Quackin' Up

Wem 4.5 miles.

Quackin’ Up is a practical shepherd’s hut resting near Wem in Shropshire, set beside a canal with countryside views and offering a straightforward stay for friends or couples.

Arrive at the marina and leave your car in the designated car park, then follow the cinder and slate path as the canal begins to appear and the meadow opens out to reveal a small row of huts.

Its green exterior sits neatly within the natural surroundings, with the nearby canal adding to the calm feel of the setting.

Step up onto the veranda, where astro turf lies underfoot and camping chairs provide a place to pause and take in the waterside outlook before heading inside.

Push open the door and step into a bright interior, where wooden flooring runs through the open-plan space, guiding you past twin beds set to one side for resting after a day out, while the drop-leaf dining table with stacking chairs offers a useful spot to sit with a meal or plan what comes next.

The kitchenette is positioned within easy reach, making it simple to prepare snacks or quick bites and a hot drink, while the oil-filled heater gives a steady warmth as the evening cools, creating a space suited to sitting, eating, and unwinding.

When it’s time to freshen up, take a short walk across the site to the shared facilities, where a walk-in wet room offers a practical place to begin or end your day, with additional bathrooms available if required, while the outdoor tap and water container support everyday use in keeping with the simple nature of the stay.

Step back outside and make the most of the surroundings, where the lawn and terrace lead towards the canal, offering space to gather at the picnic bench before lighting the fire pit and feeling the warmth of the flames as the evening settles and the light fades across the water.

A shop can be reached with a short drive, while a pub sits a little further afield for those looking to dine out.

Alternatively enjoy the delights of the on-site café, open 7 days a week.

Quackin’ Up provides a simple canal-side base in the Shropshire countryside.
