Harry Tuffin is a great store selling just about everything.
Harry Tuffin is a great store selling just about everything. The Discovery Centre is good. Didn't try any pubs in the town. Only saw one but didn't look that attractive, but I didn't try so I'm not qualified to say.

Craven Arms is an excellent jumping-off point for this part...
Craven Arms is an excellent jumping-off point for this part of Shropshire. It's within easy reach of Ludlow, Church Stretton, Bishops Castle, Clun and Much Wenlock. The supermarket - Tuffins - is independent and seems to have got lost on its way to France: is there anything it doesn't sell?
The neighbouring towns are charming and are largely preserved from the 18th century and beyond. Walk down the high street of any of them and it feels like being part of a costume drama.
Most of the shops in this part of the world are independent. There are remarkably few chains and this adds to the allure. It all feels slightly foreign - and inviting.
Stuff to do? Excellent walking! The Long Mynd (above Church Stretton) has a steep climb and staggering views. One of the hidden glories of the UK. Ludlow Market is well worth visiting (as is the town). And there's a huge range of coffee shops and small eateries; craft shops and delis. The Poetry Pharmacy in Bishops Castle (check for opening times in advance) is fabulous: drink coffee and read Byron! It was reviewed by the Guardian and the owner has appeared on Radio 4.

Large village with several food amenities and Shropshire...
Large village with several food amenities and Shropshire Visitor Centre. However not particularly pretty compared with other villages and really more useful as a base for exploring the more interesting surrounding villages and landmarks.
Very nicely decorated clean cottage with good size lounge with wood burner, well equipped kitchen, separate dinning room, two bathrooms one with good shower other with deep bath. 4 tasteful bedrooms with Comfortable beds. Pretty and well kept garden. Off street parking for 1 car or 2 cars at a push. In small very quiet village with no shop. Within easy driving distance of Craven Arms, Wenlock Edge, Church Stretton, Mynd hills, Bishops Castle, Clun, Ludlow and a couple of heritage railways etc.
The location is great, well off the beaten track so peace and quiet. Trevor is very welcoming and just left us to it. I went with a couple of pals for a walking weekend and a chill out. Log burner with and endless supply of free logs is perfect. Beds are comfy. If you want 5 star Hotel accommodation then look elsewhere but if you want a real life experience away from the rat race get yourself to the Eco lodge.
The location is great to explore the hills and countryside of Shropshire. Good shop in nearby Craven Arms. The view towards the hills from the front of the house is stunning and the small balcony with chairs and bistro table is a nice touch. Although there are footpaths nearby to dog walk, I'd recommend the walks from the Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. There are good pubs in the area though none very close.
Very welcoming hosts and a good location, just outside the small town of Craven Arms, for exploring the Shropshire hills and villages. Fully equiped with absolutely everything that you could want and surprisingly spacious. Great private garden with seating and a hot tub area. An hourly direct bus service to Shrewsbury and Ludlow across the road. Would recommend and would book again.
Trevor was our host and he was incredibly kind, accommodating and helpful. He even helped us arrange a taxi back to Craven Arms train station. The accommodation was very unique, incredibly cosy and decorated adorably with many little touches and details. The views of the farm and the Shropshire countryside were amazing. The breakfast was delicious.
Extremely clean and quiet and excellent communication with the owner so everything ran smoothly. Good amount of space for the 2 of us and convenient for local supermarket. Easy parking outside. Craven Arms not the prettiest with few local facilities but well situated for access to lots of great places for walks and cycling.
It is a small cabin, as expected, being very tall the beds were a bit short. Not a complaint in any way. It’s a little cabin so it’s a small bed.
Wonderful beautiful place to stay. Hosts were lovely. What a fantastic place to stay!
Hopefully we will be back in the not too distant future.
Jonathan and Mary (and their delightful dogs and cats!) were most hospitable, starting with a welcome cup of tea and delicious pastry on arrival. The room was comfortable with all necessary facilities, and a beautiful view. Breakfast was very good.
The owners were lovely, very helpful and kind.
It's a very comfortable place.
We really enjoyed Craven Arms.
It was quiet but yet not far from everything and being able to enjoy the garden or to walk from the door into town was very refreshing.
It was nice to have a full kitchen for cooking after a month of travelling. The apartment is clean and cute and the bed is comfortable. Its a short walk to a large grocery store and the must see Shropshire Discovery Center.
Staff could not do enough for us and were fantastic throughout. Hotel was very comfortable with a generous selection of condiments and toileteies provided....Highly recommended.
