A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

"The location was excellent, being right beside the Llangollen Canal and a few steps from the Chirk Aqueduct and tunnel. There were plenty of narrow boats to watch. The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped and the outside areas were very good with more than enough seating and a pleasant garden. There are many places to visit within half an hours drive away and plenty of walks to do. The owner of the property was very friendly. All in all a great holiday!"

"We loved the location of this cottage. The position next to the canal with narrow boats passing, only a few yards from the lovely aquaduct with viaduct behind, lovely hills and countryside to explore on our bikes and on foot. Chirk castle is a pleasant walk away and Chirk itself with quirky shops, tea shops and restaurants a short walk away. Chirk station is very close and convenient for Chester, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham by road and rail. The owner was very welcoming. We had a lovely peaceful holiday and would be back at half term if it weren't already booked."
