Shrewsbury 7 miles.
The pretty little village of Acton Burnell is set in rolling farmland a few miles from Shrewsbury and takes its name from Robert Burnell, famous for building the lovely castle and church here in the 13th Century. There are lovely walks along the local paths and bridleways and many Shropshire attractions are within easy driving distance, including the World Heritage Site at Ironbridge, Attingham Park, the market towns of Much Wenlock and Church Stretton, and of course, Shrewsbury itself. With its Castle, museums and Abbey and lovely half-timbered buildings, Shrewsbury is a delightful town to visit and offers a wealth of shops and restaurants.

Previous visitors' comments about Virginia Cottage:
The cottage was furnished and equipped to a very good standard - warm, clean and comfortable. The owners were welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive. A good selection of information and OS maps allowed us to enjoy the many walks & attractions in the area.
Mrs Young, High Wycombe, October 2011
A beautifully presented property, it went far beyond our expectations. Restful, charming and convenient for all our needs. We would highly recommend it. You are to be congratulated Sykes for providing such wonderful properties to hire and also for the efficient manner in which your Company is run.
Mrs Jackson, Milford Haven, September 2011
Virginia Cottage had everything a holiday cottage needed. The owners are lovely, very welcoming and helpful.
Mrs Simcock, Chester, September 2011
There was a lot to see and do in the area for all ages and we intend to return in the near future to visit the places we did not have time to see this time. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The cottage is ideally located for exploring Shropshire and Wales.
