• "Delightful well-equipped and cosy cottage."

  Fantastic location and great hosts. Even the woodpeckers (great spotted) made an appearance and it was lovely to see them feeding their chick on the lawn just a few yards away. In the grounds of the grand old rectory, this place is the gateway to the Long Mynd yet is only minutes from the town. Lovely walks nearby and a good bus service to Shrewsbury and Ludlow for a car-free day out. Local eateries are sparse but the Hollybush cafe (150 yards away) and Saxton's deli in the High Street are the pick of the crop. Small market in the square on Thursdays and a warm welcome at the Kings Arms further along the High Street with a lovely garden. We would have no hesitation in returning at any time of year. Many thanks to Ed and Debbie.

  You are very welcome! We are so happy to know you had such a good time and enjoyed our cottage and its locality. We agree that it was lovely to see the family of woodpeckers - a real treat for all of us! Thank you very much for your feedback. Come back soon! Property Owner

• "A very comfortable (& clean) cottage."

  Although the bed isn't in a separate room it still feels plenty spacious enough with a good kitchen and cosy sofa area. We loved sitting outside on the patio listening to the birds or watching them from the living area window. The cottage is in a perfect location for beautiful walks from the door with the town only a short stroll away, yet being in a green, secluded setting. It's a big advantage not having to pay for parking at Cardingmill Valley & to take a quieter route through the woods. We could easily have left the car at home & arrived by train. The owners were welcoming and let us know they were around if we needed anything but we still had privacy. Thankyou to them for a lovely stay.

  You are very welcome! We're so glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at Woodpeckers. We love our location too and it's great to be able to share it with our guests! Thank you so much for your feedback. Property Owner

  Really pretty views from the sitting area - beautiful trees and lots of squirrel sightings. The cottage has all you need for a comfortable stay, once you have mastered the heating and/or stove.

  It is a beautiful part of the country and the situation of the cottage is delightful, looking out over fields and woods and yet within easy reach of the town. We particularly liked the fact that there were bird feeders outside our window so we could see a variety of birds coming to feed. It was good to be able to sit outside even though the weather was a bit cool but we could enjoy what sun there was. The inside of the cottage was very comfortable and homely and everything you could think of was provided. Our hosts were lovely and very helpful to us when we needed it. We would definitely recommend Woodpeckers as a holiday stay and would hope to return some day.

• "Woodpeckers Cottage is lovely, tucked away with great views but only a few minutes walk into Church Stretton shops, pubs etc."

  I would say, however, that the foot access is not good for anyone who has even a minor problem walking as it is along a quite difficult surface. Uneven and stony. By car it would be fine. In general the cottage has all you need for a great stay. However for those who do not want to venture out to eat each evening the kitchen equipment is a little lacking. A baking tray for ready meals, pizzas or baking potatoes would be very useful, as would some dishing up spoons and a measuring jug. Despite a 20 hour power cut and the water going off for most of one day we enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider returning. Our hosts tried very hard to make sure we were OK once they realised the electric and water problems were continuing and sent their son to our rescue which was very much appreciated.
