Lovely property, v clean and comfortable. Owners friendly.
Welcome pack included a lovely home made lemon drizzle cake and jar of marmalade.
Lovely garden and patio. Easy parking.
Works to a house on the path to the property meant it was a bit muddy.

Great Property; lovely hosts
Writers Lodge is beautifully appointed with everything you could need including a bed so comfortable I had to prise myself out of it.
Caroline and Bob (the hosts) live just across the courtyard and they couldn't have been more welcoming, helpful and respectful of privacy.
Bishops Castle is charming and is in a textbook, beautifully English location. Nice pubs, book shops and indie cafes plus terrific mountain biking and hill walking within seconds of the property.
PS: Caroline's Lemon Drizzle cake and home made marmalade was a thoughtful and delicious welcome gift.

Perfect place in perfect location
Lovely welcome from our hosts, friendly but not intrusive.
The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with quality fixtures and fittings. Beautiful patio area with an abundance of colourful plants. Centrally located in the town but tucked away in a secluded quiet area. Lots of interesting books to read, just not sufficient time in our busy schedule. We chose not to take the car and arrived by local bus from Shrewsbury.As keen walkers we had a wonderful time exploring the area, never missed the car, so many fabulous walks from the doorstep. Did the evening walk around the town with John as our guide, very interesting and informative. Lots to do and lots to see from a perfect base.
