Delightful (and Chris is a Stones fan too!)
Anthony and Gail, USA
Wonderfully welcoming and generous hosts! Voted the best breakfast between here and John O' Groats.
David & Robert, Land's End
The house is absolutely lovely, the grounds all well kept with poultry and horses, oh and a few frogs from the pond. We were met by Chris, a charming man who quickly showed us to our rooms. Both were well appointed, comfy beds and all appeared very newly furnished and decorated. The style was in keeping with the house and there was fast wifi and a TV (not that we turned it on!). Breakfast in the morning was promptly prepared and piping hot with a good selection of alternatives for the vegetarian in our party and the more figure conscious members! Should we be in this part of the world again it will be our first choice. Very well done, delightful B&B, ideally located for Telford, Ironbridge and all parts of Shropshire. Thanks for a lovely stay I just wish we could have stayed longer.
