  The owners provided an excellent living accommodation with great attention to detail with regards to cooking utensils, toiletries and linen.

  The property was spotless and the super king bed a real treat. However, Sykes advertise the property as having a private garden, with a patio. The photos lead us to believe the property is in its own grounds. In reality it is 20 yards from the owners’ own home and is totally overlooked. We had to keep a blind shut at all times so that we couldn’t be overlooked. We did not have a garden, as the one adjacent to the property belongs to the owners. The “patio” is a path around the property. The owners kindly offered us the use of a field adjacent to their garden, however it was overgrown and full of rubble and at times, had sheep in it so we could not let our dog into it. On sunny days we felt “on show” if we sat outside, as the owner was sitting in her garden and we felt like we were encroaching on her space - however she at no point made us feel uncomfortable, this was just how we felt. Had we known the property was in the owners’ garden - and also on the same site as another holiday cottage - we would not have booked. We do not blame the owners at all - they did everything we could to make us welcome. Sykes; please make your listings accurate. We have tried to get in touch with you to complain, however there is no option to do so. We would like to email you accurate photos of the property and for you to explain why your listing was falsely advertising the property.

  Sarah has set up a lovely place for visitors to stay.

  The accommodation is faultless and very well presented. The super king bed was luxurious. Both pubs in the village are highly recommended for food and drink though the lane from Gerry’s place is only a single track we decided not to walk with our four month old baby. Other places to visit include the Carding Mill Valley for spectacular scenery, Church Stretton has some lovely coffee shops and walks in Rectory woods. The Shropshire Discovery Centre was excellent with lovely walks with our dog and baby, a fantastic cafe and shop and a great museum. Stokesay castle has an amazing timber built gatehouse and Ludlow castle was worth a visit. Ludlow in itself is very beautiful as is Much Wenlock. Gerry’s place was an ideal base to explore all of this as a family. Only down side was that from the property, although very rural, there were no footpaths without having to negotiate the lane for around 0.3 of a mile, not far but not easy with an ageing dog and a young baby.

  Wendy and Chris were absolutely amazing hosts, helpful, contactable if you needed anything and just really nice and friendly people.

  We were greeted by Wendy on arrival and informed of how to access the property (Wendy would usually show guests round but due to covid that wasn’t possible). We had a lovely fresh bread loaf, milk, scones, jam, cream and strawberries waiting for us. This was greatly appreciated after a 3 hour drive!! The whole place was clean, well presented and had by far one of the comfiest beds we’ve slept on! There are 2 lovely pubs close by and the food and service was great! The experience itself is just what we needed- back to nature, romantic, with lots to explore and our dog loved the wildlife too!! We will hopefully be back soon! I would recommend this property to anyone as you are guaranteed to have a lovely stay

  Stay was excellent.

  The cottage was a perfect space for two people and a dog and had everything we needed. The only thing I would say is that the road to and from the cottage is very muddy and without paths, so getting to and from places without a car was a bit tough. It was walkable but us and the dog got filthy in the process as it was a very rainy weekend and as there are no paths, you have to stand in mud to get out of the way of cars, but this isn’t the owners issue. My only issue with the property is that the dining table is collapsible, which made it a little rocky, so we had to be cautious when using it, but that was all. Would stay again!

  This was our first visit to Shropshire and Ragleth Lodge was an excellent base to explore the area.

  Wendy and Chris made us very welcome and their annex is a very comfortable, quiet and secluded place to stay The walking in this area is excellent, varied and with stunning views; some steep climbs but not too high. Four days we walked from the Lodge. The bus service up and down the valley is good - reliable and with friendly and helpful drivers. Church Stretton had a good butcher, baker, deli, small supermarket and a market on Thursdays. The Ragleth Arms in Little Stretton serves good food and beer and the Monday evening special was packed. All in all an excellent holiday - made by amazing weather
