Luckily, bathrooms and kitchen have been updated and deliver the modern comforts we can't live without. Cooking in the country-style kitchen is an absolute pleasure. Take your meals outside to the extensive garden with stunning views over the hills, or fire up the charcoal barbecue for an outdoor grilling session.

Click to book Shropshire Lad now: from £325 per night If you’re looking for the English rural idyll you just found it. Surrounded by rolling countryside in the most tranquil part of southern Shropshire, this large farmhouse is an ideal place to get away from it all. The views are something to write home about, with vistas south to the heathland hills of the Long Mynd. With en-suites to each of the large bedrooms and a large kitchen-diner, it’s an ideal set up for families or groups of friends holidaying together. Spend your days striking out on some of the superb hiking trails, with regular pit-stops in the local pubs for refreshment. Bishop’s Castle (10 minutes away) is the perfect place to stock up with supplies, with its delicatessen, butcher, and micro-brewery. As evening closes in, draw the curtains, fire up the log burner in the library-style living room and snuggle down. Sleeps up to 8 | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
The Toadstool

With both an outdoor BBQ grill and a real working fireplace inside, it’s an ideal rural retreat in any season. The only noise disturbance is from birdsong, and maybe the odd tractor. The expansive garden rolls into beautiful countryside, and days here are best spent walking across the fields and down the canal for a pub lunch. There are local attractions aplenty, with the Lichfield Cathedral, Garrick Theatre, and Kings Bromley Marina all a short drive away. Sleeps up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms
Jewellery Box
