We had a great week at 7 Gretton.. It's a lovely spacious cottage with just about everything you would need for a self catering holiday - although there are so many excellent places to eat in the area that our self-catering was limited to cooking our morning bowl of porridge!! We were welcomed with milk, bread, home-made jam and cakes which was an unexpected treat. You'll soon get used to the narrow lanes although they are very quiet and we rarely met any on-coming traffic. Our SatNav was extremely useful if not essential. It's a well placed cottage for visiting the many places of interest in the area and we'll certainly be back for some more exploring.

We found the cottage so peaceful and very comfortable.. The welcome tray was really yummy and found lots to do and did many walks some from the door. The sympathetic renovation of the cottage was absolutely lovely. The little stroll to the local pub was pleasant.

The peace & quiet.. The views all around were just lovely. The locals very friendly. The cottage was really comfortable, very clean & I had the best nights sleep ever, probably to do with how relaxed you can't help but feel but also the bed which was so comfy didn't want to get up!!. Opened my eyes to the many experiences available when renting accommodation. So much so I have already booked a summer get away for the family in a property in Norfolk. Well done Skye's Cottages

Lovely cottage in a tiny hamlet of Gretton next to a farm, it's so peaceful and dark on a night - if you want some good shuteye away from the hustle and bustle this is a good choice.. It's conveniently located near Cardington village which has a nice pub and Church Stretton is just up the road which has a good sized Co-op as well as other little stores like cafe's, plenty of restaurants and bakeries. Facilities at the cottage are great, all you could need for a week. It's well maintained and clean, spacious for what you need. It was nice to see how the cottage came about (there's a little photo album showing its restoration/expansion). You can't go wrong if you want a well priced week away in the Shropshire hills.

Superb location, very convenient for Church Stretton and the Stretton Hills.. Very well equipped, and a lovely welcome from the owners when we arrived.

Probably one of the best cottages we have had, very nice welcome pack and other thoughtful touches.. Ten minute walk to pub was good, be careful the roads have a lot of potholes so be aware when driving, but all in all a very good week.

Mr Parsons

A very enjoyable stay thank you

The hospitality of Caroline and Harry was warm and gracious.. Little touches like jam, slices and personal introduction were very welcome. The cottage was spotless, comfortable and well appointed and provided an excellent base for our daily outings to local places of interest. We would have no hesitation in returning some time in the future.
