Unfortunately, we left feeling dirty and itchy. For the amount of money that we paid for the weekend, we would have liked for the place to have been clean but unfortunately, this wasn’t the case. If you are booking with small children, beware, as the facilities are filthy.
The views were lovely and location the location is beautiful, however, the accommodation was disgusting. I’ve never stayed in a place so dirty before.
I would avoid if you have small children and avoid if you want a clean place. Unfortunately this puts the place at a 1/5.
I don’t want this to be a malice review, but I don’t want people to spend thousands of pounds to stay in a place that isn’t cleaned.

We had a fantastic stay, celebrating my mums 70th with all the family. The kids loved the games room and it was brilliant having so much space. Had read previous reviews stating the postcode was incorrect on the listing so double checked with Karen the owner, who was very helpful. We were also emailed by her a few days before (this went to my junk so look out for it). I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the place given how big it was. Agree a hot tub would be a great asset. Although a little remote, we visited Blists Hill, Shrewsbury and Attingham National Trust. Thank you so much for a week filled with wonderful memories, after so much time apart in lockdown.
