Great week at Abbots retreat
A group of seven of us spent a week in this spacious beautiful secluded house in peaceful Norbury village. Our grandchildren loved the garden and the modern Bbq was well received and used.
The facilities were first rate, with comfortable large beds and modern TV and kitchen.
I would recommend this lovely house to anyone who wants a holiday in the countryside.
The host Mr Abbott was helpful and gives good advice on walks, pubs and places to visit should you require it.
A great holiday

Idyllic, peaceful family retreat
We had a truly wonderful week long stay at Abbott's Retreat during February half-term. This is a charming rural idyll set on a slight hill with postcard perfect views to the historic church, pretty cottages and hills beyond. Despite there being six of us (including children, grandparents and our dog) there was plenty of room for us to spread out in the very generously proportioned lounge/dining room. The bedrooms and beds were super comfortable and cosy (yet also spacious) - looking out onto woodland and undulating countryside; it was a delight to observe pheasants wondering around the garden and sometimes horses in the field beyond. The kitchen, like the rest of the property, is beautifully appointed - the owners really have thought of absolutely everything you might need. There were plenty of dog-friendly pubs/restaurants around, serving amazing home-cooked food. We had some wonderful trips out to Bishops Castle, stunning Ludlow and Shrewsbury - but it was coming back to the cottage and firing up the log burner that we all looked forward to each day. The property had some amazing walks, right from the front door, with breathtaking views - although we did keep our dog on a lead due to the abundance of sheep. Be aware that the gardens are not enclosed so not ideal for a dog - but we got around this by taking a very long puppy training lead which we tethered to a chair so he could potter in the garden in safety. Our only niggle concerned the water pressure - the showers were quite weak, but there seems to be a knack to them and we got used to it. Overall, it's a stunning, spotlessly clean property in a beautiful, peaceful location. We loved every minute and all felt 10 years younger by the time we got home!
