Guests say
Pultheley Cottage is highly praised for its beautiful design, cozy furnishings, and breathtaking views. Guests love the outdoor patio and hot tub, and appreciate the peaceful, well-maintained gardens. The location offers local walks and proximity to towns for those seeking activities or dining options. Some minor issues with facilities are noted, but overall, the cottage provides a comfortable and relaxing retreat.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its well-maintained state. Only one minor comment about a handrail needing cleaning slightly affects the score.
The location is described as beautiful and peaceful, ideal for a chill-out break. It is within driving distance to local attractions, though some guests noted the nearest pub/restaurant requires a drive.
Comfort is consistently noted, with the bed and furnishings receiving compliments. However, comments about the lack of blinds on Velux windows and the early dawn light affecting sleep slightly reduce the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and EV charger. Some issues like intermittent Wi-Fi, lack of recycling instructions, and a broken fridge compartment catch are mentioned, indicating room for improvement.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The accommodation is beautiful and the bed is super comfy. The hot tub is only a few steps from the property and the perfect way to relax at the end of a day exploring. Towels are provided. The surrounding views of the gardens are amazing. The outdoor areas directly outside the properly are well lit on an evening. We explored Ludlow, Stiperstones, the Long Mynd, Shrewsbury, Church Stretton and Carding Mill Valley which were all <40 mins away. Further afield we got to Lake Vyrnwy, Pistyll Rhaeadr, Ironbridge and Much Wenlock. If youâre planning to eat out on an evening, Bishopâs Castle, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are the closest places with the most options. Thanks for a lovely mini-break. We would throughly recommend!

I have never stayed in such an amazing cottage (and I have stayed in a few)! From the facilities with the hot tub, beautiful gardens, kitchen equipment to the beautiful touches of making sure the cottage heating was on and was lovely and warm on arrival. I also LOVED finding the book inside written by the author at Pultheley Cottage and will have to buy a copy now :)! Thank you very much for a perfect stay!
