  : Comfortable and cosy cottage style annex.. Good location for Bridgnorth and the Mill Barns wedding venue. Friendly owner.Well equipped kitchen, although we only used it briefly.Free parking.Various bed options and nice sized bedroom, living room and bathroom.
  : Slight hiccup in communication meant that our bed requirements were not met, but that was easily sorted.Leaking front window during heavy rain.Noise and vibration from utility in the main house.Puddles and slippery surfaces in the courtyard when wet.We arrived New Year's Day and some summary info on local shops, restaurants, pubs would have been helpful.

  : Beautiful views from the property. Very comfortable with good facilities. Lots of brochures provided showing all the local attractions.
  : Check-in was a bit tricky. It was raining and dark when I arrived and I couldnt get the box open to retrieve the keys. Maybe a little shelter over it so its easier for guests.

  : On the positive side, the cottage is nicely sited with exceptional views from all sides. The location too is excellent with its siting making it an easy drive to a large number of local attractions, such as the Severn Valley Railway (5), Dudmaston Hall (5), the Severn Valley Country Park and West Midlands Safari Park (15), Black Country Living Museum (35) and Welshpool and Llanfair Railway (58). The bed is large and comfortable and the kitchen is well laid out. The shower is comfy and there is plenty of hot water.
  : On the less positive side, although having tremendous potential, the property feels slightly tired. Most of the furniture is sturdy and well built but well worn. The bath appeared to be dirty but on closer inspection appeared to be quite worn. There were also a number of minor niggles such as the cold tap in the kitchen dripping unless in a certain position (not totally off) and the window in the bedroom which once unlocked could not be kept in a slightly open position but dropped to leave it far too wide for the time of year. A manual for the cooker would also be helpful as although most of it could be worked out intuitively, use of the grill required downloading a manual from the internet. We enjoyed our stay but it could have been improved by attention to the points raised above.

  : Lovely large property, well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Helpful and charming hosts.
  : The bath was old and stained......not appealing. Thankfully the shower was very clean and modern, so it did not spoil our experience.
