The properties in our collection are all self-catering, usually with generous and well-equipped kitchens. This means you can enjoy the flexibility of both cooking at home and eating out in the many local pubs, cafes and restaurants. If you prefer, we can arrange for food deliveries and private chefs through our bespoke concierge service. Our self-catering cottages in Shropshire range from cosy boltholes for couples to large family-friendly holiday homes with gardens and countryside views.

There are several dog-friendly properties across our portfolio, including Halverton Hall in Shropshire. Many have large gardens or access to estates and parkland, making them ideal for pet-friendly getaways.

The Shropshire Hills is a vast expanse, covering over 800 square kilometres of Shropshire countryside. This encompasses walking and cycling trails for all abilities, as well as bridleways and horse-riding routes. As the area’s name suggests, there are also many hills – over fifty, in fact – of varying heights to climb, including the popular Long Mynd, Brown Clee, and the Wrekin. Carding Mill Valley, a National Trust site, is another favourite, offering a family-friendly mix of trails, streams, and scenic viewpoints.

Shropshire offers an enticing mix of unspoilt countryside, historic landmarks, and tranquil seclusion. From the rolling Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to medieval towns like Ludlow and Shrewsbury, it’s an ideal destination for a relaxing yet refined escape.

The Ironbridge Valley is home to multiple attractions, each contributing a voice to the story of Shropshire’s industrial past. Blists Hill Victorian Town conjures up the sights, smells and real-life experiences of its time, complete with a Victorian pub and traditional fish and chip shop. And, at Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery, you can see everything from Roman archaeological finds to fine art. Other highlights include Shrewsbury Castle, which explores the county’s military history, and Stokesay Castle, often described as the finest fortified manor house in England.

Blending ancient landscapes with family friendly attractions, Shropshire offers something for every generation. Children (and adults) can explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge, ride the Severn Valley Railway, or discover castles like Ludlow and Stokesay. Whatever the weather, pop on your wellingtons or sun hats and set out for walks, cycle rides and boating trips in the Shropshire Hills AONB. For younger children, you’ll also find farm parks, wildlife centres, and adventure trails.
