“I wanted a quiet getaway and that was just what it was.”

A lovely rural retreat but at the same time it was easy access to needed facilities. 50 yards to the pub for a start. The accommodation had all I wanted. Lots of lovely walks in the Shropshire Hills right on the doorstep.

Rev Charlesworth October 2020

“A delightful, comfortable and well located cottage; close to a pub with good food and with a variety of rewarding walks from the door.”

The lack of a washing machine was the only downside.

Rev Wigley July 2020

“Owners very friendly and helpful.”

Property had wonderful walks, 2 pubs and a church on the doorstep- it couldn't have been more convenient. We had a lovely time, an antidote to the months of lockdown.

“Brilliant stay”

I stayed in this lodge with my husband and teenager. The lodge was immaculate and had plenty of storage space for our stay. The owners gave us a very warm welcome and had left cake and tea, coffee and milk for a much needed cuppa after a long drive. All we needed was provided including many extras such as washing up liquid, dvds, games and books. The village had two pubs both of which we sampled and the food was very good. I would definitely recommend a stay at Ashes Lodge as there are many places to visit a short drive away and the lodge was very comfortable

Mrs Pullen July 2019

“The chalet was lovely, well equipped, a quiet area but within easy driving distance of all the sights and a few minutes walk from The Long Mynd.”

The owners were very friendly and accommodating, we would happily stay there again.

Mrs Harding July 2019

“The chalet was fabulous.”

It was extremely clean and well equipped. We had a very warm welcome and an added extra of lovely cake and tea, coffee and milk ready for a much welcome cuppa. The area was lovely, the village quiet with two pubs selling great food..... We sampled both. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this chalet to others

Mrs Heyworth July 2018

“Lovely accommodation in a lovely village,.”

Mr and Mrs Humpheries were the perfect hosts. We really appreciated the milk and cakes on arrival. Ashes Lodge has a lovely South facing garden with a well equipped summer house which was great to sit in for breakfast. The lodge was equipped to a very high standard and very clean and tidy. There are two pubs in the village, the Green Dragon served excellent food. Two highlights of the village was a walk through the campsite into the valley following the small stream and the other spotting the trout in the stream on the way to the pub. Little Stretton is ideally situated for a hilly cycling holiday as well as in a great position for getting to the local towns and attractions. Thank you for an enjoyable week.

Mrs Robinson May 2018

“Wonderful location, welcoming owners (thank you for the delicious cup cakes and pint of milk on arrival!”

); comfy beds and everything you could need supplied. The heating is very effective too although we hardly needed it! The pub opposite is great for a meal (best to book) or a quick drink and I had a lovely natter with families staying at the nearby campsite while our kids bounced on the huge trampolines in the pub garden! I suspect we will be back for a 3rd visit!

Mr Wheatley May 2018

“A clean and comfortable little chalet in a lovely location, central for some excellent walks from the doorstep.”

- Mr Wheatley, May 2018
Mr Cooling May 2018

“What is not clear from the description and photos is that this cottage has a small private south facing garden that overlooks farmland.”

That was a real bonus. Very helpful owners with excellent knowledge of local walks. Very well situated for walking in the area. Bus stop nearby and the shuttle bus which runs at weekends in the summer from Carding Mill Valley. We had a wonderful week.

“A very comfortable stay in a well equipped property.”

Attention to detail by the owners was excellent and very friendly with a lovely welcome pack. We had great weather and enjoyed walking in lovely countryside, sometimes straight from the village. There were excellent pubs with food in the village and good cooking facilities in the lodge.

Ms Lowe February 2015

“Absolutely fantastic accommodation which was a pleasure to stay in.”

Clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped. A stay in February meant some cold days and nights but the property was very cosy and warm. The main room is south facing over farmland so there is plenty of natural light and the lane is very quiet so we were not disturbed by anything at night and slept very well. The owners were very welcoming and helpful but not intrusive. Perfect. Would definitely go back again if visiting the area.
