Is The Coach House Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families

The Coach House offers children space to explore on a working farm with fields and animals nearby. The open-plan living area means parents can keep an eye on kids while cooking. Shrewsbury is 8 miles away for family days out and the Stiperstones nature reserve offers easy walks for little legs. The twin bedroom works well for siblings sharing.

Groups Will Love...

The exposed stone walls at The Coach House showcase the barn's agricultural past with thick blocks that have stood for generations. Combined with timber beams overhead, these original features create authentic character throughout the conversion. The stonework provides natural insulation and a sense of history that modern buildings simply can't match. You'll appreciate the craftsmanship every time you look up.

Pet Friendly

The Coach House does not accept pets due to its location on a working farm with livestock. Dogs could disturb the farm animals and create problems for the working environment. While the countryside setting would otherwise be perfect for walks, the presence of sheep and cattle means this barn isn't suitable for bringing your dog along on holiday.
