Owner's perspective - We have enjoyed living in Marston Montgomery for almost 10 happy years. Holly Lodge is a cosy cottage, right in the heart of this pretty village with views over to the Church. We love our garden, it�s a bit of a sun trap and a home for our chickens, birds, bees and of course us too! One of our favourite things to do is walk our dog Jasper and there are so many countryside walks right from our front door, plus we have a welcoming and dog friendly local pub just a stones throw away!
