“We had a lovely short break at Stable End the location was peaceful but with a wide variety of places to explore on our doorstep.”

The accommodation was very comfortable and clean and well equipped. We will definitely return for a longer stay.

“Nothing that you should be aware of.”

We were highly delighted with the friendliest people /owners and found the cottage everything we liked, home from home. We have used Sykes a lot and have never been let down, so thank you very much for that. Highly recommended.

“The cottage was so clean and tidy was perfect!”
Mr Housden December 2018

“The cottage was well equipped and the owners were welcoming, mince pies and a bottle of Prosecco for New Year.”

If you want to get away from the mayhem of the real world this is the place. No phone signal, no Wi-Fi unless you go to the railway carriage (sic) in the garden. Plenty of walks across beautiful countryside. Two miles to the nearest pub, but a steep hill coming back, so not for the faint-hearted! Would love to go back.
Mr Dean September 2018

“Cottage was great, clean and very comfy.”

Met our needs as a family with a small baby. Well located for walks and about 30-45 mins from places like ludlow and shrewsbury. Only small issue was that there was a planned power cut while were there that we weren't told about before and we had bought food for the week in the fridge and freezer. All was ok though and apart from this would thoroughly recommend!
Mr Sloss September 2018

“The location is ideal for not too strenuous walks over the shropshire hills, very peaceful, comfortable and spotlessly clean.”

Sam and June are very friendly and have provided lots of information on local walks etc, some from the door. There are several places to eat not too far afield and a short drive to villages such as Bishops Castle for panoramic views on walks over the hills.
Mr Ridge September 2018

“The accommodation was absolutely perfect, spotlessley clean and very well equipped .”

Beautifully furnished and very comfortable, Sam and June have done a fantastic job transforming this barn conversion to its present state. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here for a holiday, there is so much to do and see and the surrounding countryside views are wonderful. If you needed information on where to visit or drink/eat, Sam and June were very helpful. Staying here guarantees total peace and quiet, the perfect 'getaway from it all' break.
Mrs Worsnop August 2018

“Such a peaceful location, really relaxing.”

Plenty of literature about places to visit and walks. Ideal for a holiday away from everything.
Miss Alnwick June 2018

“It was really relaxing and the peace and quiet was wonderful !”

Good jump off point for bike rides and close to lovely places such as Ludlow and Hereford. The glorious weather added to the holiday....barbecues every night and a nice shady patio to sit out on until the sun went down.

“charming through and through”

Loved everything about our holiday, the cottage was charming, well equipped with everything you could wish for – a real home from home. Shropshire is stunning, fantastic walking, lovely villages and plenty to do, lots of market towns to visit, and iron bridge worth visiting. The lady who welcomed us was friendly and approachable and the welcome cake / cider was a nice touch. Plenty of room for parking and walks from the doorstep. Shropshire is stunning and walking is definitely the best way to appreciate the scenery – the choice is limitless. You will need at least a week to visit the area. Noticed some reviewers mention the skinny roads near the property, which i feel was a bit of an exaggeration as the roads are so quiet and it is part of the charm. If you are wanting to avoid the skinny roads simply turn right out of the property it is only a short distance before reaching wider roads – which will lead to anywhere you want to go ( if you turn left from the property you will be on thin roads for some time without meeting a main road).

“This should set the standard!”

We had a wonderful week in Bucknell, the cottage was perfect & surely stes the standard by which others should be judged! The one regret was that we were involved in a very busy music course at Bedstone so didn't have as much time to enjoy the cottage as we would have wished.

“Lovely Christmas Break”

A great property for a romantic stay in a beautiful location.

“Certainly miles from anywhere”

The property was very well presented, very clean. The down side for us was that it was much farther away from things than we had realised and was on a very narrow country lane where if another vehicle was coming towards you then you had to reverse down the hill to the bottom of the lane as there were no passing places. We had to do a lot of driving to get to places to eat and visit but maybe this was just us not realising that it was so far out of the way. It certainly was quiet, no internet or mobile phone connection which was not a huge problem, there is a land line phone on site but we could not find the number of the restaurant we wanted to call in the yellow pages. The owners provide a huge amount of leaflets and information which is very useful. Shops for provisions are some distance away although if you do go into Knighton then go to Harry Tuffins supermarket - they have everything you could ever want - and I do mean everything. Their bacon is extremely good my husband tells me. The area is great for walking if the weather is kind to you and there are plenty of attractions to visit if you don't mind the drive.

“Peaceful and relaxing”

We had a great time at Stable End. The cottage is extremely well equipped and the location very peaceful with stunning scenery. There is plenty to do in the local area from exploring Shrewsbury to walking and visiting Stokesay Castle, Much Wenlock and the Ludlow Food Centre - its a great area. I would recommend this cottage to couples who enjoy a quiet relaxing holiday - and don't mind a slightly unusual lane when driving to the property!

“An excellent base for a very relaxing break.”

Very good - the lane to and from the property is very interesting!
A FlipKey verified reviewer August 2011

“Peaceful”

Stable End is located on a single track road with one passing place. That said we were lucky as we never met any oncoming traffic. Every convenience is provided and the cottage was spotlessly clean. Handy for Knighton, Clun and beautiful Shropshire hills

“Go no further”

We have been staying in self catering cottages for over twenty years and this has to be the best of the lot. a charming and comfortable base for two with splendid bedroom and bathroom. Spotlessly clean and well prepared with everything you could need. Friendly, helpful owners on the spot who even sent on the reading glasses I had left behind. One slight quibble in that the approach lane is very much one way but this does help preserve the tranquility of the beautiful area..

“One of the most enjoyable holidays we have had”

Stable End is probably the finest self catering accomodation we have had the pleasure to stay in in the UK.

“Great place to relax and get away from the phone”

Enjoy the great peace and quiet, great place to stay and enjoy the nice big bath and bed. It is a good place for a romatice week/end. Lots to see and do around Bucknell. but make sure you have all you need as few shops around to buy the odd loaf or pint milk.

“accomodating accomodation”

We had a wonderful week here the accomodation is well equipped and cosy with all the conveniences you need .All the labour saving devices ,owners close at hand but inobtrusive unless required .It was near to many interesting locations all within easy driving distance also near to local shops and pubs.All in all the only minus was we were only there for a week ,a very relaxing holiday in a delightful rurul location.

“Peace and tranquility in excellent accommodation”

Quiet and remote. Ideal to get away from it all and a superb area for walking and appreciateing the wonderful countryside that surrounds this property. This is a barn conversion that has been undertaken to very high standards providing all modern comforts. The owners (who live across the courtyard are very friendly and helpful). All together this is excellent accommodation in a beautiful area - highly recommended.

About the location

BUCKNELL

Knighton 5 miles; Clun 6 miles; Ludlow 13 miles.

The pretty village of Bucknell nestles in the beautiful valley of the River Teme in South Shropshire, close to the borders of Wales and Herefordshire. This is a lovely area of peaceful unspoilt countryside, but still offering much interest for the visitor - the historic market town of Ludlow renowned for its superb restaurants, Ironbridge with its famous museums, and the county town of Shrewsbury are all within easy driving distance. The Heart of Wales Railway has a station in the village and to the south are the black and white villages of North Herefordshire with their cider orchards. Bucknell offers two pubs, both serving food, whilst the nearby market towns of Craven Arms and Knighton offer a full range of amenities.
