The Stables is a perfect place to spend a vacation, offering cosiness and surrounded by beautiful countryside. Cleanliness and facilities were of a very high standard making it feel like a well loved home. Fortunately we were able to bring home some of the lovely apples off the trees. So when we eat our crumbles and pie we will have happy memories of the Stables. Thank you both again for your kind hospitality. We will certainly see you again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Stables. The only problem we found was the very small roads in that area.

The cottage was lovely and in a peaceful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the wine and the nibbles. Thoroughly recommended. And a great base to visit Snowdon which we did. Thank you we would definitely book again.

Wonderful holiday at the Stables. Warm welcome from our hosts Lou and Mike. Beautifully presented property. Kitchen felt like a home from home. Nice big bathroom with bath and separate shower. Great selection of interesting local history provided and a good selection of books to read. Wonderfully quiet with some nice walks from the door.

We have stayed in many lovely cottages over the years but this one was one of the best, if not the best. Spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners have thought of everything. Beautiful private garden which gets the sun all day, furnished with comfortable garden furniture and BBQ. Fabulous views. Loads to do in the area. Neat by pub serves delicious food. Would recommend this property 100 percent.

A very spacious 2 bedroom cottage spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Owners nearby and very helpful and friendly. Wonderful rural views and our own private walled garden.

We had a great week at the Stables which offered spacious and comfortable accommodation with its own private pretty walled garden and stunning views. It was a perfect base for walking in the Shropshire hills, and exploring Shrewsbury and Ludlow and further afield.

Our second visit to this lovely cottage. Lots to do near by, Lots of N T properties. Pretty walled garden to enjoy. Lu and Mike very friendly and helpful . A very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.

Alison

The Stables Cottage was clean and comfortable. It enjoys beautiful views and a lovely private garden. It was a great base to enjoy this lovely county from and we would love to return one day.

Maggie

An amazing location for tranquility and calm. Views are beautiful. Private walled garden is so enjoyable to relax in where sounds of birds,bees and sheep give so much pleasure. An excellent holiday retreat.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Extremely comfortable and we had a very relaxing stay. A peaceful sunny garden. Lots to do near by. Would definitely stay again.

Simone

A well equipped property in a beautiful setting. The beds were comfortable and the rooms a good size. Had a very relaxing, peaceful break.

Spotlessly clean but some of the furnishings and crockery could do with an update. Lovely tranquil location for a very peacefull holiday.

Stephanie

We recently stayed at The Stables as a family of 4 children are 5 and 7 and we don't have a bad word to say. The cottage is set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and has everything you need. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, plenty of soft towels, and enough jigsaws to entertain us the whole week. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped and the private, enclosed garden was ideal for the children. The Stables is also ideally located for days out, with a week packed with visits to National Trust destinations, Ironbridge, Telford Town Park fantastic for the kids, Quarry Splash Park in Shrewsbury and a walk along the river, and Ludlow Farm. We also visited The Pound in Leebotwood for some delicious pie, which has a small play area outside. The Stables is definitely somewhere we will book again in the future. It's ideal for families as well as those wanting to get away for some uninterrupted peace and quiet. Just wonderful!

A superb cottage in peaceful surroundings. It is very comfortable and well equipped and we had a lovely week. It may seem churlish to say but our only suggestion would be that some of the cups mugs have become chipped and could do with replacement but it caused us no problem whatsoever. We would highly recommend this lovely accommodation to anyone who wants a peaceful and restful holiday.

Nicola

We had a wonderful week. The situation is so idyllic and quiet

Kathryn

We had a lovely week at The Stables. Its a very well appointed, cosy cottage with stunning views. Clean, with modern fittings, well laid out for our family of four and the gardens are beautiful. Centrally located for walks and Shropshire sights. We particularly enjoyed the Carding Mill Valley which is just 15 mins drive, and Ludlow and Stokesay Castles are about half an hour away. We also had a great day out on the steam trains on the Severn Valley Railway.

Kathryn

We had a great time at The Stables. It was so comfortable and cosy with everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Beautiful views from every window! The beds were super comfy and it was great to have extra blankets available. We loved the retro board games and really appreciated all the leaflets, guides and maps on the local area. We had some brilliant days out, we love Shropshire!

Rosemary

The Stables is a comfortable and warm property. It has a roomy kitchen, with lots of storage space, with good facilities, cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and hot water. The bathroom has an excellent shower. There is underfloor heating in lounge, kitchen, hallway and bathroom which works well and has an easy override option for additional heat. The bedrooms are heated by electric wall panels which are efficient. There is a good selection of local interest books and guides and an easy to work large screen TV. The hosts live opposite and are responsive and there is a very good view south from the property to the woodland on Lodge Hill. A private walled garden can be accessed from the lounge via a set of double doors, the garden is well maintained with fine flower beds, shrubs and lawn. The property is in a quiet location and a very good choice if you wished to explore Shropshire and the nearby Longmynd either on foot or by bike. There is a railway station at nearby Church Stretton or Shrewsbury with access into Powys. Shrewsbury has a regular Saturday morning Parkrun which is very popular and a regular very good indoor Market, excellent for fruit and vegetables.

Nice few days away, nothing negative to say at all, just a well run, clean cottage, lots of space and very comfortable cant wait to book again soon. ... Great for local walks too....!!

Stephanie

Absolutely beautiful cottage, very comfortable, warm with great rooms. The location was gorgeous with lovely scenery and the owners Mike & Lou were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. We had a fabulous Christmas stay at the cottage and would definitely visit again! Thank you for everything.

This is a perfect cottage with a wonderful view which is well equipped and ideally located for visiting Shropshire's attractions. The trolley provided was very useful for transporting luggage the 50m from the car to the cottage and viceversa. Lu was very helpful by removing all feather bedding from the stables before we arrived to accommodate a feather allergy. We had a really enjoyable holiday. Thanks.

A beautiful cottage with lovely views in a peaceful location. The accomodation was extremely comfortable and had everything we could have wished for.

Robert

A beautiful cottage. We loved our stay. Thank you. Bob and Marilyn

Valerie

We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years, and The Stables was one of the best. It was light and spacious with amazing views of the surrounding countryside from every window. The walled garden gave us privacy and was very attractive. Lu and Mike, who live in the house opposite, were the perfect hosts and were friendly and helpful when needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave. We would definitely go back again.

Nicola

The stables is a great place to stay. Very clean and well furnished. Thank you to Lu the owner for being accommodating with the fact we had a wheelchair. We really enjoyed our stay.

A comfortable cottage that offered a beautiful small walled garden to enjoy on the sunny days and a comfortable, bright lounge to relax in during the rainy spells. The cottage is well situated and day trips to Ludlow, Iron Bridge and the many ruined castles, priories and abbeys are easily achieved.

Excellent cottage, like staying with friends. Accurate listing. Although personal choice, option of a thicker duvet in the double bedroom would help with the variable summer weather. Appreciated the welcome pack but milk would be useful. We found some at a popup farm shop which was still open when we arrived. There are no shops or pub near.

Andrew

The car parking space was unsuitable because it was overhung by trees which continually dropped debris and a lot of very sticky sap which was very difficult to remove. After the first night and having spoken to the owner, we were allowed to park on the drive. The controls for the four hot plates were unworkable even though we followed the instructions so we were unable to use them. We informed the owner who did try to assist. The double bedroom was cold. It needed a warmer duvet and better space heating.

A great place to stay. Everything was just as shown in the photographs. We enjoyed our stay and are returning next May. Visiting local towns like Shrewsbury we used the park and ride and they were excellent and made life easy. The only thing that could have improved our stay would have been to have had a parasol for the table and chairs in the private walled garden, but we coped.

Pleasant, peaceful surroundings with great views. Private walled garden was a bonus. Cottage had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Shame about the distance from car park to front door which in heavy rain would be unpleasant, although property description had pre warned us. None less would stay again.

A comfortable spacious property with a great outlook and private walled garden. The only negative was the distance from parking to the property which we were aware of from the property description.

Lavinia

Fantastic Chritmas break very cosy cottage lovely setting evan a christmas tree ... Fantastic Chritmas break very cosy cottage lovely setting evan a christmas tree Church Stretton and Much Wenlock just up the road Great little Market Towns Loved it

This delightful cottage had everything we could want. A real home from home. It was lovely and cosy to come back to after a day out when the temperature was sub zero. The garden looked very inviting, a pity we couldn't use it because of the weather! I would definitely recommend this accommodation and will be back in the future.

The Stables was an excellent stay. Spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Everything we needed to make the stay relaxing was provided, and the local walks and pubs were both excellent. Definitely recommend and would stay again great for exploring Shropshire

Joseph

An absolutely delightful stay at a wonderful property. Picturesque cottage, furnished well, great facilities, very comfortable and clean throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again. Friendly and helpful hosts too. Cannot recommend enough.
