Area The pretty village of Cardington lies amongst the rolling hills of the South Shropshire countryside. Cardington boasts the oldest pub in Shropshire – The Royal Oak, mentioned in the Domesday Book! Its rural situation is ideal for sightseeing, with miles of country walks in all directions, not to mention the beautiful Shropshire hills - a draw for walkers, riders and nature lovers alike! A wealth of birdlife (including buzzards, woodpeckers and ravens) has its home here. Severn Valley Steam Railway, Stokesay Castle, Shrewsbury, Ludlow and the Ironbridge Gorge, with its 10 museums, are each less than 20 miles away. The attractive market towns of Church Stretton (known as "Little Switzerland" by the Victorians) and Much Wenlock are both close by and offer a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants. A superb location!
Region 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 loved the relaxed atmosphere. The accommodation was fabulous and the hospitality was great. The location was brilliant for what we wanted to do
Mrs Morris

Every age group was catered for, and there was lots of space for people to be together or do their own thing.
Mr Parry
November 2015

Mrs Harkins
July 2015
The facilities for the children were fantastic and the cottage was a great size for two families, plenty of space.
Mr Turner
January 2015
The whole ambience was fantastic, a real home from home. The children could play outside without any worry for their safety, which allowed the adults to relax. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience and the attention to detail was second to none.
Mrs Dudley
November 2014
Such a beautiful week in Corn House for my birthday with my family and dogs. Dogs absolutely loved running round grounds and didn't want to leave. Overwhelmed by the kindness of staff and how helpful they were. The kitchen and utensils could not be faulted, everything you would ever need and more. I would like to say a massive thank you for a very enjoyable stay by all.
Ms Booth
April 2014
It was a wonderful cottage which we would surely book again. The facilities were great and catered for our family from a 7 to a 70 year old. It was safe for the children to play out and use the go carts and tennis courts, they also liked collecting the fresh eggs from the hen house!
I would definitely recommend this cottage.
Mrs Easton
October 2013
It was comfortable, warm and spacious with everything we needed. The freedom to use the outdoor area and facilities was a welcome bonus. We felt welcome, and greatly enjoyed our stay.
Mrs Barfield
September 2013
Very spacious, well equipped property in a get away from it all location.
Mrs Whiten
September 2013
Beautiful area. Farmer and wife and family were very welcoming and friendly. Excellent facilities for everybody, and we were a mixed age group. We are seriously thinking of repeating the holiday again next year.
Mrs Everitt
August 2013
A lovely house with lots to do for the children. We were very comfortable in and out of the house. The children loved the tennis court and go-karts. The small children loved feeding the pigs and seeing the chickens. Surrounding countryside very attractive. Would love to go back next year.
Mr Scowen
May 2013
Great accommodation and location. Loads to see and do very nearby. Great accessibility to countryside for cyclists, walkers and horseriders.
Mr Pernet
February 2013
A stunning complex of barn conversions.
The immense amount of space available meant still room to breathe, even with a lot of people in one dwelling.
The owners had thought of most every
eventuality, provided far more than we could have expected. So much for the children with us to do, and all within an amazing rural setting. Welcoming card and bottle of wine was a lovely touch, the home was all prepared for Christmas with a beautifully decorated tree.
Miss Norris
February 2013
The whole place was wonderful, didn't really need to go off site as there was sooo much to do at Corn House.
Ms Ingleby
November 2012
The family who run the farm and the property make that extra special effort to ensure you enjoy your stay - pony rides for the children for example. This property is brilliantly equipped for family stays. It is a real home from home. So comfortable and cosy. Can't recommend it enough!
Mr Carling
October 2012
We loved the location and the fact we were welcomed onto the farm and encouraged to interact with the farm animals. The children's play area was fantastic for kids of all ages (from 1 to 40!!). The owners who live in the main house were also very accommodating and helpful.
Mr Quick
September 2012
Proximity to good walking locations which was the main purpose of the holiday.
Mr Walton
August 2012
The additional facilities not normally found with a holiday cottage - farm walks and animals, lake and rowing boat, games inc. tennis court, table tennis, go karts, snooker etc. We all - children and adults, had a great time!
Mrs Cooke
July 2012
This was a wonderful barn conversion. It had furnishings that made it feel like a home rather than a holiday home. The all weather tennis court was a hit with the boys and having the badminton net in the triple garage meant they could still keep busy if the weather was wet.
Dr Church
December 2011
Very lovely spacious property in a rural location, farm animals on site for the children to see and fresh eggs to collect. Great for a family weekend.

Mr Palmer
September 2011
The cottage was extremely well presented with some lovely touches. It was very homely and there were no corners cut in relation to the facilities. The owners and their family were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we were happy for the week. The local info was very useful and we spent lots of time enjoying the farm walks and lakes.
Mrs Hudson

Lovely house, friendly chickens and helpful owner - giving information about local amenities, places to visit etc. Plenty of space in the house - was just like home with nice decor etc.

Mrs Tanner

House was very child friendly and great for entertaining, we were a group of 7 friends and had a wonderful time. The Royal Oak Pub in nearby Cardington was a huge bonus, very friendly staff and great traditional pub food.... and best of all within walking distance!
Mr Wood
November 2006
The property was spacious and comfortable, the scenery was stunning and we enjoyed the pleasant walks along quiet roads. We also enjoyed our visits to Ludlow and the air museum at Cosford.

Mrs Ebbs
May 2006
Fantastic property, we had 4 children all under the age of 4 and it was excellent for them, we couldn't get them out of the sand pit! The views were lovely from the property and the kids loved seeing the farm animals. We hope to visit there again.
Rev Butler
April 2006
The accommodation was excellent - allowing space and privacy for a large and varied party. The location was peaceful and handily located for country walks, pond dipping and real ale at the local pub. It was also a good centre for many of the historic sites of Shropshire. The owners were really helpful and the Corn house provided us with a beautiful and interesting setting for a very enjoyable relaxing holiday!
Mr Wilson
April 2006
The owners were perfect hosts and ensured that we enjoyed our holiday fully from providing recommendations of the various takeaways/restaurants in the area to providing horse rides for my wife and daughter...
Ms Best
November 2005
The cottage was made for relaxing in, everything was working and the decor was simple and well thought out. It was a luxurious home from home.
The location was beautiful and the owners had left lots of information to enable us to make the most of our stay in the area.
Ms Turvey
May 2005

A pleasant, spacious property. Owners welcoming to us and our family dog. Excellent walking - including from the house.
Mr Scott

Very spacious accomodation. Ideal for young children-lots of play equipment.
Mr Rodgers
December 2004
Over a wet winter week-end there was still plenty to see in the area a short car journey away.
Mr Horton
December 2004
A very warm welcome from the owners and family. Great walks directly from the house. A really beautiful area.
Mr Leggatt
December 2004
Space to wander was good e.g. Kite flying from paddock adjacent to house. View from garden (especially Turnip) was spectacular. Hills to see inspire a walk.
Ms Gilbert
December 2004
Property exceptional, probably the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. We shall return. The area was unfamiliar to us and we enjoyed exploring the area, Coalbookdale and Ironbridge are fascinating and the walking is wonderful, less well known than the Lakes or the Peaks but just as enjoyable.
Mr & Mrs Wade
December 2004
The standard of the accommodation was superb and the owners were extremely friendly and helpful. The best cottage we have experienced.
Mrs Davis
December 2004
Sara was particularly welcoming and helpful with local information. Good walking from the door. We were allowed free access to the farm land with the dogs. Plenty of room so that we could all find our own space when we wanted to.
Mrs Quinton
December 2004
Corn House was superb, we also had Turnip House which was also superb. Both properties were so well equipped, from towels and bedding to barbeque coals, toilet rolls, cleaning materials, dishwasher and a starter pack of wood for the fire. The best accommodation we have ever had.
Mr Kelly
December 2004
Good accommodation, very quiet, nice patio area with barbecue, Royal Oak pub in Cardington v good food. Easy travelling distance to Shrewsbury & Ludlow.
Mr Edwards
December 2004
What an absolute pleasure it was to spend a week in such wonderful surroundings not only the countryside but the barn itself was superb. Great thought had been taken when furnishing the property, and such helpful owners you could not ask for anything else. Fantastic food at the Longville Arms
Mrs Bearne
December 2004
The property is beautiful and situated in a quiet location with absolutely no traffic noise. The owners were lovely and keen to let our girls ride the ponies. The pool room (as in snooker/pool not swimming) was a real hit in the evenings. The man-made pools on the farm are a lovely feature and provided tranquillity.
