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 well-equipped, though some noted the kitchen and garden could use updates. The absence of Wi-Fi is occasionally mentioned, but the peaceful environment and friendly owner often compensate. Parking can be challenging, but the property's charm and scenery make it a favourite for many repeat visitors.
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with a few isolated comments about kitchen utensils appearing well-used and some minor issues like a musty smell in the kitchen. However, the majority of reviews do not raise cleanliness as a concern, indicating a high level of satisfaction in this area.
The location receives high acclaim for its beautiful views, proximity to walking trails, and the peacefulness of the surrounding area. The convenience of being within walking distance to town amenities while being the last house before the countryside is frequently appreciated.
Guests find the cottage cosy and warm, with comfortable beds and a homely atmosphere. Some mention the property being basic but adequate, and the newly modernised bathroom is a plus. The comfort of the cottage contributes significantly to the enjoyment of the stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and a secure garden for dogs. However, there are comments about the kitchen being small and the washing machine being old. The lack of Wi-Fi is noted, but it does not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.

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 ‘Little 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 ‘Walkers 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.
