Much Wenlock is an attractive, historic market town amid beautiful Shropshire countryside. Dating back over 700 years, a trip to Much Wenlock is reminiscent of stepping back in time, as you stroll the twisting streets, past the quaint cottages and timbered buildings, browsing the speciality shops or stopping in the traditional pubs and good restaurants. The remains of the 12th century priory retain a real sense of the grandeur of the original building. The area around Much Wenlock offers excellent walking, riding and cycling, not least along the wonderful Wenlock Edge, a 15 mile ridge which rises over the town and offers glorious views. Visit Ironbridge, Ludlow, Stokesay Castle or Acton Scott Working Farm.
Reviews
"Good sized stone built cottage suitable for four people so even better for just two of us! Very well equipped and comfortable. Great to be in the centre of town so close to shops and pubs etc. Just a short walk to the famous Priory too. We try to stay in a cottage at this time of the year and chose this because of its situation and closeness to other attractions. We are not disappointed. You can read about its amenities elsewhere but take it from us........it really is superb! "
"A lovely welcoming cottage for four adults and two dogs. Fresh flowers, brownies and dog biscuits on arrival, and plenty parking for two cars. Anyone over 6ft tall might struggle with headroom in the shower, but other than that, a real home-from-home in a beautiful part of the country. The cottage was very well equipped, with good quality facilities and utensils. Everywhere was spotless and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing weekend. George and Dragon became our new local, and The Fox served up a superb (and large) Sunday lunch for us meat-eaters and our vegetarian friends, nothing was too much trouble. Went to Tea Junction tea shop on our last day, not only dog friendly, but tasty food, friendly staff and good value for money (as was everywhere else). Much Wenlock is a traditional village, with lots of independent shops (closed on Sunday) but with a very good Spar and Nisa shop at the Shell garage. Hats off to the pharmacy who came up trumps when my husband realised he'd forgotten his meds, totally above and beyond. Our only regret was we didn't stay longer."
"Everything ....great position...walking distance to various pubs...friendly area....great for walking from the door....quality fittings...friendly owner...why bother with anything else....enjoy being made feel special...right from the start...lost for words..."
"The cottage was very comfortable and had everything you needed for your stay. Booking was simple and instructions were clear. On arrival, the owners provided the essentials such as milk, tea coffee and some tasty chocolate brownies. The cottage is in an excellent location for visiting attractions in the local area. The village of Much Wenlock also has a couple of restaurants and pubs. We would book this cottage again if we want to re-visit the area."
"A very well-converted cottage in a lovely little town. Clean, comfortable and homely, with everything you could need. Comfy beds, and nice big bath towels provided. Set back from the road in a quiet courtyard. Pretty paved area for sitting outside, not overlooked by neighbours. Not really secure for dogs or small children however as there is no gate to stop them from running into the road if you are not keeping an eye on them! Bathroom rather small, and the bath with shower over was a bit difficult to negotiate for a taller person, with the slopping roof, and small sized bath. Lots of things to do nearby, and Much Wenlock itself a good town for independent shops, places to eat, and access to the surrounding countryside. Local people all very friendly!"
"Great weekend at roosters the owners have thought of everything. The brownies were delicious upon arrival and the accommodation spotless and had everything you could ask for .only downside was the property is booked up until next autumn otherwise we would have rebooked ."
"We were not disappointed when we arrived to this lovely cottage. It has plenty of room for our daughter to run around outside. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. The beds were super comfy, which was very important for us."
