What our customers say about their holidays

  The accommodation was clean and tidy and matched the photographs.

  Our expectations were exceeded in that there were excellent walks that started from footpaths within 50 metres of the front door -this enabled evening walks with the children which settled them for bed. The small town of Church Stretton was in walking distance, albeit the accommodation was on a hill so would not suit persons of limited mobility. Caer Caradoc and Carding Mill Valley were within hiking distance and provided from the door days out.The conservatory was an excellent space with good views; we relaxed there each evening as the rain pattered on the roof- before setting out again after a passing shower. The kitchen appliances worked well. The bathroom was beautiful with a built in TV feature. The owner responded promptly to a request we had. Our 4 and 6 year old children enjoyed the garden. Parking was for two vehicles was available on the property and access was straightforward. Caer Caradoc (from the house), Stiperstones (half hour drive) Ashes Hollow (5 minute drive) all allowed excellent hill-walking with a mountain atmosphere and wonderful views. The length of the walks suited energetic primary school age children.

  Tregarthens is really well located to explore the Shropshire Hills and the view of the hills from the garden is great.

  There are lovely walks available right from the doorstep. However on arriving only one bed was made up and bedding was only available for one of the two twin beds ( we were not asked which beds we wanted). Some of the furniture is in need of some tlc or replacement. The vinyl facing on the drawers in the second bedroom is loose, so makes it difficult to close the drawers. The springs on some of the seating in the lounge has gone so you sink down too far making them uncomfortable. It was generally clean, but the shower head in the en-suite looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in years. The garden is nice, but for our liking there was too much road noise, considering you are some way from the main A49 running through Church Stretton. There are 3 TVs but none have catch up. There is one bluetooth music player, but that is in the bathroom! Overall the place is ok, but with a bit of effort it could be great.

  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.

  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..

  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.
