Superb CL could not ask for any more.

What a cracking site, beautifully manicured pitches and gardens , on pitch waste / recycling and fully serviced, cant ask for any more . Great location for Ironbridge museums , lots to do in the area. Gaskell Arms in Much Wenlock is a short drive for evening meals and is very nice especially Sunday lunch. Perfect to relax as well as its very quiet.

Lovely CL

My husband and I have just returned home from seven nights at Firs Cottage and enjoyed every minute. We received a lovely warm welcome from Brian and Alison and had a choice of pitches. The site is every bit as immaculate as it looks in the photos. Obviously having a fully serviced pitch on a CL is a huge bonus and metered electricity seems to us the fairest way to operate. We'd actually used less than anticipated when we settled up which was good. It was our first visit to Shropshire and we loved the county. We walked to Much Wenlock, which is a lovely little town, we visited Attingham Park (a National Trust property), we went to Carding Mill Valley twice which was easily one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited, we loved Ironbridge and also walked part of Wenlock Edge and climbed Hope Bowdler Hill. Wish we'd had longer really, but then at least we have a reason to return! As mentioned, you do really need a car to explore the area but we had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the site. Well done Brian and Alison.

Excellent CL

We had a great few days at Firs Cottage despite the typical British Spring weather ! Hosts Alison and Brian were most welcoming and a mine of useful local information which is supported by a great notice board detailing walks and local towns worth a visit. The pitches are spacious and well defined and the garden areas are an added bonus. All the pitches haves their own tap and electric and waste is drained into the hedge that runs around the site. The local area is great to explore and we enjoyed days and walks in Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Ironbridge and Ludlow all of which offer plenty to see and do and some lovely cafes. We hope to be back again one day.

Wonderful peaceful gem.

We arrived in early afternoon, and it stayed dry whilst we pitched up. Greeted by Brian , very friendly, who gave us the relevant information. The site is laid out beautifully, nice wide pitches, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. It is so peaceful, lovely birdsong is the only noise all around. We were able to walk our little dog out through the gate, and along the lane, which had no traffic to speak of. Very easy to get to Much Wenlock, which has a quaint little High Street. Bridgnorth is only 15 minutes away, with lots of cafes and interesting shops. We had the best fish and chips ever, chip shop just off the high street, would highly recommend. Brian and Alison are super nice people, made a fuss of our little dog, and we were lucky enough to meet their two dogs, who are very lovely. Can thoroughly recommend this perfect haven, if you want to get away from it all, and want peace and quiet, this is definitely the place to come. Hoping to return ourselves as soon as we can. Thankyou Brian and Alison

Quality CL

We completely endorse all the positive comments from previous reviewers. This is an immaculate CL which is a credit to the owners. The gardens and grounds are absolutely delightful. It is an awesome place to see the sky at night as so dark, so wonderful star spotting. There is a pleasant aspect over the far end of the site looking across a disused railway with pretty road bridge over it, hillside and trees. From reading the information of the site prior to arrival we thought access to Much Wenlock by foot/cycle was easy, and it maybe be considered so by some. Our opinion is that is it fine, but a bit challenging. By foot, as directed by Brian, it was a 2.7 mile walk with some steep hilly sections and not easy under foot. There had been a lot of rain so it was proper muddy in sections - definitely welly walk. It was a very pleasant walk but not one to nip into town for a drink or evening meal type walk. Unfortunately we did not find the road route into Much Wenlock much more inviting to try cycling. It is a B class road and can get busy with quite fast cars as well as big lorries. We are motorhomers, and prefer to pitch up and then access places by foot/cycle. It is doable from this site but needs a bit of effort which is fine if you are up for it. For caravaners with cars - excellent location. Our comments do not mean that this not a CL we would highly recommend as it is.

Lovely site.

I stayed here early December for a week to visit family & friends in Shropshire. Brian is so welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Immaculate site with electric and water to each pitch. Peaceful and ideally situated for me. Many thanks.

Immaculate CL

We stayed for a week over Christmas and received a friendly welcome from Brian and Alison. Lovely quiet site with serviced, spacious pitches, immaculately maintained and located in a beautiful part of the country. The metered electricity is charged at cost which keeps the basic fee very reasonable. Nice walking from the site, although unsurprisingly very muddy when we were there given the weather! Convenient for Much Wenlock (with a fantastic pie shop), Ironbridge, Bridgenorth and National Trust properties. A site to return to!

Perfect CL for peace and quiet

We just arrived home after a 6 day stay on this lovely CL. They have fully serviced gravel pitches, and the site is just lovely and tranquil. We only met Brian, but he was so nice and helpfully advised of dog walking directly from the site. This is approximately 3.5 miles across tracks and fields (you will need your wellies after rain). There are some lovely National Trust places for dog walking too, and lots of places to visit. We will definitely be back. A perfectly quiet getaway.

Such an honest owner

I endorse all the positive things said about this site. It is a gem, but I particularly wanted to commend the honesty of the owner. We became ill with Norovirus the day before we were supposed to go but didn't want to put off our holiday a day longer than we needed to, so we asked Brian to hold the booking for us and said we would pay for our unused nights when we arrived. In the event it took longer to recover than we realised and it was six nights later that we actually arrived. Brian only charged us for one of those unused nights as he had turned someone away that night. The rest he said the pitch was not needed. We felt this was extremely generous as he could have just taken the money. A very fair owner of a delightful site.

Perfect CL

Very friendly greeting , my first impression was how tidy and well kept the site is ,grass is short and is obviously collected as no grass anywhere to be trod in the van. Nicely situated for visiting local attractions ,in summary a first class cl I would have no hesitation in recommending,
