The rural village of Eaton-under-Heywood lies under both the famous Wenlock Edge and the woods that run along it, and is surrounded by scenic countryside. From the village, the Jacob's Ladder path leads straight up the Edge, providing lovely walks. Nearby is the market town of Church Stretton, which lies in the heart of south Shropshire. It is set amid striking scenery and has often been described as "Little Switzerland". The town is the main centre for Shropshire's hill country and home to a variety of tearooms, pubs and specialist shops. Other local attractions include walks on the Long Mynd, the Acton Scott Working Farm as seen on TV, and Stokesay Castle. The historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, Much Wenlock and Bishops Castle are only a short journey away.

The Stables opposite provided lovely sights & activity to watch. Chickens, ducks, geese, peacocks added to the beautiful nature. Wellies are a great thing to pack. Lovely walks from the cottage. Excellent parking. Easy check in via key safe & responsive owners to any issues. Although âdog friendlyâ there was no dog smell or evidence until we used the hooverâ¦we emptied it as it was left full & a quick hoover completely filled it again - we are pet free. Therefore cleanliness looked great, until we used the hoover. A delicious packet of Shrewsbury biscuits was on the table for our arrival. We took all condiments with us & all containers were empty. Lovely open plan downstairs. 2 spacious bedrooms, each with 1 double & 1 single bed, one with ensuite shower, the other has a lovely big bath with no shower but it is not ensuite. Plenty of toilet rolls & towels were available. Heating is excellent and the cottage is lovely & warm. Downstairs toilet is a great bonus. We struggled with the 2 very low & deep sofas but others have commented on their comfort. Thank you for a relaxing break in lovely area.

So enjoyable being able to watch the busyness of the stables and explore the gardens and woods. Liz is a really nice lady and everyone was so friendly. Hope we can make it back real soon. Gogfrey, Carolyn and Matthew.
