Bev and Mark welcome you to their home from home self catering country farm cottages which are based near Whitchurch in North Shropshire. We have two lovely dog friendly cottages and an award winning no pets cottage which are a perfect base for exploring Staffordshire and the Welsh borders as well as Cheshire and Shropshire. There is a national cycle route at the end of our drive which has 6 scenic cycle rides or walks down country lanes with lovely country pubs and tea rooms on route and Brown Moss Nature Reserve with its woodland walks.
Our family cottages Oakpond and Oakwood are both dog friendly with a safe and secure garden with walks from the door. Wifi is available in all cottages.
We are fully booked for the Late Spring Bank Holiday Week.
We also have a very relaxing indoor hydrotherapy hot tub which is private and is available to hire.
The Whitchurch Walking Festival is from May 11th-13th with 25 walks planned. Oakpond and Oaktree are available for this weekend. May 19th-20th The Whitchurch Food and Drink Festival and we only have Oaktree available for this event.
Within 30 minutes are Attingham Park, Erdigg, Sunnycroft and Benthal House and the superb gardens at Biddulph Grange and only 5 minutes from the Combermere Abbey.
We are very lucky to have two charming gardens to visit which are Wollerton Gardens and Hodnet Hall Gardens and only 10 minutes away. Hawkestone Follies is also another gem to visit with its caves and follies.
For the walkers we have the countrys most important nature reserve Brown Moss with its woodland walks and lakes and the Famous Sandstone Trail starting from Whitchurch. In the village there are footpaths with one leading to a very good pub which still has its traditional charm. All within 10 minutes away.
Alton Towers is only an hour away and Ironbridge is 40 minutes with Raf Cosford on route.
Oakpond and Oaktree cottages sit in an idylic setting amongst 103 acres of Shropshire countryside overlooking its own wildlife pond which is perfect for couples and families that require peace and quiet. Oakwood is a lovely country bungalow located in the village in a very quiet spot with no passing traffic with walks from the door.
The cottages are near to the beautiful and scenic canalside village of Audlem with its shops and tearooms and not forgetting the lovely circular walks which are perfect for dogs. Our nearest town is Whitchurch which is an old market town and Nature Reserves with wonderful countryside walks.
We do accept two dogs in Oakwood and one dog in Oakpond. We do offer a dog sitting service on the farm. Dogs are treated as valued guests with a welcome basket of treats, towels and throwovers whilst our human guests are treated with a home-made cake and free range eggs from our hens (when still laying).
