Wow, what a home. Built in 1738, this historic manor house in Shropshire is really something special. Grand and generously proportioned, it offers heaps of space for your group to get comfy, including antique-and-art-filled reception rooms that offer a warm welcome after a busy day. Speaking of busy days, there’s plenty to keep you entertained here – swimming in the heated pool, tennis on the private court, or simply enjoying the expansive grounds. It even has its own cricket pitch and pavilion, so you can spend summer afternoons in quintessentially English style. And with Ludlow just a ten-minute drive away, you can easily pop into town to shop, dine, or visit the castle.
