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.

Great location, very quiet and green area in walking distance from shops and pubs (5 min to a large coop store). Well equipped kitchen, cozy rooms, fast enough wi-fi (we did not watch movies but it was quite sufficient for video calls). The surrounding area is beautiful, a few beautifil hiking trails start within 10 min walk from the door. We'd be glad come again.

Lovely relaxing break

We had a lovely stay at East Cottage. The cottage is lovely, clean and well equipped. The location is perfect, very peaceful and just a few minutes walk to Church Stretton with coffee shops, nice quirky shops and pubs. We arranged for a food delivery from Asda for when we arrived which worked well for us and there is a large Co-op around a 10 minute walk away for any top ups required. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A very enjoyable weekend

At first we had a little difficulty finding the cottage, but it was in a very well placed for the town.My friend and I went to a workshop in All stretton, so we thought we would make a long weekend of it and found East Cottage on Vrbo site. David and Gill the owners, were very accomadating to my needs as i have a disability. The cottage is very roomy and comfortable. It met our needs very well. It was well equipped and warm.

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!
