The Gardener's Bothy (Shropshire), Weston-under-Lizard, Shifnal

About this property

This former gardener’s workshop has been refurbished to the highest standards, offering a spacious open-plan living space, wood burning stove, hi-spec kitchen and large bedroom with luxurious en-suite bath made for two. Set in the historic Weston Park Estate which offers 1,000 acres of ‘Capability’ Brown with direct access through a secret door to The Granary Restaurant.

The Gardener's Bothy, a delightful, romantic property for two is where the Garden's team would have stored their equipment and stopped for a well-earned cup of tea and a rest. With its exposed brick and old country wooden floor, the Gardener’s Bothy has been given a warm scheme with unique touches including a table made out of an antique grape bin.

Entering the property through large glazed doors, the open plan living space features a hi-spec kitchen, wood burning stove, sheep skin rugs and a comfy sofa. The large bedroom has a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a bath made for two, heated floors, twin sinks and soft lighting. A secret door from the garden leads into the historic walled garden with direct access to your very own entrance to the Granary Restaurant for you to explore and enjoy at your leisure.

Set in 1,000 acres of Capability Brown Parkland, Weston Park is a stately home, events venue, visitor attraction and luxury get away all rolled into one. At certain times of the year you will need to share the estate with a wide variety of events that take place in and around the Parkland. There are also times of the year where no events take place on the Estate so please click here to take a look at the calendar – you may even be planning to come along to one! The Shropshire/Staffordshire area also has plenty to explore with the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge and its famous museums, foodie destination Ludlow and historic Chester all within easy reach.​

The Weston Park Foundation, an independent charitable trust who own and maintain the estate, has given each property a new lease of life balancing comfort and modernity whilst remaining sympathetic to their extraordinary heritage thus providing a rare opportunity to stay in the heart of this historical Estate.
