We stayed between Christmas and new year 2024, amazing location, terrific views when the fog cleared, no close by shop but good co op in Ironbridge. 4.5 miles away. Advise take kindling for log burner as no close by shop sells it, a good basket of logs were supplied and the log burner is brilliant, very warm and slow burning. Beds very comfortable Read morekitchen well equipped. Fantastic area to explore steeped in history. The road in to the farm is long with only 2 passing points but we had no problems Hide
