CARDINGTON NEAR CHURCH STRETTON

Church Stretton 7 miles; Much Wenlock 7 miles.

The pretty village of Cardington lies amongst the rolling hills of the South Shropshire countryside. Cardington boasts the oldest pub in Shropshire - The Royal Oak, mentioned in the Domesday Book! Its rural situation is ideal for sightseeing, with miles of country walks in all directions, not to mention the beautiful Shropshire hills - a draw for walkers, riders and nature lovers alike! A wealth of birdlife (including buzzards, woodpeckers and ravens) has its home here. Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, Severn Valley Steam Railway, Stokesay Castle, Shrewsbury, Ludlow and the Ironbridge Gorge, with its 10 museums, are each less than 15 miles away.

Previous Visitors' Comments
Peaceful location. Very cosy and comfortable cottage. We loved the comfortable settee in the living area. The jacuzzi bath was lovely after a days walking in the hills, and really appreciated.

There was nothing more we could have wanted. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, warm and cosy and of a very high standard. We would definitely return another time as it was the best property we've stayed in and we will certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Modern, clean and practical holiday home. Suitable for young families, gates to the property provide security. Games room- great for older children. Central for all Shropshire visitors.

The living room area was particularly cosy with the log burner and plentiful supply of logs. The owners were particularly helpful, kind and friendly. Walks from the door were lovely and there is a huge amount of space for car parking. The kitchen was of a very high standard and we had no problems preparing Christmas lunch for 5.

This is one of the nicest places we've stayed in. The whole cottage was wonderfully presented and even more cosy than we had hoped for. We can't wait to go back!

This was a good central base for our Shropshire walking holiday. The cottage was so warm and snug that we did not even get to use the log burning stove which was a shame!
