Holiday Cottages in Shropshire
As we have found out over the last few years, Shropshire is a wonderful county for a holiday. There's great walking and you can explore castles, ruins and stately homes to your heart's content. The geologically minded will love collecting fossils and minerals. And if it's tasty food you're after... well, Shropshire has a reputation for that.
For an area that has seen so much strife and bloodshed over the centuries, Shropshire has that picturesque vibe down to an art. Tiny villages with half-timbered houses, small towns with intriguing buildings, indie shops and artisan boutiques, and larger towns with all of these plus all the amenities like cinemas and shopping centres make this a county that's a joy to explore.
Exploring is best done from a base, whether that be a hotel, guest house, campsite or a holiday cottage. Shropshire has a raft of holiday cottages available to rent for a weekend, short break or longer. They're well equipped, well looked after and are very often a true home from home.
During our last Shropshire holiday we stayed at The Granary in Stapleton, just a few miles south of Shrewsbury. It was a superbly equipped cottage - billiards anyone? - and a wonderful place to spend a week. If our exploration list hadn't been a lengthy one, we could have easily stayed there for the week, gone for walks straight from the door and played table tennis, noughts and crosses or table football in the barn!
