The small and historic town of Bishop's Castle nestles in the south Shropshire hills, and is in an area renowned for its beauty and tranquillity. The town has a thriving weekly market as well as a number of independent specialist shops that offer a range of fascinating products. There are excellent pubs and cafes and two very good museums – the Railway Museum and the delightfully-named House On Crutches Museum. Bishop's Castle is the perfect place from which to explore this part of Shropshire. As well as enjoying all the opportunities for discovering the beautiful countryside, visitors can also explore the nearby towns of Ludlow and Shrewsbury. Other local attractions include the famous Offa's Dyke, the Severn Valley Railway and Powis Castle.
A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The garden is fully enclosed which was great for our dog and at the entrance to the cottage there are plenty of coat hooks and a bench to take off any soggy footwear. It was great to look out over the farmyard from the bedroom window."

"The owners were great and couldn't have been more helpful, 6 free range eggs waiting in the kitchen! The location felt remote but at the same time only three miles from Bishops Castle. I like the idea of staying on a working farm and would have liked to have spent more time finding out about the farm. Accommodation was quirky and homely. There was a fenced area for our dog to roam."

"Stayed here to get away from it all and focus on my dissertation. Adorable cottage with everything you need, and a very comfortable bed! Great place for dog walking and a really relaxing atmosphere. I was greeted by the owner on arrival who is lovely and very accommodating. It's a beautiful area with friendly locals and a few shops down the road in bishops castle with a co op (although I'd bring your food before hand or get a delivery in which is what I did). Was sad to leave!!"
