The floor heating is simply

Amazing stay, thank you.
Tom Heath, Oxford, U.K. 25/10/24

Mike & Frankie, thank you for your welcoming help on our arrival, you were both fantastic. What an awesome venue beautifully cared for & provided us an alpine(ish) experience! The long Mynd is superb with Wales right out the door.
Martin- Large Outdoors, 20/10/24

Have been here before and never disappointed us. Very kind people and a beautiful area. Even with the heavy rainfall and flash floodings, Mike stayed very polite and positive. We helped where we could, and they made sure we had everything we needed. Wee’ll definately return here!
Michelle & Jerome, The Netherlands, 17/10/24

Lovely Bunkhouse in a beautiful part of the UK. It was great to have a dryer after I returned soaked after a rainy day.
Tineke Slof, Leeuwarden, the Netherlands, 27/9/24

What a gem! Comfortable + fun to meet people from all parts of the world. I hope to be back!
Richard Moulson, Milford Haven 26/9/24

First time of staying and very impressed with the place. Very cosy, we completed several challenging walks and it was great to return to the comfort of the Bunkhouse. Good idea to have a board naming the occupants & the three different dorms. Surprised on Tuesday to have an extra body in dorm but name not on board.

apologies, booking was at very short notice, we do try to keep the board current for guests.

Great location, trails that start from the Bunkhouse. Comfortable, warm, peaceful. Very sociable, would definitely return.

Terry, Widnes 17/9/24

Lovely bunkhouse! Perfect location to explore the Shropshire hills (inc Stiperstones with the shuttle bus) and enjoy nature, peace and the sheep from the picknick bench. Thank you!
Susan Enschede, the Netherlands 10/9/2024

Beautiful location. Very Peaceful.
Lucy & Family Monmouthshire 5/9/24

The most beautiful location, we’ve stayed here a few times over the years and it’s always impeccably clean and has all the facilities you need.
Tansy, Gloucestershire, 29/8/24

Great visit, loved the location & everything very clean and comfortable.
Karen & Joanna St Helens and Gloucester

Wonderful attention to detail in all facilities. Couldn’t be better!
John N Ireland 22/8/24

Very comfortable and clean. Well equipped kitchen and shower room. Perfect Location! def be back. Only downside- which was a slight issue for me- windows don’t open in the ‘girls dorm’ upstairs so it was quite stuffy.
Kate 22/8/24
Sorry to hear you were uncomfortable Kate. You can open the Velux windows (over the Bunks). If it’s raining, just open them enough to get air-not water, also there is a fan that can be used. Mike & Frankie

Return I did. This time for a week, and I still wish I could stay for longer. I recommend going on the shuttle bus to Snailbeach. Then stop at the Bog for a cuppa & cake.
Kevin, Shropshire 29/7/24 to 5/8/24

A lovely stay. Perfect base for our family get-together. The Bunkhouse was very comfortable. Thank you.
Irene Jones, Colchester Essex 29/7/24

This is the perfect place to get away from the hustle & bustle. Waking up to birdsong and tumbling water is very relaxing. I am most impressed with the kitchen, one of the best equipped I have seen for some time.
Matthew Wyatt, Hertfordshire, Stevenage 27/7/24

A wonderful Bunkhouse, clean and tidy, well equipped. Good shower, comfortable beds, peaceful and quiet. Tucked away in a lovely valley where you can hear the stream trickling away. Lots of good local info, I’ll return.
Kevin, Shropshire 26/7/24

A very enjoyable short stay in this delightful spot.
John Barber, Solihull 17/7/24

This has been a wonderful place to stay, and I’ll be back! Great base for hiking and making use of the Shuttle Bus. However, too hot during the first couple of nights and a little shelf for top bunks would be great if they could be incorporated. Thank you!
Angela Clark, Hebden Bridge 14/07/24

Very comfortable. Smallness makes for friendly atmosphere. Cooking facilities shower etc really good. Enjoyed it!
Ian Hill Leeds, Yorkshire 11/7/24

It was perfect! and very, very clean. Thanks a lot.
Jan, Wilma Netherlands 5/7/24

We had a very nice time staying here in All Stretton. It is a lovely place, and the scenery is very good. The bunkhouse was a very good answer, and we are looking forward to coming again soon.

Thought ‘bunkhouse’ meant ‘rough & ready’. This is anything but! Luxury, IMO. Many thanks for establishing such a charming, clean and comfortable hostel.

This is a delightful place. High quality everything-comfortable beds and bedding-Ecover products! Was woken up at 5.15 by a bird conversing with another, very melodiously (what was it?). Only passing through to the Peak District, but delighted to have been here.
Christine Walton, Devon, 29th April 2024

Wonderful discovery, I’ll be back. So many Independents only take groups. This is great for solo explorers.
Ned H, Richmond 17/4/24

Really helpful to have an OS map in the Bunkhouse-thank you. Very comfortable accommodation and helpful instructions and communication- thank you. Enjoyed stunning hikes and visiting family. Great connection with the Yew Tree pub- great beer & great food. Hope to see you again.
Debbie Prince & Cam Prince, Glasgow & San Diego 16/4/24

Great accommodation, great hostel, superb views, excellent Eco-friendly products in the bathroom and kitchen, nice rooms. We all had a lovely time, thank you. It would be good to have instructions on what to do with the rubbish inside the building.

    Lovely accommodation, lovely house, all modern cons you could want. Great views. Eco products in bathroom and kitchen, lovely rooms. We had a smashing time thank you. Would be good to have cardboard recycling facility.

      Great location for walking in the Shropshire hills. We enjoyed tea at Berry’s in Church Stretton and walks across the Lawley, Little Caradoc, Caer Caradoc and up Jonathon’s Hollow. The Bunkhouse is well equipped, cosy and ideal as a base for all our adventures. Loved the underfloor heating, drying space and boot sluice. Mike was really helpful, excellent info on walks in folder. We will be back, so many walks, so little time.
      Kim and Ann, Telford. 14/1/24

      Very clean, warm, great facilities provided & fabulous location. The owner is extremely pleasant and made us feel very welcomed. Thank you!

      Lovely stay-super nice bedding. Heather and Batch was a great cafe to work in. I didn’t night walk in the end- but a late evening stroll up Lightning Spout & down Ashes Hollow was great.

      Ed + Bristol Uni Geology Grads 2011/2012 5/11/22

      We had a lovely walk over the Mynd to the Bridges pub where we had a delicious meal. The Bunkhouse gave us everything we needed. Loved watching the Nuthatches and Finches from the kitchen window- and the wild horses! Thanks Mike.

      Great overnight stay-fabulous walks, nice meal in the pub & well equipped/comfortable. Thank you
      Sarah Toner 2/10/22

      Good location. Managed plenty of dog walks with easy access to good walks. No need to drive to get to good walks. Well equipped with kitchen appliances. Bunks may be a bit small if you are taller than 6ft. Some ceilings a bit low too.
      Nadia, Altringham, Cheshire. 30/8/22

      Reply:- unable to fit larger bunks in the available space.

      Excellent all round, excellent underfloor heating and a very warm place. All facilities EX!

      Thank you so much for sharing your Goat shed with myself and countless others. What you have done is extraordinary, its warm, cosy and feels like a home which is different to so many other Hostels. The location is also perfect to walk into the hills straight away which offers both interesting walks and stunning scenery, well worth a visit.
      Amelia, Chester, 26th-28th September 2019

      Everything we needed, great. Nice and clean.
