The Owls House comes ready for a self-catering stay with essentials covered—electricity, wi-fi, bed linen and towels are all included. The kitchen is properly fitted out with electric oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, so you can cook as much or as little as you like. Three bedrooms, all with kingsize beds, sleep six comfortably. Downstairs there's a bedroom with ensuite shower, a main bathroom with bath and shower, and on the first floor two further bedrooms with natural light from Juliet balconies. The ground floor is open-plan, with living space, dining area and kitchen flowing together, plus a wood-burning stove and smart TV.
Outside, there's a private courtyard with seating and a gas barbecue, a decked area with an eight-person hot tub, and a large lawned garden (shared with the owner's chickens). A hose and muck-off area are useful for bikes and muddy boots, and the bike store keeps cycles secure. Private parking accommodates three cars. The cottage sits about a mile from Much Wenlock's market town and 2.5 miles from Ironbridge, in quiet countryside good for walking and exploring Shropshire. One well-behaved dog is welcome. No smoking.

Very disappointed on arrival - expected a dog friendly enclosed garden but what we got was an unfenced, unsafe garden and on questioning why it’s advertised as enclosed all I got was attitude. The garden is shared with owner who keeps chickens, has a dog and a cat - it would be a good idea to let people know that! The house is tired and in need of attention inside and out, also a good clean to get rid of cobwebs in the bathrooms and food behind the curtains! The kitchen is not as well equipped as it could be, there is only one cereal bowl, the fridge is too small for 6 people. The beds are advertised as king size but are just doubles. The tap in the bathroom wouldn’t stop dripping, the water temperature is extremely hard to regulate. The welcome pack we received did not include sausages and bacon as advertised. The photos on all the websites for this property are several years old as it doesn’t look anywhere near as nice as they show. Nice hot tub though. I originally gave this a 3 star on Cottages.com but after the unprofessional and rude response to my review I decided to downgrade it.

Brilliant self catering accommodation. Looks absolutely gorgeous, especially in Autumn. Three bedrooms, kitchen diner and living room. Hot tub and massive garden at the rear. Walking distance from Much Wenlock too, the hill looks steep but it's not too bad at all
