"This cottage is in a great location. You can walk from the door into the surrounding countryside and also 5 minutes takes you into the town where you have all the shops and eateries you need. Also close to train and bus connections to take you further afield like Hereford, Ludlow and Shrewsbury so you can leave the car at home if you like. A very well equipped cottage for six people with good quality furnishings and kitchenware. Cosy, warm and very spacious. Easy parking and friendly neighbours too. It is a home from home and we thoroughly enjoyed our almost 3 week stay there. Almost sad to leave!"

"The cottage was excellent and just how it looked in the pictures. We will definitely go there again. The location was brilliant and just a few yards in to town, but quiet as on a private road. Lots to see and do in a very pleasant part of the country"

"The cottage is situated on a lovely private road with beautiful flowering shrubs and trees with very melodic birdsong. The property is very accessible for shops, restaurants and pubs but also lanes that lead directly to hills and woods. It was a comfortable, large and well equipped cottage. Everyone we met in the town were friendly and always willing to stop and chat."

"Stayed for one week on walking and sightseeing holiday. Beautiful cottage and situation. We were so lucky to have the best week of weather this year. The cottage is very spacious and great for a larger family with everything you would require. Welcome goodies awaited us on arrival, Shrewsbury biscuits and Bara Brith . Plenty of short circular walks, strolls in the nearby wood, or longer hill rambles, your choice. Market town with every shop, pub or restaurant that you could possibly want. Very handy for visiting one way Ludlow by train or car and Shrewsbury the other. We liked Ludlow the best."

"This cottage is well equipped to a high standard. It is clean and comfortable and warm. Owners are friendly and made us feel welcome. The location is very central. A 5 minute walk takes one to the amenities of Church Stretton and a 10 minute walk into the valleys of the Long Mynd from where there are many miles of happy walking. Also central for public transport being only 10 minutes walk from the station."

"Stayed in the cottage for two weeks with my wife and 3 friends for a walking holiday in Shropshire. The cottage photos are slightly misleading in that the cottage is double fronted so we got twice the accommodation we were expecting. Beautiful, charming old cottage with more than enough space for 5 of us to amble around without getting in each other's way .Large kitchen, large living room/dining room, ample bedroom space - we loved it. Parking for 2 cars and a paved area out front with a table and chairs - perfect for a coffee ( or a G and T ) on returning "home" after a walk. in the hills. I must mention the surrounding area which is great for walking - as easy or as difficult as you like. We ran out of time to do all the walks we wanted, so plans are afoot to return. The holiday weather was virtually unbroken sunshine for two weeks. The owners popped in and made themselves known to us, kindly giving contact details in the event of problems and the neighbours were very sociable and kind. Fabulous fortnight."

"We stayed in East Cottage as a base for a walking holiday. Having stayed in Church Stretton in the past we knew this would be a good location and were not disappointed. What we had not expected was just how good the cottage would be - facilities were great with everything we could have asked for, plenty of space and spotlessly clean. It would be really hard to find fault with the cottage - perhaps the only thing I would have changed was that the beds were rather soft for me but imagine others would find them perfect."

"We stayed in this cottage for one week & loved it - it has great character. Although it is old, it nonetheless is very spacious with a large living room with a dining table, kitchen complete with breakfast area & 3 large bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities. It is situated in a lovely area with great views to the hills. Entry on arrival was by prior arrangement with the owners who met us & were very helpful. There is a large 'boot room' adjoining the kitchen so is perfect for walkers. It is ideally placed for walking the hills around Church Stretton, with the Long Mynd virtually at the back door. There is off-road parking for 2 cars. The main town is only 5 minutes walk away where there are shops, restaurants & pubs etc. Church Stretton itself is also ideally located for visiting Ludlow or Shrewbury (both can be reached by train in about 15 - 20 mins), Much Wenlock (about 20 mins by car) & Ironbridge (about 30 mins by car). We visited all of these & they are definitely worth making time to see if you can. We would certainly stay at East Cottage again."
