And we entertained our local family several times as well. We paid the extra $10 per week for endless firewood and had a fire most nights. Great host and great place. Highly recommend.
