The Coach House is one of two sympathetically developed holiday homes on the owner's 22 acre smallholding which is home to sheep, chickens and a large organic kitchen garden from which eggs and seasonal vegetables can be bought. The cottage has two bedrooms, fitted kitchen with dining area, sitting room with welcoming wood burner, and a pretty, fenced garden – a lovely place to relax and dine in after a day's exploring. Guests benefit from the use of a year-round hard tennis court and coarse fishing (including carp) on the well-stocked 1 acre pond, just 100 yards from the property. Enjoy walking and cycling in the surrounding countryside, or visit the many historical attractions nearby.

A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
We stayed in the coachouse for a week with our 3 young children - we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the kids really loved the lake and birdwatching hut! They spent hours on end playing in the fields and especially the tennis court. The location is perfect as it is just a short drive into Shrewsbury or Church Stretton and amazing for country walks. The owners are really nice and very helpful - we even arrived to a cake in the fridge!! All in all we had a great time and we will be returning soon.
Beautiful cottage in an excellent location. Not far from lots of attractions and lovely walks. Beautiful grounds to enjoy tennis, fishing and exploring! Very clean and tidy and flowers and cake on arrival from very friendly owners.
We really enjoyed our two week stay at The Coach House. The owners were very friendly and approachable. This property is ideally suited to families, with a big area available to be explored around the farm and in the woodland area. The house was warm and cosy and just a short drive from Shrewsbury. A real home away from home in a lovely location.
A lovely rural location with ample attractive grounds, a tennis court and a large yet cosy country kitchen. The property is close to the main road into Shrewsbury with many places of interest nearby. The owners were friendly.
Shropshire is a beautiful county and The Coach House was the perfect base for exploring it. My daughter (15 months) loved seeing the sheep every morning and particularly enjoyed collecting eggs one afternoon.
The location was beautiful and the owners of the house were very hospitable. A lovely place to stay and unwind.
Delightful, cosy cottage in secluded spot, well furnished and appointed and good parking facilities. Beautiful location, owners could not be more accommodating or friendly. Lovely walks close by and great place from which to explore the area. Note this is advertised as not having internet connection but there is free wifi in several places in Shrewsbury.
We had a fantastic time at The Coach House. The owners were very welcoming and the location was fantastic! The photos didn't do the place justice, they were amazing but in reality the whole place was even better than we expected.
Fantastic cottage, great location, very peaceful but with amenities near by. Two young children loved it, especially the piano and the tennis court. Very well equipped, delicious cakes awaited us and the owner is lovely. Even taking the children to collect the eggs. Would highly recommend this cottage.
A home from home. Perfect!
Lovely setting and well positioned for the orienteering event we went to. Really nice house.
Tranquil location, well kept property and helpful, discreet owners.
Cottage was very well equipped, homely and comfortable. It was an excellent base from which to explore the beauty of Shropshire.
The cottage was very cosy and an excellent size for 5 friends.
Very comfortable and relaxing.
Very friendly owners, a welcoming cake, very comfortable and peaceful property and a private fishing lake - excellent property.
Close enough to a town but far enough into rural Shropshire, this cottage was an absolute delight. We were greeted with an immaculate and pretty cottage in super grounds. There was even a plate of tray bakes in the fridge which didn't last long at all! Our two very young children loved the place and we were made to feel very welcome by the owners, who even took us egg hunting in their hen enclosure - my three year old daughter has not stopped talking about this or about Stanley the peacock. The rooms were a perfect size, the facilities fabulous and the beds very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone and will in fact return regularly when time permits!
We loved the cake on the table and milk in the fridge when we arrived. The cottage was very peaceful and private despite being next door to the owners. The cottage was very warm which was a bonus in April.
Everything was great!
We particularly chose this property because it has its own fishing lake, so my husband was highly delighted as he caught lots of fish & the weather was excellent. The property was in a nice location and the owners friendly making guests welcome with a lovely cake on arrival.
Lovely, well located house for walking, cycling and playing tennis! Very friendly welcome and we had lovely weather which helped.
House was great and our baby could wander round the garden etc. Liked the pond to have a quiet half hours fishing each night. Tennis court was an added bonus too.
Excellent location for a quiet break yet within easy distance of a multitude of varying sights and experiences.Cottage has use of lovely garden and the owner living next door was friendly and helpful.
A beautiful tranquil spot and pleasant cottage. The welcoming flowers and chocolate treats were very nice. Shrewsbury is a delightful medieval town with beautiful parks and gardens. We loved Blists Hill at Ironbridge and climbing the stiperstones.
Quiet location - warm welcome with flowers and cake. Excellent tourist area.
Good location to visit different villages.
Lovely, peaceful surroundings and great for children as long as they are supervised around the lake.
The homemade cake left for us, the fresh vegetables we could buy from our hosts, together with of course more home made cakes. The fishing was good - tench etc caught - water deceptively deep. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings with absolutely NO noise apart from the odd horse going by.
Facilities were brilliant. Peace and quiet was lovely but it's not too many miles off the beaten track.
We had a lovely time at the Coach House - a real 'home from home' and located on a lovely farm and in peaceful countryside. We did not want to leave.
We loved this cottage, great location close to shrewsbury, very well equipped cottage and great owners who were very helpful
Great cottage location. Everything we could hope for and more in the cottage. Lovely hosts.
Excellent cottage, very comfortable and very nice garden.
It was perfect in every aspect. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. The cake on arrival was a lovely touch.
Perfect location and accommodation was great. I would definitely go back and would recommend this cottage to friends and family.
Peace and quiet, very relaxing.

The cottage was lovely and homely, very welcoming. The area was gorgeous even though it rained when we were there! Definitely go back there as can't fault the place one bit. The owner was lovely as well and we bought all out organic veg from her at a very reasonable price!
It was very welcoming and we enjoyed the cake. The surroundings were lovely and peaceful. We were still in a homely comfortable and lovely house but at the same time it felt like we were on holiday. The owner was lovely. Definitely recommend this cottage and the ease of booking it.
We just completely relaxed and straight away felt welcome and at home in the cottage. What a beautiful setting and Shrewsbury is lovely.
Very friendly and helpful owners, who were available when we needed them but not intrusive. The gardens and lake were fantastic.
Lovely gardens. Nice surrounding area. Plenty to do
Very welcoming. We all felt at home immediately! The cottage itself is in a beautiful location. Altogether a brilliant weekend away and we will recommend!
We went to the Coachhouse for Xmas. We were very impressed with the house and friendly owners. We had a great time. Very good quiet location but close enough to Shrewsbury when necessary. No complaints at all. Would not hesitate to recommend it.
The owners were welcoming and very obliging. Nothing was too much of trouble for the owners and we appreciated this.
