An excellent overnight stay, while walking the Offa’s Dyke path. Cold beers on arrival, in the sun . A delicious beef bourguigon dinner with fabulous vegetables. And sticky date pudding! Breakfast was excellent too. So tasty. We had a lovely large room, so quiet. Sheila was the best host. Lovely to meet her and Tony. They have a fabulous home, glad they share with travellers. Highly recommend!

Four of us spent a night here while walking a section of Offa’s Dyke and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Sheila picked us up in Montgomery and took us to her place. After we cleaned up she served us a hearty delicious meal and had wine and beer to choose from. The rooms were clean quiet and well appointed. I was suffering from a cold and Sheila went out of her way to help me feel more comfortable. Not up to walking the next day I rode with Sheila’s husband Rob while he transported our luggage. I realized I had forgotten my camera and Rob called Sheila and assured me they would get it to me. Later that day Sheila made an extra trip to bring the camera to me! Thank you both! These are wonderful people who genuinely care about making your stay comfortable. Highly Recommended!! Gary

Super place to stay after a long distance on Offa's Dyke! Shirley rescued us on our way there as one of us had a knee injury. Her warm welcome, excellent evening meal and cosy, warm house are unique. Thanks again!!

A warm and friendly welcome after a long day's walk on the hardest section of the 177 mile Offa's Dyke path. Spacious, comfortable room, delicious dinner and breakfast. Lovely enjoyable stay.

Stayed at 'Shirley Heights' on the eighth day of my 'Offas Dyke' trail hike. This fabulous accommodation is about a half mile from the trail in a very quiet country location. Sheila is the perfect host providing exquisite accommodation, a beautiful evening meal, an early breakfast and packed lunch, another fabulous stopover on this fantastic trail. Can highly recommend.

Very welcoming host on private property. Caters for Offa's Dyke walkers in tents or in B&B. Pre-booking required. Choice of having home cooked eve meal. Ours was very good and two courses. Drinks other than tea/coffee may be extra. Recommend. WiFi did not work for me but is available. Device charging may be possible. Buildings need finishing. Good shower.

My wife and I stayed at Shirley Heights for one night while on our walking holiday doing the Offa's Dyke Path. The accommodations were very comfortable. Sheila, the hostess, was most personable, thoughtful, generous and friendly. Her place was most relaxing. The evening meal and packed lunches were great. We had a wonderful stay with Sheila and would recommend staying at Shirley Heights without any hesitation!
