• "This is a fabulous cottage with great attention to detail."

  It is comfortable, clean and cosy with amazing views over the countryside. The lane up to it is single track and can be a little daunting but the cottage is well worth the journey. Would recommend it and will hopefully be returning next year.

• "Great stay at Shepherds View."

  Fantastic location with stunning views, Will and Karen were fantastic hosts, welcoming but not overpowering, on hand if needed. The accommodation provided us with everything we required, the log burner a definate asset when the weather becomes cooler. Lots of places to visit or a walkers and nature paradise. Relax on the decking watching the sky changing, the weather rolling up the valley, the Red Kite visiting in the afternoon, or wrap up and watching the stars shining! A great, relaxing break

  Thank you for this lovely review. Like us you clearly enjoy being outdoors amongst the amazing countryside Shropshire has to offer. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you again for kind review. Property Owner

  It is very well supplied, extremely comfortable. Will and Karen are excellent hosts, sharing their love for their beautiful home and surrounding fields and pretty sheep. They added nice extra touches. It is convenient for exploring the area, or just unwinding to stare at the wide expanse of the stunning view. This part of Shropshire enjoyes quiet very pretty landscape and it is also very handy to visit the Welsh Marches. We very much look forward to re-visiting.

  It's a really beautiful cottage in an even more beautiful location. Will and Karen were lovely hosts and the animals were lovely, with the young lambs running over each day to say hello. The views were outstanding and the bird feeder outside attracted a wide range of species. My saloon car had no problem accessing the property and only once did we meet another car on the lane (but there are plenty of places to pull in and pass). I can't fault this stay, thank you Will and Karen it was really memorable watching the weather roll across the valley.

  We had a perfect week in which rain stopped play only once. Karen & Will have thought of everything to ensure folk enjoy their stay. Netflix has been added recently which for us meant that on that one wet day we had the excuse to chill and watch a film. We cannot rate the experience highly enough. We will return!

  Plenty of room, really comfortable and a well equipped kitchen! In my many years experience, holiday cottage kitchen utensils are often old and knives often blunt. At this cottage the pans and cooking utensils were good quality and the knives were better than the ones in my own home kitchen. Well done the owners

  ) the location is idyllic; peaceful, with incredible ever-changing views over the valley. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated, and so warm and cosy with the wood burning stove. There is so much attention paid to all the small details that we had everything we needed for our stay, as well as a wonderful bottle of wine and box of biscuits waiting for us to welcome us to the cottage. Finally, Karen and Will were wonderful hosts, on hand to recommend some good local walks and sights for us to visit and share their experiences and stories of sheep farming. We cannot wait to return next year, and cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

• "Warm welcome by Karen and Will, lovely, very spacious lodge, beautiful view and surroundings, some friendly brown sheep in the neighbourhood:) The bed seemed small double, which is pretty much good for most of the people for short stay."

  It was good for me, too, I just like to take my place as much as I can. The area is lovely, many National Trust and English heritage sites, castles, ruins, zoo, there are a lot to see around. However, be careful when up to the cottage. The instruction get from Sykes is pretty clear and if followed, we can't be lost. But the single track is getting very bumpy for a few hundred feet close to the house (at the last turn), so up and down take extra time always, as we can drive only very slowly. Please bear in mind that these tracks are usually used by durable real jeep and land rovers (sometimes tractors), so a city-go-car can react in a different way than other times... Welcome pack was a bonus, TV is huge and practical with its ever-simplest switch, which is the easiest to handle. Couches are extra comfy:) The whole lodge's decoration and style is just simple and natural, just like the colours. I really appreciate the help from Will and Karen, when my car decided not to leave on the day of departure. The car battery charger and the calming and encouraging words helped a lot:)

The entire place was clean and tidy, with great new kitchen equipment and a log burner in the living room for those colder, cosier nights. I came to stay on my own as a 3 night retreat from the city and it worked a charm; the views are stunning, the area is incredibly quiet, the farm is a great place to walk around and the animals are all super friendly. I will definitely be visiting again as soon as I’m able to!

• "This is a lovely tranquil place to stay and really lifts the spirits, especially if you are normally a bit of a city dweller."

  The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and their attention to detail is evident in the cleanliness, individuality of decor, comfortable furnishings, the Christmas tree and decorations not to mention the eggs, wine and biscuits. The gift bottle stopper came in very handy as well. We managed easily in the kitchen, for the two of us there was everything we needed. The long winding drive up needs to be taken cautiously but the gorgeous rolling hill views are well worth the climb. Plentiful logs kept us cosy and warm inside whilst outside the seating area was ideal for a glass of bubbly as the mists receded before the sun went down. A wander around the fields to meet the (very gentle) sheep and say hello to the (well behaved) dog and (gorgeous) cat was invigorating. A longer than anticipated trek across the Long Mynd even more so! Just wish we could have stayed longer. I think this is going to be a favourite!
