The perfect spot

We found Goosepond to be a really lovely place for two people. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, there was a welcome pack of bread, milk, eggs, butter and cake, and a friendly and helpful welcome from the owner Ellie. The location was just perfect for us, being conveniently situated for all the great places there are to explore in Shropshire.
