Shropshire

A cosy colourful kitchen, a warm wood-burner and a sky-lit bedroom with gorgeous views - stock up with provisions in foodie Ludlow!

Come for glorious walking countryside and warm fuss-free Sally, who gives you freshly baked scones when you arrive and beautiful bedrooms

A special place indeed, steeped in history, good taste and much comfort. Exhausted townies will heave a sigh of relief on arrival

Sweet, peaceful cottage within popping distance to all of Ludlow’s historical and culinary delights

Close to Ludlow and brilliant for walkers – Neenton is close to Brown Clee Hill – this restored dining pub has 3 spanking new bedrooms

Cream tea on the terrace, candlelit dinners with garden veg, elegant rooms – for horses too! Roam 7-acre gardens or sweeping countryside

Feather pillows, welcome goodies, an extensive batterie de cuisine... the hosts are super generous, the views are to die for

A stunning old converted granary down a mile long track on an organic farm. Walk, cycle, wild swim, play tennis or simply revel in the peace

The sort of remote English countryside most of us have long forgotten surrounds you at this converted eco farm building near Church Stretton

Utterly peaceful barn conversion in the Shropshire Hills, with bright, modern interiors and exquisite views out onto a private lake

Down a tiny lane to this working farm and lots of cheerful comfort. Vintage linen, old pine, patchwork and flowers - great breakfast too

Charmingly rambling, inside and out: blazing log fires, riotous patterns, oak panelling, prolific garden, and big, comfortable, antique beds
