  • "This charming cottage is excellently maintained and was spotlessly clean."

    A peaceful and very comfortable base to explore a lovely part of Shropshire. The owners are friendly and helpful. We thoroughly recommend a stay here.

  • "This is our third stay to stone house cottage."

    It's set in rolling countryside so is blissfully quiet during the nights. The owners rob and Leslie are genuinely welcoming and love to have a chat. The cottage is well maintained and and all you could need. If your after a peaceful and relaxing country cottage then stone House cottage is for you. We've stayed in another house in caynham as well but still come back here. There's loads of historic places around to visit and the park and ride into ludlow is at the bottom of the road 5 minutes away. We will be back next year.

    Fab communication from owners before we arrived to confirm items for allergies. Peaceful, rural location. Dining table chairs were firm, but it encouraged you to move to the sofa. Would have enjoyed the garden more to watch all the birds if there was a comfy seat there. Definitely recommend

    Great communication from host's. Everything we needed, kitchen had everything you could want and welcome cake and wine was much appreciated. Log burner was an added bonus and replenishing our logs was no trouble. So peaceful, and no light pollution at night so had a great night's sleep.

  • "This is an absolutely delightful cottage on a working farm in lovely very private rural location yet only a couple of miles from beautiful Ludlow (not really walkable though as there is no verge or pavement on the narrow road leading to it) with a petrol station and a supermarket on the way."

    The area is truly stunning with many walks, drives and places to visit within easy reach. The cottage is beautifully finished inside and all fittings and floorings are high quality. The kitchen is very well equipped, there is a good shower in the bathroom with plenty of hot water and the beds are super comfy. All in all simply idyllic!

    The wood burner was an added bonus on a cold evening. There was plenty of room for the four of us and the children loved the games (and Pippa the dog) to play with. Location is excellent with Ludlow round the corner and Wyre forest, Croft Castle and Carding Mill Valley a short drive away. Highly recommend.

  • "Stone Cottage is full of personality: a 16 Century cottage with exposed beams, a bread oven (no longer in use) and a wood burner."

    It is in the countryside, on a working farm. The windows face away from the farmhouse, ensuring privacy, but the owners are on the spot and we found them most helpful about queries. The floors are flagged downstairs and polished wood upstairs, so slippers are strongly recommended! There is an excellent 'batterie de cuisine'. So nice to stay in a cottage where it is assumed that you may want to COOK, and that provides scales, mixing bowls, a grater, baking dishes saucepans etc accordingly! We stayed in December and used the wood burner: it is extremely effective and not only heats the ground floor but warms the upstairs too. The cottage is about 4 miles from Ludlow by country roads. Ludlow (if you are not familiar with it) is a charming market town with a Norman castle, a 12th Century church and a wealth of half-timbered buildings. It provides good provision shopping and places to eat out, whether morning coffee or formal dining. The only slight problem we had was that our backs (which are no longer young) did not get on very well with the beds! The bedrooms themselves are snug and well-appointed.

  • "The accommodation at Stone House is first class - roomy, comfortable, and extremely clean."

    It offers a fully equipped kitchen with everything one needs to prepare your meals if one decides to stay in for the evening. Ludlow is easily reached in just 5 or 10 minutes by car and there are a number of National Trust properties close by for those that want a little bit of culture. All in all a very enjoyable place to spend a few days. Both my wife and I would strongly recommend it.

    Small outdoor seating area and parking right outside. Easy trip into Ludlow for shops, pubs and restaurants. Owner was very friendly and happy to chat about the local area. Warm and cosy from the central heating. There’s a wood burner too but we didn’t need it. Everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. The bathroom is downstairs which wasn’t a problem for us. The wifi wasn’t very reliable some days but I know the owner has had problems with his own too and has had people out to try to fix it. Great area and lots of things to visit. Would definitely recommend.

    The old house has been restored sympathetically, and to a very high standard, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay in this lovely area. The house is very clean, comfortable, and warm with the added bonus of a cosy log burner, along with a generous basket of logs. I suppose the greatest test of a property is to ask yourself the question, would we stay at Stone House again ? The answer is a defenite yes.

There is a portable heater available which can be used in the bathroom if needed. The stairs are not steep.

About the location

CAYNHAM

Ludlow 3 miles; Church Stretton 15 miles.

This historic, picturesque village lies in the heart of the beautiful South Shropshire countryside and is set amidst renowned scenic walking and cycling country. The village's outstanding landmark is Caynham Camp, a huge Bronze Age/Iron Age earthwork which covers a site of eight acres at the summit, from which wonderful views can be enjoyed. Only 3 miles away is Ludlow, whose medieval street pattern remains almost intact, and provides a fascinating backdrop for the town's regular street markets, held in the shadow of the castle. Ludlow is renowned for its shopping, and has several Michelin-starred restaurants, as well as numerous tea-shops, pubs and inns. Below the 900 year old castle, the Linney Riverside Park offers boats for hire, a putting green and children's play area. Within easy reach of Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Hereford, as well as popular attractions such as Ironbridge Gorge, Severn Valley Railway, Berrington Hall and Cardingmill Valley, Ludlow is a superb destination for a relaxing break.
