Reviews consistently mention the cottage being very clean and tidy, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness that guests are pleased with.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful views, and proximity to walking trails and local pubs, making it an excellent spot for nature lovers and walkers.
The majority of guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the cosy bed and living space. However, a few mention issues with temperature control and noise from the heating system.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the well-equipped kitchen and garden area. Some guests point out maintenance issues like a running toilet cistern and missing dishwasher knob, which slightly lower the score.
While guests appreciate the overall experience, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so a score cannot be given in this category.

We had to turn fridge up high as it wasn't keeping things cool.. Overall disappointed as when we stayed 3/4 years ago we found it comfortable but guess as you age you notice there things, we love the cottage itself and the owner Sarah is very helpful.

The cottage is attached to the owners house and Sarah was next door should you need anything. Can recommend walks on the Long Mynd, the Stiperstones and Caer Caradoc. Cottage had everything you would need for a comfortable stay with lovely views from the bedroom windows. 2 good pubs in little Stretton a 15 minute walk away and lovely cafes in Church Stretton. Regular bus service from Little Stretton to Ludlow and Shrewsbury both lovely places to visit with loads of history.
