Goosepond, Upper Farmhouse, Woolston, Wistanstow, Strefford, Shropshire, SY6 6QD

Our second visit , and even more enjoyable than the first! This time, there is much better WiFi, and we have come for a week instead of a weekend.

Our lovely hostess, Ellie has been giving us advice on her favourite walks in the area, as well as supplying us with a generous amount of logs for the log burner.

The Cottage is spotlessly clean, spacious and very well equipped.

Highlights for us : The generous welcome hamper, the fabulously effective log burning stove, excellent shower, huge comfy bed, fluffy towels, coffee machine , great sized fridge freezer

From the helpful and informative phone call with the owner, to the warm welcome at this beautiful country retreat - this whole experience was just wonderful.

For a change, decided to spend the New Year weekend at Goosepond, was amazed at the personal touches and the warm welcome including a sumptuous festive hamper and bottle of wine, and a welcome message on the blackboard, such incredible and warm personal touches that really mean a lot. Then to the accommodation itself which is perfectly located in the most idyllic spot, surrounded with lush countryside

Goosepond Cottage is one of those places which really does live up to expectations.

From the first friendly email from the owner, to the minute we sadly waved goodbye, this has been a lovely experience.

Following the directions given, we found the cottage (in the dark) without a problem. When we arrived, the underfloor heating had been switched on and the whole cottage was lovely and warm.

What a lovely touch - the welcome hamper containing local free range eggs, butter and delicious bread, home made scones and jam and milk in the fridge.

We and our dog had a lovely 3-night break at Goosepond and will definitely be back. The cottage is beautifully decorated, comfortable and very well equipped. It's in a hamlet and well away from busy roads, so all we heard was birdsong and sheep, yet it's easy to get to Church Stretton and the Long Mynd, Ludlow, Bishops Castle etc. Plenty of good walking (including short walks from the doorstep for evening dog walks with a view!) and attractive little towns to keep us occupied. Highly recommended.
