The room was lovely with everything you could possibly want including homemade biscuits! The bed was very comfy. The view from the balcony was fabulous. The hosts Chris and Diane were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had homemade cake and tea when we arrived and excellent breakfast every morning.

There wasn't really anything that we didn't like apart from negotiating the single track road to the property but we soon got used to it and as the road was very quiet we rarely met a car coming the other way!

Chris and Diane were both really friendly and welcoming, Chris brought us coffee, tea and Diane's homemade cake to our room after we arrived, there was everything you could want in the room and bathroom all to a high speck, the highlight was sitting out on the balcony the view was beautiful, looking over their chickens and watching wild rabbits and squirrels running around, it was so peaceful and relaxing.

This B & B is a rare find. The room was spacious, airy and the facilities were excellent, it being bright and clean and modern. Our hosts were very friendly and approachable and we enjoyed our chat at breakfast. The dining room for breakfast was spacious, and modern with comfortable chairs and the breakfast itself, was prepared with thoughtfulness and care and tailored to our individual needs. Excellent. Well done Chris and Diane. The location was peaceful which we appreciated.

The location is a little isolated and the approach roads are narrow. However, this might not necessarily be an issue for those that wish to spend time walking the locality. We were just passing through so we’re not able to explore.

I had a lovely overnight stay at The Old Smithy Bed and Breakfast this weekend. Really charming and friendly hosts, the room was luxurious, spacious, with lovely rural views, breakfast was amazing and the location in Shropshire was delightful.... I highly recommend this BNB. jx

It was perfect! I really enjoyed by overnight accommodation. So don't really have any comments about improving my stay. I would just recommend it as an excellent BNB.

We received a very warm welcome from our hosts Chris and Dianne, and what a peaceful location - The Old Smithy is perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. The room was spacious with plenty of storage, and was beautifully decorated, in keeping with the surrounding area. We will definitely be back soon! A word of caution - the roads in the area are narrow with quite a few potholes in places - so leave with plenty of time to travel.

The room was one of the biggest I have ever stayed in! And it included a balcony which was perfect on this warm summer evening. Also: The information booklet supplied in the room was so well put together: everything relevant and very clearly presented.

Restaurants etc were about 3 miles away. Not that I wanted anything other than good night's sleep. But future travellers may wish to plan their meal times accordingly

Our hosts were welcoming and friendly. Our room was very spacious as was the shower room. It was good to have two comfortable chairs in the room Lovely breakfast and a lovely dining room in which to eat. We enjoyed the company of Chris who prepared our breakfast.

Our room felt cold. The approach road (from the A49 of approx 3 miles) is narrow.
