Reviews
The location is great - the house used to be the station and trains still run next to it. Mostly two or three carriage passenger trains which disappear in a few seconds. Only longer and slightly noisier goods trains take longer than a flash! The grandchildren loved having a train set just outside and it really is not that loud. But the best bit for them was the games room! We were so glad that the owners kept the toys out and especially the air hockey. They loved it - and so did we! So many places have gone nuts over COVID - and this shows how you should do it. The house had plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen. The lounge has a good size TV - not that we had time to view much - there is so much to see: Ironbridge Gorge (with ten museums including the wonderful Blists Hill Village), Cosford RAF Museum, Shrewsbury - we even ventured to Chester (an hour away)! We stayed for a week - Friday to Friday (the best handover dates) - and loved it! Thoroughly recommended!
A friend booked this place for a long weekend in Shropshire (9 of us). Really nice place to stay, a great location for exploring South Shropshire (we did Church Stretton, Ludlow, Ironbridge and Shrewsbury). And I particularly liked being next to the railway, but I guess the clue is in the name, We will be back but next time for a lot longer.
