Luxury Home from home beautiful farm cottages in peaceful and tranquil surroundings. Oakpond and Oaktree Cottages overlook a wondeful wildlife pond but please note that we only let out one cottage at a time and so guests will have privacy and seclusion and the only time we will let out both cottages together is when they have been booked together by the same guests. We have dark skies and lots of stars with the occasional hooting of our resident owls. These cottages are perfect for people who require peace and quiet with nature surrounding the cottages.
Our cottages are on the Cheshire/Shropshire border and central to Staffordshire and Wales. Shropshire has been voted one of the top ten destinations to visit.
Guests staying have the option of hiring our spacious hydrotherapy spa tub with has two built in sun loungers. The hot tub is in a purpose built building which is situated next to Oakpond Cottages and has lovely views overlooking the countryside and is private and not shared for the duration of your stay.
Oakwood is our beautiful detached country bungalow which is one mile away from our farm in the sleepy hamlet of Ightfield. Oakwood has a lovely woodburner and a large safe and secure garden with six foot fencing with lovely walks from the door onto the Shropshire Way footpaths and The Olde Jack Inn.
