About this spaceA fab location in the very heart of Church Stretton. The cottage is at the back of a pretty courtyard off the market square right in the center of the town. We've recently renovated both the cottage and garden and added a private hot tub area just for guests!We have some lovely pubs, restaurants, cafes and individual boutiques all within walking distance. Walks on the Long Mynd, the Shropshire hills and in Rectory Wood are easily accessible by foot or car and are highly recommended.The spaceCozy, comfortable and calm. It was loved by us when it was our holiday home.You enter into the open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area. The sofa in the lounge will open up into a double sofa bed that will sleep two, although we would recommend children, rather than adults.At the back of the cottage is a small double bedroom with a patio door leading to the hot tub.We have a compact shower room and toilet, also located on the ground floor. The stairs are reasonably narrow and lead straight into a twin room. There is no door to this room but we do have a screen for privacy. At the top of the stairs on either side are areas perfect for little people to make their dens.Outside the house is a decked area and in the warmer months, has seating area to enjoy an early morning coffee or evening drink.

Although we do recommend this is for children, rather than adults, as the property will seem confined with 5 adults.Please note that the property offers a maximum of 5 guests with a sofa and a charge would be £30 per person for linen and use.Well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at a cost of £20 per dog and we ask that you clean up any doggy mess.

The Kings Head, which dates back to 1593, a real traditional country pub, featuring a log burner and restaurant which caters to all tastes and provides an outstanding selection of home-cooked food.

There is a Kebab & Burgerhouse on Sandford avenue.

We have plenty of walks. Cardingmill Valley, Caer Caradoc, Ragleth and The Lawley are just a few within Church Stretton. However, I would recommend visiting #removed# or visiting The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. If you go to #removed#/ and put in Church Stretton, you can download the APP and there are many walks from Church Stretton. If you like Antiques, then the Stretton Antiques Market is the place for you. Although be careful, you could lose a whole day in there. #removed# is a good website with lots of information about the town. Ludlow, is 15 minutes drive and has the stunning Ludlow Castle, which dates back to 1066. They also have the famous Ludlow Market, which is on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday selling lots of yummy local produce. On a Sunday it turns into a flea market. If you like beer, the Ludlow Brewing company is worth a visit. We also have Ludlow Racecourse, which is a great day out. And north of Church Stretton is the historical Town of Shrewsbury with its unique back streets with quaint cafes and shopping boutiques. A walk past the train station, castle and old library building is worth seeing, if you like historic buildings. If you follow the river, you will come to the Quarry Park, which is a beautiful 29-acre parkland providing the perfect place to relax, enjoy walks, picnic or play a game of ball with the family. At the heart of the Quarry lies the Dingle, a floral masterpiece cultivated by world-renowned gardener Percy Thrower, who served as Parks Superintendent for 28 years. It's a delightful sunken garden landscaped with alpine borders, shrubbery and charming water features tis worth a wander around.TrainsChurch Stretton train station is with in 5 minute walk.BusesThere is a bus stop with in a 5 minute walkKey Selling PointsStunning small barn conversion.
