The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with only a few remarks about the sofa being too low and the bed being hard for one guest with a bad back.

The property was spotless and the owner was welcoming and on hand to answer any questions. The walks through the gardens and woodland were beautiful. Church Stretton with its lovely pubs, cafés, shops and stunning walks up the Carding Mill Valley and across Longmynd is just a short drive away. The property is highly recommended.

Right on Wenlock Edge so lots of walking available right on the doorstep, without even having to drive to them, Church Stretton a short drive away is beautiful with plenty of walking and all the amenities for needs, pubs and places to eat. Visits to Ludlow and Welshpool, Little Stretton All Stretton many places to see. The owner and staff on New Hall Farm are welcoming and friendly, lots of animals, horses dogs and even Peacocks living on the farm were a delight.
