“At first we thought that being so close to the cows it might be a problem with noise through the night but no problem, the cows must go to sleep also.”

It's a long single track lane to the farm from the main road but we only encountered another vehicle coming the other way and that was when we first arrived! Derrick and Sue were very welcoming on our arrival, they showed us around the cottage and had a fire going in the wood burner stove and had left some cake baked by Derrick mother, very nice! All in all we had a very good holiday and met some friends that we new from when we lived there some seventeen years ago.

“It should be noted that the stairs in the Corn House, whilst in tune with the cottage, are steep and on a twist and therefore difficult for anyone with walking difficulties.”

This did not spoil our holiday in any way and we would love to go back. The holiday was wonderful - quiet and peaceful and just what we wanted.
Mrs Stratton June 2018

“Wonderful quiet location.”

The Corn House was very comfy and as expected. Although a quiet out of the way location, the cottage is only 4 miles from Ironbridge Gorge. Highlight was that Molly the farm dog greeted us and joined us for breakfast every morning.
Mrs Rowntree April 2018

“Brilliant holiday on a working farm.”

Very peaceful countryside setting but still close to Ironbridge & other interesting places. Lovely welcoming owners as well.

“Great stay , really enjoyed our 7 days at corn house , would defanatly re book”
Mrs Orchard March 2018

“Lovely homely cottage with stunning views of the Wrekin and surrounding countryside, close to all the attractions.”

Welcomed by a roaring log fire and homemade cakes and the lovely host Derek who could not do enough for us, even though we turned up hours later than expected. Wonderful time can not wait to go back.

“Lovely cosy cottage and in a beautiful location handy for Ironbridge and the museums”
Mrs Wainwright February 2018

“We arrived in the afternoon with the cows grazing on the hay bales.”

Farmer Derek and Mollie the collie were their to greet us with the log burner already set up and a box of rock cakes. We had a lovely relaxing break with our two and four year olds who loved watching the cows being fed in the morning. The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped in a scenic location. We also had plenty of places to visit in Shropshire.

“We were lucky to find this cottage for a five day Christmas break at fairly short notice and a reasonable price.”

The owners were flexible about arrival time and very welcoming, including wood burning stove lit for us! A beautiful location, ideal for Ironbrigde and the Shropshire Hills. If you enjoy staying on a working farm, you can see the cows from the front door!

“Third time here...not the last”

My wife and I have stayed at Morrels Wood three times now, twice in the dairy and once in the Cornhouse. Lovely relaxing surroundings, comfortable accommodation and well worth the drive down the lane

“A beautiful, cosy, farmyard cottage”

Me and my partner just returned from a weekend stay in the Cornhouse, which was a lovely break away. The cottage is located on a farm, with stunning views across the local countryside. There is lots to see around the local area, especially the Ironbridge gorge. Will definitely be coming back. And the sponge cake waiting for us when we arrived was a nice touch :)
