All Stretton Bunkhouse will be putting up its prices (Bad News!); after the summer holidays (Good News)

Sadly we are going to have to put up our prices as – like everyone else – we are facing increased prices on everything – insurance, fuel, water, laundry etc. However, we don’t like the price hikes companies make over the summer holidays, so we are going to hold off until September 1st. Also, if you want to book Christmas, New Year or in to next year you can book at this year’s prices up until September 1st.
It looks like the weather is going to remain fairly summery through August, so have a look to see if we have spaces. Lots to do in Shropshire over the summer. You can walk the hills or mountain bike from the front door of the bunkhouse; wild swim in Cardingmill valley; walk over to Ratlinghope for Farmer Phil’ Festival. Visit Shrewsbury with its independent shops and yummy eateries and take a leisurely boat trip on the River Severn or visit the castle or even the prison! Maybe Gin or Whisky are your thing – how about a visit to the Ludlow Distillery. All accessible using our local bus or rail service. If you’ve got the car Ironbridge Gorge and the Severn Valley Railway are only a short drive from our door.

The reservoir at Cardingmill Valley is close to All Stretton Bunkhouse. Want to go wild swimming in a lovely setting after a short walk in the hills? From the door of All Stretton Bunkhouse, you can walk up the Batch Valley, straight over Haddon Hill and drop down in to Cardingmill Valley. From there, it’s a short walk up the hill to the reservoir.

I took my grandsons there a few weeks back; the eldest was preparing for his Duke of Edinburgh award so I gave him the OS map and he led the way! I have to admit I was tempted but not brave enough but they LOVED it – I couldn’t get them out. The photograph is of them swimming back across the reservoir for the third time! Luckily, the National Trust tea room is a short walk down the valley, so the mention of ice-cream did the trick. If this heat continues, I may join them next time.
