Getting Around:

Market Drayton is easily accessible via public transport, with links to the town just a short walk from the property, placing you close to charming canal walks and local amenities. While the town offers plenty to explore on foot, we recommend having a car to fully experience the surrounding areas, including nearby historic sites, nature trails, and picturesque countryside villages that are just a short drive away.



Other Things to Note:

This property does not have a TV but instead features a mini projector and screen, which can be used to connect to Netflix/YouTube etc.

As the site is solar powered, we recommend minimising energy usage whilst at the cabin, as excessive use could result in power failure to the whole site.
