Shepherds Cottage in Church Stretton is highly praised for its stunning location with breathtaking views and direct access to walks. Guests find it warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a friendly and helpful owner. The property is described as clean, well-equipped, and dog-friendly, offering a peaceful and relaxing stay. Some minor issues with kitchen utensils and parking are noted, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy. However, there are isolated comments about kitchen utensils appearing well-used and not clean, and a mention of finding woodworm beetles in a bedroom. These seem to be exceptions in the context of otherwise positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its amazing views, peacefulness, and proximity to walking paths and the town. The ability to start great walks right from the front door and the short distance to local amenities contribute to a high score.
Guests find the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a newly modernised bathroom adding to the comfort. The property is described as homely, with a snug living room and comfortable beds. The absence of Wi-Fi was noted by a few, but it did not significantly impact the comfort level for most guests.
The cottage is well-equipped for a pleasant stay, with a modern bathroom and necessary appliances. However, there are remarks about the kitchen being tiny, an old washing machine, and the absence of Wi-Fi. The garden maintenance and a musty smell in the kitchen cupboard are also mentioned, suggesting room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Church Stretton 0.5 miles. A charming detached cottage in a superb elevated position, half a mile from the popular village of Church Stretton, with its many pubs and tea rooms and excellent antiques centre. Furnished in a traditional style, the cottage offers cosy and comfortable accommodation with a pretty main bedroom with exposed beams and a cosy living area with exposed beams and lovely views over Church Stretton. The cottage is in a fantastic location at the foot of the Long Mynd, on a bridle path to Carding Mill Valley and boasts truly unique views, whilst being ideally placed for taking advantage of the superb walks the area is famous for. Less than half a mile from the amenities of Church Stretton and within easy touring distance of Shropshire's numerous attractions, Shepherds Cottage is an ideal base for a break in a wonderful location at any time of year.
Due to the alpine-like hills and valleys which surround the village, Church Stretton has been christened âLittle Switzerland' and retains the feel of a spa town to this day, the natural springs providing Stretton mineral water. Nestling below the rugged beauty of Long Mynd, Church Stretton is the first town in Shropshire to achieve the âWalkers Welcome' status, also holding its own Walking Festival in June. Nearby, the National Trust operates a shuttle-bus service from the local railway station, offering the beauty of the panorama from the top of Long Mynd without the exertion! The hills are literally alive with the sound of music each year at the Church Stretton and South Shropshire Arts Festival which attracts musicians and artists from across the country.
