Overview
The Coach House is a charming 18th century semi detached Grade II listed barn conversion which has been traditionally decorated and furnished to provide cosy, well-equipped accommodation. Two bedrooms: 1 x king-size double sleigh bed with TV, Freeview, 1 x family room with king-size double & single bed. Bathroom with bath, shower over, basin & WC. Ground floor basin/WC. Fitted kitchen with dining area. Sitting room with woodburner.
The Coach House is one of two sympathetically developed holiday homes on the owner's 22 acre smallholding which is home to sheep, chickens and a large organic kitchen garden from which eggs and seasonal vegetables can be bought. The cottage has two bedrooms, fitted kitchen with dining area, sitting room with welcoming wood burner, and a pretty, fenced garden – a lovely place to relax and dine in after a day's exploring. Guests benefit from the use of a year-round hard tennis court and coarse fishing (including carp) on the well-stocked 1 acre pond, just 100 yards from the property. Enjoy walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside, or visit the many historical attractions nearby. A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

Reviews
"We stayed in the coachouse for a week with our 3 young children - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the kids really loved the lake and birdwatching hut! They spent hours on end playing in the fields and especially the tennis court. The location is perfect as it is just a short drive into Shrewsbury or Church Stretton and amazing for country walks. The owners are really nice and very helpful - we even arrived to a cake in the fridge!! All in all we had a great time and we will be returning soon."
"Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Not far from lots of attractions and lovely walks. Beautiful grounds to enjoy tennis, fishing and exploring! Very clean and tidy and flowers and cake on arrival from very friendly owners."
"Delightful, cosy cottage in secluded spot, well furnished and appointed and good parking facilities. Beautiful location, owners could not be more accommodating or friendly. Lovely walks close by and great place from which to explore the area. Note this is advertised as not having internet connection but there is free wifi in several places in Shrewsbury."
"Close enough to a town but far enough into rural Shropshire, this cottage was an absolute delight. We were greeted with an immaculate and pretty cottage in super grounds. There was even a plate of tray bakes in the fridge which didn't last long at all! Our two very young children loved the place and we were made to feel very welcome by the owners, who even took us egg hunting in their hen enclosure - my three year old daughter has not stopped talking about this or about Stanley the peacock. The rooms were a perfect size, the facilities fabulous and the beds very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone and will in fact return regularly when time permits!"
