Lovely week
We had a lovely week at this cottage. Nora and Simon were so helpful and welcoming. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. There were many thoughtful touches. The location was perfect for exploring the area and i would recommend the Park and Ride to go into Shrewsbury. We hope to return in future!

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

A fabulous cottage in a quiet village
An ideal property for two people, well equipped and furnished to a high standard in a great location for visiting Shrewsbury and other places in Shropshire. The cottage was extremely quiet and peaceful in the evening and at night time, ensuring a good nights sleep in the comfortable bed. Nora and Simon were delightful hosts, quick to respond to any queries and helpful and friendly throughout. We really appreciated the delicious cake and welcome pack goodies awaiting us on our arrival.

Great location, property with superb service. Fabulous stay.
Some background…my wife and I have recently retired and moved to Shrewsbury from Canada. We had originally booked this approx. two years ago. Covid and other issues necessitated a few amendments to our stay dates which Nora promptly and efficiently accommodated. This was our first experience with the superb service that our hosts provided. Our stay was for two weeks in July. The Corn House has the bedroom/bathroom downstairs with the living area/kitchen upstairs. This worked out well for sleeping with the warmer weather. My wife and I are in our early 50s and have travelled extensively. This property is as advertised. Quiet, peaceful location while still providing easy access to Shrewsbury either by car or bus (Arriva 546). If available, I would recommend booking it.

Very Pleasant Stay
This booking was made a long time ago and had to be updated/changed due to travel plans changing. Nora and Simon were fantastic in accommodating our changes. The property itself is beautiful. Close to Shrewsbury town center for driving or taking the 546 Arriva bus service. They are superb hosts and highly recommended. As an aside, we booked a second stay at the end of this one and I will write a more comprehensive review then.
