Cosy romantic retreat. On a working farm with views of Shropshire’s countryside close to World Heritage Site Ironbridge, the River Severn, attractions, footpaths and cycle routes from the doorstep.

Escape to the beauty of Shropshire when you stay at this delightful, one-bedroom hideaway, set on a working farm, about 1 mile from Little Wenlock. Sleeping two guests and a much-loved four-legged friend, the impressive, single-storey former barn could be the perfect place for a romantic break away together. From here, strike out across the picturesque Shropshire Hills with your faithful friend by your side. Plan days out to beauty spots in the area and take your happy hound to stretch his furry legs in the open space of the farm during your break.

Let yourselves into this charming retreat, with its vaulted ceiling and original timbers, to find an inviting holiday home that has been designed with comfort in mind. Make a cup of tea in the kitchen, give your hungry hound his meal, then decide what to make for your own dinner for two with the fresh ingredients you have bought on your days out. Here, you have a handy washing machine for damp doggy towels, and space to dine together at the table while your furry friend treats himself to a nap. Look for a film on TV, chat about your day and give your contented canine some well-deserved attention. When bedtime beckons, the double bedroom, with its en-suite shower room, is close by. Awake on sunny mornings to take your cheerful chum on a short walk before breakfast. You also have parking for one car, plus bike storage, at the property.

Strike straight out across your surroundings to enjoy fabulous walks with impressive scenery. Make your way to the River Severn, 1.5 miles from your base. Plan day trips to places like Benthall Hall, 7 miles away, where you and your four-legged friend can wander through leafy parkland.

Perfect place for a short relaxing break from the city. The farm is ideally located next to the Wrekin with a right of way to access the hill and enjoy an amazing view from the top. For those who enjoy long tracking you can even carry on up to Wellington going through Ercall Wood Nature reserve with its beautiful oaks and geology of interest. The cRead moreottage is pretty and comfortable with all the essentials, good linen and curtains and Molly is a very calm and friendly dog who enjoys a pet. Hide

A great place for the 2 of us to get away for a quiet weekend in an idyllic rural location. The cottage was warm as was the welcome we received. Eating in the local community pub was a lovely friendly experience and there is lots to choose from in the area during the day.

One of a small number of converted farm buildings on a working farm. The cottage is perfect for two, and is well equipped (included a slow cooker). Friendly owners who respect privacy or will chat if you wish. Stunning location along a secluded road owned by dozens of pheasants. Shrewsbury is a short drive away and well worth a visit and IronbridgeRead more is fabulous. Hide

Just a short visit to this sweet little cottage. First time in the area. Hosts very welcoming and helpful. The main picture on the website does not do it full justice- would be better from the other angle. Accommodation felt very safe and secure although the farm is in a very isolated spot. Would recommend for single person or couple. Very dog frieRead morendly, including a warm welcome from resident sheepdog. Hide

What a location, great little cottage on a working farm, lovely setup in a little muse of 6 cottages, getting in is a trek but we'll worth it. Nothing to much trouble for the owners and Molly the dog is always willing to say hello. Perfect for ironbridge visits and surrounding areas.
