New Inn Cottage, Cardington

"A pretty cottage in a lovely village. Nice welcome hamper though the milk was well past its date. It was a bit dusty and cobwebby, as if it hadn’t been cleaned for a few weeks. As others mentioned in the visitor book the sofa is really uncomfortable."

"Very welcoming with the log burner lit before our arrival. Access very easy and a friendly village. We enjoyed amazing walks from the front door - the surrounding countryside is wonderful. We enjoyed meals in the village pub - when we could be persuaded to leave the Aga. Limitless hot water, a great shower and a comfortable bed. Blissfully rural - no street lights and the nights so quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay."

"Beautifully renovated cottage in a stunning village I surrounded by the breathtaking Shropshire hills."

"The cottage was clean and we loved the upstairs. Not keen on Agas but wouldn’t mark anyone down for that. The welcome pack wasn’t as plentiful as some we’ve had, but ok. What we were unhappy about was being left biscuits that were already a month out of date. Also, there was very little information about eg walks, places to visit, the village pub, ie essential to book for food. Lovely village."

"A charming property in a lovley village!"

"Everything just as promised in such a beautiful bowl of hills and valleys"

"Good facilities in a lovely cottage in a quiet and beautiful Shropshire village."

"Negatives: Downstairs would benefit from blinds to give privacy, sofa pretty uncomfortable, TV received no signal apart from BBC, windows not cleaned Positives: Well equipped kitchen, lovely bedroom area - spacious and lots of storage, well fitted modern shower room, lovely location"

"Beautifully presented and equipped cottage with an excellent welcome pack. Comfy bed with quality bed linen in a spacious, pretty bedroom. First class shower in a spotless shower room. The Aga cooker meant wet walking clothes dried quickly and cooked our porridge overnight. Big squashy sofa for sitting by woodburner or watching TV. The village is beautiful - visit the church, admire the various old cottages and buy fresh eggs from the roadside. Big advantage is being able to start walks from your front door.Villlage pub does meals and good ale and cider."

"Beautiful property, lovely and warming, so homely. Great location so nice to have a fire."

"We have already spoken to Elizabeth from rurals and voiced our thoughts about the problems in the cottage,hopefully things will now improve in both cottages"

"too many pestering e.mails!!!"

"Very nice little cottage, very peaceful, great location."

"Sweet little cottage with lots of character in a lovely, tranquil village. Parking only a short distance away. Lots of walking options from the village. Spectacular walks a short drive away - the Long Mynd and NT centre. Didn't try the pub but we would do if we stayed again. Nearby Church Stratton had supermarket etc."

"Nice decor. Very rural setting. Pics of outdoor seating were exact but broken. Very hot weather and the agar was on all the time making the cottage even warmer. The sofa was well past it's best making it uncomfortable. Very clean. Amenities good."

"The Rural Retreats site shows the 'symbol' that there is 'Parking On Site', this is not correct, you will need to park in the Village Hall Car Park which is down the road and is certainly not on site. Also the Rural Retreats site shows the symbol that there is no WiFi, however WiFi is available. The sofa in this cottage is very uncomfortable, suitable for dogs / cats only. It is very low and is 'sagging' therefore is difficult to get up out of for anyone with back or leg problems. The electric AGA is on all the time making very hot in the cottage, especially at night, but great in the Winter months, but not idea for the Summer months."

"Excellent facilities in beautiful rural location."

"We feel that future visitors should be aware that the bathroom does not have a door, just a curtain to pull across, so in effect it is part of the bedroom. Also it is likely that the owner will ask you to park in the village hall car park, thus parking nearby and not actually at the property."

"It was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Very well refurbished. I only have a few (slightly) negative comments. It's obvious that this is a new acquisition for Rural Retreats. The usual green folder was missing which meant we didn't have full instructions for things like how to deal with the rubbish and tips for local things to do, doctors etc. We would normally expect a couple of dishwasher tabs to see us through the first day. The cheese we were left was not in the fridge and had dried out. The cottage wasn't quite as clean as we are used to. There were plenty of cobwebs (windowsills and sofa), tablecloths weren't clean (dining and bedside), washing up liquid bottle was leaking everywhere; but these are all really small things. One of the outside chairs has seen better days and is worryingly wonky when you've had knee surgery. And the parking wasn't clear. There was a large 4x4 parked close to the cottage and we weren't sure where we were supposed to go. But overall it was fine and we had a lovely stay."
