“Very comfortable.”

Probably the best equipped kitchen that we have encountered.

Probably the best equipped kitchen that we have encountered. Lovely setting, in a private close with views of The Long Mynd.

“Location Quality and facilities in cottage all excellent”
Mr Thorpe July 2020

“We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the cottage, which was reassuring during these coronavirus times.”

It is a lovely cottage which we would recommend to everyone who wants to visit Church Stretton and the surrounding area.
Mrs Gibbs October 2019

“Lovely, comfortable cottage with more than enough room for a family.”

Ideal location for popping into the village and lots of fabulous walks straight from the door. Also great central location for visiting the wider Shropshire countryside. Friendly owners and neighbours. Highly recommended.
Miss Mccartney October 2019

“This holiday cottage is lovely, cosy and comfortable.”

It is in a great location, easy access to everything but also nice and quiet.
Mrs Turner October 2019

“One of the cleanest Cottages we have stayed in.”

Much larger property than appears in photos. Bed too soft for us but you can't please everyone. Large number of lightbulbs not working and no spares. Great location, central Church Stratton with easy access to town and lots of walking from the door. Quiet location with only direct neighbours cars passing.
Mrs Wilkinson September 2019

“A wonderful week in a lovely cottage, perfectly situated for Church Stretton's shops and pubs with great walking from the door.”

The cottage was very spacious and well equipped and the parking was so easy. It could do with a few more homely touches such as a coffee table in the living room or a rug on the floor but that's being picky - we'd return tomorrow and definitely recommend it.
Mrs Clark August 2019

“The cottage was bigger than I expected with plenty of room for the family.”

Lots of interesting walks on the doorstep and the several of the pubs serve delicious food. No need to use the car.
Mrs Rumsey July 2019

“Apart from the collection of dirt between the cushions on both sofas this cottage redeemed my faith in self-catering accommodation.”

During the past year we have stayed in 2 cottages which have been very disappointing in all aspects but mainly condition and cleanliness, (not booked through Sykes). I will definitely use Sykes Cottages again in the hope that your vetting process means that other holiday lets meet the same standard.
Mrs Mardon June 2019

“Great location, quiet but easy access to town.”

Cottage had everything you need.
Mrs Shaw May 2019

“Beautiful area and the cottage was very well situated and was a lovely base.”

Luckily because the weather was very cold and wet the cottage was lovely and warm.
Mrs Mair May 2019

“The cottage is very comfortable and well-equipped.”

It is an excellent base for exploring the small, and large, towns and villages and the walking in the area is great.
Mrs Ashworth May 2019

“Cottage extremely well equipped & spacious.”

. Within easy walking distance to all shops & in a very private,peaceful setting.
Mr Macdonald April 2019

“The cottage was much larger than we expected.”

It was very conveniently located only a short walk from the centre of Church Stretton, and all the facilities. Despite being so close it was very quiet.One disappointment was the outside seating area. This could do with a little attention to make it more attractive. Overall we were very pleased with the cottage.
Mrs Hayward April 2019

“The location is fantastic.”

Located in a quiet cul de sac but only 2 minutes walk from shops, pubs and restaurants. You can also access many country walks from the cottage so don't have to take the car every day. The area is lovely and there is easy access to Shrewsbury and Ludlow as well as castles, national trust houses and pretty villages to explore. The cottage was larger than expected and had everything we needed. We would stay here again.
Mrs Dando March 2019

“This cottage is in an excellent location with walks directly from the door but also easy access to the village.”

The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable.
Mr Begent March 2019

“Warm and cosy cottage just a few minutes walk from the town.”

Lots to do and see in the area.
A Holiday Lettings verified reviewer January 2019

“Lovely cottage.”

The location was great, a couple of minutes walk in to the little town of Church Stretton. Where you will find a few pubs that serve great food. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable, and very clean. Will visit again.

“Perfect location for countryside walks and town shops”

This cottage is in a great location. You can walk from the door into the surrounding countryside and also 5 minutes takes you into the town where you have all the shops and eateries you need. Also close to train and bus connections to take you further afield like Hereford, Ludlow and Shrewsbury so you can leave the car at home if you like. A very well equipped cottage for six people with good quality furnishings and kitchenware. Cosy, warm and very spacious. Easy parking and friendly neighbours too. It is a home from home and we thoroughly enjoyed our almost 3 week stay there. Almost sad to leave!
MissMarple_8 June 2015

“Lovely old world charm with all mod cons.”

Stayed for one week on walking and sightseeing holiday. Beautiful cottage and situation. We were so lucky to have the best week of weather this year. The cottage is very spacious and great for a larger family with everything you would require. Welcome goodies awaited us on arrival, Shrewsbury biscuits and Bara Brith . Plenty of short circular walks, strolls in the nearby wood, or longer hill rambles, your choice. Market town with every shop, pub or restaurant that you could possibly want. Very handy for visiting one way Ludlow by train or car and Shrewsbury the other. We liked Ludlow the best.

“An excellent cottage with everything supplied for an enjoyable stay.”

This cottage is well equipped to a high standard. It is clean and comfortable and warm. Owners are friendly and made us feel welcome. The location is very central. A 5 minute walk takes one to the amenities of Church Stretton and a 10 minute walk into the valleys of the Long Mynd from where there are many miles of happy walking. Also central for public transport being only 10 minutes walk from the station.
JMBRamblings June 2014

“Superb cottage”

Stayed in the cottage for two weeks with my wife and 3 friends for a walking holiday in Shropshire. The cottage photos are slightly misleading in that the cottage is double fronted so we got twice the accommodation we were expecting. Beautiful, charming old cottage with more than enough space for 5 of us to amble around without getting in each other's way .Large kitchen, large living room/dining room, ample bedroom space - we loved it. Parking for 2 cars and a paved area out front with a table and chairs - perfect for a coffee ( or a G and T ) on returning "home" after a walk. in the hills. I must mention the surrounding area which is great for walking - as easy or as difficult as you like. We ran out of time to do all the walks we wanted, so plans are afoot to return. The holiday weather was virtually unbroken sunshine for two weeks. The owners popped in and made themselves known to us, kindly giving contact details in the event of problems and the neighbours were very sociable and kind. Fabulous fortnight.

“Great Cottage, Great Location”

We stayed in East Cottage as a base for a walking holiday. Having stayed in Church Stretton in the past we knew this would be a good location and were not disappointed. What we had not expected was just how good the cottage would be - facilities were great with everything we could have asked for, plenty of space and spotlessly clean. It would be really hard to find fault with the cottage - perhaps the only thing I would have changed was that the beds were rather soft for me but imagine others would find them perfect.

“Superb home from home.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break in theis spacious and well equipped cottage. Everything tis there that you could possibly need. The furnitues and furnishings were lovely and it was well kept and very clean. Many thanks to the owners for the very nice cakes on arrival. We would love to stay there again in the summer months as ours was a late winter/early spring break...although the temperature today isn't very different !
A FlipKey verified reviewer April 2013

“Great place to stay!”

We were really pleased with everything about this holiday cottage. Made most welcome by the owners on arrival, everything was there that was needed. Lovely walks from the door from gentle to fairly strenuous. The weather was very cold but the cottage was lovely and warm. The town has everything needed. We're hoping to book again, but there was one downside - the week went far too quickly and leaving day came too soon!

“Wonderful Old Cottage”

We stayed in this cottage for one week & loved it - it has great character. Although it is old, it nonetheless is very spacious with a large living room with a dining table, kitchen complete with breakfast area & 3 large bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities. It is situated in a lovely area with great views to the hills. Entry on arrival was by prior arrangement with the owners who met us & were very helpful. There is a large 'boot room' adjoining the kitchen so is perfect for walkers. It is ideally placed for walking the hills around Church Stretton, with the Long Mynd virtually at the back door. There is off-road parking for 2 cars. The main town is only 5 minutes walk away where there are shops, restaurants & pubs etc. Church Stretton itself is also ideally located for visiting Ludlow or Shrewbury (both can be reached by train in about 15 - 20 mins), Much Wenlock (about 20 mins by car) & Ironbridge (about 30 mins by car). We visited all of these & they are definitely worth making time to see if you can. We would certainly stay at East Cottage again.
