About this property
A delightful, early 19th century, detached coach house conversion, in a courtyard within the grounds of an old rectory, in the sleepy village of Shrawardine; a wonderful opportunity to enjoy one of our quality Shropshire cottages. Old Coach House has been skilfully developed to a very high standard to create an enticing combination of original character features with modern facilities, to offer welcoming, well-equipped accommodation. The approach to the cottage has lovely views towards the Breidden Hills and Rodney's Pillar, whilst the scenic Severn Way Walk runs beside the cottage. Wonderful walking can be enjoyed in the Shropshire Hills, and National Cycle Network route 81 is just 50 yards from the cottage. Within easy reach are Shrewsbury, Church Stretton, Ludlow, the Ironbridge Gorge, Stokesay Castle and Acton Scott Historic Working Farm. A luxury Shrawardine cottage in an ideal location.
Shrawardine is a quiet and secluded village situated in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, ideally located for touring this scenic county. Shrawardine is an easy drive away from the stunning Shropshire hills of the Long Mynd, Stiperstones and Caradoc, with their exceptional walking, biking and horse riding opportunities. Shrawardine is home to the fascinating ruins of a 13th Century Norman castle with impressive views. Just six miles away the medieval city of Shrewsbury, offering a choice of shops, pubs and restaurants, a new theatre, timber-framed black-and-white buildings, riverside walks, an abbey and a castle, is waiting to be explored. Also close to Shrawardine are Church Stretton, Ludlow, the Severn Valley Railway and the Ironbridge Gorge museums.

The whole property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location was great for us and we managed to visit 6 historic houses and castles during our 5 night stay. The ground floor bedroom with en-suite was a must for us and the 2 further bedrooms upstairs were a very generous size.

Quiet little village within easy reach of Shrewsbury. Property feels larger and airier than expected. Warm and cosy. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The large log burner (in the lounge) was great at promoting a relaxing atmosphere in the evenings. Owners were very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. The thoughtful welcome items, placed in prior to our arrival, were much appreciated. Will highly recommend this property and hope to return in the future.

We were grateful to be able to arrive a little earlier at 4 because 5 o'clock arrival is too late and in our opinion should be lowered
