About this property
Church Stretton 7 miles.
A lovely ground floor barn conversion on a working farm, wonderfully sited in 200 acres of the owner's land, just opposite the medieval church in the pretty rural village of Stapleton. This semi-detached property still retains a wealth of features from its original use as a dairy house, such as exposed beams and an original cattle stall, which now separates the dining area from the cosy sitting area. Furnished to a high standard, the property boasts stone flagged flooring and makes an ideal romantic retreat. The amenities of Church Stretton and Shrewsbury are within easy reach, as are the rest of Shropshire's attractions and superb walking country. A lovely base at any time of year.
Church Stretton's glorious setting in a narrow valley earned it the name 'Little Switzerland' from the Victorians who tried to establish it as a spa. It has some of the most dramatic and spectacular hills in the British Isles; Long Mynd guards the West and the escarpment of Wenlock Edge lies to the East. Caer Caradoc, formed by volcanic ash and lava over 560 million years ago, once had an Iron Age hill-fort on its summit. The geology of the area is intriguing and has earned the hills acclaim as a Site of Special Scientific Interest as well as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ragleth Hill allows you to take in stunning 360 degree views, taking in the Long Mynd, Caer Caradoc, the Lawley, Wenlock Edge and the Clee Hills. Church Stretton also draws visitors for its famous 18-hole golf course, which claims to be the highest in England.

lots of ways to keep warm and the hosts were super friendly and even let us look and feed their news lambs which was very kind of them. The games barn had lots of activities to do which kept us busy. Would definitely recommend!

The owners were welcoming and helpful but also gave us space and privacy. Loved the wood burner! Great off-lead dog walks , and handy for both Shrewsbury and Church Stretton. Thank you for a very happy week.

Already booked for next year as children wanted to return. The play barn is perfect to let them run off steam and they were also able to meet the animals. The cottage itself is very comfortable and has everything you need. It's become our little escape from the rat race down south. Extremely good value for money.
