“This is a lovely, well maintained, spacious cottage.”

The location is ideal for many great walks from the door step. All amenities a few minutes walk away. The cottage is quiet with everything you need.

The location is ideal for many great walks from the door step. All amenities a few minutes walk away. The cottage is quiet with everything you need. The ensuite would benefit from a shower screen as difficult to shower without getting water everywhere. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning.

“Very good, large cottage, more of a house.”

Big rooms, very comfortable, good location, near to but not in the middle of town. The only slight drawback was the router losing the internet for a couple of (separate) evenings. All in all, a great cottage.

“This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage and we have been very happy with everything.”

The location is excellent. It is 5 minutes walk from the centre of town yet is very quiet and secluded. We found 5 different walks over the Long Mynd and Caer Caradoc all starting from the cottage so no need to use the car. A very enjoyable holiday.

“Very comfortable cottage with excellent amenities.”

Cottage situated in quiet cul de sac but near centre of Church Stratton in area of outstanding natural beauty. Location within easy driving distance of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Ironbridge and much more. Highly recommended.

“This was a lovely cottage in a very lovely part of the country.”

There was everything in the area you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Several restaurants, pubs and a variety of other places to eat all within very easy walking distance and of course lots of walks for all abilities. The cottage was very well equipped and the cake, biscuits and pint of milk left for us much appreciated.

“We never go wrong with Sykes, and this cottage was no exception.”

Situated in the heart of Church Stretton, nestling under Long Mynd, it was very comfortable and well-equipped. In particular, we appreciated the comprehensive kitchen equipment (including knives that actually chop veg), and the welcoming touches in the form of biscuits, cake and a pint of milk. Whole-hearted thanks to the owners!

“Excellent location in terms of closeness of the town and it's shopping and for setting off across the Shropshire Hills.”

Travelling to local towns and their highlights, Ludlow, Bridgenorth, Ironbridge, Shrewsbury pretty good as well. Accommodation superb, comfortable, cosy and all that you would require for a relaxing holiday. Information at the cottage comprehensive. In all, to be highly recommended!

“Sykes provided a great all-round service, from start to finish.”

Easy to book, with personal contact from a member of the team. We were met on arrival at the cottage by the owner, with cake and biscuits to welcome us. The cottage itself was absolutely beautiful - Exceptionally clean and situated in a perfect spot just a few minutes walk from Church Stretton village with its shops and fantastic community spirit. It was our first visit to the Shropshire Hills, but it definitely won't be our last - A big 'thank-you' to David and Gill for making us feel very welcome in their home and a big 'thank-you' to Mother Nature for being kind with the weather, and allowing us to travel to all parts of Shropshire. A really enjoyable holiday! Steve and Karen

“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.

“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 !

“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.
