A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
Reviews
A great deal of care has gone into making Robin's Nest a great place to stay. Very comfortable, very well equipped, and a great veranda facing a field of sheep and the getting the best of the afternoon/evening sun.
Robin's Nest fully lived up to expectations, it was very cosy and comfortable and we liked being close to a working farm.
This was a lovely warm and welcoming place, ideal for a couple and dog. We couldn't fault it.
The bed was fantastic and the whole cottage provided in ace quality, everything you could wish for. Couldn't recommend this property more highly. Huge thanks.
A cosy and well equipped cottage with lovely owners.
A really lovely cottage with everything we needed.
Robin's Nest was lovely and warm, and the bed sumptuous! Everything to hand and the area was beautiful, with plentiful walks to suit all ages, and we would love to visit again sometime. All the local people that we met were very friendly and helpful.
The location of the cottage was nice and central for walking. It was rural but within easy reach of local shops which were excellent.
We thought it was very good value for money and had a lovely comfortable stay, the cottage was well cared for and thoughtfully well provided for guests. There was a welcome tea tray with a jug of milk and biscuits on our arrival. The owner was on hand if we had any problems, but there were none. The utility room is well equipped for guests' use. We brought our mattress topper but it was not needed as the zip link bed already had a super king size topper on it! This meant we slept very well and woke refreshed ready for another day of walking and exploring Ludlow, the Long Mynd and surrounding area. We can't wait to go back.
The property was ideally situated for visiting local areas, it was immaculate inside, and the owners were very nice too. We would definitely visit this property again because of the comfort and location.
The cottage was everything you could want, friendly owners, very clean and situated in a lovely area which made it an ideal base for touring and walking. Everything you could want for a relaxing holiday.
