Outstanding

Idyllic holiday cottage with gorgeous views. We loved everything about The Cowshed - the peace and quiet, the comfy sun room, the amazing shower, the beautiful flowers, delicious shortbread and juicy plums fresh from the orchard. Brian and Gill are the perfect hosts and work really hard to make sure everything is immaculate. Lots of great places to visit within easy reach. Thank you for a really special week.

Luxurious, spacious & in excellent location.

The Cowshed is beautifully laid out and feels very spacious for two. It's kitted out to a very high spec with everything you could ever need. The bedroom, living area, bathroom and kitchen are luxurious and comfortable but the sun room was a real standout for us: we spent many hours just watching the stunning view towards Ludlow change with the weather. There's loads to do and see in the surrounding area which is great for walking and (challenging & hilly) cycling. Last of all, Brian and Gill were lovely hosts. They welcomed us with generous gifts of wine, home-baked shortbread and fruit and were always on hand for advice and tips about the local area. Thank you both so much for a wonderful stay. All the best, Liz and Mike
