"We were welcomed very well by Peter & Karen and thoroughly enjoyed the seed cake & other goodies."
The property is small but well arranged. We could have done with more clothes hanging space & a couple of hooks on the back of the bathroom door. We were not particularly comfortable in the easy chairs. We had brilliant weather & sat outside when we could. It would have been handy to have a parasol.

"Our stay in Shire’s End was an absolute joy, it is a beautifully appointed and furnished Hobbit Hole and we were loath to leave!"
We had a virtually fully self-catered 7 days and, while quite small as it needed to be, the fridge and freezer were ample and anything we didn’t have we could just pop to Tesco, Sainsbury’s or Morrison’s for - which was super convenient. The location itself is gorgeous and the views incredible. There is so much to see around the area and nearby. Being on the borders of Wales, too, meant visits there as well were straightforward and incredibly scenic! One wish that we’d have is that the mattress be a bit more comfy and the frame itself a bit less creaky - otherwise, we slept well and just cannot knock this incredible place. Our hosts were lovely, left us to it but were also there if we needed them - they left us some hobbit cakes on our welcome, together with some garlic grown last year. Both were utterly delicious!! Just remember to say if you’ve any intolerances/allergies as I’d not even thought to before we left. Finally, watching the extended (of course!!) LOTR trilogy from the imagined purview of a hobbit was an awesome experience!! Stay and have a wonderful time. We hope to return in the near future, too!

"A superb stay at Shire’s End, Location was perfect, situated with a perfect view and our little neighbours were a flock of sheep."
The place was very well equipped and has everything we needed for a short break. Host was very friendly and welcoming, even a basket of Hobbit treats on arrival.

"Lovely little hobbit house in a quiet and peaceful location."
Great for exploring the area. Everything we needed was provided and a very thoughtful welcome basket with snacks and homemade cakes was there when we arrived. The only thing we would comment on is the shower was an electric one and wasn’t very powerful, apart from that everything was perfect.

"Lovely unique place to stay."
Had a wonderful relaxing time away, with some cute little lambs as our neighbours, such an amazing experience. Thank you for being so welcoming and letting us experience the world of hobbits! We will definitely be back!

The property
Little Hereford 1.2 miles.
Shire’s End is a unique, underground pod built into the hills on the grounds of the owner’s farm close to the hamlet of Little Hereford, Shropshire.
With sweeping country views and a charming interior, Shire’s End is a wonderful base for a couple seeking a stay in this beautiful part of the country.
Step into this delightful base and discover the wooden interior, complete with timber taken directly from Sherwood Forest.
Make use of the kitchen space, well-equipped given the size of the pod, featuring an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and coffee machine, so you can prepare meals with ease.
Serve your culinary creations at the breakfast bar before relaxing on the armchairs and tuning into the TV.
End each day with a refreshing shower before retiring to the double bed and dreaming about your next adventure.
Just outside to the front of the pod is a small seating area where you can sit back and appreciate the tranquil farm setting.
When you’re ready to explore, head into Ludlow and wander the medieval streets, popping in and out of independent shops before choosing from a range of excellent dining and pub options.
Head into the Shropshire Hills AONB and discover the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, Land of Lost Content, Stokesay Castle and Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, in addition to an abundance of walking, hiking and cycling trails where you can truly immerse yourself in the interrupted natural beauty of the landscape.
All this and more awaits at Shire’s End.
