Victoria house.

Church Stretton is a picture perfect Shropshire town surrounded by hills so ideal for walkers. Victoria House is a charming Victorian property in the heart of town overlooking the hotel gardens, blossom trees and the church. Diane and her team made me feel as if I’d come home for the weekend. My room was like something out of Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks. It is called The Snug and would be great for a single traveller or a couple. The furniture is antique, there is a flacon of sherry on the desk and the cooked breakfast was top class.

Wenlock Studios

This was our second stay at Wenlock studios. This time we stayed in Walton apartment. The plus side is that Walton has a parking space right outside the front door. The facilities are excellent, spotless and well thought out, the property is warm and cozy, the bed was very comfortable. Wenlock studios are a mini home from home. Much Wenlock is a fabulous base to travel and see beautiful Shropshire. I highly recommend staying in one of these apartments.

Good location on the outskirts of beautiful Ludlow a great place from which to explore the beautiful Shropshire countryside. The hotel provides a good level of comfort and first class food. Both evening meals were excellent, the first from the a la carte menu the second from a well balanced tasting menu both providing delicious and tasty food with portion sizes just right. The staff were very pleasant

Bridge View Guest House

The view of the infamous Iron Bridge was stunning, especially at night along with the Christmas lights. The rooms had a lot of extras, such as wine, pieces of cake and with a well stocked fridge with water and fruit juice. I have stayed in hotels that offer less than this Bed and Breakfast. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this beautiful part of Shropshire.

Birchwood House

As we were there to walk the Shropshire Hills, the location was good for exploring the area and was a few minutes walk to local amenities. The apartment was lovely with a kitchenette, large bathroom with both bath and shower. Everything you could possibly need was provided and it was immaculate. The breakfast choice was amazing, with a very accommodating and attentive host.

The Golden Lion Inn

The central location of the hotel/pub was excellent. The Shropshire Suite was tucked away in a nice quiet area and even had its own courtyard table and chairs, which were nice for an evening drink. The room was spacious and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were on hand throughout the stay and were incredibly polite and approachable.

Located in the heart of Church Stretton, the Bucks Head Hotel manages to pack a lot of rural charm into a relatively small building. The new owners of the hotel have taken great strides to improve it since they took over management from the previous proprietor. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking to explore the Shropshire area.

Mynd Hotel was outstanding. The room we had was lovely. Staff were brilliant. So enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is so well situated, public houses just down the road, where the food is outstanding. The area of Shropshire hills beautiful, the views are great. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back. Pam and Jon

The Talbot Hotel

The Talbot Hotel is Historic family run hotel in a quiet village set amidst the Shropshire hills. The atmosphere is very friendly and bed very comfortable.The cooked breakfast was great and they got us oat milk specially. This was Very good value and we enjoyed our stay. We hope to return again on another visit.

Gaskell Arms

Hotel in Much Wenlock

The Gaskell Arms is an excellent location for exploring Shropshire as Much Wenlock is a good place to be based. We stayed for four nights and found both breakfast and dinner every night excellent with lots of choice and enjoyed every meal. The staff were friendly and very obliging.

NiCheGetaway

Great location in Shrewsbury, allowing for easy travel to many parts of Shropshire and North Wales. Also close to Birmingham and other Midlands cities and towns. Well appointed one bedroom apartment, with large living and diy room, large bathroom and comfortable bedroom.

Spacious first floor apartment in the centre of Church Stretton with free parking

Great location in Church Stretton; easy access to shops and pubs. The rail station was a five minute walk from the accommodation. The apartment is quiet and spacious. Overall, it was a great place for us to stay for a week while we explored Shropshire and Wales.

Lucea Cottage

Craven Arms

It was nice to have a full kitchen for cooking after a month of travelling. The apartment is clean and cute and the bed is comfortable. Its a short walk to a large grocery store and the must see Shropshire Discovery Center.

Sweeney Hall Hotel

Great location for exploring Shropshire and Wales. Hotel has great food and cocktails. Lovely outdoor seating and drinking areas around the hotel. The cottage has a fantastic dog friendly enclosed garden.

Moreton Park Hotel

Proximity to my trip to good road network for travel in Shropshire and Wrexham. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Underfloor heating in bathroom . A basic, clean hotel room.

138a Old Star & Garter

Great location for exploring Ludlow and the Shropshire Way. Apartment was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Host was very welcoming and informative.

The Castle Hotel

Bishops Castle

Wonderfully quirky and characterful hotel in the beautiful Shropshire country town of Bishops Castle. Staff were helpful and friendly and breakfast was delicious.

Fallow Field, Telford by Marston's Inns

Probably the best valve a hotel in Shropshire, and I've stayed at many. The food was excellent too. The accommodation was and is always clean and modern.

Westwood Lodge

Lovely comfortable apartment with everything you need. Set in beautiful countryside and a perfect position for exploring Shropshire.

Lion Quays Resort

Spa The Waterside breakfast is really nice, lots of options and the Shropshire fry up was fabulous and restaurant very clean.

Short Breaks in Shropshire

Hotels in the countryside with walks from the door; hotels in the centre of traditional market towns, full of independent shops and black and white buildings; hotels near castles, stately homes, beautiful gardens and the finest English Heritage and National Trust properties England has to offer.

Look no further than Shropshire for your next short break. Or to be more precise, look no further than one of our Shropshire County Hotels and Inns.

Each of our members knows just how important your time away is – whether you’re staying for a short break or longer. Put your feet up from the moment you arrive and unwind; they’ll be sure to look after you. The only predicament is that a short break in Shropshire is rarely long enough to see and do everything you want during just one visit. The good news is that with a collection of quality hotels and inns to choose from that’s several more short breaks taken care of.

Shrewsbury town centre, Ludlow and Ironbridge have all been affected along with rural parts of the county. Water levels are now going down and many businesses have begun the big clean up operation. Fortunately Bishops Castle is situated on high ground surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills therefore we have been unaffected by the floods but our heart goes out to all our friends and local businesses that have been. So as a result we would like to try and support these businesses get back on their feet by making an effort to increase tourism in the area. That's why were offering our biggest spring sale ever!

Visit  Much Wenlock  and the museum to learn about the town’s history and sporting heritage, particularly the Olympic Games.

An explore through this website will give you the very best south Shropshire  accommodation ,  hotels ,  self catering cottages ,  B&Bs  and  inns ,  events  and festivals and plenty of entertaining things to do and see.

"🏰✨ Dive into the heart of Shrewsbury`s Castle Quarter – the epicenter of history and grandeur! 🏰 Home to four of the town`s largest historic treasures – Shrewsbury Castle, Library, Prison, and Train Station. Did you know Shrewsbury Castle`s foundations were laid in 1083 by the 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, Roger de Montgomery? Montgomery, a cousin of William the Conqueror, earned this castle and more as a thank-you for his aid during the Norman conquest. From royal stronghold to a 16th-century transformation, Shrewsbury Castle has quite the story. Now, it stands majestically, housing the Shropshire Regimental Museum. 👑🏰 Ready to step into the pages of history? #visitshropshire #shrewsburycastle #historic #shrewsbury #thingstodo #shropshire

Embark on an extraordinary half-term adventure at the enchanting Hawkstone Park Follies! 🌲✨ This hidden gem invites you to explore a sprawling landscape filled with magical surprises. Hawskstone Park Follies are offering 50% off general admission from February 9th to 18th, making it the perfect opportunity to uncover the mysteries that await. Set in 100 acres of Parkland The Follies is a range of dramatic and rugged natural sandstone hills that were developed to include gullies, caves, towers and bridges, becoming one of the most visited landscapes in Britain during the 19th Century. However, throughout the 20th Century this romantic landscape became forgotten, overgrown and ruinous, unvisited by all but the locals. Now recognised as a Masterpiece of the School of Naturalistic Landscape and designated as a Grade I listed landscape by English Heritage, this magical and exhilarating landscape had a new lease of life with a multi-million pound restoration project enabling it to reopen to visitors in 1993.
