East Cottage, CHURCH STRETTON

East Cottage is a charming Grade II listed semi-detached cottage in Church Stretton. It has a double room with en-suite bathroom and two twin bedrooms. There is a family shower room, and a ground floor cloakroom. The kitchen has a breakfast area, and the sitting room has a dining area and cosy gas fire. Outside is off road parking for two cars, and a front patio area with a table and six chairs. East Cottage is a wonderful base for families, friends or walkers to enjoy the town and its beautiful surroundings.

Amenities: Gas central heating with gas stove in sitting room. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, TV with Freeview, DVD, WiFi. Fuel and power, bed linen and towels included in the rent. A travel cot and highchair are available on request. Off road parking for 2 cars. Enclosed front patio garden with furniture and views towards Long Mynd. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shops and pubs 2 mins walk.

Region: A E Housman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

Town: Church Stretton is a pretty market town in the heart of rural south Shropshire. Described as "Little Switzerland", Church Stretton is surrounded by stunning scenery and is the major part of Shropshire's hill country. The town offers a good selection of pubs, tearooms, and specialist shops, as well as other attractions including fantastic walking opportunities on the Long Mynd; the fascinating Acton Scott Working Farm, and the ancient Stokesay Castle. Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Ludlow, Much Wenlock and Bishops Castle are all historic local towns with much to offer to visitors, and they are all an easy drive away from Church Stretton, as are the beautiful Welsh Borders.

The cottage is much larger than I had anticipated. It’s very central to the town but also gives easy access to the Long Mynd. It’s very clean and warm with comfortable furnishings and a well-appointed kitchen. Perfect for our family needs!

Fantastic property in an amazing location
The property was spacious, beautifully clean and very well equipped. We were able to walk from the doorstep straight onto several walking routes. The local deli provided delicious lunch options. We would definitely return here. Highly recommend.

A very good place to stay
We very much enjoyed staying in the cottage, which we found very clean and well equipped. The cottage was in an ideal location with easy parking. The welcome pack of cake and biscuits was also much appreciated. The only thing we wondered was whether it would be useful to have some hooks in the boot room for wet coats as there's more room in that area when coming in from the rain, (of which there was, unfortunately, quite a bit), than in the front door. We also found the sound coming from the TV to be a little muffled and unclear, though this could be due to our imperfect hearing. All in all, an excellent place to stay and we would happily return.

We had a lovely week in Church Stretton. The cottage was spotlessly clean and welcoming . My daughter remarked on leaving that she would stay there again " in a heartbeat " .

We liked the height of the old picket fence better, felt less enclosed, but as usual we loved our stay. We left a black battery pack there, is it possible to keep it to one side until our visit next year?

This large cottage is perfectly located for easy access to Church Stretton and the Shropshire Hills: Long Mynd, Cardingmill Valley etc. The cottage itself is very quiet. It is also warm and the hosts are friendly.

Very lovely house
We had a wonderful time in Church Stretton staying at East cottage. The house is very central but yet quiet and secluded. David and Gill were wonderful and came to say hi at the beginning of the stay. The boiler malfunctioned but upon contacting David, he was very responsive and promptly come to fix the boiler on the same day. The house is lovely and spacious.

Great place to stay
A lovely property in a very quiet setting, yet only a few minutes walk from the centre of town. Fantastic walks from the doorstep on both sides of the valley. Church Stretton has everything you need for self catering with butcher, baker, deli and supermarket. The kitchen was very well equipped ,with a couple of omissions; a non stick pan and a can opener that worked. We would definitely return.

Great family getaway
Couldn't believe the size when we walked in. Plenty of room for us all and very cosy of an evening. Communication in advance was great and the milk, biscuits and cake was a lovely touch and much enjoyed. We enjoyed visiting Church Stretton, everywhere was a short walk from the property. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore Shropshire
