“Virginia Cottage is beautiful, clean, comfortable and has everything you would need for a staycation.”

It is part of a working farm and the surrounding countryside is spectacular.

It is part of a working farm and the surrounding countryside is spectacular. Ideally situated near Church Stretton, Ludlow and Shrewsbury with easy access to the Shropshire Hills and the A5 taking you into Wales. We enjoyed our week in this lovely cottage, despite some unsettled weather. We can definitely recommend this cottage and hope to visit again soon.

“Amazing Cottage”

We have just stayed at Vaginia Cottage for a week, a can't put into words how amazing this place this! Very well looked after, the cottage is immaculate, spacious and well kitted out! Penny and Henry the owners made us feel very welcome, we were told if we needed anything all we had to do was ask. I was sad to leave the cottage on Friday i loved it that much. My 2 girls aged 4 and 8 and myself and my wife have fallen in love with this gorgeous cottage, and we cant wait to return. So penny and Henry thank you once again, and we hoped you liked your flowers and thank you card. See you all next year! Best wishes Richard and Kimberley Lord

Mrs Roberts February 2020

“Having stayed in quite a few holiday cottages over the years, I can honestly say that Virginia Cottage was one of the best, if not THE best, I have ever experienced.”

It was extremely well equipped, especially with kitchen items, wonderfully warm and spotlessly clean. The layout is very nice, with the kitchen/dining area connected to the lounge so that you're able to chat and socialise even if you're the one doing the cooking. It also has a wonderful wood burner. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly, and made us feel very welcome. I would absolutely recommend Virginia Cottage for a relaxing break in pretty countryside.

- Mrs Roberts, February 2020
Mr Gunn January 2020

Mrs Green November 2019

“The garden furniture was packed away while we where staying there this could of been done before or afterwards.”

Also a shoot went on at the property and in the evening some Avent going on to be woke up by loud talking and banging on car doors this all on the last night otherwise the cottage was cosy, the roads where not very good for getting to the property.

- Mrs Green, November 2019
Ms Edgington November 2019

“Lovely cosy bungalow, dog friendly and well equipped.”

The cottage is on a working farm in a little rural village with lovely countryside walks. Church Stretton is half an hour away and Shrewbury is less than a hour. Great for trips into Wales too.

“Excellent cottage,very well equipped and very comfortable.”

“The cottage is on a working farm in a lovely village.”

It is great for exploring the Shropshire countryside with it's rolling fields and hills or Wales. The cottage is well equipped and very comfy with a great garden area and all on one level. Dogs are welcome, with large rugs provided to cover the two sofa's so the whole family can relax together. There is a log burner in the open plan livingroom/kitchen but we have never used it as the cottage is always nice and warm. Ideal for families or just the two of us and the dog.

ACTON BURNELL

Much Wenlock 7.5 miles; Church Stretton 8.5 miles; 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.
