19 years ago we moved into Puddle Duck Cottage on a glorious sunny day and it just so happened to be the annual village music festival weekend, such a lovely atmosphere and we’ve always felt it held a “holiday feel” 365 days a year.

We have had the absolute pleasure of wonderful neighbours, some who have become dear friends over the years. Sadly some have passed away but are often in our thoughts.

We are immensely proud of our achievements to own all 3 cottages. Many friends, family and guests have walked through our doors, always to find a home full of love and the warmest of welcomes.

Thank you to everyone for being part of our memories and our success too.

Love Son, Daz and Bertie

Hip Hip Hooray it’s our 10th birthday!

Here at Puddle Duck Cottages we are celebrating our 10th birthday this weekend of welcoming guests to our multi award winning holiday cottages and it’s been so rewarding to see the business grow each year and to welcome back so many regular guests over the years.

As a small independent business owner, it was my passion from the start that our guests have an enjoyable stay with us, allowing them to spend quality time with friends and family and to help create special memories. I’m proud that we can provide luxury accommodation along with the extra special touches that our guests love us for; a peaceful riverside location with amazing bird song and wildlife, and a warm welcome always awaits. Our little bit of Shropshire heaven is a delight to share.

From managing the booking enquiries, housekeeping, and greeting the guests, with of course help from our chief meeter and greeter Bertie, it allows me to offer that personal touch when you book a stay with us.

I’m a firm believer that good customer service is paramount to any successful business, which in turn rewards us with continuous 5-star reviews, recommendations and repeat bookings.

Our continued success is all down to a great team effort from the wonderful housekeepers and gardeners and of course our wonderful guests for their continued support over the years, so I’d like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that has been part of our journey so far here at Puddle Duck Cottages.

I look forward to welcoming old and new friends for many more years to come.

So what a week it’s been here at Puddle Duck Cottages for wild life, firstly we spotted a beautiful stag 🦌 at the bottom of the garden late at night (sadly no phone at hand to capture photo) then yesterday while we were busy doing the turnarounds in between guests departing and arriving we spotted this majestic buzzard trying to hitch a ride on the beaglebus 🚌 👀 🦅

So who fancies a Winter Warmer Weekend stay with us at Puddle Duck Cottages.

We can provide the hot chocolate, marshmallows, popcorn and movies for a cosy night in front of the telly and a fire pack for your log burner so you can snuggle up by the fireplace, sip hot cocoa on a comfy sofa, and after a day’s exploring bubble bath for a soak in a luxurious hot bath.

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the beauty of winter with a cosy cottage retreat. From crackling fires and hearty comfort food, a winter break in one of our cottages promises a peaceful and memorable getaway.

Whether it's a romantic getaway for two or a family gathering, a stay at our cottages provides the space to share laughter in a cosy living room, and create lasting memories.

For those who want a totally relaxing weekend stay we have a fantastic Indian restaurant that delivers and an Italian restaurant that do take away, not forgetting the most amazing Sunday lunch at a nearby pub.
