Wilstone Cottage

The cottage is lovely.

It is spacious well equipped and beautifully renovated in keeping with its age. It is peaceful and tranquil. Highly recommended. We will definitely return.

Lovely cottage, very peaceful and tranquil.

Something to note, to get to the cottage is down a single track lane for a couple of miles. Once on the main road, lots of places within easy reach.

Beautiful quiet rural location with 360 views.

Comfortable, spacious house with character and everything we needed. Walks from the door to the village or the hills was a real treat and lots to explore with a short drive nearby. We would happily stay again.

A charming cottage.

Quiet and way out in the countryside. Wonderful walks from the front door. Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. The hosts (Rihann and James) were very helpfull and friendly The stairs need some practice! Also note that this is farming country. The roads are single track. All in all, a great little holiday we enjoyed it greatly. Dr Michael and Sandra

Lovely country house , perfect for the 5 of us .

Facilites were great , log burner used as quite cold for the time of year which was lovely. Country walks from the doorstep and a lovely pub just down the road ,can highly recommend.

We came to Wilstone Cottage looking for a quiet weekend getaway, and it did not disappoint.

The character and comfort of the house with its wooden beams and cosy interior is wonderful. Would highly recommend and hope to come back soon.

Lovely cottage in excellent location.

Very helpful owner. Slight issues with the heating which turned off in the afternoon. Some of the kitchen equipment didn't meet the high standard of the cottage overall (rubbish kitchen knives, no roasting tins/dishes)

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Wilstone Cottage, it was clean, warm, comfortable and homely - with the added bonus of a decorated Christmas Tree!

The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, the living room cosy (especially with the log burner) and the kitchen had everything we needed. We definitely hope to be back in the future - hopefully in the summer to make use of the outdoor space too!

Lovely cosy cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Loads of hot water and efficient showers. Steep stairs and low beams to be aware of but not a problem. Owner sorted out the heating timing for us over the phone but popped in to check it was OK. Bring your own bath sheets if you like a big towel but the ones provided were adequate. Great walking on the doorstep and only a 20minute amble to the pub. A fabulous place to stay for a New Year break.

Wilstone cottage is a lovely old cottage, full of character and very comfortable.

We were there for Christmas week and they put up a tree and even knocked on Christmas Eve to make sure we had all we needed for the big feast. Such a lovely place so quiet and dark, my other half brought his telescope and said it was excellent for dark skies, I’ve never slept so well! It does remind me of the little cottage in the movie ‘The Holiday’ but bigger! Highly recommend staying there, the stairs are a bit steep and the roads getting there narrow but worth it.

Wow what a place for peace and quiet

What a delightful cottage.

A group of friends we had a less than enjoyable stay at a cottage last year so we were prepared to be cold but Wilstone cottage is warm, clean and well appointed. The weather was wet and miserable and yet the location was still lovely. I would love to visit again.

What a beautiful cottage set in the rolling Shropshire hills.

We (a family of 6) found the property to be spacious but cosy. We enjoyed a roaring log fire in the evenings and the location was perfect for completing walks across the Long Mynd and Wenlock Edge. Easy check in and beds were changed into two singles for the older two with no problem at all.

Lovely cottage in a delightful spot.

Very clean. Very comfortable.

We were a group of 5, but 6 would be fine in this cosy cottage.

Appliances were easy to operate. Lovely to have parking for three cars . The infirm might find the stairs challenging with no shoes on!

Fabulous spot with fabulous views all round!

We had a lovely few days here, would recommend popping to the local pub for food. The cottage was comfortable, especially the beds and we were left a generous supply logs for the fire and other helpful items.

The cottage was beautiful; set in a lovely location with fantastic views from the terrace.

We had everything we needed inside and it was spotlessly clean. The pub did lovely food and was just a 10 minute walk down the road. I would thoroughly recommend Wilstone Cottage to anyone.

Peaceful location with lovely views Very comfortable beds and sofas.

, Kitchen equipment good. Stairs could be a problem with less able and very young children. Very narrow lanes to reach main road,but soon got used to where the pull ins were. Great little pub in the village, with good meals and cosy atmosphere and friendly people

Lovely, cosy but spacious cottage with beautiful views set in picturesque rural countryside.

Fantastic walks into the local hills and to Church Stretton straight from the door. Low beams and internal steps may be an issue for some, but add to the character of this pretty property. Plenty of blackberries for picking in the lane near the cottage at this time of year. We had a lovely holiday here.

The cottage sits in beautiful settings and is ideally situated.

The accommodation is spacious and tastefully decorated. The owner is easy to contact and always helped out with our enquiries. I would fully recommend.

A really lovely cottage in a wonderfull environment.

The view is stunning. Also, the property is very clean and the beds are very good. We'v had a good time!

We had a lovely peaceful stay at the cottage .

The key safe check in was great . We found the cottage comfortable and well maintained . The rural location of the cottage was so tranquil . The cleanliness of the property was excellent.

The cottage was very cold on arrival.

We have never stayed in a cottage where we had no control over the heating. We lit the fire but the rest of the house was cold. We contacted the owner who said they would extend the heating period which improved everything for the rest of the week. After the first night it was perfect. Everything else was absolutely brilliant except for the oven and grill in the kitchen, we love to cook. Personally we think the cooker needs replacing, very scratched hob and the oven/grill wasn't clean. Otherwise we have had a fabulous holiday, very comfortable bed, brilliant shower, bright and light lounge and brilliant patio with fabulous long distance views. We will definitely booking again next year.

Welcoming and spotlessly clean cottage.

Friendly owner. Beautiful location with walks from the door. Lots of birds around Stars was fab. I would book again for sure No negatives

This is a lovingly restored former farm workers cottage with tons of character and all the modern conveniences.

Located in the heart of the Shropshire hills it is the ideal base to explore an often overlooked part of England. Lots to do in the area and the log fire in the evening is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended. We had a great week here.

Great cottage.

Everything we needed was provided. Ideal for a quiet holiday or busier if you choose to go out and about.

We had a lovely stay in Wilstone Cottage.

It was even better than the photos suggested. Wonderful views. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Lovely character reception rooms. We will definitely be coming again

Very comfortable cottage in a rural setting with good access to local walks.

Helpful and friendly owners. Definitely recommend

Excellent cottage.

Everything we hoped for. Quiet, away from it all, lovely village, comfortable. Really good cottage.

We had a wonderful weekend at Wilstone Cottage as a group of 6 celebrating our 40th birthdays.

The cottage is probably nicer in real life than the photos - very clean and comfortable. The old doors and beams add a lot of character but make sure you pay attention to the 'mind your head' signs - we had a few bumps on the head going up the stairs! We had amazing weather so the immaculate lawn and outside space was brilliant and the views were stunning. We were extremely lucky to see the Northern Lights which made our stay very special and I'm sure the peaceful surrounds and lack of light pollution helped us take full advantage. The surrounding area is so beautiful - it felt a bit like the Cotswolds without paying the prices. Local village pub (The Royal Oak) is a short walk from the house and the staff were really welcoming. Great service and lovely food. The owner of Wilstone Cottage was super helpful and great at communicating including helping with recommending a walk etc. It was lovely to arrive to some flowers and cookies left by the owner as well. A memorable and very comfortable stay.

Just a lovely property, beautiful views from all aspects.

Very comfortable, had all our requirements . wood burner made the cottage very cosy. Very interesting area.

Another wonderful trip by our walking group to the cosy and comfortable Wilstone Cottage, a perfect location for exploring the Shropshire Hills, and a delight to return to after a day out, whatever the weather.

Lovely property in great location for walking.

Would recommend a break here. Clean, warm, comfortable and beautifully kept. Well stocked crockery, cutlery and utensils. Nice to have extra crockery and cutlery so able to use dish washer and still have spares to use. Thank you Rhiann

The cottage was lovely but we were cold and there were no instructions on how to turn the heating on for longer and there was only one fire lighter and no kindling for the fire, which was disappointing.

Having to depart at 10am Sunday morning was far too early and we all felt very rushed. The cake was a nice touch that we all enjoyed.

Wonderful cottage.

Very spacious, lovely and warm, great location with the pub just down the lane and very close to Church Stretton for walking and shops. Owner has clearly thought of all the little things needed to provide a home from home and touches like fresh flowers, maps, logs and a huge cake were greatly appreciated. Only improvement I could suggest would be a hair dryer and outside tap to hose down our very muddy boots!

We found Wilstone Cottage to be well equipped, characterful, providing peace and comfort.

It's well located for walking and visiting all parts of Shropshire and the owners were never far away if there was a problem. Would I stay here again, yes.

We had a lovely week-long stay at Wilstone cottage.

It is a charming property and we felt most welcome and comfortable. We loved being able to go on hikes and walks straight from the front door and particularly enjoyed the beautiful dining room where we spent lots of time playing games and eating together.

Gorgeous views from every window!

Cottage was spacious and comfortable. Incredibly quiet and peaceful (I am writing this in my home city, with a constant hum of traffic audible...sigh!) Appreciated the care of the owner who called in to check all was well and whether we needed to have the central heating on as it had turned unexpectedly chilly.

We really enjoyed our week at Wilstone Cottage.

Everything was very clean and well equipped. All of us especially enjoyed the Victoria sponge cake….thank you for that. Gorgeous views from the cottage, of the surrounding hills.

Lovely house and surrounding area.

My only suggestion would be that in our experience milk and butter at least are normally in the fridge on arrival at a holiday rental. It would be especially helpful to find it at Wilstone cottage too, being that the location is so remote. I understand the owner had literally just had a baby so maybe it was an oversight this time.

Wonderful stay in this very comfortable cottage, very warm and cosy with all the facilities you will need .

The views are spectacular ! We will absolutely be back

The most amazing view from all windows.

The property is set in the most idyllic area. The property is comfortable and cozy warm. Very well equipped and maintained. We only wish we had longer to stay there. So pretty. Thank you

Excellent stay.

Very comfortable and really good for a family break. Extremely clean and welcoming cookies, daffodils and eggs were a lovely touch. Thank you

A wonderfully warm, spacious, light and comfortable cottage in a fantastic location with lovely views and fine walking straight from the door.

With 6 adults in our group the facilities and space were excellent, and after a days walking in the beautiful Shropshire hills it was always a pleasure to return to the welcoming comfort of the cottage. We all agreed a return visit would be a must.

Very nice property, clean and well equipped.

Nice touch with the welcome biscuits and eggs. Thank you,

Excellent house in a marvelous location,walking routes from the door and very quite roads for cycling.

The house has good parking and bike storage which was an important reason for our choice.

We had a great week in peaceful, quirky Wilstone Cottage.

The many steps did keep us fit! So peaceful with lovely views. Clean and comfortable with everything we needed. My friend commented she found the oven a bit low, but that was all we could say as a negative. The eggs and biscuits were all enjoyed. Thank you. Would recommend and would be happy to stay again

Wilstone Cottage is one of the loveliest cottages we have stayed in.

So peaceful, beautiful views and very comfortable. So much thought and care has been put into making it feel like home. We were very touched by the welcoming gifts of eggs and cake and by Rhiann’s visit to check we were ok. Spending time with our family in such a lovely place was a real joy. This is a perfect cottage from which to enjoy walking and we did plenty! Discovering Shropshire was a real treat and it is such a beautiful place. Thank you.

Nothing to add - perfect

This was our first stay in Shropshire & it didn’t disappoint.

Willstone cottage is situated in the most beautiful & peaceful area, with views of surrounding hills all around. Great walks from the door. The cottage was clean & comfortable & complimentary cake & farm eggs were most welcome. The owner popped by to check all well & was very open to suggestions to improve guest experience & a list of mainly kitchen equipment was left with her. Overall lovely stay.

We had a great time in Wilstone cottage.

Remote but therefore very quite. Only birds, cows and sheep are your neighbours. Yes, it takes some time to get to a bigger road to get somewhere but we didn't mind. We enjoyed the eggs and the cake that waited for us in the cottage. Rhiann is a great host and always there for questions. And after a few days the beams and the steps are no longer a problem, you take them very easy. We liked the walks in the area, especially Caer Caradoc. What a views. For us people from the Netherlands absolutely fabulous.

The property was lovely, peace and quiet, it’s ok if you don’t mind driving down narrow lanes to go anywhere,

This is a really smashing property.

It's out on its own in gorgeous countryside with beautiful views all around and a big, safe garden for the children. Plenty of space indoors with super facilities. Good pub within walking distance. Friendly owners also came to check we had everything we needed upon arrival. A welcome package of home made cake and fresh eggs was also much appreciated. It's a character property so expect some 'duck or grouse' low beams, a quirky layout, many stairs and some poky bathrooms - but that's an expected trade off for all that gorgeous architectural history. The original timber frames, fireplaces and bread ovens are stunning. We're honestly struggling to find anything to criticise and can only suggest that the owners may want to replace some of the older kitchen pans and maybe freshen up some of the finishing touches (pictures, flowers etc) for a more sophisticated, cohesive décor throughout. A favourite moment was waking up in the blue bedroom to the sound of birdsong and miles of country views out of the two windows. This house is a bit of a gem, we loved it and would happily recommend.

A lovely property, full of character and well situated for walking some of the best bits of Shropshire.

The cottage was as described and has magnificent views in all directions. It has been restored with great care. For us the only downside was it was that it was very cold on the first and second days although the radiators were on full. I don't think it had been occupied for a few days prior to our arrival and it had got very cold. Once we mastered how to light a wood burner it soon warmed up and then became cosy.

Fantastic character cottage, very spacious and well appointed.

Wonderful, quiet location ideal for walking, cycling etc. Lots of logs for the woodburning stoves, which were much appreciated as were the eggs and biscuits from the farm. Ten minute walk to the pub. Overall, we had a wonderful break at Wilstone Cottage.

Fabulous little gem of a place to stay - off the beaten tack and very peaceful.

Beds spotless and very comfortable. Couldn't fault it.

Thoroughly enjoyable stay in this comfortable cozy cottage.

Lots of great walks in the area with splendid views.

Lovely cottage, comfortable and warm.

Just right for our family reunion. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a baby, in a lovely area. We easily parked 4 cars, and there was room for another one (however, they were all small cars). Re-reading the description, I note that there is a warning about low beams and split level - however, before going I didn't understand what you meant by "split level" - ie that there were quite so many steps down and up into various rooms, also I think you should say that the stairs are pretty steep. However, it was fine for our party, and the baby can't yet climb stairs. Another strange thing that I didn't mention to Rhiann (therefore wasn't a great problem to us) - but the water went off for a few minutes quite regularly (maybe once a day) - a bit awkward if you are in the middle of showering, and disconcerting the first time, when you don't know that it will come back again soon.

This is a very well appointed detached cottage, very clean and comfortable.

We particularly enjoyed sitting outside looking across the lawn to the sheep in the next field watching the sun go down before trotting off down the lane to the pub. Great base to meet up and explore the area, we will be back.

Great large comfortable cottage.

High standard of renovation with unique period features. Lovely countryside views and plenty of outside space for parking,enjoying the fresh air or star gazing after dark. Very helpful owners. All set in beautiful Shropshire countryside.

WOW is the only word that best describes Wilstone Cottage it was truly the chocolate box accommodation you dream about and the location just adds to its charm Great walks on your doorstep our party of 6 Adults loved Ironbridge and also Powis Castle and Gardens which are National Trust We didn’t try any local restaurant because eating in the cottage with the log fire roaring couldn’t be beaten Thank you for a memorable week James and Rhiann Best wishes Jeff, Maz, Penny and Debs

We had a great time at the cottage it was lovely and Clean and a lot of original features the owner had made a cake and left us some fresh eggs she was very nice .

the scenery was amazing and so quiet we found plenty to do and see especially the castles and the snowdownia hills I would highly recommend this cottage you wouldn’t be disappointed thank you for giving us the chance of a memorable time for a week

The location was fabulous as we wanted great walking from the doorstep and a little stroll to a pub.

The cottage was well maintained and comfortable. We had a little hiccup whilst we were staying and the locally based owners were very hospitable and well organised and did everything they could to help straight away. Thank you James, much appreciated. The stoves were fabulous and warmed the cottage up a treat. Just the perfect place to escape and unwind.

Marvellous location - surrounded by wonderful countryside on the doorstep.

An easy few miles drive to Church Stretton for all shopping. Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge and Ludlow all within half an hour's drive and worth visiting. West Midland Safari Park an hour away was a huge hit with the 'big' children and grandchildren. So peaceful and relaxing after the frenetic activity of London life. We were welcomed to the gorgeous cottage with fresh eggs, home-baked cookies and flowers. We quickly felt at home and were reluctant to leave. Perfect for our three generation post covid treat vacation!

We booked this amazing holiday cottage after seeing the pictures and we loved the look of the area and how spacious yet full of character the property was.

It didn't let us down - it was fabulous and we couldn't have asked for a better time. Everything was so clean and the kitchen was perfect- as we're our hosts. We hope to come back.

This is a lovely comfortably modernised old cottage, standing on its own in acres of space, surrounded by low hills, on a charming sunken lane between the rather sleepy village (with its very tempting pub) and an impressive farm at the foot of Caer Caradoc (the top of which you can see from the garden).

It has a big garden facing the fields and trees towards Wenlock Edge - it's gloriously quiet, much quieter than the valley over the hill to the west through which runs the A49. A delightful place to reach after the pains of motorway driving and city life! The cottage has lovely old oak doors and beams, and a perfectly preserved old baking oven. One of the best things about it is that you can go on some excellent hill walks straight from the front door - up Caer Caradoc, the Lawley hill, Hope Bowdler Hill, and beyond - from all of which there are wonderful views for miles around. The owner provides flowers, delicious eggs and cake as a welcome, and will probably call by and check you are OK. Our stay was blessed by good weather. Strongly recommended.

The cottage is in a beautiful setting and met all our needs.

It is very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. We loved being able to walk to the pub and to Caer Carradoc. (We were happy to find the pub seemed less a mile, perhaps only half a mile away? It might be worth changing this on the listing.) We very much appreciated the warm welcome we received from Rhiann especially the cake, eggs and beautiful flowers.

Cottage is ideally situated for what we wanted which was good walking and the cottage for filled all our expectations.

Our host was very friendly and made us feel really welcome with a fresh baked cake, free range eggs and the beautiful flowers. We hope to return as soon as we can.

This is an excellent property for people who wish to experience the true English countryside.

Located in the Shropshire Hills it a delightfully secluded cottage within easy walking distance of a good pub and a very picturesque village. It has unspoiled views of the roiling green countryside The recently renovated property is comfortable, well equipped and the helpful owners are nearby should there be any issues to discuss. There are a wide range of walks of varying distances and difficulties with many interesting towns, villages and places to visit. A first class property in a wonderful part of the countryside.

Superb rural/ village location and extensive views in all directions.

Attractive restoration but lacks a little comfort on ground floor. Would love to go again soon.

Wilstone Cottage is the best self catering cottage we have hired.

Immaculately clean and extremely well appointed. There is everything you could need to cater, a home from home. We had poor weather, but the plentiful supply of logs were a boon. The cake and eggs provided were top class. The cottage is surrounded by fields and has outstanding views of the hills. There are plenty of walks available from the door. We have already rebooked for next year.

The quietness and the amazing views.

Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to make full use of the garden!

We had a wonderful time at Wilstone Cottage!

It has been beautifully renovated to capture the beauty of the old cottage while also feeling modern and comfortable (including good water pressure in the shower and reliable wi-if). The cottage was wonderfully clean and we were delighted to find fresh flowers, cake and eggs. The location is so peaceful and the views from all around the cottage are spectacular. We would love to stay again!

Perfect cottage and wonderful hosts .

Clean and in a fabulous spot . I would certainly like to book again Magnificent stay Kind regards

Wilstone Cottage is absolutely wonderful.

It was spotlessly clean which was very reassuring in a Covid world. The location is absolutely stunning. Set in beautiful countryside in the rolling hills of South Shropshire, no neighbours other than the working farm up the lane, we were surrounded by new born lambs in the Spring sunshine, great walks and hiking from the door. Very comfortable accommodation with all mod cons, but in an historic cottage building with exposed beams and wood burners to make a cosy feel. The welcome cake and free range eggs from the farm were a treat too. Top tip - fresh organic milk straight from the cows at nearby Hatton manor farm on the way to Acton Scott farm museum is also a real treat. All in all our stay was a real tonic in the best of British countryside after lockdown. Highly recommended and five stars from us.

Wilstone is a delightful cottage in a gorgeous setting with a terrific garden.

There's a wrap- around drive, and the gate closes and locks for complete peace of mind if you have little ones running amok. Inside there's loads of room; our family of 5 found it the perfect size, in fact quite ample. The two woodburning stoves were a big plus! The kitchen has everything needed for an extended stay. It was spotlessly clean throughout. The kids loved exploring the rambling layout, and adored the wardrobe in the master bedroom. We loved having basically a 'wing' to ourselves, with the children's bedrooms at arms' length down the hall - bliss. Rhiann was terrific in communication, and couldn't have done more for us. The homemade mince pies and farm fresh eggs were icing on the cake!

We particularly loved the fact that the cottage was completely on its own, and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.

We had some memorable walks from the doorstep. The cottage itself was cosy and warm, and really characterful with the old wooden beams and different floor levels.

We were fortunate enough to be the first-ever guests in this pristine cottage.

The beautiful condition of the characterful property came right up to the mark. The no-pets policy for the cottage will stand it in good stead for the future. Rhiann was a lovely and helpful host.
