“Well appointed cottage would recommend to anyone who likes a rural break”

- Mr Walton, January 2019
“Cottage very warm for a winter holiday good furnishings bed comfortable and outside space would be lovely in warmer weather.”

Good dog walking and very convenient for visiting the attractions in the area. Only problem we had was cooker hob markings not clear took a couple of tries to work them out. Would go back if we wanted another holiday in the area. Little shop not far away for newspaper etc was a bonus to us.

“Virginia Cottage is a lovely cottage and very well appointed.”

This was a short weekend break for us and I am today booking to return again next year for a whole week to explore the countryside. There was lots more to do in the area that I had not appreciated.

- Mrs Lawton, March 2018
“Mum & I had a fabulous week at Virginia Cottage.”

We used it as a base to visit National Trust properties. So many things to see & do & all within a short drive. The cottage was superb - extremely well equipped, warm, comfortable & spotlessly clean. Our hosts, Penney & Henry made us feel very welcome & we hope to return at some point.

- Mrs Trew, March 2018
“One of the best cottages we have stayed in.”

Owners next door couldn’t have done more to make us welcome. Comfortable, cosy and beautifully presented. Easy to use log burner and extremely comfortable bed. Excellent shower and enclosed garden for the dog. Would definitely recommend and book again.

“Very cosy and comfortable cottage”

- Ms Powell, February 2018
“Photos don’t do this cottage justice.”

Far exceeded our expectations for a family Christmas. Whilst 2 adults stayed here, there were 4 of us & two little children each day. Plenty of sitting room space and the kitchen more than coped with the hectic demands of cooking a family Christmas lunch, with absolutely everything we needed to hand. The bedroom was extremely comfortable and there are quality soft furnishings throughout the cottage. 10/10 in every aspect, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.

- Mrs Lancaster, December 2017
“The cottage is on a working farm so you do hear the farming vehicles in the yard opposite.”

- Ms Edgington, November 2017
“Relaxing holiday, cottage comfortable, well equipped, owners very friendly.”

Area very rural good for walks. Had to travel to nearest town. would go back for another visit.

- Miss O'brien, June 2017
“A warm and corfortable luxury break.”

The cottage provided a good base for touring Shrophshire with good walks out of the front door for the dog. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. The local shop/ P.O. stocked the daily papers and other essential but often forgotten items. Hope to return again soon.

“Week of R & R”

We had an awesome weeks rest in Virginia Cottage, the owners where fantastic people, I only wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you could want for a perfect break. I come from a farming background so the peace and quite of this farm forming a part of the village reminded me of my childhood from Cross Farm in Eastry, Kent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to anyone with or without animals.

“Excellent holiday cottage”

This is a beautiful cottage, lovely decor and facilities. Lovely to have a choice of outdoor eating areas, too. All on one level so perfect for families. The owners were friendly and helpful. We recommend visiting acton Burnell castle, just a few minutes walk from the cottage. A perfect spot for a picnic or walk. We loved the cottage and the area - a lovely holiday,

“A place to definitely return to”

The location of the cottsge is ideal for exploring Shropshire and Wales. There are many places of interest to visit within easy reach. The cottage was ideal for families as the garden and patio area were safe and secure. The cottage was well equiped and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

“Delightful Stay in Beautiful Home and Surroundings”

"The cottage was beautiful and lovely and clean and very comfortable. Had all the things you require a home to have from essential cooking utensils to home comforts. The owners Penny and her Husband and their family were most hospitable." Would highly recommend a visit here. Some lovely pubs to visit in surrounding areas too. We hope to return one day very soon!.

“Best Holiday Accomodation you could wish for!”

The service we received was excellent. The Holiday Accomodation was perfect. There was everything you could want and more besides! We were all impressed with the wonderful layout and comfort of the home. The location was quiet and peaceful. My only complaint(besides the weather) was there were no close amenities, you had to drive everywhere.

The property

A superb conversion of a former barn, Virginia Cottage is situated on a working farm on the edge of Acton Burnell in this peaceful and undiscovered area of Shropshire.

Detached and built of traditional local brick, the cottage offers accommodation of a very high standard being tastefully decorated in a contemporary yet cosy style.

It is light and airy throughout and there are French doors opening onto two private patio areas where guests can relax with a glass of wine on warm summer evenings.

The owners live at the farm and personally welcome visitors.

A perfect retreat to 'get away from it all' and explore the hidden delights of Shropshire!
