Special for Easter: 20% off, a special welcome basket and an egg hunt! As we are are doing a bit of roofing. Won’t affect you but less pretty in the courtyard

Neighborhood highlights

We love hosting. Child and dog friendly. In 1721 our ancestor built the house to be like an Italian Palazzo, and we came back from working in London to look after it, after lockdown. An 18th estate rewilded, but with all mod cons like very hot water, fast wifi – 125 Mbps, nice cotton sheets, Nespresso machine! Also with flowers, trees, water, lots of wildlife, badgers, otters, hawks. We also grow our own organic flowers and veg. Swings, private lakeside for picnics and a fire. Wild swimming if you’re brave and the lake is full enough. Otherwise there’s the freezing river. Walks from the house. Swings, but there’s a more exciting council playground half a mile away, and a skatepark

A company will come and bring you a wood fired sauna for around £150; it’s lovely!

A quiet rural area (but with a corner shop 5 min drive/bike away, open til 11 with a bakery and wine) with a private lake, woods, with wild swimming at the mill pond at the end of the drive.

Happily we are 10 mins drive from The Bear, which may be the best pub in England! In September 2022 it got a five-star review in The Telegraph - saying "the food is magnificent..with utterly charming staff and an air of slick hospitality, The Bear is impeccable". Its still a local and some menus are attached below.

Fordhall Community Farm is a couple of miles away, with countryside events, lots for children, and a good kitchen/dining room, butchery and shop, cute piglets, walks around the farm. Market Drayton, the nearest town, 10 minutes drive away, has a 1,000 year old chartered market on Wednesdays, with a growing food scene, restaurants, local shops and pubs, with home brewed beer, and a swimming pool and community cinema. Shrewsbury, a historic town, is 30 mins away, with great antiques and book shops, independent dress shops and a craft market on some Saturdays, also great restaurants and cafes, and boats on the river! Ironbridge Gorge is 30 min away. Cardingmill Valley and the Shropshire hills are great to walk

We live in the other part of the house, the wing is a Victorian entertainment wing, but won't encroach. Its a big house
We are very happy to help with supermarket shops etc and can put your shopping in the fridge/cupboard before you come
Also we can do a lasagne for you with salad, bread, ready for you hot in the oven (£60)
We also have a cottage on Airbnb that sleeps six, in the grounds, which you can combine

We live in rural Shropshire, which is beautiful and so green
