Set in the South Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottage nestles in the Onny valley, which divides the Stiperstones and Longmynd ranges, providing plentiful opportunities for rambling and bird-watching.

The holiday unit faces south towards a large landscaped garden (over an acre) which runs down to the river and adjoining land. Holidaymakers are at liberty to enjoy the garden which, with its wide variety of trees and shrubs, part cultivated and part wild, provides interest, beauty and seclusion through the changing seasons.

The accommodation is compact, being ideal for a couple or a couple with one child. The front door opens onto a small dining kitchen, equipped with electric cooker, microwave and fridge, from which access is obtained to the beamed and vaulted lounge with colour TV and radio/CD player. Here a spacious feeling is obtained through the balustraded "minstrels" gallery and full height end walls, whose windows overlook the patio (with outdoor furniture) and gardens.

A step down provides access to the walk-in shower room with toilet and wash hand basin.

The sleeping accommodation, which occupies the roof space, is accessed from a timber staircase which ascends from the kitchen.

The landing area has space for a single bed, clothes hanging and storage, and is curtained off from the double bedroom with it's open gallery, rooflights and authentic "arrowslit" windows.

Background (oil-fired) central heating is provided from the owners home and there are additional electric panel heaters if required. All fuel, power and bed linen is included in the rental price.

The cottage is roughly equidistant from Ludlow and Shrewsbury and well-placed for excursions via Church Stoke into Mid-Wales.

Within walking distance are 3 inns which serve good food and drink.
