Goosepond

Ellie popped round to say hello and to make sure we had everything we needed.

.The information pack was a huge help...we went exploring. It is a clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage... I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet, restful and calming break away from it all. The dogs loved snoozing on the patio on their blankets, and we enjoyed a snoozeor two on the chairs provided! The walk from the cottage down into the village, left and then along the R/H farm lane was really enjoyable... All in all a perfect place to rest weary bones

This was our second stay at Goosepond & we had a brilliant time.

The cottage is well-equipped and in a lovely location so we had the best of both worlds (peaceful location & plenty to explore locally). Fully recommend!

We’d looked forward to our stay at Goosepond for a fair while and we weren’t disappointed.

The cottage was perfect. The location was so peaceful - we were blessed with a week of sunshine so enjoyed sitting outside in the small, courtyard garden on some really comfortable garden furniture. Ellie and Joe had thought of pretty much everything - the cottage was so well equipped and as hosts they were both so kind and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here at Goosepond .

A lovely cottage, more spacious than we anticipated.

Very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed sitting on the terrace. Everything very nicely done. It's advertised as dog friendly but there were no dog hairs on the furniture - everything was very clean and lovely. The owners were very friendly and we much appreciated tea and cake in the welcome pack on arrival. We did some long-ish walks from the property: Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge, Ragleth Hill. It was perfectly located for that. Only downside would be for nervous drivers - narrow roads to approach the property. Overall, we would highly recommend it and would love to have stayed longer.

We absolutely loved Goosepond.

It was perfect for the two of us & our dog, in a really peaceful, rural setting. The floor was tiled, so very practical, and the underfloor heating & log burner would have been very cosy, but we were blessed with beautiful weather, and were easily able to keep cool too.

The cottage is situated in a small, quiet village, but a short drive down narrow lanes brings you to a bigger road and access to picturesque towns and places of interest.

Nearer to the cottage there are many walks of varying lengths, which we and our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed. Ellie and Joe, the owners, live next door and are friendly and very helpful. They have provided plenty of information leaflets and maps to help make the most of your stay and a welcome pack of food essentials was much appreciated. The cottage itself is spacious, warm and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen and an enormous bed! We would have liked better weather to be able to enjoy the outside seating area too. We are very pleased that we chose to stay at Goosepond and would thoroughly recommend it.

This beautiful tucked away cottage, is a delight to stay in.

Very comfortable and well equipped. We loved the walks from the door. Made very welcome with a generous hamper to greet us. The pictures hardly do enough credit to this great spot for a country holiday. Excellent non every front. Thank you both so much. We laughed so much watching the lambs gamboling in the field above the cottage

A beautiful cottage in a perfect village.

location. The property had everything we needed, and plenty of space. The kitchen was very well equipped and had all we needed for.cooking. The pretty courtyard was perfect for sitting out in the sun with very comfy garden chairs. Would definitely recommend Goosepond.

We love this cottage, it is perfect for the two of us and our dogs to enjoy the many wonderful walks this area offers as well as a great place to come back to and relax.

Plenty of room, a nice sunny courtyard to sit out in (rain permitting!!), a wood burner for chilly nights, although the underfloor heating is enough to make the cottage warm and cosy. This is not our first visit and it won't be our last!

We had a lovely relaxing week at Goosepond, which was very comfortable and had everything we needed Joe and Ellie made us feel really welcome.

A fabulous hideaway in a perfectly central location for exploring the Shropshire Hills.

It sits in a small hamlet well off the beaten track, but has everything that you'd need for a comfortable stay. We visited in Autumn, the area is beautiful and Goosepond itself is warm, comfortable and very spacious for the two of us and a large dog. We have no hesitation in recommending this property very highly.

Lovely quiet, very comfortable accommodation.

Tucked away from busy roads. There was everything we needed for a week's stay. Bed very comfy and the underfloor heating excellent and controllable. It was wonderful to see the host had provided an extensive range of information leaflets and maps which helped us get so much from this lovely part of the country.

As usual a lovely stay, from the local walk up the country lanes the proximity to Church Stretton, Ludlow both full of great coffee shops & pubs, Goosepond is a homely warm place to stay, the bed is huge and so comfy, great shower, cannot fault the contact with owners, patio great if your taking a dog.

Stayed many times and hopefully will again Thanks Ellie

We loved our stay at Goose Pond.

So much so we’ve already booked for next year! The cottage is in a peaceful location. Really well equipped. Nice & clean. Loved the relaxed decor. Ellie the owner is lovely, welcoming but not intrusive. We enjoyed local strips to Church Stretton, Carding Mill (go early), Attingham Park, went to Shrewsbury on the train from Church Stretton. Our favourite day trip was to see the red kites feeding at Gigrin farm, just over an hour away. Really recommend as a base to relax and explore from xx

A gem of a place!

Just one bedroom but so spacious and comfy in a perfect spot to check out the area and walks from the door which is a great bonus for those, like us, with energetic dogs. The hosts are lovely, helpful and friendly. This was our third visit and we will most certainly be back.

Loved our stay at Goosepond.

Lovely host Ellie, always on hand if needed but not intrusive. Lovely property, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great base for visiting Shropshire. Lovely walks from the cottage. On a quiet country lane. Shops, takeaway and pub 10mins drive. Small enclosed patio which was lovely for sitting in with our dogs on sunny mornings and evenings with a bottle of wine. The only thing I would have liked were some comfy chairs to sit outside, because the first few days were 30 degrees and it was too hot to venture out with the dogs, so we spent a lot of time chilling at the cottage. Luckily we had a couple of camping chairs in the van so we used them. Apart from that everything was perfect and I would recommend this property.

We really enjoyed staying at Goosepond.

One of the nicest cottages we've been to. It was very clean and the bed is very comfy. We loved the layout, decor and thoughtfulness of it. A door curtain to keep flies out would be a good idea as we had the door open most of the time. We enjoyed getting to know a totally new area for us but really enjoyed getting back to the cottage each day for a relaxing evening. The enclosed patio meant our dog could spend time outside safely as well.

Extremely comfortable in a beautiful cottage.

Really lovely hosts, most welcoming.

A comfortable cottage, warm and cosy.

Huge double bed, I lost my wife more than once!

We enjoyed our time at the cottage.

It had what we needed for our stay and was well presented and clean. Due to business closures the information needed updating but this was not a real issue. Thank you to the owners.

A delightful barn conversion in a very pretty upland hamlet in the beautiful Shropshire Hills.

Apart from an initial problem with soil bedding, which was solved quickly . This 2 roomed property fits the bill inside. However , the small outside area, although contained for our dogs , is within feet of a country lane that is used as a rat run for both delivery drivers and locals alike. Travelling at speed this spooked the dogs and made a quiet cuppa in the lovely sunny weather impossible.

Perfect cottage for two along with our dogs.

Lovely location, lots of walks, many straight from the door. Cottage is comfortable and has everything we needed for our stay. This was our third visit and we will be back.

Very well equipped and comfortable little cottage.

A fabulous spacious and comfortable cottage.

Had everything we needed. Was lovely to soak in a bath after long days walking. Its location is ideal for exploring a most beautiful part of Shropshire. Will be returning at some point in the future

Lovely cottage very quiet for a relaxing holiday.

Would recommend to anyone. We really enjoyed the walks.Joe the owner was very helpful would go again.

We had a lovely stay at Goosepond cottage, it is in a very quiet location with all the comforts needed for our holiday.

The milk, eggs and cake left by our hosts were very welcome after a long drive, they also lived close by if anything else was needed.

Goosepond is a hidden gem.

. A lovely calming relaxing cottage. Beautifully equipped to a high standard..(soft towels comfy bed plenty of hot water & heating as & when required)with everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Tucked away in a quiet peaceful hamlet. A perfect little patio to sit outside with a morning coffee & enjoy the birdsong & fresh air. Ellie made us feel very welcome. A perfect little hideaway!!

Fantastic stay in a wonderful cottage.

Also terrific value. We certainly unwound and loved local walks. The information pack was brilliant.

Goosepond is a very pretty spacious and comfortable cottage in a beautiful location in Shropshire.

The wood burning stove makes it cosy and creates a special place. We would highly recommend a stay if visiting the area and do recommend dinner at the Station Inn a few minutes away by car. Ellie was easy to contact and the cleaning was spotless.

We were looking for a peaceful place to recharge our batteries over the Easter break & the Goosepond did not disappoint, the property is very clean & comfortable, nicely decorated & well laid out with everything you need for a relaxing time.

The kitchen is so well equipped with all the utensils, pans, crockery you need. There’s also a huge comfy bed & powerful shower & we loved the log burner, like home from home. The enclosed garden/patio area was perfect for our senior dog & for enjoying our morning coffee listening to the birds & there’s a good parking space straight outside. We had a very warm & friendly welcome from Joe & Ellie & the milk & Easter egg was such a lovely touch on arrival. We highly recommend this property set in a peaceful & friendly location that is in easy reach for shops, pubs & some gorgeous walks, we particularly loved the Shropshire Hills, we definitely hope to return in the future.

Excellently appointed cottage with everything required for a really comfortable stay.

Quiet location, dog friendly and very clean. Excellent base for exploring the beautiful countryside of the Shropshire Hills. Thank you Elliefor a lovely stay! Would highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderfully located cottage in the heart of the Shorpshire Hills.

Ideally located for many wonderful towns, villages and places of interest. A warm welcome greeted us on arrival, with eggs, cake and milk. Thank you Ellie for a wonderful time, we will be back.

Loved Goosepond.

Lovely host, great place, ticked all our boxes and we have many! Highly recommend, don't hesitate to go, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Ellie for the warm welcome and the milk, eggs, cake etc.

We were very pleased with Goosepond - clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Owner Ellie very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend the cottage.

Wow!

What a lovely cottage Goosepond is. Ellie goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. We all (2 adults and 2 dogs) felt very welcome. Goosepond is certainly the cleanest cottage we have stayed in and with a great range of utensils for home cooking. The shower is amazing and the bed is very comfortable. We have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and would definitely return!

Excellent cottage and location, we will look forward to booking it again next year.

Comfortable, clean, everything we needed for self catering, lovely part of the world, so much to do close by. Owners are very friendly (and lovely dogs!). Would highly recommend.

Ideal holiday property.

Spacious and airy. Had all the cooking equipment we needed. A problem with the television was dealt with promptly. Loved it!

Brilliant cottage, well equipped, everything you might think you need was provided.

Nice welcome cake, milk and local eggs. Ellie was there when needed but in no way intrusive. Fabulous week, fabulous accommodation.

Lovely owners of cottage in an idyllic area.

Well equipped and well positioned for walking in the Shropshire Hills as well as visits to surrounding towns and citiies.

Cottage was lovely and welcoming with great underfloor heating we didn't need to even light the log burner.

Very comfortable bed and great shower. Joe and Ellie great hosts, there when needed but not intrusive.

Stayed at Goosepond over Christmas and it was fabulous.

Everything you need home from home. Tastefully decorated throughout with beautiful touches you really just need to take yourselves, clothing and food. The cottage was decorated with a tree and a wonderful welcome basket on arrival. Plenty of walks nearby and plenty to do in the local area. Wonderful stay we will be visiting again

Lovely conversion: comfortable, well equipped, and warm.

Beautiful surroundings, we had a really restful Autumn break.

Lovely warm cosy cottage, immaculately clean, quiet location and lots of nearby walks.

Our dog loved the underfloor heating!

Really enjoyed our stay at Goosepond Cottage.

The layout and decor was as shown on the photographs, making our stay very comfortable, and the carrot cake, eggs and milk were a nice touch left by Ellie (the owner). The cottage is in a perfect location with quiet and tranquil surroundings, making for a relaxed holiday. There are many attractive sites and walking routes can be found nearby, which were excellent for us and our dog. On a clear night the sky is just superb! We would definitely recommend!

Hosts welcoming.

The cottage was very warm and cosy with excellent bathroom. Comfy Bed. We shall be returning at some point

A very comfy cosy cottage, immaculately clean providing everything you could wish for.

We really enjoyed our stay at Goosepond.

A comfortable bed, zingy shower and plenty of space for the two of us and our greyhound Ollie. The cottage is in the hamlet of Woolston and was a lovely peaceful place to relax - there are lots of walks nearby (although some have stiles, so not always appropriate for long-legged hounds!) The little enclosed patio at the front was a nice place for morning tea, or evening wine, and Ollie loved having his breakfast out there too! Woolston is only a few minutes drive (down typical narrow Shropshire lanes) to the main road and a great location for exploring the nearby Long Mynd, and towns such as Bishops Castle and Ludlow. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely stay at Goosepond.

The cottage stayed cool during a very hot week. Great to sit out on the patio in the evenings with the sun going down. Super comfortable bed I didn't want to get out of but the powerful shower made it worth the effort!! It's in a perfect location for exploring Shropshire. We'll definitely rebook if we are in that area again.

The cottage and location were perfect, so comfortable and hosts very friendly and welcoming.

So much to see in this beautiful area.

A lovely quiet place , so comfortable, warm and is surprisingly large for sleeping 2.

Highly recommend

Second time we have been to Goosepond (Oct & May) - Lovely quiet location, ideal for 2 of us and our spaniel.

All on one level, tiled floor warm with underfloor heating and enclosed patio area. Lots of local walks, close to Church Stretton, Carding Mill valley, Long Mynd, Ludlow and National Trust at Croft Castle, Berrington Hall & Attingham Park. Nice dog friendly pubs & cafes, Plough at Wistanstow, Green Dragon at Little Stretton, Kings Arms & Berry's in Church Stretton. Very relaxing break - enjoyed it.

Property easy to find, parking outside of property off the road, parking on left side of drive.

Light, clean and spacious, decent shower and huge bed. Maybe a washing machine if I’m being picky but has a dishwasher ! A must these days. Walks all round the area, “Shropshire way” a short drive or long walk to get on it. Check out the map it goes on for ever. All in all a brilliant place, get it booked you won’t be disappointed.

As always the most welcoming and comfortable stay.

A compact but fabulous cottage, we have stayed in so many where the bed lets down the property, not in this case. We are already planning our return, sorry for not completing the visitors book we were too relaxed and forgot.

Lovely property, very comfortable and peaceful and well equipped.

Very generous welcome hamper that was greatly appreciated. Very friendly host.

This was our third stay at the lovely goosepond, and as always it was clean and ready for us.

A small welcome of eggs, milk and cake were provided and devoured. Goosepond is our place to recharge and enjoy some quiet time. Will be returning in January hopefully!!

Beautiful cosy cottage and equally beautiful village.

Good facilities, clean and comfortable.

Super, quiet country location in a small hamlet off main A49 between Church Stretton and Ludlow.

Great location for touring Shropshire. Accommodation is bigger inside than it looks from photos with a large and comfortable kitchen/living room and large double bedroom with kingsize double bed. Ellie very welcoming host and lovely welcome pack much appreciated!

Lovely comfortable cottage in a great location, especially if you are keen walkers.

Some excellent pubs and restaurants in the area and plenty of National Trust and English Heritage sites to visit.

Beautiful comfortable cottage in a quiet hamlet.

The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. Plenty of Walks from the door. Very close to Church Stratton and Carding Mill Valley.

Wonderful holiday.

Cottage perfect. So peaceful and cosy.

Goosepond was one of the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in.

A great location for enjoying the Shropshire hills and highlights.

Goosepond Cottage was lovely and spotlessly clean and well equipped and was located in one of the most peaceful places we have stayed in on our visits to Shropshire.

Our hosts Ellie & Joe were really lovely too. We are planning to visit this cottage again as soon as we are able too.

Goosepond is a fantastic place to stay.

It's spotlessly clean, very comfortable and all the facilities you need. The owner Ellie is very helpful and the cottage is situated in a quiet peaceful location, ideal for a relaxing holiday. There are lovely walks and plenty of attractions nearby for travelling by car. Would highly recommend Goosepond

Goosepond is a lovely cottage set in a beautiful, quiet location ideally situated for walking in the Shropshire Hills.

The cottage itself is spotless, bright with high ceilings, with lovely decor. It is roomy for 2 people and a dog. Large and very comfortable bed was perfect after a long day walking. Ellie was a wonderful host, and the cake, eggs and milk when we arrived were very welcomed. The cottage has everything you need including a Nespresso machine (and pods to get you started; cafetière supplied as well), dishwasher tabs, full size fridge/freezer, etc. The patio area is secure for a small dog, and is perfect for drinks/dinner when the weather is warm. We had a lovely time and can’t wait to return!

A cosy, comfortable former pigsty.

Lovely to have a proper size fridge freezer. Kitchen was well equipped and unlike many hosts, Ellie provided all you'd need in terms of dishwasher tabs, nespresso coffee pods etc. A fabulous welcome pack too. Bedroom and bathroom were spacious and bed linens/towels were good quality - it's these things I like. Great location. 10 mins to Church Stretton/Craven Arms. Glorious walking country and so quiet and peaceful. Wonderful week away.

So comfortable spotlessly clean and set a the most stunningly beautiful place will be returning in future thankyou ellie and family

This is the second time we have stayed at Goosepond.

An excellent holiday cottage for couples. Clean, well equipped and cosy. Can't fault it.

What a fantastic cottage and situated in a fantastic area.

The cottage is spotlessly clean and the deco is beautiful. No need to take anything here everything has been thought. Ellie is a fantastic host and made our Christmas. We will be booking again. This is certainly a must go to cottage. And plenty to do with your 4 legged freind

Great hospitality - good location for exploring shropshire

The cottage was beautiful.

We loved the decor, the bed was large and extremely comfortable , the courtyard was sunny and secure and it was pristine inside. Would definitely come back, we had a peaceful and perfect couple of days. Ellie the owner was very helpful and thoughtful .

The cottage was everything you could wish for, from the super comfortable bed and bedding to the fresh eggs, milk and cake left by the owner to welcome us.

We'll be back!

We really enjoyed our holiday at Goosepond.

It was very clean and comfortable with excellent facilities. The shower was particularly good and the beds allowed for an excellent nights sleep. It was lovely to sit out on the patio in the morning for breakfast and listen to the sounds of the countryside and in the evening it was great to make use of the BBQ. As it was all on one level it was quick to move from one room to another. The cottage was ideally placed to visit a good variety of interesting places and walks. The owners were welcoming and very helpful and quickly responded to any quieries that we had. As to improvements I can only say that it would be helpful to have a little more intruction as to what to do with the rubbish and recyling and what day it would be collected. It wasn't immediately obvious as to where the bins were or which ones to use for what. We would definitely be keen to visit again!

Beautiful cottage very clean starter pack left of tea/coffee/milk/eggs/bread/cake which was a lovely touch.

The road to the cottage is a little challenging one track with passing places very near local pub when your allowed to socialise. Would recommend and stay again.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Owner left cake and coffee/tea/milk for us to have a welcome cuppa on arrival (plus fresh bread and eggs). She also popped over to check we had everything we needed and answer any questions we might have. The property is ideally situated for exploring the shropshire area, although you have to negotiate some very narrow lanes to get to main road... fun when you meet a car coming in the opposite direction! Thankfully when we first arrived it was still daylight. Our dog was able to pop out onto the patio when needed as it securely fenced. Huge comfy bed, log burner (logs provided) and underfloor heating all a big plus. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if visiting the area in future.

This little cottage was absolutely perfect for me, my boyfriend and our dog.

We had a fantastically relaxed week and can’t wait to return in October!!

Goosepond is a lovely place to stay.

Cottage was warm, cosy and beautifully furnished. Plenty to do within easy reach. Little touches like fresh eggs (from up the road) and homemade Christmas cake made it special. Thanks to host, Ellie!

Brilliant place to stay, very clean and warm if the weather is right there are so many places to walk to from the cottage.

Ellie was brilliant left us eggs, milk , bread and carrot cake which was tp die for, dog thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

Goosepond is a beautifully appointed cottage set in a peaceful rural area.

If you want to relax far from the madding crowd then this is the ideal spot. Woolston is populated with charming people who were all very friendly and for the week, they made us feel belonged!

Goosepond is a lovely cottage could not fault anything.

Comfortable and clean one of the best kitchens I've stayed in for a holiday cottage. All three of us being gluten free we have to be very careful with using the kitchen but can honestly say we were fine at Goosepond. Even managed to bake cakes and sausage rolls for us. Ellie and Joe were on holiday when we arrived but made sure we had everything we needed by emailing me from their holiday all we needed to know plus family contact number. Came to check all ok on their return and were busy making sure grounds were back up to scratch.

Goosepond is a lovely little cottage just perfect for two people.

The location is ideal for exploring the glorious Shropshire countryside. As holiday cottages go, this was one of the best we have stayed in.

A lovely location for exploring the surrounding area

Lovely comfortable spotlessly clean well equipped cottage set in a peaceful little village.

Would have no hesitation in recommending Goosepond.

A very cosy and comfortable cottage.

Ideal for us and the dogs, being a good base for walking.

Goosepond should be a MUST on everyone's list!

It's like a tardis as you enter. Bigger than anticipated, so welcoming, so nicely and tastefully furnished. A vast array of goodies as a Welcome, ours included tea, coffee, bottle of milk, Carrot cake, a crusty loaf, butter and half a dozen eggs, just amazing. The bed was, by far, the best we have ever slept in. Everything was just perfect. Ellie is the perfect hostess in providing all to make a short or long stay the best.

Had a lovely stay.

Beautiful place. Very well equipped and extremely comfortable. We loved how spacious Goosepond was, yet was still very homely. The enclosed courtyard was gorgeous to sit in and enjoy but is also brilliant for dogs. We loved that we could open the door and know they were safe. Beautiful relaxing quiet location and perfect for touring Shropshire. We would love to return and have recommend Goosepond to friends and family.

We have stayed in many cottages over the years and can honestly say Goosepond was the best one by far!

We both said we could live easily live in it. It was very comfy and well equipped for our stay. Underfloor heating, a brilliant shower and the biggest most comfortable bed ever! It's situated in a very quiet village with plenty of interesting walks on the doorstep, but close enough to local shops (1.5 miles) and so many beautiful and historic places of interest within 15 to 30 miles. Shropshire is the most beautiful place and the cottage just made our holiday! Thank you Ellie!

Great cottage, peaceful location, great for walks and close to many lovely places to visit.

Hosts, Ellie and Jo, were very helpful. Great welcome. Homemade scones were a lovely touch. We would highly recommend Goosepond!

Lovely cottage very comfortable, clean and warm would like to return sometime in the future.

The owners are very friendly. Would be happy to recommend to friends.

My stay at this charming cottage, in the depth of winter, was a joy.

Ellie had left a generous welcome pack, and later popped in for a personal welcome. Goose pond was warm, well equipped with a fine bed and plenty of hot water and felt tranquil and airy. The surrounding countryside is stunning with good walks both on the doorstep and beyond.

Goosepond is a hidden gem in a little village called Woolston.

Very well equipped,cosy,spotlessly clean,with extra touches like Netflix for a cosy night in along with a log basket full of logs for the log burner,lots of reading material for local walks and a little further afield . Huge comfy bed with plenty of fluffy towels to use in the powerful shower. Underfloor heating will never allow you to have cold toes or your pets to have cold paws

Ellie and Joe our hosts were very welcoming and gave us a lovely welcome gift of provisions and some homemade which were delicious.

Would recommend the super kingsized bed more comfortable than our own bed.We had a lovely stay in clean warm accommodation.This was very much appreciated on returning at the end of each day.We would book this propertyagain on our next visit to the area

Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed - all the personal touches made for a lovely stay and the scenery and hill walking was excellent.

Goosepond was wonderful and lived up to our expectations in every way!

The cottage is stylish and the location is wonderfully peaceful. Set in a hamlet in the middle of the Shropshire countryside, you're surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and it's great for long walks with the dog. We would wholeheartedly recommend Goosepond to someone looking for a relaxing getaway in the countryside. We'll certainly be back too!

Wonderful welcome pack and lovely touches to add to the very comfortable accommodation.

The cottage was everything we could have hoped for & the welcome pack provided by Ellie (the owner) was very much appreciated .

The super king size bed was a joy to sleep in & the shower was fabulous. Most mornings we were woken by the sound of the House Martins which were nesting outside the bedroom window. There are plenty of walks from the doorstep (details in the cottage info) further afield Shrewsbury is well worth a visit, as well as The Long Mynd & Carding Mill Valley, there are also plenty of National Trust properties in the area. We had a wonderful weeks stay & the weather was fantastic.

The tranquility of the place was a real plus but within distance of a well seved town.

The cottage itself was very comfortable and well equiped.

A simple but perfect cottage.

Well laid out-a very comfy bed and a long deep bath-along with the wood burning stove all you need for a perfect break-thanks.

This is a little gem of a cottage found down a small country lane, which meant we were not troubled by any traffic noise.

Only the sounds of the country, which was mainly bird songs. The cottage is clean, modern and surprisingly spacious with everything you could need. The owner is very helpfully and gave us a beautiful welcome pack of scones, butter and jam , which was delicious. The king size bed is very comfortable and the cottage is ideally located for walking or visiting the many interesting places/sites that can be found within the local area. Would we love to go back soon.

Everything we could want was in this cottage.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. She contacted us in advance of our stay to give us some very useful information and took the trouble to call in early on in our stay to make sure that everything was alright, telling us just to call in on her if we should have any issues. The siting of the cottage was great, with many walks straight from the front door or just a short drive away. There are also many very interesting towns and villages nearby to explore. Would be very happy to go back to this area and this cottage.

From the pictures it looked pretty basic but we were drawn to the location.

In reality the cottage was really gorgeous - very comfy huge bed, soft fluffy towels and bedding, huge fridge and everything you could want. The only thing that slightly let it down were the uncomfortable dining chairs but that was such a small detail it was overtaken by the rest of this great cottage. Good value for money and a little gem of a place ideally suited for exploring the Shropshire countryside and villages. We would definitely recommend it highly and we may well return!

We had a lovely 3 nights in Goose Pond.

It's cosy and comfy, with luxury beds, towels and home from home comforts. The layout all on one floor was perfect for our 13month old who could happily crawl around the whole place all day long. Thanks for a relaxed stay.

The booking process was quick and straightforward and benefited from regular email updates from Sykes cottages.

Goosepond where we stayed was just exceptional - idyllic rural location, stunning property that was clean, dry, warm, stylishly decorated to high spec and very welcoming- didn’t want to leave! The owners were also delightful and helpful, again warm and welcoming- even leaving a gorgeous festive welcome hamper and message. Our stay was truly amazing, the place was gorgeous and we’d love to return.

Perfect little cottage with everything you might need.

Ellie was a great host and very helpful. Welcome hamper was a lovely addition with tasty homemade scones.

Fantastic little cottage with lovely wood burning stove and comfortable bed.

Lots of lovely walks and pubs nearby.

Very well equipped, lovely welcome pack.

Owner lovely and very friendly.

Fabulous accommodation.

The location, accommodation that exceeded expectations, the facilities offered, the value for money, accepting of dogs and the friendliness of the owners made the holiday (our first for several years) most enjoyable and memorable

Great Cottage newly converted.

Lovely owners ,very helpful. Good quality fixtures and fittings ,linen and towels etc. Very good welcoming hamper. Homemade scones and jam.

We had a brilliant 3 days at Goosepond.

The cottage is very comfortable, very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Ellie, the owner, is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Goosepond is conveniently situated for exploring Shropshire, about 5 miles from Church Stretton and the Long Mynd. There are several lovely short walks from the door, ideal for a stroll with the dog early in the morning or after a day out. We had good, reasonably warm weather so didn't need to use the log burner, but hope to return at another time of year and snuggle up beside it!

Very well equipped, tasteful decor, luxurious bed, but made very special by the warmest of welcomes from the lovely owners.

Delightful little touches such as fresh flowers, a generous welcome pack with home made scones and jam, and a full basket of logs for the wonderful log burner. Spacious property with lovely little patio. Perfect for unwinding in peace and comfort. Peacefull location in a sleepy hamlet in the beautiful Shropshire Hills. Ideal for visiting Ludlow, The Long Mynd, Carding Mill Valley, Clee Hill and other attractions. Walks from the door up quiet country lanes
