  • "Enjoyed a fabulous stay late October 2024."

    The property is well located for exploring the whole of Shropshire and parts of Wales. Caradoc was very clean, comfortable and equipped with everything anyone would need and is well designed with a modern feel. Definitely recommend and give *****

  • "Caradoc was beautiful inside & out, furnished to a very high standard."

    Peaceful & relaxing surroundings. Hosts made you feel more than welcome, provided us with all the local amenities to complete our stay. Enjoyed the picnic bench down by the stream watching the dragonflies & most of all spotting a kingfisher while enjoying a glass of wine. Highly Recommend to others. We will definitely be looking to return, not only to relax but also to see Tracey & David as they were the perfect hosts. Michelle & Paul

    Thank you both. We loved having you here and can’t wait to see you next time x Property Owner

  • "A lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and to a really high standard."

    The Caradoc is very well equipped, everything has been considered so we wanted for nothing. We were perfectly situated for exploring the Shropshire Hills, Shrewsbury and the surrounding area and yet, when we returned each day, we felt like we were miles from anywhere. We were blessed with good weather during our stay and would sit outside in the early evening watching the swifts darting back and forth, plucking insects out of the air to eat, and then swopping in and out of the stables, presumably to feed their young. Bliss!

    Thank you for your kind words, so very much appreciated David. We are so pleased you enjoyed it so much and hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

    Everything in the property was spotless, parking was easy, and the location excellent for days out in Shropshire and over the border in Wales. The owner, was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Tracey for the arrival treats!

  • "We had a lovely stay at the Caradoc, a very new listing, nicely furnished, super king beds very comfortable."

    Caradoc is located in a very quiet area. Tracey has really thought about her guests comfort and she checked in to ask whether we needed anything. She told us where local walks are and advised on what to see in Shrewsbury and locally. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. We will definitely return as there is much to explore in Shropshire. Thanks to Tracey who went out of her way to make our stay so comfortable.

The property

Dorrington 1.3 miles.

The Caradoc is settled into the countryside of Longnor, near Dorrington, named after one of the Shropshire hills, and offers beautiful accommodation with plentiful amenities and off-road parking.

This property is a delight for two couples, a family, and those who love horse riding, with an on-site livery and many bridleways through the breath-taking scenery of Shropshire.

Be welcomed into a dreamy open-plan living space, where a tasteful electric fire warms your feet as you recline in the sitting area and enjoy a tipple as you reflect on the days adventures.

Perfect for cooking up a storm, the spacious, light, and airy kitchen encourages guests to make the most of the amenities on offer, and enjoy a hearty meal at the dining table, or outside in the shared patio space, and there is also a patio beside the stream where guests can while away the warm afternoons whilst making the most of the scenery.

For your refreshment, two stylish shower rooms await, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor, allowing guests to soak the countryside chill from their hair.

The high-standard presentation continues upstairs, with two stunning bedrooms on offer, so choose between a super-king-size and a twin, both zip/link and able to have their configuration changed to suit your parties needs.
