The Parlour is a barn we converted a few years ago, out near Marton. It’s for two people. One bedroom, one bathroom. It’s got a 5 Star rating, which means it’s well finished and everything works.
The main room is open plan, with high ceilings and the old beams still showing. There’s a wood burner for colder nights. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a fridge-freezer. There’s a separate utility room with a washing machine.
You get your own garden, which faces south so it gets the sun. There’s a table and chairs out there, and a barbecue. We’ve put a lockable shed in the garden for bikes. There’s also a two-acre field you can use, but that’s shared with us and any guests from the other cottages here.
The parking is at the bottom of the garden. You then walk up a gravel path to the front door. It’s all on one level, so no stairs inside.
The village of Baschurch is about two and a half miles away. It has a shop and takeaways. There’s a pub that does food about 700 yards from here. A bus runs between Shrewsbury and Ellesmere and stops on our drive, if you don’t want to drive.
Shrewsbury is about a 20-minute drive. It’s a good town for a wander, with the Quarry Park and the Dingle. Ellesmere, which is north, is similar distance and has the mere there for walks. For a longer day out, the Shropshire Hills or Ludlow are within about 40 minutes. Ironbridge is about half an hour away.
Things here: WiFi, TV, wood burner, all bedding and towels included. We can provide a cot and highchair. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome. The garden is enclosed.
You can book this place together with The Dairy next door if you’re a bigger group.
