  We had a great stay at the old hall barn 2.

  The bath is well equipped with everything you need, the bath is a lot bigger than expected, with lovely homeley touches. The hot tub is just an added bonus. Garden great for the dogs, there is a back gate which is a bit stiff which could do with improving when coming in that way with the dogs after walking. We spent a lot of time at the lovely local pub, beautiful walks are literally on the door step, amazing scenery. We were a little surprised that the dogs were not allowed in the living room or bedrooms, so we spent all our time when together in the one main room. When there are more than two of you it would be nice to have another chair to sit on rather than just the dining chairs. Nevertheless we had a lovely time and the beds were very comfy. There is a washing machine and the owner provides an airer, and a washing line outside.

  The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well-equipped.

  My dogs were very happy in the enclosed garden. Lovely views from the hot tub! The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. There was plenty of wildlife to watch from the garden - my mum even saw a heron close-up, that came down to the stream at the bottom of the garden. There are a lot of walks nearby, with Long Mynd and Carding Mill Valley virtually on the doorstep. Church Stretton is about a 15 minute walk (or a quick drive) away - a pretty little town. The golf course also welcomes walkers and dogs (on leads, there are sheep everywhere) and you can get a coffee there when the clubhouse is open. We had a nice lunch in the beer garden of the pub in Little Stretton, which also allows dogs. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you like walking, or just want to sit and relax.

  We had a great stay in a lovely cottage - however there are 2 areas that would stop us from returning unless rectified.

  1. The sofa in the living area need replacing as it is extremely uncomfortable and we note complaints about this go back to 2019 in the guest book. 2. Why is there no door to the bathroom and toilet area ? We dont think this would be an issue if access was to a shower room only but the toilet is also there. Cardington itself is very picturesque and the local pub The Royal Oak is excellent and only 2 minutes walk from the cottage. We found the locals very friendly and engaging and the Shropshire hills wonderful walking country. The welcome pack from Sue Tyrell was very much appreciated as was the constant supply of logs for the wood burner. All in all a brilliant break apart from the 2 points already noted above and we would definitely recommend and return once the negatives above are rectified..

  The property is stunning everything you need is there.

  We had a fabulous time during our stay. Gorgeous welcome afternoon tea with little cakes awaited us which was such a lovely touch. The only points for the owner is to make is clear what to take as we took the advised bin bags, oven gloves, tea towels , detergents etc and it was already there. Also when you have only booked two nights the checking in at 4pm is incredibly late and uses a massive chunk of the afternoon, and then having to check out by 10am! We were all extremely disappointed with that again all the time used by these check in limitations. If you’re asking a big group to go by 10am striping beds taking rubbish to the bins is an extreme. We all loved the property but due to the restrictions in check in etc I think it out a lot of us off rebooking. Overall the house stunning.

  Great house in a lovely quiet area.

  Good location for visiting different areas of Shropshire via car. Would stay there again. The house was well equipped in the kitchen however I found a couple of pans had quite loose handles - still useable though. Could benefit from a second chopping board for when cutting raw meat rather than using the one for everything. The hot tub was great, but the house could really do with a door mat inside by the back door as when coming in from the hot tub outside you can still be quite wet so this drips straight onto the floor. We also took our own towels which was a god send especially with the kids being in and out of the hot tub a couple of times a day, it made it so we had a spare towel for when showering.
