Alkington Grange Barns

Alkington 1 mile. Four delightful, 17th century, brick-built barn conversions in a courtyard setting on a 100 acre family-run working arable and livestock farm a few miles from Whitchurch. Whitchurch is known as the ‘Home of Tower Clocks’ and indeed, an example of a fine Tower Clock can be seen from the cottages. These four Whitchurch cottages have been lovingly converted to offer very welcoming holiday accommodation, retaining original features including exposed oak beams and trusses, whilst also offering modern fixtures and fittings to create a charming homely atmosphere. The front courtyard outside these Shropshire cottages boasts an impressive Georgian hay barn, now a shared undercover area for relaxing or enjoying a BBQ while young children play safely in the adjoining toddlers' play area. These Whitchurch cottages share an indoor heated swimming pool, with time slots bookable for exclusive use, and an “endless pool current” option for added exercise. There is also an enclosed multi-use games area marked out for tennis, badminton, football and basketball, as well as four small fishing pools, farm walks and a woodland picnic area. Cyclists will appreciate the Mercian Cycle Path, which runs past the farm, while walkers can explore the Shropshire Union Canal, 15 minutes from these four delightful Shropshire cottages, whilst the Shropshire Way runs through the farm. Enjoy Whitchurch, Hawkstone Follies with its wonderful walking and excellent golf course, the nine Ellesmere meres, RAF Cosford, Ironbridge, Shrewsbury, Chester Zoo and more. A wonderful location for an enjoyable year-round holiday.

The welcome was fantastic from the owner. The accommodation had everything you could think of and was finished to a superb standard. Many of us remarked it was the best nights sleep we'd had in a long time!
