Round House Reviews

Joanna

The Roundhouse is a lovely house in an absolutely beautiful setting. The views are amazing! We were super impressed by how much was provided for us, from coffee to cake, lovely toiletries to cleaning supplies. It made our stay super relaxing and easy. Would definitely recommend.

Lesley

Fabulous outside space with wonderful views of the Long Mynd. House is on the lower slopes of Ragleth Hill so steep access. Real Wow factor on arrival. Its great in warm weather to just sit and chat on the balcony. Bedrooms are downstairs with an additional tv lounge. Clean and well organised with a large cloakroom and cool hallway. Large utility room downstairs. Excellent welcome pack, all shower toiletries and little cosmetic extras provided. We would have liked instructions for the hot tub particularly and other appliances. Two of the four bedrooms share a bathroom without a shower. Ownermanager? helped throughout. 15 minutes walk to the centre of Church Stretton via alleyways and crossing A49 and railway line. Access to wonderful Ragleth Hill is just a short walk up the road the house is on. Great pubs in all 3 Strettons.

Fantastic property, the pictures dont do it justice. Great location, train and village 10 minute walk, went to kings arms for a drink, lovely beer garden had a meal at Housman which was lovely. welcome pack and little extra touches an added bonus. Amazing views, hot tub used daily. Went to Ludlow & Shrewsbury on the train. We had the weather which makes such a difference. Would definitely stay again

Sophisticated drawer and coffe making facilities were vulnerable and therefore annoying eg drawer closures and kitchen area not designed for multiple cooks. Beautiful house and garden architect to be complimented!

Absolutely beautiful, the views are fantastic . The house is stunning and the facilities are spot on. The only access to the house is via a walk way with an incline which means carrying supplies etc from the car to the house so you may struggle if you have disability issues other than that I would highly recommend and we ibe returning.

Excellent place to stay, very comfortable with everything you need. Exceptional welcome gift. Would highly recommend.

Such a beautiful house with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The welcome pack was such a lovely touch and house instructions were very clear and helpful. The views over the Long Mynd were stunning and the well kept garden was a pleasure to sit in with a few drinks in the winter sun. The hot tub was the icing on the cake to an amazing weekend away with friends. Would highly recommend The Round House.

A beautifully kept house which was perfect for a groups of 6 friends meeting. Very spacious and the house and surroundings were so quiet. In walking distance of nice food and shops in Church Stretton and a thoughtful welcome pack. We still made use of the hot tub in winter and Im sure the garden would be even nicer in spring summer. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Darren

STAY NEW YEAR 2425 THE ROUNDHOUSE WAS AS DESCRIBED, COMMUNICATION PRIOR TO OUR STAY WAS FINE AND INFORMATIVE. WE ALL ENJOYED OUR STAY VERY MUCH. ROUNDHOUSE WAS PERFECT PLENTY OF INTERNAL SPACE BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS WELL APPOINTED KITCHEN WELL EQUIPPED HOT TUB WORKING AND CLEAN, VERY GOOD THANK YOU

Excellent accommodation for family group to celebrate 60th birthday. Easy walk into Church Stratton for coffee shops and local pubs.

Absolutely beautiful house and garden. Lovely, indulgent welcome pack and information on the surrounding area. We would definitely recommend and return.

Kathleen

Beautiful place relaxing and welcoming. Wonderful views.

Instructions for the tap, cooker and hob would be helpful. Also guide as to how to deal with the rubbish, both recycling and general. All six of us enjoyed our stay at The Round House.

Patricia

Instructions for the tap, cooker and hob would be helpful. Also guide as to how to deal with the rubbish, both recycling and general. All six of us enjoyed our stay at The Round House.

It was perfect for what we needed. Such a great place & stunning location. We had to email the owner about something so still awaiting a reply on that. We did say in our comments in the feed back, great kitchen, but some open shelves or a cupboard to stored your own food would be really useful. And maybe instructions on the tap & coffee machines All of that aside we are thinking of re booking for the end of Sept 2025. Loved it.

Katheryn

A wonderful place to stay! The setting and views are spectacular. The Round House itself is beautifully designed, with thoughtful attention to detail, that immediately makes you feel welcome. The house has everything you need, and the hot tub is great, come rain or shine. A cut above in every way.

Pamela

Lovely property, everything we could wish for. Beautiful setting. Very comfortable. Only thing would have liked would have been a drawer unit in both en suite bedrooms as we had to share drawer space with other 2 bedrooms. Maybe somewhere in kitchen to store our cereals and bits, otherwise could not fault. Lovely toilet luxuries were very nice touch. Would book again. Thank you.

A beautiful property with wonderful views but we felt there were one or two issues with the kitchen we didnt think the tap was working properly and the draw below the hob took a few attempts to close properly. The automatic light coming on in the en suites was very annoying when using the bathroom during the night, both for dazzling the user and also for disturbing the person who was in the bedroom. However we were very impressed with the range of toiletries throughout the property, the provision of bathrobes, and the laundry facilities.

Colin Joseph

A lovely private property with tremendous views and beautiful gardens. Hot tub is a real bonus. All bedrooms are like hotel rooms although the toiletshower room light in the en suite rooms is a nuisance! Well equipped kitchen although a distinct lack of cupboard space for storing food. All in all a great place for a family stay

Andrew

Lovely views of Long Mynd in a nice modern property that has good individual heating controls so each area can be at optimum temperature. Both lounge areas were very comfortable after making good use of walks and cycling nearby during the day. Movement sensors on ensuite bathroom lights were an issue as once in the shower the light would go out! With better mattresses fitted this could be a five star house note single beds are best suited for children.

We had a really fabulous time at the Roundhouse, it is unique & very comfortable with stunning views. Initially we struggled to work appliances as we didn't find any instructions for these, then after a couple of days found the oven instructions actually on the glass inside the oven door. Similarly there were 2 coffee machines & no instructions so we googled these as neither were working fully. We messaged the owner & a replacement part was ordered promptly for the milk wand. One of our party left a wallet in a bedside drawer with a considerable amount of cash in it. With great relief, his was returned immediately. I can't fault the service we received & the property really was first class.

Only drawback we experienced was lack of cafetire for eight guests. A single one was provided and coffee pods which none of us liked. As coffee drinkers after breakfast we had to purchase one for our use.

Michelle

What an amazing house. The best views we have ever had out of numerous holiday homes that we have stayed in over many years. Well equipped. Comfortable and warm. The hot tub was brilliant and much appreciated especially after our Long Mynd walk. The welcome cakes etc and particularly the lovely extra touches in the bathrooms we loved. We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you. Michelle and Stuart

Sophie

Perfect weekend stay for a group of friends who want a fun but relaxing weekend away. A very unique property in a great location. Walkable distance to walking routes, pubs and little shops. The attention to detail at the property is fantastic. 5 hosts! Highly recommend.

Roland

Superb location and accommodation. Well provided with basic essentials. The welcome offering of seasonal items of drink and festive eats was greatly appreciated and made our Xmas break even more enjoyable. Would highly recommend the Round House for a relaxing break.

Chelsea

Great house. Host was very good at communicating. Would recommend

Katherine

The only downside is there arent enough seats in the living space for 8 people. 2 guests sat on the floor in the kitchen space and downstairs in living area. We couldnt fit 8 of us in the hot tub. The WiFi kept dropping out in the evenings so the tv didnt play properly. Other than that we loved it! The little touches in the bathrooms, the coffee machine pods and saltpeppercooking oil. The property was very clean and the beds were so comfy! Beautiful location for walking also.ample parking for the group size.

A well presented, clean and stylish property. Lots of space and very comfortable. Great for groups or families.

Fantastic holiday let with luxurious comfort & home from home facilities. Location is perfect to explore the area, would highly recommend

A fabulous house with everything needed and more . Beautiful grounds with stunning views.Lovely hot tub.Within walking distance to the village.Cannot fault our stay and will definitely be returning.

Jocelyn

What a splendid holiday home. Everything you could want, and more. Glorious views, comfortable surroundings, wonderful hot tub. All in all really great! Thank you

Beautiful house with everything you need to make your stay perfect. The Round House is in a lovely location but remember the steep hill to walk back from the town centre!!!

Lovely property in a good location, good views from the house and really good facilities.

Stephen

We chose The Roundhouse mainly for its location, ratio of beds to baths and the hot tub, for a family three generation birthday weekend followed by an adult only few days as a reward to ourselves. The unique layout, quality of fixtures and fittings and all the little welcoming extras were an added bonus. What a great place and what a great time we all had. We loved the view and that we could walk everywhere from the house. Plenty of hiking options in all directions. When we werent BBQing, we enjoyed excellent meals at the Station Inn an adventurous hike over Ragleth Hill and at Jaipur in Church Stretton. All in all, a perfect week. A special thank you to Ferne the owner for excellent communications, dining suggestions and providing such a wonderful home from home.

Andrew

The cottage was superb in every way. The rooms were spacious, the gardens wonderful and the views spectacular. We came away for a writers retreat and it was lovely and quiet and the whole atmosphere led us into our creativity. The Kings Arms was wonderful and Jaipur has to be one of the best curry houses we've been to. Only downside was the uphill walk home but without it, we would not have had the views.

Superb accommodation set in a beautiful and peaceful location! The property is outstanding, immaculately furnished and has everything you need! Enjoyed the open plan kitchendiner with bifold doors onto the balcony overlooking garden and of course the hot tub was amazing! Approx 30mins from Shrewsbury, nice to wander into Church Stretton where there are a number of shops and pubs. We had lunch at The Pound Inn, just five minutes away by car, highly recommend! The Round House is a hidden treasure you won't want to leave!
