Virginia Cottage is in a great position and central for seeing such interesting places in Shropshire. This is our second visit to this Cottage and would definitely go back. The owners are very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Cannot wait to go back.

Mr Purkiss

A very clean and well-presented cottage, with high-quality furnishings and appliances. We would definitely recommend this property.

Mr Shipman

A weekend was quite simply not long enough! So tastefully and comfortably furnished with such care taken to ensure the cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The 'personal' welcome pack really helped us to get the most out of the short time we had! Would just love to return when time permits. Just perfect! Thank you so very much!

Mrs King

The cottage was fantastic, you couldn't want for a better cottage, we have been in a few over the years and this is top of the list by far. We will be back next year for sure.

A comfortable and well equipped cottage with all the information needed to make the most of our stay. It was clear that the owners gave a lot of thought to what guests would need, both within the cottage and in terms of information to quickly and easily benefit from all there is on offer in this lovely part of the country.

Mrs Short

Best Holiday Accomodation you could wish for!

The service we received was excellent. The Holiday Accomodation was perfect. There was everything you could want and more besides! We were all impressed with the wonderful layout and comfort of the home. The location was quiet and peaceful. My only complaint(besides the weather) was there were no close amenities, you had to drive everywhere.

Delightful Stay in Beautiful Home and Surroundings

"The cottage was beautiful and lovely and clean and very comfortable. Had all the things you require a home to have from essential cooking utensils to home comforts. The owners Penny and her Husband and their family were most hospitable." Would highly recommend a visit here. Some lovely pubs to visit in surrounding areas too.

We hope to return one day very soon!.

Week of R & R

We had an awesome weeks rest in Virginia Cottage, the owners where fantastic people, I only wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you could want for a perfect break. I come from a farming background so the peace and quite of this farm forming a part of the village reminded me of my childhood from Cross Farm in Eastry, Kent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone with or without animals.

Bryan P. Hoare

A warm and corfortable luxury break.

The cottage provided a good base for touring Shrophshire with good walks out of the front door for the dog. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. The local shop/ P.O. stocked the daily papers and other essential but often forgotten items.
Hope to return again soon.

Mrs Brierley

This cottage should be 5 star. A very comfortable and well equipped property. Very secure patio - good for young children or pets. Excellent pub nearby (approx 2 miles) - "The Pound" at Leebotwood.

Mrs Davison

Absolutely beautiful cottage in a lovely peaceful location. Everything necessary for a wonderful holiday was provided in the cottage, even a welcoming bottle of wine on the dresser. Easy access to all that Shropshire has to offer and there is certainly plenty to see there. Excellent food in "The Plough" at Leebotwood about 2 miles away and an excellent Sunday carvery lunch at "The Station Inn" at Marshbrook, Church Stretton. We were so fortunate to pick the hot weather in April. It was more like being on holiday in July!

Mrs Bowden

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Quiet and peaceful in a lovely area. Can't praise it highly enough. Excellent meals at the Pound, Leebotwood and Sunday carvery at the Station Inn, Marshbrook.

Mrs Bowden

The cottage was immaculate, and the best accommodation that we have stayed in. Sometimes, if a property accepts dogs, you do not expect the incredibly high standard which greeted us at Virginia. The owners should be extremely proud of their conversion. A 5* property at an affordable price. Would definitely look to book again in the not too distant future. Cannot praise the cottage, or the warm friendly welcome by the owners, enough.
