  • "The cottage was well kept and clean, we both had a lovely short break and would highly recommend this property."

    The only slight problem was that we found the heating a little difficult to use and the bathroom was cold until we worked out how to use the storage radiator.

  • "Fantastic cottage, the perfect size for 2 people in a lovely picturesque village with 2 lovely pubs."

    Perfect place to explore the surrounding area and close to the railway station in Church Stretton. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable with a lovely outdoor area to sit with a glass of wine in the sun. Can recommend staying here for a week and the hosts were lovely and on hand to help or answer any questions and left us with a welcome gift and some home made biscuits which were delicious.

    Thank you for your generous comments on Manor Cottage. We’re so pleased. You enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    The kitchen was well equipped. A couple of games and DVDs would have been welcomed but this did not spoil anything about our stay. Staying in Little Stretton was so convenient for walking the Long Mynd and having dinner at The Ragleth Inn.
