"This is a perfect cottage with a wonderful view which is well equipped and ideally located for visiting Shropshire's attractions."
The trolley provided was very useful for transporting luggage the 50m from the car to the cottage and vice-versa. Lu was very helpful by removing all feather bedding from the stables before we arrived to accommodate a feather allergy. We had a really enjoyable holiday. Thanks.

"We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years, and The Stables was one of the best."
It was light and spacious with amazing views of the surrounding countryside from every window. The walled garden gave us privacy and was very attractive. Lu and Mike, who live in the house opposite, were the perfect hosts and were friendly and helpful when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. We would definitely go back again.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would be very happy to welcome you here again. Property Owner

"A comfortable cottage that offered a beautiful small walled garden to enjoy on the sunny days and a comfortable, bright lounge to relax in during the rainy spells."
The cottage is well situated and day trips to Ludlow, Iron Bridge and the many ruined castles, priories and abbeys are easily achieved.

"Excellent cottage, like staying with friends."
Accurate listing.
Although personal choice, option of a thicker duvet in the double bedroom would help with the variable summer weather.
Appreciated the welcome pack but milk would be useful. We found some at a pop-up farm shop which was still open when we arrived. There are no shops or pub near.

"The car parking space was unsuitable because it was overhung by trees which continually dropped debris and a lot of very sticky sap which was very difficult to remove."
After the first night and having spoken to the owner, we were allowed to park on the drive. The controls for the four hot plates were unworkable even though we followed the instructions so we were unable to use them. We informed the owner who did try to assist. The double bedroom was cold. It needed a warmer duvet and better space heating.
We are so sorry you had so many problems during your stay.
The trees have not been a problem for anyone else, it's rather unfortunate that your stay was at the time they were blossoming. We did our best to help you clean your car at the time and found you a different spot.
The hob works perfectly well, I think you had difficulty understanding how best to use the different rings. When I explained this to you I thought we had solved the problem for you. It's a shame you didn't ask for help again as I would have been happy to assist.
I 'm not sure why the room was cold as the heater was on when you left the property and the room was overly hot. There were clear instructions as to how to use it but perhaps you struggled with those as well. Property Owner

"A great place to stay."
Everything was just as shown in the photographs. We enjoyed our stay and are returning next May. Visiting local towns like Shrewsbury we used the park and ride and they were excellent and made life easy. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been to have had a parasol for the table and chairs in the private walled garden, but we coped.
Thank you so much for your feedback, it's really appreciated. We are so sorry about the parasol and absolutely kicking ourselves as we had put it away for the winter and completely forgotten to get it out. If only you had popped over or messaged, we could have found it for you.
Point taken over some comfy chairs, we'll get that one sorted straight away.
Looking forward to seeing you again next year, enjoy the rest of the summer.

"Pleasant, peaceful surroundings with great views."
Private walled garden was a bonus. Cottage had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Shame about the distance from car park to front door which in heavy rain would be unpleasant, although property description had pre warned us. None less would stay again.

"Beautiful cottage in wonderful surroundings."
The owner made us welcome and ask us to let her know if any help required. We found however that one of the twin beds in the second room were not fit for use. The mattress had been replaced but the base had not. The furniture in that Room had seen better days.
I think the crockery could also be replaced.
However we this is a perfect place to relax and visit the surrounding area.
Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry you had a problem with
one of the divans.
We will be changing them both as soon as possible for more comfortable
beds. Property Owner

"This is a lovely place to stay."
The cottage is very pretty on the outside and all mod cons on the inside. The owners welcome you with little presents ; tea, coffee, gin & tonic and some pretty toiletries in the bathroom.
The surroundings are beautiful, with sweeping lawns out front leading to fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. There's a very well cared for private garden. The whole place is lovely and quiet and peaceful. The owners are very kind, considerate and helpful.
It's within easy reach of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and lots of other places of interest.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Stables to anyone.

"The property has a real atmosphere of comfort and homeliness."
Even with the instructions, one or two of the appliances e.g. the hob, take a bit of practise but, the kitchen is very well equipped for someone who loves to cook. We appreciated all the little extras. The property has wonderful views, fabulous garden, and the hamlet is well appointed for the towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Church Stretton. Shropshire is a beautiful county with diverse landscape and great market towns.
My only small niggle is that the mattress on the first single bed in the twin room was lumpy and probably needs replacement. I was however, able to use the second single bed which was very comfortable.
I would highly recommend this property.
Thank you for your very kind feedback. We’re so sorry you had a problem with the mattress but very pleased you have brought it to our attention. 2 new mattresses are ordered and on their way! Property Owner

Warm, comfortable, well equipped and standing in amazing surroundings, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Stables. Having our own walled garden with furniture (and most days with sunshine too) was a real bonus after walking some of the Shropshire Hills. The owners left some delicious treats and toiletries. Definitely a cottage we will return to. Highly recommended.
