About this property

Set in a picturesque farmyard location on a 100-acre working cattle farm on the outskirts of the Shropshire village of Leighton, it is ideal for a romantic getaway.

Just a few yards away is the rest of the accommodation housed in a section of a barn conversion and includes a modern shower room and a fitted kitchen with a dining area and another TV. There are lovely farmland views from both parts of the accommodation with the majestic Wrekin Hill in the background. Just a short drive away are the world famous Ironbridge Gorge, Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury, Wroxeter Roman City, various NT properties and the stunning South Shropshire Hills.

The Ironbridge Gorge is one of the country's most delightful tourist attractions; situated in a lovely wooded valley, the village has many pubs, restaurants, shops and tea rooms. A collection of industrial and Victorian themed museums make up the Ironbridge Museums, including the renowned Blist Hill Victorian Village, where you can step back in time.

    Very clean and comfortable. Good mattress and sofa. Cosy and warm. Nice cottage furnishings making it feel very homely. All in all an enjoyable and good value stay in an area with lots of great walks and places of interest. We hope to return.
