Mrs Clelland March 2020

“This cottage is one of the best we’ve stayed in.”

This is our second visit and I don’t think it will be our last. The cottage is so clean,comfortable and very well equipped. There’s nothing you need that is not provided for. The little village of Little Stretton is beautiful,very old and has two very good pubs that serve brilliant food. Well done Claire for providing such a beautiful,comfy cottage.

- Mrs Clelland, March 2020
Mr Williams January 2020

“Jessamine Cottage was cosy and welcoming.”

It was very clean, comfortable and well ordered plus we were provided with a excellent pack groceries for breakfast and more, very much appreciated. It is in a good location, close to a lovely pub with very good food at good prices. We had an excellent weekend break with our dog. We would thoroughly recommend the property.

Mr Kirsopp September 2019

“Jessamine cottage is set in the beautiful village of Little Stretton and was an absolute pleasure to live in for a week.”

It was without doubt the most well equipped cottage we have stayed in so far and the owner has obviously put a lot of thought into what her guests might need. The cottage is situated very near to one of two pubs in the village and although it is an extremely busy pub, don,t let that put you off, we never heard any noise, even when I took the dog out last thing at night. Both pubs have very good menus and are very dog friendly. There are some lovely walks near at hand and the views from the top of the hills are well worth the effort of getting up there. The near by village of Church Stretton is worth a visit and has some lovely shops, there is also a market on a Thursday and although is quite small, it has some great produce. I can recommend Jessamine cottage to anyone and look forward to another visit in the future.

- Mr Kirsopp, September 2019
Mr Harmer June 2019

“Excellent, homely cottage and very well equipped.”

Great location, felt secluded yet within a minutes walk two fantastic pubs and superb countryside/walking country and a 5 minute drive to nearby market town of Church Stretton- whats not to like! Had a great week at Jessamine cottage, sad to leave and another great Sykes holiday which to be honest we have come to expect now after using you for so long, hence the entry above. Already booked another Sykes holiday for next year in North Yorkshire Moors, cant wait!

- Mr Harmer, June 2019
Mrs Draper March 2019

“Jessamine cottage was ideally situated for us, as we like to walk & cycle from the door without the need to take the car to a suitable spot.”

The cottage is very close to local bus stops, which means getting to Church Stretton & place further afield relatively easy. The cottage was very comfortable & had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Claire had left a grocery welcome pack & there were fresh flowers in the lounge, a lovely homely touch.

- Mrs Draper, March 2019
Mr Horne March 2019

“Jessamine Cottage is a very well presented cottage in the cosy heart of a lovely village.”

The countryside around and about is beautiful and there are plenty of amenities nearby (2 pubs in the village and shops in near-by Church Stretton). The cottage and the area are highly recommended and we hope to return soon.

- Mr Horne, March 2019

Mrs Veasey November 2018

“This was our 5th visit to this cottage and we still love it.”

We love the location, (for us it's only an hour and a half from home), it's in a quiet village but walking distance to Church Stretton, where there are shops/restaurants etc. It's a lovely little market town. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. You can easily access some fabulous walks. There are 2 pubs close by serving lovely meals. The cottage itself is cosy and feels like home from home. It's always spotlessly clean and has everything you need there. We love the log burner at this time of year it's lovely getting back from a day's walking to light the fire.The owner leaves a lovely welcome pack of food supplies. We will be returning!

- Mrs Veasey, November 2018

It was an ideal location with great walks from the cottage and two lovely dog friendly pubs, one only 10 paces across the road. Ironbridge and Ludlow are a must to visit.

- Mrs Veasey, October 2014
gordon b September 2014

“Wonderfully quiet and excellently equiped cottage in village centre”

This two bedroom cottage is good enough to live in full time. Well equiped with dishwasher and washing machine and sky tv. Dog very friendly with secure front garden where you park car; there are gates. Main bedroom has double bed and second has adult bunk beds so if two couples go you will have to toss. There is I think a sofa bed in lounge. There is a separate dining room, a real plus. Best of all 40 yards away is Raglan Arms on of two pubs in village. But as round corner not noisy and it is a wonderful gastro pub. The cottage is a touch expensive but if you book you will see why. Area wonderfull with good walking and Ludlow nearby.

- gordon b, September 2014
Mrs Pritchard June 2014

“The Cottage was enchanting, just how you would imagine a country cottage to be.”

Mr Burnett June 2014

“Area, accommodation and garden were all great and the cottage was well equipped.”

- Mr Burnett, June 2014
Miss Kaye June 2014

“Jessamine is real gem of a cottage.”

Extra little touches and attention to detail by the owner really make it a special cottage in a beautiful and relatively undiscovered part of the country. Two excellent pubs very close by serving delicious meals and great local beers. (One of the pubs is only a 40 second walk away!!) We really enjoyed our stay and had some lovely walks in the surrounding countryside. The locals are very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly return.

- Miss Kaye, June 2014
Mr Johnson May 2014

- Mrs Partner, April 2014
DurhamSpartan March 2014

“Very good cottage”

The cottage is very well appointed, with a log burner for chilly evenings. The welcome pack was a bonus, as was the home made flapjack! There is loads of information in the cottage including walks from the village itself, as well as those locally. There is lots to see without driving far, such as Ludlow, Shrewsbury, Long Mynd, Much Wenlock and Bridgenorth. The two pubs in the village are good, with the Green Dragon serving very reasonably priced and excellent bar food. The conservatory porch was lovely on sunny afternoons, when it was still a bit chilly outside. Would definitely go back.

“Fantastic holiday cottage!”

This place deserves a 5 star rating in our opinion. The cottage is wonderfully clean and well equipped and the owner provided so many extras that made the holiday so enjoyable and stress free. The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the information pack covered all eventualities and contained much more than we had expected. All equipment had instructions which made life much easier and staying there was relaxing,the holiday was a REAL holiday with no stress and hassle. The owner was so welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. We highly recommend this fabulous cottage and all the beautiful countryside around it, the dogs loved all the walks and Church Stretton was a wonderful town to visit, full of character and interesting shops. This spot is ideal for exploring the area as it is central and in easy reach of Ludlow, Bridgenorth, Ironbridge and Shrewsbury, all worth a visit.
