Everything about the cottage was perfect. The Mill House has been restored very sensitively, and the work has been realized by highly skilled artisans - and the results, evident throughout the property, can only be admired. All of the facilities are excellent. The furnishings are beautiful, practical and tasteful. The location is convenient for everything - walking, shopping, restaurants. Our stay exceeded all expectations in every regard. Thank you Rosemary. We loved your cottage.

Great Cottage in Quiet location

The cottage was exactly as listed and of a very high standard inside. Located in a quiet village but close enough to everything we planned to do on our holiday, would happily stay here again.

Lovely setting and cottage

Five stars for everything - spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable cottage - we really enjoyed our stay. Lovely lemon cake - I think it was home baked, plus milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Rosemary made us feel welcome.

Idyllic cottage

Old mill cottage is a lovely, spacious and beautifully restored cottage with many original features. We spent three nights there and the owner has thought of everything to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. We will definitely rebook when we next come to visit Shropshire.

Lovely comfortable house in beautiful surroundings

The house was cozy and warm, and lovely and quiet. We had a nice relaxing stay, garden is lovely and delicious homemade cake on arrival. Host was helpful and accomodating, and check in was easy. Nice walks from the cottage. Very close to the border with Wales, went to Powis Castle which is worth a visit. The local area is a bit sparse for shops, would recommend having a car, but Shrewsbury is a lovely historic town closeby, we used the park and ride (15 mins away). Definitely would recommend this cottage if you are looking for a peaceful countryside retreat!

Lovely comfortable old mill house.

We like walking and there were plenty of remote footpaths and bridle paths all to ourselves. Also the property was ideally situated for visits to north Wales where there were more nice walking paths up hills, across farmland and to remote castles. We hope to come back to this friendly location.

Perfect getaway in the country

We enjoyed this well appointed recently completely renovated cottage in its pastoral setting. Great location for much of what Shropshire has to offer, especially if you do not mind driving on narrow country roads to get anywhere! We would recommend it.
