Tucked away in a great rural location and yet only 10 minutes drive into Shrewsbury with all that it has to offer. Plenty of dog friendly venues and places to eat.

The cottage is beautiful, a first class property in which to stay. We are dogless, so used the Dog House as a base to visit the Ironbridge museum, walk the banks of Sabrina (prefer the Roman), and tour Shrewsbury and Snowdonia. The owner, Andrew, is an excellent host, very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful week, thank you Andrew.

Had a fantastic week staying at the Dog House everything was a very high standard and the little touches of a few snacks, dog treats and milk in the fridge were very much appreciated! Andy was a great host, very knowledgable of the area and was always contactable if any questions needed answering but also had a nice amount of privacy to just relax and unwind. The walks from the property were fantastic and Doug our golden retriever had the best time running and sniffing in the fields.

Susan

Really cant recommend the dog house enough. Its ideally situated for hill walking etc.

Great property, well equipped in a lovely part of the country. Clean and tidy and perfect for dog owners. Lovely walks straight off the back of the property. Very modern and everything you need is there. Andy is a great host, happy to share his knowledge of walks and the area. We ate Sunday lunch (and a breakfast in the week) at the farm shop and c an highly recommend it. An evening meal in Shrewsbury at the Ego at the Grapes and another at the Hickory Smokehouse, really nice. Would stay again.

Jane

An absolute pearl of a cottage! Just far away and near enough to it all, The Dog House is a wonderful place to use as a base to visit all the local attractions or to chill and enjoy the quality accommodations. The host Andy makes you feel right at home and his cottage has all the amenities youd expect, and more, from a 5 star property. On top of th is you have a comprehensive shop just a minute or so walk away so youll never run out of ice, drinks or food to enhance your stay. Well be back!

We had a lovely week, the cottage is ideally located to explore all areas and attractions. Cottage is lovely and very well equipped and decorated. The hot tub is clearly a winner and a must after a day exploring. Only criticism is the leather sofa which we found uncomfortable. Everything else was perfect and would highly recommend the dog house to all.
