Great location and nice warm house. Great for a family get away. Nice pub next door and perfect for a fishing and steam train family! Two ensuite bathrooms have wet room showers which is not my preference but it serves a purpose. Village shop 20 minutes walk is well stocked for essentials.

Great setting with the steam trains and river on the door step. Pub next door with wonderful food. Some lovely walks in the country park. Plenty of room for the 6 of us and our 3 dogs. Really cosy with the log burner in the evening.

We really enjoyed our holiday here, the house is very comfortable and the outside space is perfect for entertaining. We had a great time exploring along the river with our little dog and a trip on a steam train to Bridgnorth was extra special and wonderfully convenient with highley station at the end of the garden!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the rooms were comfortable and sufficient space for our family. And the weather enabled us to really make the most of outside deck space in the garden in a relaxed setting which was a bonus. A good place for a break away from busy lives and an ideal place for some train spotting on Severn valley railway.
