Located in a secluded hamlet close to Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock, this recently converted barn is the perfect rural escape for those wanting to explore beautiful Shropshire. An area full of scenic walks, historic sights, and gastro hotspots, there’s plenty to do while enjoying the peace of this country getaway. The home boasts original oak beams and a brick hearth, giving the living room plenty of character and charm while still feeling elegant with its checked designer sofas and open kitchen. Outside, the south-facing private garden terrace is the perfect, tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee before setting off to explore the Shropshire region. Shrewsbury, Ludlow, and the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, are all just a 30-minute drive away, allowing plenty of opportunities to fill up on both history and nature in equal measure. After a day of sightseeing and walking, come back home for a soak in the tub before curling up by the log fire with a glass of wine. Heavenly.

About Herefordshire
Sandwiched between the Midlands and Wales, and hugging both the Malvern Hills and the Brecon Beacons, Herefordshire – despite its wild landscapes and dramatic history – still manages to feel like a well-kept secret. This county’s scenery feels veritably Wordsworthian with its Daffodil Way trail, rapeseed yellow fields, pockets of pink blossoms hiding candyfloss-like sheep and the sparkling River Wye weaving through sun-speckled valleys.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
