Had a wonderful week at Shepherds Cottage. There were plenty of walks with beautiful scenery from the door. The cottage was cosy with lovely views of the hillside from the windows.

Left on 01/05/2012 for a stay in November 2011
Booking smooth, cottage ready for access on the day.
Ideal location for direct access to the long Mynd straight from the cottage. Needless to say this is an ideal cottage for walkers.
Cosy cottage with all facilities necessary for a comfortable stay.
One little issue is that it. Would be useful to have a shower rather than only the bath.
Parking fine but only one car as it is down a footpath/bridleway. -

Left on 12/09/2011 for a stay in September 2011
The service was excellent
the cottage was cosy and clean but one drawback was the lack of a shower. and the put up bed was not really suitable for an a adult.
The location is wonderful with good walks from the cottage into carding mill valley, The national trust shop and cafe are very good.
The only way out of the parking area is to reverse which is rather risky. -

Left on 09/19/2011 for a stay in June 2011
This cottage is located at the lower end of Cardingmill Valley, the principle valley in the Longmynd area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The booking process via the agent, Sykes Cottages, was simple and straightforward. The directions to the cottage were logical, clearly having been written by someone geographically literate [a rarity these days]. On arrival the key collection process was easy and well-thought through. The property was spotlessly clean and decorated in a plain style [no eye-watering wallpaper patterns or busy carpet designs]. The main bedroom is large and airy but still cosy; the second bedroom is small but my wife and I found it perfectly adequate [we let our Dutch relatives have the larger bedroom]. The bathroom, although small and without a shower, was again clean and well-maintained, with lashings of hot water. In the comfortable lounge there was a nice flatscreen TV and an easy to operate DVD player. Outside there was pleasant small garden where we could barbecue and sit in the evenings and take in the stunning views. This cottage is a real credit to the owners and we would definitely recommend it to anyone. Our Dutch relatives thought they were in heaven. They had never even been to - or even heard of - this part of England before and thought that the cottage and the area were just amazing.

Left on 08/18/2011 for a stay in June 2011
Shepherds Cottage is in a superb position based moreorless right on the Shropshire Way. Superb views from the lounge window overlooking the Great Mind and in a quiet area. Two minutes are you are on or near the most popular walks in the area. Could really only find one fauly which is that there was only a bath - a shower would have been very handy.

Shepherd's cottage is so perfectly positioned that you almost don't want too many people to know. We had a wonderful time walking Shropshire's 'blue remembered hills' and would like to go back and go back... and the dog loved it too.

London, United KingdomAmazing location, fantastic cosy cottage - great for walkers
Left on 12/04/2010 for a stay in December 2010
We had a lovely three night stay in the cottage. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds with cotton bedding. I have only given the cottage 4 stars for comfort because some customers may want sky TV, fan oven etc. However, if you want somewhere with stupendous views, close to town with walks from the door, this is a great rental. We would certainly return.

OxfordshireSnug Christmas
Left on 02/03/2010 for a stay in December 2009
We were able to book Shepherds Cottage, Church Stretton just a few days before Christmas!
The cottage was compact but very well equipped and we had a lovely cosy Christmas, the owners having added some festive touches all at very short notice*
Stunning 'wintery' scenery around the cottage, although the road onto the Long Mynd was closed due to the ice, but there were opportunities to walk if you so wished.
*The short notice was even shorter due to the fact that Sykes had not notified the owner of our booking so when I rang to arrange key collection 48 hours in advance, that was the first they knew about it and I believe they had to drive some way to get the cottage set up for us, and this was during the pre Christmas snow! Luckily it did not spoil our holiday, but that along with some problems about the booking and confirmation would make me a little wary of using Sykes in the future.

CumbriaWhat a spot!
Left on 12/06/2009 for a stay in November 2008
The location was absolutely fabulous! We arrived in the dark & when we looked out in the morning we were bowled over! The cottage was quite tiny but cosy, spotlessly clean & brilliantly equipped. Another highlight was the open fire! Great eating places a short walk away in the pretty village of Church Stretton & the walking straight from your door on the Long Mynd was fantastic - all of which made this a place we will definitely return to! We've recommended it to friends. The booking team were super efficient & the owner was a delight to speak to on the phone.

Cosy, welcoming cottage in supreme location with spectacular views over the Long Mynd.
The cottage baosts all the facilities required for a comfortable stay and is highly recomended for a unique break.
In addition to unspoilt rural views the cottage is within easy walking distance of the centre of Church Stretton, which it's good range of shops and restaurants.
