A very enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Cornhouse
A lovely cottage set in a very quiet location and very helpful hosts. A comfortable and well equipped property that is convenient for Shrewsbury, walking in the Carding Mill Valley and several National Trust properties nearby.

Wonderful, relaxing, peaceful and spacious
We had a super stay in Hook-a-gate at this spacious and very well presented and equipped cottage. Nora was a lovely host and left a generous welcome basket. We like to try different places and never stay in the same accomodation twice, but I’d definitely make an exception for this lovely property in a great location to explore Shrewsbury and the surrounding area. Thanks so much Nora.

Excellent Cottage in quiet location for exploring Shropshire
Second time we have stay here ... lovely cottage for a couple in small village 4 miles from centre of Shrewsbury. Greeted with a lovely welcome pack including milk, eggs, bread , butter and biscuits . Bathroom and shower on the ground floor and lounge/kitchen (one room) on the first floor with outside sitting area if the weather is warm - lovely views. Great base to explore this part of the world as we visited Powis Castle and charming village of Ludlow both about 45 minutes driving. Shrewsbury 10 minutes max is also an excellent walk around with lovely gardens etc
