Owners were actually away at the time and we arranged for the keys to be left in the property. Unexpected milk and eggs were much appreciated. The Honesty Bar was something we had not come across before and thought it a great idea, even though we didn't actually take advantage of it, having taken adequate supplies with us.

Property info

The Shooting Folly is as unique a holiday home that we have ever come across. Standing in the middle of the Shropshire farmland and with views over fields over fields and woods, it is romantic as the setting. Dating back to the 19th Century, once believed to be an old shooting lodge, the building retains features such as crenelated mock church tower at one end, a stepped gable at the other, and a timber thatched cottage in between. To create a very homely hideaway, the house contains many mod cons, including a Cedar Hot Tub. Please note Charcoal BBQ available - only charcoal to be used due to Cottage being Thatched. The only bedroom features a double bed with views across the countryside, with a separate WC, and the kitchen is smart and made of solid oak with a granite work surface; it’s well equipped with electric hob, oven and microwave. Guests will be sure to enjoy their time at The Shooting Folly. Sorry infants only, no childrenPlease note Charcoal BBQ available - only charcoal to be used due to Cottage being Thatched.

Neighborhood info

The Shooting Folly is on the edge of a small village, but a few miles from the totally gorgeous village of Cheswardine, which is relatively untouched and a typical Shropshire village. There are two pubs nearby, both recommended by the owners – The Fox & Hounds is two miles away and The Wharf Tavern sits right on the canal.
