Brownhill House

The garden at Brownhill House is open to the public through the National Garden Scheme, and it's full of different flowers and vegetables. Part of it climbs a 45-degree slope in planted layers, with a clear amount of careful, artistic work behind it. The cottage sits beside the River Perry in Shropshire, and the garden is one of its real delights. Inside, the layout makes the cottage feel tidy, clean, cosy, warm and homely. There are plenty of books in the sitting room and bedroom for guests to browse. My single room was spacious and spotless, and the bed was extremely comfortable, just what I needed after several hours of driving. Yoland and Roger were friendly and made me feel at ease. Yoland told me about local community activities and their involvement. They're both bibliophiles and good writers, producing articles and booklets about local landscapes and cultural history. They also contribute to the community through gardening presentations and collectible classic car shows. Breakfast was a delicious English meal, planned and prepared by Yoland, with plenty of choice. The homemade damson plum juice was refreshing and tasty. Before I left after breakfast, she kindly packed me raspberry muffins she'd baked and an apple from their garden. Both were absolutely delicious. Thanks 🙏. I've stayed at many B&Bs, and this is one of the best. I'd highly recommend it for countryside quiet, friendly company and a relaxing stay. Yoland mentioned that 30 families along the road share the postcode, so it's best to look at a picture of the house before driving there 😀👍. Wei-Jun Bournemouth
