The Little Dingle

The cottage was lovely however it would have been nice to have a large mirror in each of the bedrooms above the dressing table and a couple of extra chopping boards in the kitchen.

Outside the patio area needed tidying up

Overall the property was okay, clean, tidy and well maintained.

The description is a little misleading - books, games etc were in the bottom drawer in one of the kitchen units along with kitchen appliance instruction leaflets ( no games, 3 year old leaflets and a couple of books). The washing machine was hidden in a cupboard in one of the bedrooms behind a door with no doorhandle! The living space would be cramped for 4 people but the bedrooms are a good size. While clean, warm and comfortable the property lacked character and was more like a holiday inn motel. The guest information folder needs updating; not sure where the owners live because the property next door is a holiday let as well. Apart from these issues we still enjoyed our stay.

we stayed in The Little Dingle this time last year and the only faults we found were the lack of mirrors and the narrowness of getting into the shower.

This year things have seemed to have changed. First the Wifi. practically non existent, in fact the password had changed but it was only after about nearly an hour of fruitless trying to log on did we find that the password had changed and the changes were written on a scrap of paper in the file, not that it made any difference, onlu one of us managed to stay logged on for any length of time. Still no mirrors of any size and that only in the bathroom above the sink, oh and a tiny makeup/shaving mirror. There were temp fluctuations in the showers. Poor tv reception. A bit more cutlery and crockery would be a bonus and the bread board definitely needs replacing as it is badly scored by the knife and split. Clearer instructions as to what can and can't be recycled would help as would a bin for the recycling in the kitchen. Oh and we stored our cases under the bed and found out how much dust was lurking there. Having said all that I still like the cottage and if these few things were attended to it would be great.

Whoever owns this cottage has obviously lost interest in it.

It is up for sale and in a poor state of repair. Peeling paint outside and an unkempt garden (not the beautiful one in the description) give a poor impression straight away. The fact it is right next to the very busy A49 means it is constantly noisy and this was kept fairly well hidden in the description too. The cottage is “surface clean” with lots of insect poo in the window frames - yuk and the outside window ledges are covered in muck, there are also so many flies we had to keep the windows closed for the whole week. Apart from the tiny living room (only really big enough for two) the room sizes were quite generous and it was nice that both the bedrooms are en suite. Bedding and towels were lovely and clean and of good quality. We did enjoy our holiday but would not rebook this cottage

Disappointed to find information contained in their "Visitor Folder" was not up to date in respect of WI-Fi connection and their current contact phone number.

Also the dishwasher info leaflet was for a completely different model!. There was no washing machine as advertised Sykes details fortunately did have the correct phone number, but it only went to answer phone. Not ideal if the query was urgent. Otherwise the property was well designed as holiday accommodation with very good quality appliances, crockery, utensils and bedding. The ensuite facilities in both bedrooms was a bonus. The lack of a garden (the gravel area at the back of the property with all weather seating was not very enticing! Despite all the above we really enjoyed our stay for a week in this property.

David Crozier Fri, Jun 6, 7:34 PM (3 days ago) to Sykes I am back at home early as our stay was awful.

On the evening of arrival last Saturday, none of the 4 TVs were functioning. We had our lap tops to use but the WiFi wasn't working. The following day we got two TVs to operate one in the living room that went in and out of signal and in the kitchen it was stuck on BBC 1. I had internet to check and bills to pay. Fortunately my friend lives in Shrewsbury and embarrassed I use his WiFi otherwise I would have been £1200 in debt. All week the internet and TVs were useless so we left early. David Crozier

The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed, the only thing wrong was the flat roof was making a creaking/thumping noise whilst cooling down after a day's sun.

Also the WiFi was very intermittent because it was being supplied through the larger property. All in all we had a lovely relaxing week.

Lovely little bungalow , clean and well equipped.

could do with some mirrors on the bedroom walls I couldn’t see in the bathroom one it was too high , some people had problems with temp in the shower ,but my husband found that if you used a flannel over the tap he was able to adjust it to the right temp , nice little garden to sit in , train line passing ,and on a busy road but didn’t bother me and I was in the cottage most of the time ,easy access to surrounding area Shrewsbury,church Stetton ,nice pub down the road 10 mins walk but only a footpath for half the distance, and unlit so take a torch

Lovely stay enjoyed our time comfortable and clean only thing that needs attention is the slab out the back needs to be sorted as it tips on you stand on it maybe a trip hazard but I will definitely be rebooking 100%

We enjoyed our stay !

The main problem was that neither bathroom showers were working properly. We could not get one of them to work. The other one was extremely hot and we could not turn the heat down to a reasonable level. We would certainly come again if the showers were working

Stayed twice now in this cottage central for visiting Shropshire and surrounding area everything alright except for all wall lights not working especially in the shower rooms.

This was a very disappointing holiday as it was not stated before that it was on a main A road with a wood yard next door and a railway track at the back.

The shower door was ver small that only slim people could get in. The water could not be adjusted. The strip lights did not work also the cooker hud light did not work. The seating was uncomfortable and after this stay we my not be using you again.

We loved out stay at Little Dingle, it was warm, clean and comfortable.

There were just a couple of things on the downside; the lack of large mirrors, the mirrors in the cottage comprised of one in each of the bathrooms in which I could only see my head (I'm 5' 2" ), there was a shaving \make up mirror in the bedrooms but larger mirrors could easily be fixed to the large cupboard doors in both bedrooms. Also the shower doorways are very narrow, anyone of a larger build would find it difficult to get in or out. Apart from that I would recommend Little Dingle.

We found the property well equipped and roomy however the decoration was a little tired.

I think we would have liked to have met our host at least once during our stay.other properties we have stayed at have had a pack with things to do places to eat etc, just lastly the garden area needed a rethink maybe cut back the trees and bushes to make the most of the afternoon sunshine.

The muffins, tea and milk were much appreciated on arrival.

Sadly the busy A49 on one side, the railway on the other and wood yard next door were not mentioned at the time of booking which made this not the most peaceful place we have ever stayed. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Although the living room and kitchen were tiny, the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The bathrooms were ok, however the shower in the double room despite being mentioned in numerous reviews still remains dangerously hot! A couple of bulbs could also do with being replaced in the over mirror lights. Parking is plentiful. However, the garden is not ideal for a young family-all gravel and uneven paving but ok for sitting out in the sunshine. Have stayed in a number of holiday cottages before and felt the local information, leaflets, etc was rather limited here. The muffins, tea and milk were much appreciated on arrival.

A very good property and central for what we needed to visit and also the property felt home from hope and would book this again in the future

Lovely setting and comfortable let.

Only negative was no hoover, full length mirror and that between the two buildings being let there were not enough bins to accommodate the number of people and their rubbish.

The property was very clean and comfortable.

The bed we used was comfortable and the bedding crisp and fresh. The kitchen is well equipped and provided all we needed. As with previous comments, issues with the shower but that apart we have no adverse comments at all and would happily use the property again.

We had a good time at the little Dingle.

Warm and cosy. Two bathrooms were a great asset. Two good size bedrooms. Lounge a bit small for four people. But overall a nice cottage. Cleaning lady was a great help for us. Nothing too much trouble. We wanted to book again but found out it was up for sale. If only I could afford it .

On the whole, The Little Dingle is in a good location for exploring this area of Shropshire and generally had everything we needed to self-cater.

We found it difficult to get through the small opening into the shower and it is very difficult to turn the tap to make the water cooler in one of the showers. We found the beds too firm, but this is probably a personal preference.

Fantastic bungalow really comfortable and beds were very good my only issue would be the cleanliness of the utensils and skirting boards etc sink plugs not working and bulbs not replaced it's a shame really we might have rented this place again but the welcome pack was lovely

Loved the look of The Little Dingle when we arrived,was very cute & off road which was great.

Once we got our belongings in & started to unload there was a few things noticed. No liners were in the bins in the bedrooms & bathrooms,the bin in the bedroom off the kitchen had hairs & nail clippings in it! The microwave & fridge looked like it hadn't been wiped out. There were many dead insects about too.The towel rail in the bathroom(off the kitchen kept falling off,we fixed it simply,also the shower was very hard to use in that room,water was so hot & adjusting it was hard work) there were no bath mats in either showers which made them a little slippery. Would of liked to of seen some cleaning supplies (l did take some along with me) unfortunately every time we had the back door open for evening air we were over run by huge hornets,moths & many other flying insects,maybe a fly curtain up at the door could prevent against this. We left two days early of the holiday sadly as my friend suffers with Parkinsons disease, & he found it too slippery in the shower without a mat. I don't like leaving a negative feedback but feel l have to on this occasion. The cottage is lovely,loved the beds,they were very comfortable,bedding was fab,towels too but l feel a bit more of a clean overall would of been good

Very grateful for the milk tea and muffins on arrival.

Some salt and pepper in the cupboard would be good and some kitchen and bathroom cleaner. Shower in bedroom off the kitchen despite following instructions water very hot and difficult to adjust never mastered it. We enjoyed our stay thank you and i think renting both properties would be superb for a large family gathering.

Very comfortable cottage.

Everything we needed was there.

The Little Dingle provided a very comfortable holiday home in a beautiful part of the country, near to Church Stretton.

It was very convenient to be able to park right by the front door. We enjoyed evening meals in two local pubs in Little Stretton and All Stretton and visited Much Wenlock which is a lovely old town and the Long Mynd which was very impressive. As we only wanted a short break we only stayed for three nights, but hope to come again for longer.

Great cottage.

Everything you need provided. A bit hard to find entrance in the dark.

Sent txt to Dan while there he came back immediately really helpful The property is really lovely and comfortable Very clean and everything you need for your stay Only suggestion would be a lamplight on the Dingle signage if that was at all possible as in winter dark nights it's quite difficult to see the turn in to get to the property Thanks Dan and Charlotte for a lovely rental

Difficult to control temperature on the showers.

Not much room in the kitchen diner. Couldn't sit at the table if someone wanted to get to the cooker or cupboards. Very clean and tidy we enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was was very well equipped with high quality goods and excellent bedding.

The bedrooms were also top quality. The only thing needed is a proper good sized mirror above the dressing table instead of just a small makeup mirror. Also mirror in bathroom to high (not everybody is tall). Entrance to the property is difficult as it is not easy to see and it’s off the very fast and busy A49. Didn’t see the owners of the cottage, would have been nice to have a “hello” as they lived next door. Back step needs cementing as it wobbles and showers while being very good are extremely slippery! On the whole the cottage was excellent and well located and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Very nice accommodation.

Two good sized bedrooms. Shower in one bedroom was excellent (we didn't try the other one). Nice small area to sit out at the back with sunshade umbrella to go with the table. Cottage is on a site with a larger property (also a holiday let). Very large area for parking. Church Stretton is a very nice little town - Berry's cafe is excellent as is the Indian restaurant. We also visited Ludlow (very interesting castle) and Much Wenlock (bustling but relaxed). Excellent walks in the area.

Had a lovely stay in the little dingle.

Managed to see most of Shropshire which is beautiful. Unfortunately there was a snail on the roof of the bedroom when we arrived and had been there for a long time. Also the main shower was far too hot and we could not get the temp down. Finally there was no warning that the train line ran past the bottom of the garden! But we did enjoy our stay and the cottage facilities were lovely.

Lovely clean cottage.

However the front room and kitchen are both small and basic. Disappointed to find the cottage was not in the village but at the side of the busy A49 with a very noisy timber mill next door. Unable to go for walks without using the car first as there is no footpath. Also trains run behind the garden.

Overall pleased with the property.

Unfortunately the design means the lounge & kitchen/diner are very small especially if it’s 4 adults or 2+ 2 teenagers. Also it’s regrettable that there is no footpath for approx 400m alongside the dangerous A49 down to the village bus-stop & pub.

The property was clean and tidy ,well decorated and comfortable with good facilities .

The location was easy to find with good main road access to all locations in a popular tourist area .

We had a great stay, and found the cottage beautifully clean and well-equipped.

A wonderful little cottage that suited our needs completely.

The owner came and introduced herself which was a lovely touch. Highly recommended and would certainly book it again.

We stayed for two week very happy with the accommodations and they were happy to help with any thing in the property lovely stay

very clean & tidy well presented, everything is working order, the downside easy to miss as your desciption does not match the reality, sat nav/gps, sent to wrong place needs more to advertise it is there.

But everything else very good, quiet, peaceful & great meals at the pub a few hundred yards away.

A very comfortable cottage, lovely and warm.

We enjoyed sitting in the garden watching the birds. Perfect for walks from the door.

The Dingle had good revues and fully met our expectations.

Charlotte and her husband were very pleasant and helpful when we spoke to them. The Dingle is very comfortable and well presented, would definitely book again.

Little Dingle was ideally located to see surrounding Shropshire Countryside.

It was very well appointed, very clean and most comfortable. Charlotte was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely return sometime. Thank you for a lovely week.

A beautiful cottage, very clean and comfortable and Charlotte made us feel very welcome.

Would definitely recommend. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

The Little Dingle is one of the best we have had accommodation wise.

Everything was spotlessly clean. It offered us every amenity we needed. If we return to the area no hesitation in going back there. Thank you Charlotte.

Great beautiful location.

Well equipped. Friendly owner. Everything you would need.

this cottage far exceeded our expectations all brand new furniture beds bedding fixtures and fitings 5 star accomodation central to allattractions and walks our trips around church stretton and nation trust parks topped off the holiday many thanks to the hosts

From the initial booking with helpful Sykes agent Sue (?

) we had the most wonderful three days here which enabled us to see our grandchildren and family at last!. A lovely cottage recently tastefully refurbished. The owner Charlotte is lovely and came to welcome us. Cottage is clean comfortable and well equipped. Despite being close to A49 and with railway running behind we found it very peaceful here.Thank you!

With our Christmas plans dashed, an alternative was required before the tier system changed again.

This cottage looked like the solution and indeed it was. Well equipped comfortable and warm. We managed to visit some of the more accessible places before the weather turned quite nasty. Our friendly and caring hosts called and calmed our weather worries. On our last day we stayed until the thaw and made our way home. There is do much more to do and will return when the weather improves and the current restrictions are removed. Many thanks to our hosts for making our stay so enjoyable.

Perfect facilities, lovely bungalow, shame about local shops not in walking distance, no washing line, apart from that a very enjoyable stay.

The cottage was very clean and came equipped with everything you could possibly need.

Situated in a very peaceful location not far from local shops in church Stretton, which had some very nice takeaways. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We definitely plan on returning.

Great location very near to Church Stretton, a great little town and close to Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd where there is great walking in the Shropshire hills.

Lovely little cottage.

Nice setting ....everything catered for...plenty room to park your car ....excellent.

Lovely place and it had everything you could possibly need.

The owners obviously recognised the things people need in a rental place and we would highly reccomend this lovely cottage,

very nice cottage ,the bathroom very chili needs a bigger heater .
