1 Hetfield Cottages

Delightful cottage, tastefully decorated looked after by a charming couple who made us feel very welcome.

Although it was bad weather the cottage was very warm and cosy. We’ll definitely go again. Thank you

A wonderful warm and cosy cottage down a quiet lane in rural Shropshire, just a quarter of a mile from the Welsh border!

We loved the welcoming fruit cake, it lasted all week! Also Meadbh the border collie made much use of the dog towel provided! Luckily we had sunny (but cold) weather, so got out most days, visiting the lovely local towns - Montgomery, Clun and Ludlow were especial treats. Also, a visit to the Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd is unmissable. The cottage itself is very comfortable, warm and well equipped, with surprisingly good WiFi for a rural area!

We had a very nice stay.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. There was a cake waiting for us as well. We booked very late, on the arrival day actually, and sykes staff were very helpful and efficient.

We had a very enjoyable stay, the location is really quiet and peaceful and the access road from Bishop's Castle, albeit narrow was no problem; there are plenty of good walks and places to visit within half an hour's drive.

The cottage had everything that we needed including a well equipped kitchen and was nice and cosy for our October holiday. The owners live next door and could not have been more helpful or considerate of our needs; the welcome cake was particularly appreciated.

A beautifully quiet, lovingly maintained and restored, period cottage.

It has lovely oak, wood doors and other great features. Our neighbouring hosts were friendly, but not invasive, it was lovely to feel welcomed after a very wet drive, into a warm kitchen with a homebaked cake in the tin. We brought our dog along and the walks that surround cottage are wonderful, it is possible to have one foot in Wales and the other in England, a few hundred yards from the front door. . We also appreciated the water bowl and towel provided for our pooch. All in all, even in the changeable weather, a lovely stay.

Unbelievable, we got more then we expected.

True it is an old house but very well maintainted. Everthing present what ever we needed. Wonderfull host and a lovely welcome present. we really felt at home. Highly recomended if you want total darkness at night and total silence. The area is wonderfull and easy acces to nearby town. Great place to escape the city. 100% we will return to this place.

Quiet and peaceful stay with panoramic views overr the Shropshire and Welsh hills.

Good base for our walks along Offa's Dyke and the Long Mynd. Delicious lemon drizzel cake in the sun on our return. A very useful ulitity and boot space in case of inclement weather.

A great stay at a reasonably priced cottage, no problem with parking and dog was made welcome.

A bonus was the excellent home made fruit cake that awaited us upon arrival. Plenty to see locally and an ideal base from which to explore the Welsh Marches and borders. Can certainly recommend a trip to Ludlow Castle !!! Owners live just next door and were extremely friendly and helpful with any queries we had. If you are looking for a friendly reasonably priced break in a more remote part of the UK but still within striking distance of civilisation then this could be for you - highly recommended!

Stayed at 1 Hetfield Cottages 2nd to 6th June 2023.

Really enjoyed my stay there. The views were breathtaking. The cottage was well-equipped and a delicious cake from Jenny was very welcome. Bishops Moat is a lovely place, a good start point to explore and take in some beautiful countryside.
