Guests say
Kite's Nest is a well-received cottage in Shropshire, praised for its peaceful, remote location and proximity to walking trails and local attractions. Guests appreciate the comfortable, well-equipped accommodation and the presence of farm animals, which add to the charm. The owners are commended for their responsiveness and hospitality.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only a minor mention of dead flies on a windowsill, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is highly valued for its tranquility, proximity to walking trails, and beautiful surroundings. It is remote, which is mostly seen as a positive aspect, though it may not suit everyone's preferences.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with a particularly cosy bed and warm environment. There is a single mention of a drafty door, but overall, comfort levels are high.
The cottage is well-equipped with necessary amenities, though there are suggestions for minor improvements such as a larger TV or the addition of a washing machine. The presence of a dishwasher is noted, but its utility is debated.
While guests mention thoughtful gestures like a welcome gift and the provision of a footstool, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtfulness across all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, these gestures cannot be guaranteed for future guests.

The rural village of Eaton-under-Heywood lies under both the famous Wenlock Edge and the woods that run along it, and is surrounded by scenic countryside. From the village, the Jacob's Ladder path leads straight up the Edge, providing lovely walks. Nearby is the market town of Church Stretton, which lies in the heart of south Shropshire. It is set amid striking scenery and has often been described as "Little Switzerland". The town is the main centre for Shropshire's hill country and home to a variety of tearooms, pubs and specialist shops. Other local attractions include walks on the Long Mynd, the Acton Scott Working Farm as seen on TV, and Stokesay Castle. The historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, Much Wenlock and Bishops Castle are only a short journey away.
