Gerry's Place

I would happily have given a full 5 star rating as the place was very comfortable, well equipped and clean but unfortunately being 6'3" tall I could not use all of the bathroom or kitchen facilities without some difficulty!

We spent a wonderful 3 nights stay at Gerrys place in Shropshire and what a stay we had.

Party of 2 adults and a cockapoo, beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings. Host Sarah was very helpful and we can't recommend this cottage and location highly enough. The cottage is located a short 10 to 15 minute walk outside Little Stretton with plenty of hiking / walking options for all levels. Looking forward to returning to Gerrys place in 2027.

Another lovely stay here.

Very light and airy flat. Great location with beautiful views .lots of walks nearby. Very dog friendly and two pubs within walking distance.

Lovely well equipped property in a beautiful location with good access to a range of walks, The veranda provided a lovely place to relax especially as it was extremely hot weather during our stay however the heavy duvet (no alternative) was was not conducive to a good nights sleep.

There was no welcome pack beyond tea, coffee and sugar which is always a disappointment. As the nearest shop is in Church Stretton, a pint of milk would not have gone amiss. There were a lot of dog hairs in evidence on the bedding and floor. The single track road is also quite daunting as passing places were limited. Despite the negatives we really enjoyed our stay at Gerry’s Place.

Loved the studio.

A few things were a bit dirty on arrival, with marked bedding and the shaving mirror in the bathroom not cleaned on the reverse side. Great that they provide washing-up liquid, dishwasher tablets, soap, scourers, etc. The kitchen has very good appliances, and there was always plenty of hot water. Our only main issue was the narrow farm road leading up to the property, which is raised in the middle and could be difficult for some vehicles. Loved our stay and the views were amazing.

We had a lovely stay at Gerry’s Place, great location for walking and a couple of pubs a short walk from the property.

The accommodation was lovely and had everything we needed but gave so much more with all the wildlife attracted to the owners garden. We heard Owls and saw Woodpeckers, rabbits and many garden birds and admired the views.

4th time staying at Garry's Place.

Lovely location and comfortable property.I would strongly recommend a stay here. We really enjoyed walking nearby and 2 friendly pubs 15 minutes walk away Lovely place too if you take your dog. Will be back again soon.

Lovely property with beautiful views, a short walk from Little Stretton.

Well equipped with owner just next door in case we needed anything extra. Bed was large but it may be time for the summer duvet as it did get warm during the night (nice weather in the day time during our stay). Would recommend to anyone visiting Shropshire

Just as described.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, just really lovely. Very rural so besides the sheep there is no noise. Thoroughly enjoyed, thank you.

Great little property for our weekend break.

The listing was accurate. The property is well equipped and made a great base for exploring.

A lovely comfortable, clean, warm and well equipped accommodation.

The dual aspect gave great views in 2 directions of the beautiful Shropshire scenery. Two pubs in the village served lovely food and were easy to walk to. We didn’t see the owner on arrival but Sarah was able to help with the tv when requested. Our only negative comment would be the constant barking of the owners dogs shut in a small pen and kennel in the garden whilst the household were out at work, it was rather irritating.

Lovely and clean.

Host very welcoming and friendly.

Even though everything is in a single open plan room there is more than adequate space with a well-equipped kitchen area.

Great views, especially of the local kites, and only a 15 minute walk from Little Stretton with two excellent pubs.

Excellent, clean and well stocked home set in beautiful surroundings.

We had one request and the owner responded immediately

The stairs were a problem for me and the dogs next door were barking alot early morning etc

A wonderful stay at Gerry’s Place.

Great quiet rural location. Lovely views and very comfortable accommodation. Church Stretton close by with a few nice cafés and shops. 2 nice pubs in Little Stretton both would be walkable in fine weather.

Lovely cosy accomodation for 2.

Very warm, nicely presented, lots of hot water for showers. Sarah (host) very welcoming. Beautiful scenery and walks. Local pub is great & very dog friendly. We found memory foam mattress to be too firm & hot but that is obviously personal comfort, I'm sure others have loved it. Lovely choice for good value mini break

We had a lovely time in the snug loft style accomadation all the things we needed were there it was a short 10minute walk from 2 cracking pubs in the main St through little stretton and as it was up a small lane it was peaceful and the surrounding hills and landscape was very Yes a nice place for a couple .

We met the nearby owner the next morning on arriving and she was helpful and was there to wish us goodbye and a safe trip home yes we were very happy

Lovely peaceful stay.

Mattress was a bit lumpy but still slept well. Really clean with everything I needed. Scruffy and I had a lovely few days. Thank you.

A warm and welcoming place to stay with great views and walks from the door in all directions.

Good facilities and 2 good pubs 10 minutes walk down the road. We especially recommend the Raglath.

It was great.

Definitely recommend and would rebook.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was so peaceful, secure garden for when we let our dog out.

Everything we needed in the accommodation, tastefully decorated, very comfy big bed, wifi, beautiful views. We will be back.

A lovely property.

Very clean and comfortable and well equipped. Great parking. We had a lovely stay and would definitely come again.

It would have been lovely to be able to sit outside in the evenings, chilling out and looking out on the beautiful countryside but instead we were in the middle of a building site, the washing machine and dryer were in the garage, surrounded by wooden building parts, push bikes etc, so couldn't be left unless we stayed in the garage with them.

The bed was rock hard, no couch, just 2 horse shoe shaped chairs, that came up to the armpit, so couldn't settle down, TV had no signal.. not their fault though. Owners never even introduced themselves, not even to say.. hope you enjoy your stay. We left the place 2 days earlier than we should have because we weren't happy there.

I really enjoyed my stay at Gerry’s Place.

It was a bright, clean property offering everything I needed. I particularly appreciated the outlook across fields and hills which was stunning. I enjoyed a week full of walking and exploring the area and much appreciated the food in the two excellent pubs in Little Stretton. There is still so much to see and I hope to return.

Lovely place with a really comfortable bed and perfect views of the Shropshire hills.

Nothing not to like.

Enjoyed our stay having stayed around that area Church Stretton, Ludlow etc many times, the property’s best points are a very large comfortable bed which is always a bonus, a very clean modern property, although it says garden is enclosed its shared with the owner so if your expecting your own private garden it’s not, so it felt a bit uncomfortable, saying that they didn’t make us feel uncomfortable as we never met the owners, from when we arrived to leaving didn’t see a sole, unusual I thought not to say hello, take everything with you as nothing is provided most leave milk etc as a starter.

Over all a very comfortable stay for 2 people and a dog, close to two lovely pubs, the Long Mynd and walks lovely views.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Gerry’s Place, the property was perfect and the area lovely.

We will definitely be coming back.

Stay was excellent.

The cottage was a perfect space for two people and a dog and had everything we needed. The only thing I would say is that the road to and from the cottage is very muddy and without paths, so getting to and from places without a car was a bit tough. It was walkable but us and the dog got filthy in the process as it was a very rainy weekend and as there are no paths, you have to stand in mud to get out of the way of cars, but this isn’t the owners issue. My only issue with the property is that the dining table is collapsible, which made it a little rocky, so we had to be cautious when using it, but that was all. Would stay again!

Found the proximity of the little dog outside in all weathers in a far too tiny enclosure most distressing.

There was the facility to use a washing machine but were only informed on our last day by the cleaner. Found the running of the machine late at night disturbed our sleep and kept us awake due to it being below our bed.

Excellent stay at a perfect property.

The property has everything you need and was ideal for a couple to escape from reality in the peace and quiet of the idyllic surroundings. Property was more spacious than it appears on the photos and was extremely comfortable. The use of the washing machine and dryer in the garage below was a massive help during a rather wet week in the hills. Views from the property were incredible and the owner was lovely.

Lovely stay in Gerry’s Place,very clean everything we needed with lovely views.

Would definitely stay again.

Lovely place overall immaculate,just a couple of small niggles,although the two chairs are virtually new,not very comfortable,also adjacent building work being undertaken we were not made aware of any nearby building work.

Overall perfect holiday cottage with megacomfortable bed,we left one day early due to storm damage in my home village.

The property was well equipped with everything I needed for a very enjoyable stay.

Ideal to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside or visit local towns and villages. The Green Dragon pub in the village was very friendly and welcoming.

Very comfortable.

Just a 0.6 mile walk to the village so no more than 10 mins by foot. The walk itself is enjoyable due to the surroundings. Place itself was well fitted with everything you need. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great stay. Dave and Buddy.

We loved our short stay here and it was fab that we could bring Harvey (our black lab) too.

Such a comfy and cosy space with a couple of great pubs nearby too. Highly recommend!!!

Lovely setting, tranquil, peaceful, fantastic stay.

Very comfortable night sleep.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gerry’s place .

would recommend it too all our friends

Nice modern, clean and spacious accommodation that's in a quiet location but not far away from the villages of Little Stretton and Church Stretton.

Only niggle was barking dogs on a couple of the mornings, which should have been kept indoors at least until later in the morning.

Another first rate experience at Gerry's Place located in a most picturesque, peaceful setting with plenty of parking Spotlessly clean, everything required in place.

Would stay at Gerry's again

Although accommodation is just a single room (apart from the shower and toilet room), this is more than adequate for two people and a dog.

Kitchen facilities and appliances are better than we have had at many conventional self-catering cottages and the room was clean and well-presented when we arrived. Best of all are the views, whilst the skylights in the angled roof, combined with large windows at either end, ensure that the room is never in danger of becoming dismal. We certainly plan to return.

A fantastic holiday home situated in a beautiful, rural location.

The annex was sparkling clean with everything you could think of supplied. Access via a key safe was easy and if there was any issues the owner was available nearby although we had no need at all We would definitely use Gerry's Place again

A very clean, tidy and well appointed annexe with lovely views and situated in a quiet area.

Ample crockery and cutlery for two people! Shower worked lovely and the place was always warm and cosy when we got back from a long walk. The garden was well enclosed and safe for our little dog to run around in and the owner, Sarah, was lovely and helpful. The only small gripe was we wished the two armchairs had higher backs as you cannot rest your head and relax! But that is a personal opinion. Would highly recommend this property for a base to go walking from and visiting around Shropshire as it had all the amenities you would need and was left alone to enjoy your holiday!

Property is ideal location for walkers, nice and clean plus a huge bed.

My only suggestion is it would of been nice to have more plates and cups save putting dish washer on.

A really clean,comfortable well equipped property with great views of the surrounding countryside,a great base to visit the hills and surrounding towns, village has two great pubs with great food really enjoyed our stay shame we didn't get to meet owner

Great little break away .

Beautiful location, local pubs, fantastic food available, very friendly, perfect end to the year. Thankyou ☺️

Gerry’s Place was lovely, exactly as described.

The autumn weather was not good but we were warm and cosy inside. I would certainly stay there again if visiting the area. Being an elderly technophobe I struggled with the tv and to make efficient use of the dishwasher a few more items of crockery/cutlery would be needed but we just resorted to old-fashioned washing up. All in all, 5 stars!

What absolutely beautiful accommodation!

It is totally perfect....and the views are just amazing. It is fitted out to an excellent standard and the hosts have literally thought of everything. Loved it. Thankyou.

A very pleasant stay in a beautiful area with enjoyable walks and a wide variety of birdlife.

Sarah did a pickup and drop off at the rail station which was much appreciated. Regarding the microwave a glass bowl or dish would have been useful for heating food items.

Really lovely studio property slap bang in the middle of some beautiful countryside.

The property has windows both sides allowing the view to be appreciated, especially early mornings while in the very comfortable bed with a cup of tea. Not far from Rectory woods, shops etc. The property provides more kitchen utensils I've ever seen, even a rolling pin, which I needed, strangely enough

Great place to stay,spotless,everything you need,lovely quiet location,only 10 mins walk down the lane to 2 great pubs that served food,great location for walking and exploring,close to Ludlow

Sarah has set up a lovely place for visitors to stay.

The accommodation is faultless and very well presented. The super king bed was luxurious. Both pubs in the village are highly recommended for food and drink though the lane from Gerry’s place is only a single track we decided not to walk with our four month old baby. Other places to visit include the Carding Mill Valley for spectacular scenery, Church Stretton has some lovely coffee shops and walks in Rectory woods. The Shropshire Discovery Centre was excellent with lovely walks with our dog and baby, a fantastic cafe and shop and a great museum. Stokesay castle has an amazing timber built gatehouse and Ludlow castle was worth a visit. Ludlow in itself is very beautiful as is Much Wenlock. Gerry’s place was an ideal base to explore all of this as a family. Only down side was that from the property, although very rural, there were no footpaths without having to negotiate the lane for around 0.3 of a mile, not far but not easy with an ageing dog and a young baby.

This property is a new well built studio with first-rate fittings and utensils for your use.

It is faultlessly clean ,which is easy to maintain, plus a huge comfy bed. It has a friendly , helpful host and surrounded by farmland. There are many dog friendly pubs nearby and walks such as Carding Mill Valley and resevoir only 2 miles away in Church Stretton. It also has Woodland walks too. Church Stretton also has a Fish & Chip shop , a Chinese and Indian takeaway. Perfect place for a two person getaway.

Very clean and comfortable home providing everything required, perfectly situated for exploring Church Stretton, the Long Mynd and Shropshire Hills.

The property is lovely and so well equipped.

Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable with plenty of room to stretch out. The only negative is that the property is advertised as having a private garden which it doesn't. There is a wooden table and bench set overlooking the owner's house. Whilst she is a lovely person, we would have liked somewhere to sit that was private. However, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rural retreat.

The owners provided an excellent living accommodation with great attention to detail with regards to cooking utensils, toiletries and linen.

The property was spotless and the super king bed a real treat. However, Sykes advertise the property as having a private garden, with a patio. The photos lead us to believe the property is in its own grounds. In reality it is 20 yards from the owners’ own home and is totally overlooked. We had to keep a blind shut at all times so that we couldn’t be overlooked. We did not have a garden, as the one adjacent to the property belongs to the owners. The “patio” is a path around the property. The owners kindly offered us the use of a field adjacent to their garden, however it was overgrown and full of rubble and at times, had sheep in it so we could not let our dog into it. On sunny days we felt “on show” if we sat outside, as the owner was sitting in her garden and we felt like we were encroaching on her space - however she at no point made us feel uncomfortable, this was just how we felt. Had we known the property was in the owners’ garden - and also on the same site as another holiday cottage - we would not have booked. We do not blame the owners at all - they did everything we could to make us welcome. Sykes; please make your listings accurate. We have tried to get in touch with you to complain, however there is no option to do so. We would like to email you accurate photos of the property and for you to explain why your listing was falsely advertising the property.

Gerry’s Place is a lovely place to stay, immaculately clean.

Beautifully presented, the most comfortable bed. Sarah was very helpful with local information, re walks, pubs. We had a very relaxing and peaceful stay.
