Area
The market town of Craven Arms, known as The Gateway to the Marches sits between the beautiful medieval town of Ludlow and delightful Church Stretton. Craven Arms is an ideal base, which nestles close to the scenic Wenlock Edge and Corvedale Valley with fine walks from the town to lovely Stokesay Castle, one of England's finest fortified manors, or the very popular Shropshire Hill Discovery Centre. The town hascharming and historic houses, including a round house, thought to be a recognisable rest house for pilgrims travelling between Wigmore and Shrewsbury Abbeys and the fascinating 'Museum of Lost Content'. Just two miles away in the village of Wistanstow is the Plough Inn, a good local wood brewery. Church Stretton is close by and nestles between the Long Mynd and Caradoc Hills, renowned for their scenic walks and excellent golf course.

Region

The house is beautiful, it had everything we needed and was lovely and clean.. It was great to be able to bring our dogs and loved the garden. The hot tub was a real bonus we made good use of that!

We were celebrating Golden Wedding Anniversay with family, The cottage was so delightful, it was very well equipped, on arrival we were greeted with a beautiful cake and wine.. Tea, coffee, sugar, and cleaning materials were plentiful, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The hot tub was a great hit with all of us, it was one of the nicest holiday weeks we've had. Would love to return

Our holiday with our children and grandchildren was wonderful.. The lovely welcome with the large cake we enjoyed eating all week and bottle of wine was really appreciated. The living room opening out onto a really lovely garden was great, especially for the family and grandchildren to enjoy. The facilities in the kitchen, meant big family meals could be cooked. Would really recommend this cottage .

We enjoyed an annual family get-together in beautiful Shropshire.. The house was luxurious and we were made very welcome. The dining room, sitting room, kitchen, bedrooms, garden and hot tubs were all great. There was plenty of room for all eleven of us. There is little to improve - perhaps a few larger cooking pots and more cutlery. The games room had obviously been badly treated by previous guests but was being renovated as we left. All in all the owners should be proud of this excellent holiday home. Thank you.

This property was fantastic.. It was beautifully presented and was extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It also has a lovely garden with the hot tub which is a bonus. The Old Farmhouse is in a beautiful location with easy access to good walks and the lovely town of Ludlow. We thoroughly recommend this property. In addition we found the owners extremely helpful helping us get to the property in very difficult weather conditions.
