If you’ve been craving a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, this country cottage in the heart of Shropshire could be just what the doctor ordered. Situated just thirty minutes from the centre of Shrewsbury, this riverside retreat is ideal for families – furry friends included – or a small circle of friends, boasting three snug bedrooms and a generous kitchen, perfect for cooking as a group.  

Start your day with a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar then wander down to the river for a dip in the natural plunge pool. You’re surrounded by 10 acres of greenery here, so why not make the most of it? Go for a gentle stroll in the fresh air, keeping an eye out for local wildlife, or ask your host to help you arrange a private yoga session in the great outdoors.  When dusk falls, head down to the quarry firepit for an evening of stargazing or slip into your private hot tub and treat yourself to a long soak beneath the trees.

Snowy by the River

Indulge in the joy of living in a heart-warming, modern haven nestled in picturesque Shrewsbury. Located amidst the pulse of historic charm, the warm aura of artisan shops, quaint coffee houses and top-notch eateries is just a delightful saunter away. The soulful fusion of modern comfort and vintage architecture invites one to relish the spacious ambience, enhanced by a SMART TV and fully equipped kitchen. Get a taste of history on Mardol, one of Shrewsbury’s oldest streets with captivating views right from your stay. The home includes an inviting double bedroom and a contemporary bathroom featuring a restorative walk-in rain shower. Exclusively yours during your stay, feel at home away from home at this unique hideaway that exudes tranquillity amidst city hustle-bustle.

Shrewsbury Oasis

The medieval town of Shrewsbury is the truly historic heart of Shropshire, with nearly 700 listed buildings in a town of just over 70,000 people. With such a striking skyline and such fine examples of 15th-century construction techniques, it’s no surprise that your home is another architectural marvel. This terraced house has been completely refurbished in a superbly modern fashion. Our favourite spot has to be the bright and airy open-plan living space. With its wonderful bi-folding doors, this clever design essentially removes the wall between your home and your south-facing courtyard garden (perfect for the unpredictable English weather). Mid-century furniture looks stylish in the lounge, while the roll-top tub up in the master en-suite brings a vintage edge to proceedings. For more on local history, take a stroll through town to reach Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery in just eighteen minutes. Another fantastic walk is along the River Severn. Your home is just three minutes from the riverbank, from where you can follow it all the way across the border to Wales. It’s definitely one for experienced hikers with a strong pair of boots though, at just over ten miles away.

Town of Flowers

Located on the edge of the main square, you're going to struggle to find a more central home than this renovated townhouse in Shrewsbury. Step out your front door and you're surrounded by restaurants, shops and a cinema in a Grade-I listed Elizabethan building.

Rather impressively for an address with such a prime position, this home is huge and can quite easily accommodate large groups. The building is split into three separate apartments on each floor, which adds a welcome degree of privacy for families travelling together.

The design throughout is fresh and contemporary, with discernible mid-century influences visible in the furnishings. That being said, a few period features have been retained in the interior's modernisation, including embellishments on the ceiling, large sash windows and opulent fireplaces — sadly only ornamental, but still pretty nonetheless.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the historic market town, Shrewsbury Castle is seven minutes' walk in one direction and the riverside parkland in The Quarry is five minutes by foot the opposite way. The surrounding county is full of unspoilt countryside and you can drive over to the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in just under twenty minutes, too.

The History Books

Cradled in the heart of historic Shrewsbury is an enchanting town-centre treasure radiating modern charm amid classic architecture. This duplex invokes a truly immersive experience, steeped in the allure of timber-framed buildings, monumental landmarks and ancient town walls unfolding right at your doorstep. Picture stepping out to be welcomed by winding cobbled streets humming with unique boutiques, traditional caffes and eclectic eateries. The duplex welcomes guests with a genteel panorama over Castle Street rooftops, accented by an inviting balcony overlooking St Marys's Church - perfect to unwind after a day of exploration. Dream under high ceilings, ensconced by original beamwork on the third floor while downstairs awaits two plush double bedrooms promising peaceful rest. A harmonious blend of old-world magic meets contemporary comforts ensures you will create timeless memories during your stay.

Shrewsbury Quarter Hideaway

Enjoy a romantic stay at this handsome barn conversion, lying at the end of a track, on a family-run arable farm, surrounded by fields – this is a sublime retreat. Relax with a glass of bubbly in the private hot tub with its idyllic views through the farm to the fields beyond (your lovely hosts provide bathrobes and slippers), then savour a barbecue lunch in the sun. It's also the perfect spot to do a bit of stargazing when the night skies are clear and full of sparkling diamonds. Beautiful bi-fold doors provide plenty of light inside this single-level barn, which was once a grain store. We love the gorgeous stone floor and exposed wooden roof beams framing the high ceiling. A fresh colour scheme of pale cream, yellows and greys complement the rustic yet stylish design. If you can tear yourself away from this love nest, there's plenty to explore. Go for a walk to the historic riverside village of Bidford-on-Avon, sixteen minutes on foot, where you'll find an array of charming pubs, restaurants, shops, and a picturesque church built in 1250. Or visit Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, around a twenty-five-minute drive, while stunning Warwick Castle is a few minutes more in the car. The magnificent Cotswolds are on your doorstep too – Hidcote Manor Garden, near Chipping Campden, just over a fifteen-minute ride, which has one of Britain's most influential Arts and Crafts gardens.

Shakespearean Elegance

Escape to this idyllic Herefordshire retreat, perched on top of a hill beside an iron-age fort and offering breathtaking countryside vistas. Perfect for a multi-generational family stay (with two dogs in tow), alongside the main barn, there's a smaller stone barn (connected on the first floor) offering a snug, two further bedrooms and a well-equipped playroom. If you can lure yourselves from the enclosed private garden, you're just a five-minute drive from the historic market town of Bromyard with delicatessens, butchers and pubs for a taste of county life. 

The Vintage Farmhouse

Just a few steps from Shrewsbury Castle and the town centre, you can easily soak up the sights of historic Shrewsbury during your stay at this apartment – plus, with easy access to the train station, day trips are a breeze, too. The living space overlooks the road, so you'll feel immersed in town life as soon as you arrive (though some might find it a little noisy), and the fully-equipped kitchen is handy for cosy meals at home. It might lack character, but you won't spend much time at home – not when you're in such a great location. 

A Slice of Shrewsbury

Amidst the historic streets of Shrewsbury, this apartment offers a contemporary sanctuary. There’s a terrace with outdoor seating for warm weather drinks. Inside, you’ll find light, space and all the essentials you could need for a relaxing stay. It’s worth noting you can hear some street noise inside the apartment, but we think the location more than makes up for it. Outside it’s just a short stroll to restaurants, bars, cafes and local sights. Plus, if you’re travelling by car, your host can arrange parking nearby for a small additional fee. 


Dreaming of You

This delightful Shropshire home is made up of two cottages and some lovely outside space, including wrap-around patios and fenced gardens. The whole family – including four-legged friends – can spend time together here, as the open-plan garden room is large enough to accommodate all sixteen guests. One cottage has a snug that doubles as a movie room that’s perfect for kids, so the grown-ups can make the most of the hot tub. You’ll have access to the riverbanks of the Severn, where you can fish or set off for a wild swim. 

The Squire

Discover Shrewsbury's medieval allure from this lovingly updated second-floor abode nestled amidst a bustling town brimming with inviting eateries, popular bars, quaint cafes and independent shops. The retreat subtly blends old-world charm and present day elegance, ideal for travellers seeking unique experiences. Occupying a third-floor perch reached via a series of stairs, this dwelling offers expanded views of Shrewsbury  skylines. An open-plan living area enhances the perception of expansiveness and brightness; original beam work accentuates its historical authenticity. A snug kitchen accompanies a dining arrangement, alongside a lounge spot boasting SMART TV facilities. A modern bathroom with an impressive walk-in rain shower caters to refreshing escapades while the cosy double bedroom invites restful slumbers.

Historical Whispers

A small town with an intriguing history, the compact grid system of Caerwys was allegedly the model layout for the first settler who mapped out the city of Philadelphia. But far from its transatlantic, urban sibling, this quaint village has stuck to its rustic roots. At the heart of the town, a five-minute walk from the golf club, four from the 13th century St. Michaels Church, and less than a minute from your nearest pub, this cottage is ready to welcome you home. As you arrive, its rugged stone exterior oozes rural, village charm. The white door beckons you inside, where underfloor heating allows you to explore every room in warmth and comfort. Its cosy, traditional lounge features a wood-burning stove and plump leather sofas – perfect for snuggling up with a classic novel as you sip hot chocolate. But on summer days, the conservatory at the back offers a modern, sunlit nook for sipping chilled pinot grigio. We love the stylish, bi-folding doors leading out to your private patio and courtyard. With picnic benches, a barbecue, alfresco dining table, plus a view of the aforementioned church, you’ll be spending every balmy afternoon in this idyllic spot.
