This is a small but well-considered space and will suit a couple who want a bolthole that’s also sociable. It’s in a sort of farm hamlet with an old farmhouse next door, the owners in the coach house and various other buildings with neighbours, so you’ll feel quietly embraced. It’s light and airy inside because of the big windows and skylights, and cosy with a wood-burner when chilly.
Breeze off with a picnic hamper into the hills, or walk from the door onto the Carding Mill Valley range or Long Mynd – 500m up and the longest hill in Shropshire. If you like running, ask Tom and Em for their favourite routes. It’s a gentle one-mile stroll to The Bottle and Glass in Picklescott for innovative pub food.
There’s a fishing lake in the grounds (£6 for two rods), you’ll find OS maps and walking advice inside, cyclists can keep their bikes sheltered, bridleways start from the end of the drive. Return to cake from the local baker, Mr Bun, and unlimited logs. The shared courtyard has brick paths, your own eating space and a firepit barbecue. Wait for the stars to come out.
We can highly recommend Nest for a great relaxing break in the countryside..It is beautifully decorated with modern kitchen and bathroom updates,comfortable high quality bed and bedding , towels and kitchen is well equipped with great sharp knives , sufficient cutlery,glasswear saucepans etc and a dishwasher ! Nice touches, like freshly ground coffee, dark brown sugar and local biscuits and milk on arrival, ground salt and pepper are also to hand. The accomodation is comfortable, extremely clean and cosy, wi Fi is fast but fone is patchy, this didn't cause us any problems.
