Beautifully furnished cottage with spacious rooms. The children loved the swimming pool and spending time with the animals on the farm

Hildegard United Kingdom

I booked this for my son and his family to stay for my daughters wedding. They all loved it and the little one cried when he left , so that is a good recommendation. They especially loved the dog Tess

Jacqui United Kingdom

Beautiful, clean and thoughtfully furnished and tastefully decorated

Senthil United Kingdom

Absolute fabulous apartment in the beautiful English countryside. The apartment is an old cowshed converted to an apartment. It is very spacious and beautifully decorated with a lot of detail. There is one large kitchen/living room area with lots of room to cook or to relax on one of the two couches. There are also two en suite bedrooms and one guest bathroom. My family was visiting from Germany and they were very pleased with it. Sara the owner is super friendly and the communication with her was always excellent. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Laura Germany

So roomy, welcoming, comfy beds and excellently equipped. Very peaceful - only sorry the winter weather didn't allow us to sit outside!!

  • Is the swimming pool just for this property and will we be able to use it thanks

    The pool is for all the guests to share. Obviously this year I am having to treat it all a bit different so will have to restrict individual times

Sara with Kate Humble cooking breakfast

The Shippen was renovated ready for April 2017. It was converted from an old milking cow shed, known locally as a shipper.

I have been running a farmhouse b&b since 2005. Since then I have opened up 3 self catering cottages. I enjoy country walks and gardening when I have time.

We are lucky enough to enjoy living in a rural location, but close enough to the towns of Newport, Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford. Wildlife is plentiful with good walking and cycling routes available.
