  The muffins, tea and milk were much appreciated on arrival.

  Sadly the busy A49 on one side, the railway on the other and wood yard next door were not mentioned at the time of booking which made this not the most peaceful place we have ever stayed. The beds were lovely and comfortable. Although the living room and kitchen were tiny, the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. The bathrooms were ok, however the shower in the double room despite being mentioned in numerous reviews still remains dangerously hot! A couple of bulbs could also do with being replaced in the over mirror lights. Parking is plentiful. However, the garden is not ideal for a young family-all gravel and uneven paving but ok for sitting out in the sunshine. Have stayed in a number of holiday cottages before and felt the local information, leaflets, etc was rather limited here.

  Loved the look of The Little Dingle when we arrived,was very cute & off road which was great.

  Once we got our belongings in & started to unload there was a few things noticed. No liners were in the bins in the bedrooms & bathrooms,the bin in the bedroom off the kitchen had hairs & nail clippings in it! The microwave & fridge looked like it hadn't been wiped out. There were many dead insects about too.The towel rail in the bathroom(off the kitchen kept falling off,we fixed it simply,also the shower was very hard to use in that room,water was so hot & adjusting it was hard work) there were no bath mats in either showers which made them a little slippery. Would of liked to of seen some cleaning supplies (l did take some along with me) unfortunately every time we had the back door open for evening air we were over run by huge hornets,moths & many other flying insects,maybe a fly curtain up at the door could prevent against this. We left two days early of the holiday sadly as my friend suffers with Parkinsons disease, & he found it too slippery in the shower without a mat. I don't like leaving a negative feedback but feel l have to on this occasion. The cottage is lovely,loved the beds,they were very comfortable,bedding was fab,towels too but l feel a bit more of a clean overall would of been good

  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.

  The cottage was was very well equipped with high quality goods and excellent bedding.

  The bedrooms were also top quality. The only thing needed is a proper good sized mirror above the dressing table instead of just a small makeup mirror. Also mirror in bathroom to high (not everybody is tall). Entrance to the property is difficult as it is not easy to see and it’s off the very fast and busy A49. Didn’t see the owners of the cottage, would have been nice to have a “hello” as they lived next door. Back step needs cementing as it wobbles and showers while being very good are extremely slippery! On the whole the cottage was excellent and well located and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
