Andrew

Stable cottage is perfect in every way, from the moment we arrived. The character of the cottage and the scenery were first class. Excellent facilities , clean and comfortable. The Swedish hot tub is lovely after a day's walking the fells . As this is a working farm, amazing to see the horses and sheep in the paddocks and so friendly a great experience! The owners Theresa and Pete made us feel at home, thank you both, we would love to return.

Stephen

A beautiful setting in the middle of the Shropshire Hills. Fantastic walks all around the area just a short drive away. The Stable Cottage is well set out, comfortable and has it's own secure garden for you and your dogs. The views are wonderful. Several, beautiful and unspoiled villages are within a short drive and worth visiting. I would recommend Stable Cottage to anyone wanting a quiet time away with plenty to do in the local area.

A really lovely cottage in stunning countryside. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. We unfortunately had to cut our stay short due to family circumstances. We would definitely recommend.

Fantastic cottage with memorising views. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. During our start the owner gave us the opportunity to see a foal that was born during our stay. Perfect country stay with lots of scenic walks. Short drive to local shops and local pub.

Hayley Claire

We spent a wonderful few days at Stable Cottage. The property was so welcoming and so thoughtfully decorated, and it had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Or hosts were fantastic and always on hand. The landscape was beautiful and peaceful and watching the stars come out from the hot tub was a delight. There were many interesting places nearby to discover with our dogs and we enjoyed coming back to the cottage to relax. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday we hope to visit again one day!

Pete and Theresa really made us feel welcome. They are both so friendly and did everything they could to make our stay a treat. The property is well maintained and very well equipped, plus the views are amazing.

Matthew

Perfect stay. Loved everything about it!

A really lovely place to stay, we would definitely recommend. Stable cottage is in a stunning location and is perfectly well equipped and comfortable. We slept like logs! Plenty of beautiful villages and towns to visit and lots of good dog walks. The owners, Pete and Theresa are very friendly but not obtrusive. We would definitely like to stay again

Harold

This is a well thought out accommodation which provides a great base to explore the area, both around the long mynd and further afield. I would highly recommend it to others seeking a restful stay in a delightful setting.

Rachael

My husband and I and our two dogs have just enjoyed a wonderful stay here for Christmas. After a very busy year for us both we really wanted somewhere we could stay and just relax and this property was perfect. The owners provided us with a Christmas tree and decorations which made it feel very festive and cosy. Our two dogs absolutely loved the secure little garden with grass for them to run around and be safe and while we didnt use the hot tub, the owners were ready to heat it up had we asked and were very accommodating. There is everything in the property provided that you could possibly need and we cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner with all the amenities at hand. Overall a wonderful place, amazing views and near enough to local towns to visit such as Ludlow and Shrewsbury.

We booked our holiday for the purpose of getting away from fireworks with our pooches. We couldnt have asked for any more. It was perfect. Quiet and peaceful. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. It was warm and cosy every utensil you could ever need. Coco our cockapoo loved the sheep thing she thought it was one of her own kind We will certainly recommend

Amanda

We had a lovely 3 night break at stable cottage, peaceful, relaxing, beautiful views, Theresa and Pete were there if we needed them but left us to enjoy our time there. There wasn't a thing I could think of that the cottage hadn't got, very well thought out and very well equipped and very spacious, there was instant coffee, tassimo machine with pods, filtered coffee just as much choice with the tea. I was very impressed, couldn't rate this place enough.... Thankyou Theresa and Pete

Great place to stay. Pub just up the road and small town only 3miles away for anything. We used has a half way point from home and Barmouth took dog's to beach.

Hayley

We had an absolutely amazing time with our 2 dogs and our toddler here, the apartment is gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need, the location is stunning and quiet and the owners were lovely people who went out their way to make sure we were happy there. Really couldn't rate it enough, we've already recommended it to friends and we'll certainly be back, you won't be disappointed staying here.

Stable Cottage is in a stunning location making the most of the beautiful views. Its has everything needed for the perfect holiday. Pete and Theresa are fantastic hosts, really welcoming and there if we needed anything. A totally 5 star experience

This is a fantastic place to stay, Theresa and Pete are amazing hosts and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The cottage was lovely and clean, the hot tub was great and the eggs from their chickens were spot on! We would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely short break, what a gem of a find. The view from the Stable was amazing and the hosts were really helpful, especially in helping to light the wood burning hot tub

Jonathan

Superb, friendly, welcoming owners, extremely helpful without ever being imposing. Great facilities & accommodation for a superb peaceful location for a short, relaxing break!

Amanda

We had such a lovely relaxing stay thank you for allowing us to spend time in your comfortable cottage and its beautiful location. It was especially a joy to watch and interact with the new foals.

Had an amazing stay here, really peaceful and quiet great for the dogs in the enclosed garden. Flat was great and really well equipped with everything you might need. Owners were really amazing and such a beautiful setting on the farm with the animals. Highly recommend!

Trevor

A lovely homely stay. A beautiful property set in amazing grounds. With fantastic and friendly hosts. The facilities at this property are second to none. The hosts have truly gone that extra mile to make your stay ever more comfortable with the little things you wouldnt of even realised you needed. A property you can stay in for 2 nights or 2 weeks. Cannot wait to return. Would and will highly recommend and stay at the Stable cottage.

Lovely property, perfect for a get away from it all holiday. Clean throughout and kitchen is well equipped. I can't think of anything that was missing. Even the dogs are looked after with a blanket and towel provided. Great views across to the long Mynd and lots of wildlife on the doorstep. Hot tub was a bonus! Also lots to do in the area and plenty of places to eat out within a short drive. Friendly hosts made for an easy going holiday.

Lovely property, stunning views and great to be able to be so close to the horses. Bed comfy and other facilities great. Didn't use hot tub. Steps to garden not steep, however they do not lead directly into garden, gate onto garden in at bottom on the stairs so our youngest dog would try to run off ! Once in the garden though it's fully enclosed and great for dogs and children. Kitchen could of been a little cleaner and under sofa cushions too but otherwise was clean and tidy and we had a really nice weekend.

Lilybelle

My mum and I the dog came to stay for 4 days 3nights, we had the most incredible time , the cottage was so clean it looked like no one had ever been in there before us! The bed was so comfy and we had the best nights sleep ever , we had the most incredible views of the horses from our window which was lovely , especially to see the foul aswell. Every detail was thought about including a spare toothbrush as Id forgotten mine! The hot tub was incredible and Pete got it going for us and was perfect for when we came back from dinner. We ate mostly at bishops castle hotel which was incredible and i can highly recommend it, we also ate at the three turns you will need to try their onion rings. We went on lovely walks to the discovery centre and they had many routes to go on, we went to carding hill valley aswell for a lovely 4 mile walk with the dog, very steep hills so defo recommend walking boots. Overall Teresa and Pete were great hosts and we will definitely be returning, such a positive experience and could not fault them at all!

Lovely owners. Really friendly and helpful on arrival. We felt the space worked really well and managed a few home cooked meals in a very well equipped kitchen. Not the easiest with dogs given the stairs which due to rain and snow were wet and slippy. Super warm and cosy.

What a gem! We are a reasonably fit couple with an older dog. It is all upstairs. We were welcomed to 'the stable' By a very friendly Pete and Theresa. They are perfect hosts. The property was very clean and comfortable and in a very pleasant situation within the farm. It is taken as a given that visitors are respectful and have commonsense so does not have the usual overwhelming extensive list of do's and don'ts. It was quiet and restful. We only had a short break and found the surrounding area absolutely stunning and within easy reach. It has given us the much needed boost and break to our busy working days. Many thanks we highly recommend and would happily return.
