The Stables

A beautiful cottage in a brilliant location.

Hosts were very friendly,but respected our privacy. Every window had a lovely view and the walled garden was a lovely addition. Would certainly recommend this cottage and returning we got the chance.

Really lovely accommodation in a beautiful area ,just very sad that owing to my disability won't be visiting in the future because of the distance from the car to the bungalow, though this was clearly mentioned by Sykes but I over estimated my capabilities

The Stables was an ideal property as my 86 year old mother-in-law who has limited mobility came with us.

As the property was all on one level it meant that she had full access when using her rollator. We had to use the wheelchair from the parking space to the front door which wasn't too much of a problem. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped. The view from the kitchen window was gorgeous. The bottle of wine and nibbles were much appreciated. The property is well situated for access to local NT properties including nipping across the border to Powis Castle. I would recommend The Stables for exploring Shropshire from.

We had a lovely stay at The Stables and it was an excellent touring base for the region.

Even in the heatwave the property was lovely and cool due to the thick stone walls. Our only feedback would be that the curtains in the lounge were top quality but the ones in the bedrooms were dreadful and did not block any light such that we were woken at sunrise around 6am or earlier every day which was the last thing we wanted on holiday.

The Stables was a beautiful clean, spacious and comfortable cottage with absolutely stunning views to the hills beyond.

We would thoroughly recommend it as a peaceful retreat in the Shropshire countryside

One of the most relaxing places I have ever stayed, the walled garden is an absolute gem Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy the Shropshire Hills

Beautiful and peaceful stay with wonderful hosts, highly recommend

My second stay at the Stables and again a lovely holiday.

The accommidation is well maintained and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. There are country views from every window and the surrounding area is ideal for walks. The owners are very friendly and always on hand should you need to ask anything. I look forward to another stay there.

The Stables proved a great base for exploring this corner of Shropshire with lots of good walks nearby and interesting places to visit.

Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden and outlook. Handy parking area by the gate and a path straight to the door, with trolley provided to help move luggage the short distance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Stables.

A lovely clean and spacious cottage with private walled garden. Really quiet with beautiful countryside views from the cottage. Will definitely come again.

Had a wonderful holiday.

Felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. No complaints at all.

We enjoyed our stay at the Stables.

The only problem we found was the very small roads in that area.

We had a lovely stay at The Stables.

The cottage is spacious and very comfortable .It is well equipped and is a good base for visiting the lovely sites in the area,The views from the cottage are stunning.

The Stables is a perfect place to spend a vacation, offering cosiness and surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Cleanliness and facilities were of a very high standard making it feel like a well loved home. Fortunately we were able to bring home some of the lovely apples off the trees. So when we eat our crumbles and pie we will have happy memories of the Stables. Thank you both again for your kind hospitality. We will certainly see you again.

The cottage was lovely and in a peaceful location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the wine and the nibbles. Thoroughly recommended. And a great base to visit Snowdon which we did. Thank you we would definitely book again.

Wonderful holiday at the Stables.

Warm welcome from our hosts - Lou and Mike. Beautifully presented property. Kitchen felt like a home from home. Nice big bathroom with bath and separate shower. Great selection of interesting local history provided and a good selection of books to read. Wonderfully quiet with some nice walks from the door.

We have stayed in many lovely cottages over the years but this one was one of the best, if not the best.

Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners have thought of everything. Beautiful private garden which gets the sun all day, furnished with comfortable garden furniture and BBQ. Fabulous views. Loads to do in the area. Neat by pub serves delicious food. Would recommend this property 100 percent.

A very spacious 2 bedroom cottage spotlessly clean and very well equipped.

Owners nearby and very helpful and friendly. Wonderful rural views and our own private walled garden.

We had a great week at the Stables which offered spacious and comfortable accommodation with its own private pretty walled garden and stunning views.

It was a perfect base for walking in the Shropshire hills, and exploring Shrewsbury and Ludlow and further afield.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage.

Lots to do near by, Lots of N T properties. Pretty walled garden to enjoy. Lu and Mike very friendly and helpful . A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

The Stables Cottage was clean and comfortable.

It enjoys beautiful views and a lovely private garden. It was a great base to enjoy this lovely county from and we would love to return one day.

An amazing location for tranquility and calm.

Views are beautiful. Private walled garden is so enjoyable to relax in where sounds of birds,bees and sheep give so much pleasure. An excellent holiday retreat.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting.

Extremely comfortable and we had a very relaxing stay. A peaceful sunny garden. Lots to do near by. Would definitely stay again.

A well equipped property in a beautiful setting.

The beds were comfortable and the rooms a good size. Had a very relaxing, peaceful break.

Spotlessly clean but some of the furnishings and crockery could do with an update.

Lovely tranquil location for a very peacefull holiday.

We recently stayed at The Stables as a family of 4 (children are 5 and 7) and we don't have a bad word to say.

The cottage is set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and has everything you need. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, plenty of soft towels, and enough jigsaws to entertain us the whole week. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and the private, enclosed garden was ideal for the children. The Stables is also ideally located for days out, with a week packed with visits to National Trust destinations, Ironbridge, Telford Town Park (fantastic for the kids), Quarry Splash Park in Shrewsbury and a walk along the river, and Ludlow Farm. We also visited The Pound in Leebotwood for some delicious pie, which has a small play area outside. The Stables is definitely somewhere we will book again in the future. It's ideal for families as well as those wanting to get away for some uninterrupted peace and quiet. Just wonderful!

A superb cottage in peaceful surroundings.

It is very comfortable and well equipped and we had a lovely week. It may seem churlish to say but our only suggestion would be that some of the cups / mugs have become chipped and could do with replacement but it caused us no problem whatsoever. We would highly recommend this lovely accommodation to anyone who wants a peaceful and restful holiday.

We had a wonderful week.

The situation is so idyllic and quiet

We had a lovely week at The Stables.

It’s a very well appointed, cosy cottage with stunning views. Clean, with modern fittings, well laid out for our family of four and the gardens are beautiful. Centrally located for walks and Shropshire sights. We particularly enjoyed the Carding Mill Valley which is just 15 mins drive, and Ludlow and Stokesay Castles are about half an hour away. We also had a great day out on the steam trains on the Severn Valley Railway.

We had a great time at The Stables.

It was so comfortable and cosy with everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Beautiful views from every window! The beds were super comfy and it was great to have extra blankets available. We loved the retro board games and really appreciated all the leaflets, guides and maps on the local area. We had some brilliant days out, we love Shropshire!

The Stables is a comfortable and warm property.

It has a roomy kitchen, with lots of storage space, with good facilities, cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and hot water. The bathroom has an excellent shower. There is underfloor heating in lounge, kitchen, hallway and bathroom which works well and has an easy override option for additional heat. The bedrooms are heated by electric wall panels which are efficient. There is a good selection of local interest books and guides and an easy to work large screen TV. The hosts live opposite and are responsive and there is a very good view south from the property to the woodland on Lodge Hill. A private walled garden can be accessed from the lounge via a set of double doors, the garden is well maintained with fine flower beds, shrubs and lawn. The property is in a quiet location and a very good choice if you wished to explore Shropshire and the nearby Longmynd either on foot or by bike. There is a railway station at nearby Church Stretton or Shrewsbury with access into Powys. Shrewsbury has a regular Saturday morning Parkrun which is very popular and a regular very good indoor Market, excellent for fruit and vegetables.

Nice few days away, nothing negative to say at all, just a well run, clean cottage, lots of space and very comfortable - cant wait to book again soon.

... Great for local walks too....!!

Absolutely beautiful cottage, very comfortable, warm with great rooms.

The location was gorgeous with lovely scenery and the owners Mike & Lou were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. We had a fabulous Christmas stay at the cottage and would definitely visit again! Thank you for everything.

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.

A beautiful cottage with lovely views in a peaceful location.

The accomodation was extremely comfortable and had everything we could have wished for.

A beautiful cottage.

We loved our stay. Thank you. Bob and Marilyn

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.

The stables is a great place to stay.

Very clean and well furnished. Thank you to Lu the owner for being accommodating with the fact we had a wheelchair. We really enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.

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.

A comfortable spacious property with a great outlook and private walled garden.

The only negative was the distance from parking to the property which we were aware of from the property description.

Fantastic Chritmas break very cosy cottage lovely setting evan a christmas tree Church Stretton and Much Wenlock just up the road Great little Market Towns Loved it

This delightful cottage had everything we could want.

A real home from home. It was lovely and cosy to come back to after a day out when the temperature was sub zero. The garden looked very inviting, a pity we couldn't use it because of the weather! I would definitely recommend this accommodation and will be back in the future.

The Stables was an excellent stay.

Spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Everything we needed to make the stay relaxing was provided, and the local walks and pubs were both excellent. Definitely recommend and would stay again - great for exploring Shropshire

An absolutely delightful stay at a wonderful property.

Picturesque cottage, furnished well, great facilities, very comfortable and clean throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again. Friendly and helpful hosts too. Cannot recommend enough.

A lovely home from home for a very relaxing holiday.

In fact, the best holiday cottage we have ever booked, and we've visited quite a lot. We loved the spacious accommodation and the decor. The owners live nearby but were unobtrusive and friendly. We plan to return to enjoy the peaceful location and explore more of Shropshire.

Lovely cottage.

Very private walled garden. Owners live opposite so there if needed but otherwise left us alone. Lots to do in the area and nice places to eat nearby. Quite a bit of wildlife visible from the garden. Very comfortable two weeks.

Beautiful location and thoughtfully equipped, we had a great stay.

Thank you!

Lu and Mike are very warm & welcoming, concerned & generous hosts.

We felt so at home as soon as we walked in - spacious, bright, well equipped, clean and comfy. Really enjoyed the heatwave, so we could make full use of the cosy & private walled garden. Experienced so many interesting places in the vicinity, wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved everything about the cottage, location, accommodation, furnishing, tranquility, and especially the garden.

The provision of a trolley for transportation of luggage and supplies, was much appreciated.

A super cottage, everything was perfect.

Lovely walking in the area, particularly from Church Stretton. No problem with the distance from parking area to the cottage, there is a trolley. Absolutely excellent all round.

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.

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.

Unquestionably, a wonderful place to stay for a holiday.

Magnificent views from The Stables and we were surprised how spacious it was. A beautiful and private walled garden to enjoy the flowers and sit outside. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place for you. Church Stretton is easily reached for shops/restaurants etc. Lots of walks from the doorstep and in the vicinity. Lots to see and do for everyone We were very impressed and would not hesitate to return in the future..

Beautiful, "away from it all" cottage.

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.

Lovely property in a quiet location, with beautiful views of the hills.

Wonderful property.

Perfect location for exploring the area whilst being in a very peaceful setting. Everything was exactly as we had hoped. For absolute perfection, some maps showing the footpaths from the cottage would be amazing!

Very comfortable and well equipped

one of the best cottages we have ever stayed at, we could not fault the site or facilities.

It was a fantastic setting with wonderful views of the countryside.

Spacious accommodation, better than pictures.

Immaculate and well equipped. Beautiful garden, very comfortable cottage, would recommend
