Property Description

Holiday home

Area
The pretty village of Bucknell nestles in the beautiful valley of the River Teme in South Shropshire, close to the borders of Wales and Herefordshire. This is a lovely area of peaceful unspoilt countryside, but still offering much interest for the visitor - the historic market town of Ludlow renowned for its superb restaurants, Ironbridge with its famous museums, and the county town of Shrewsbury are all within easy driving distance.

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 was the 22nd time we have visited Fiddlers Green, Bucknell and as always we found it well presented, clean and comfortable.. As previously stated we look upon it as a home from home. We would recommend it to anyone.

Lovely old period cottage very comfortable.. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped and lovely location.

This was our 4th holiday at Fiddler's Green, but of course our first one during the pandemic so we weren't sure whether to expect anything different.. The house was spotlessly clean, and we felt completely reassured that everything would be fine. The only slight difference was that we could access the house from 5pm rather than 2pm, but it didn't bother us at all. There needs to be a longer cleaning window between guests. This cottage is superbly situated for peace and quiet, yet in a lovely village which is so interesting to walk around. There's a fantastic gastro-inn within walking distance too, The Baron, which we went to three times in a fortnight! The food and service there is superb, but remember to book. The cottage has a spacious, restful garden with a perfect place to sit on the top terrace, and comfy garden chairs. We take our own pillows, as quite a lot of the bedding is filled with down, but there's one double quilt which is anti-allergenic. We particularly enjoyed having use of the piano too, but took our own board games this year. The owner is easy to communicate with, and very helpful. A super place to stay.

Terrible smell of industrial disinfectant when we arrived.. Did not seem to abate and we cut holiday short and came home half way through the week. Altogether spoilt our holiday. Also phone taken out and being elderly we may have needed this. Did not enjoy it at all

I am particularly fond of this area of Shropshire/Herefordshire, with the rolling countryside, woods, forests and off-the-beaten track walking routes.. This bungalow is a delight to return to each day, so comfortable and well-equipped. The car was left parked for the whole time, with so many walks from the door with intriguing paths to follow. I was so glad I spoke to the owner beforehand, informing me there was an electric piano, as we were able to bring music and really enjoyed playing it. That was the icing on the cake!

Fiddles Green is a wonderfully comfy, cosy, and exceptionally clean time capsule, it is like staying at my Nan's when I was younger! It has everything you could want in a home from home. Wonderful garden (although due to the wet weather we were not really able to appreciate it fully) Bucknell itself is a beautiful, friendly village, a walk around the river is recommended, as is a visit to the Sitwell Arms, where a friendly welcome is assured by Steve the landlord and the locals, can definitely recommend the fish, chips and pint night! A visit to Rita's Tea Rooms at Eardisland, a very pretty black and white buildings village, is also a must. The Lion at Leintwardine although a little pricey is well worth a visit in its picturesque setting on the river and Ludlow is amazing, visit the Green Cafe by Dinham bridge and go for a walk along the river Teme, watch out for the Heron and kingfisher, lots of lovely little independent shops inc a lovely handmade chocolate shop called the Chocolate Box tucked away down a little alley called Attorneys Walk...heaven! The deli, with freshly ground coffee and loose teas! And the castle rounded off a very nice day. Wigmore castle is also a wonderful ruin to visit. As you drive through Brampton Bryan do stop to look at the amazing yew hedges. Although the weather was against us we had an amazing holiday and cannot recommend Fiddlers Green, Bucknell and Sykes Cottages enough.

Fiddler's Green is such a lovely cottage, which has a certain 'period-charm' that reminds me of visiting my grand parents when I was much younger.. There is plenty of space and it was sufficiently equipped although it would have been more beneficial to us if it had a tumble drier, but that didn't stop us drying our wet cycling gear on a daily basis. It was the perfect base for cycling and exploring the Shropshire/Herefordshire/Powys countryside as well as enjoying some peace and tranquillity. There are also some lovely walks in the area and plenty of information in the cottage of what to do and where to go with maps of local walks of varying distances. It has a beautiful, sheltered garden that is perfect for sitting out and enjoying the serene surroundings in privacy from the neighbouring properties. The locals were friendly and welcoming wherever we went especially in the local pub. There is a local shop and a large Co-op in the next village just a 5-mile drive away or Tesco Superstore in Ludlow, which is about a 30-minute drive. I would highly recommend a stay at Fiddler's Green!

This was my second visit to Fiddlers Green The cottage has a lovely atmosphere, obviously cherished and beautifully cared for The garden is a real bonus, being spacious and having a sunny outlook (part of the time) the surrounding countryside is great for walks.. Two good placed for food within walking distance local small general shops (with hairdresser!) and the Railway Station near by for 'Heart of Wales' line. Excellent holiday location

It was the 20th time we've stayed at Fiddlers Green, Bucknell and we keep going back as it's like a home from home to us.. It is so peaceful and has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing holiday and the property is always well prepared. A bonus this time we had a lovely week weather wise.
