Location
Stable Cottage is a stone-built cottage adjoining the owners' home, in the hamlet of Cwm Head, three miles from Church Stretton in Shropshire. This cottage sleeps two people in a king-size double bedroom. The cottage also has a ground floor bathroom, kitchen and sitting room with dining area. Outside there is off road parking for one car and a patio with furniture. Stable Cottage is an ideal romantic retreat in a wonderful area.
The market town of Church Stretton is situated in the heart of south Shropshire and offers tearooms, pubs and specialist shops.
A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

"This cottage was wonderful and provided us with the perfect location for a break in Shropshire. Everything about it was cosy. The owner was extremely welcoming and came to meet us upon arrival. It's the perfect place to come to get away from the world and sitting the sofa enjoying the view of the birds was an amazing way to start every morning. "

The cottage and the garden were both stunning, and Susie the owner left us a box of chocolates and some jam for when we arrived.

"Stable Cottage itself is comfortable, well appointed and very charmingly furnished. Its situation adjoining the owner's home, a former rectory, is equally pleasing, rural and peaceful. In July, with the garden in full bloom, the view from the sitting room across the terrace to a small woodland was a delight, as was the view of wild birds at the numerous bird feeders. The owner was friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive, and we positively enjoyed sharing space with them. We were blessed with perfect summer weather for our fortnight's stay, but it is clear that Stable Cottage has more than adequate central heating, and would be a very cosy place to stay off-season or in less temperamental weather.
