From start to finish, Victoria and Dawn were absolutely wonderful hosts; super responsive to my many questions, suggesting things to do and offering extras. They were so kind and welcoming, we felt right at home, and they were there if we needed anything during our stay. It was so generous of them to give us an early check-in and late check-out, which really made a difference to our slightly stressful schedule. The hamper is such a lovely touch and the bathroom provisions, the games chest, the dressing gowns, the fire laid out already, etc, really were the icing on the cake. The bride-to-be was also really touched by the flowers and message that they had left for her. We couldn't have chosen a better location for our friend's hen party, I can't recommend Victoria's place enough!
Victoria was a wonderful host. Really responsive and helpful. The place was beautiful, clean and well equipped. Lots of books and toys for kids. Lovely light spaces and we so appreciated the hamper of food and wood for fires. The games room was a big hit too! Thank you also to Dawn who was so welcoming and gave lots of interesting history info about the house. And helped us promptly when we had a query about the fire. We will be back :)
We love hosting. Child and dog friendly. In 1721 our ancestor built the house to be like an Italian Palazzo, and we came back from working in London to look after it, after lockdown. An 18th estate rewilded, but with all mod cons like very hot water, fast wifi – 125 Mbps, nice cotton sheets, Nespresso machine! Also with flowers, trees, water, lots of wildlife, badgers, otters, hawks. We also grow our own organic flowers and vegetables, and have hens. Children are extremely welcome to help with them and have a cuddle with them. Swings, private lakeside for picnics and a fire, with picnic tables on the island. There's a more exciting council playground half a mile away
A quiet rural area (but with a corner shop 5 min drive/bike away, open til 11 with a bakery and wine) with a private lake, woods, with wild swimming at the mill pond at the end of the drive.
Happily we are 10 mins drive from The Bear, which may be the best pub in England! In September 2022 it got a five-star review in The Telegraph - saying "the food is magnificent..with utterly charming staff and an air of slick hospitality, The Bear is impeccable". Its still a local and some menus are attached below.
Fordhall Community Farm is a couple of miles away, with countryside events, lots for children, and a good kitchen/dining room, butchery and shop, cute piglets, walks around the farm. Market Drayton, the nearest town, 10 minutes drive away, has a 1,000 year old chartered market on Wednesdays, with a growing food scene, restaurants, local shops and pubs, with home brewed beer, and a swimming pool and community cinema. Shrewsbury, a historic town, is 30 mins away, with great antiques and book shops, independent dress shops and a craft market on some Saturdays, also great restaurants and cafes, and boats on the river! Ironbridge Gorge is 30 min away. Cardingmill Valley and the Shropshire hills are great to walk
Owners live in the adjacent house, but won't encroach. Its a big house
We are very happy to help with supermarket shops etc and can put your shopping in the fridge/cupboard before you come
Also we can do a lasagne for you with salad, bread and wine, ready for you hot in the oven (£40/£60 with wine)
We also have a cottage on Airbnb that sleeps six, in the grounds, which you can combine
Lots of parking on site, for ten cars, in our gravel and lit carpark with EV charger bikes to borrow, no charge. Bus to Shrewsbury across the woods, every hour. Do book taxis ahead (Drayton Cars). Walks from the house to the dog and half hour walk to the pub, the Red Lion (big tables, good food, own brew, fires, dog and child friendly). The fantastic Bear pub is ten minutes drive away. Big walks at Cardingmill valley, the Wrekin or Grinshill
