The Experience

Hide yourselves away in this deeply rural spot and enjoy a bit of hush – you’ll hear lots of birdsong, the walking is fabulous and if you’re too busy to cook then you can pick up delicious home-cooked meals from the Guest Farm Shop. Your open-plan space is light, bright and cosy with plenty of seating, solid oak floors with jolly rugs and a chunky wooden table.

Outdoors you’ll find a super open-fronted barn for table tennis and football, darts and a basketball hoop, plus a communal garden with barbecue, pizza oven and fire pit. It’s very tranquil here surrounded by specimen trees and flower-filled borders. On rainy days you can hunker down with books, games and a very smart TV with apps for streaming.

Walks are from the door, you can visit the Shire horses next door and have a carriage ride, or head to the fishing lake to try your hand at landing a carp or tench. And so to bed – very private and romantic, with an en suite bath and shower.

Reviews

Romantic hideaways for two are rare and this is one of the best. Sit on your own private patio with a glass of wine and soak up the utter peace of the place, it is bewitching. Inside all is deeply comfortable and spoiling, you will sleep well here. Walks start from the door and the best is downhill to the Bottle & Glass, a gem. A great area to discover and to fully recharge yourselves. Come soon!

Thank you Amy and Marcus for the lovely welcome on arrival. Lovely comfortable cottage with all we needed. A much needed holiday - so peaceful. To be able to see such beautiful Shires was a dream. Hope to make it back again next year.

We've had a wonderfully relaxed weekend at Middle Farm. The cottage is perfect - thank you for your warm hospitality and for sharing this beautiful spot with us - we hope to be back! For future guests, we'd recommend a walk up the Long Mynd - stunning views from the top!


Location

The neighbourhood

Walk to the village of Picklescott for The Bottle & Glass – good food and always a Sunday roast. The Ragleth Inn in Little Stretton is a ten-minute drive. You're in such a gorgeous part of the world that walks will be sublime, but you can drive in 25 minutes to explore Much Wenlock and its ancient priory, or to visit Bishop's Castle – a very pretty market town. Ludlow and Shrewsbury are 40 mins.

Local points of interest from Marcus & Amy

  • Shropshire is one of the greatest walking counties in the UK. The spectacular Long Mynd runs down the middle of central/south Shropshire with the Wenlock Edge on the east and Stiper Stones on west. Not to mention 297 miles of the Shropshire Way!
  • There is something for everyone for eating out close to Middle Farm. In addition to our friendly local pub just a 15 minute walk from you cottage, there are numerous lovely country pubs in the area together with some great Gastro venues in local towns.
  • Whilst staying at Middle Farm, why not enjoy the experience of a horse drawn carriage ride around the beautiful Shropshire countryside on a carriage pulled by two of our resident shire horses, you can enjoy the scenery at the pace of a bygone age.
  • We have some beautiful local towns within easy reach of Middle Farm including Shrewsbury with over 600 listed buildings in the town centre alone, the medieval market town of Ludlow and Ironbridge the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.
  • If you enjoy heritage, castles and other historical sites, you’re spoilt for choice in Shropshire with many National Trust and English Heritage sites including Attingham Park, Powys Castle, Croft Castle, Berrington Hall and The Priory at Much Wenlock.
  • Experience what life was like back in Victorian times with visits to Blists Hill, a beautifully recreated Victorian Town or Acton Scott which offers visitors the chance to experience rural life in a horse drawn pre-industrial era.
