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!

Emily
There were hairs in the beds along with stains on the pillows, which resulted in people sleeping on sofaâs. The woman who we believe was the owner, wasnât very helpful when asking where the house was and on 2 occasions across a 3 day weekend pestered us for more money in her words âspare cashâ for using the swimming pool which we had already paid for at an additional charge. We had also paid for heating of the pool, but the pool was freezing during our paid session time. Everything seemed to be at an additional charge which is a real put off when youâve spent so much booking already - It is a shame as the house itself was beautiful but basic cleanliness and the pestering of the owner lets the property down.

The house is comfortable and the kitchens are well equipped. We stayed for 5 nights at Plaish Park Farm with children ranging from 1 to 6, all of which had a great time. There's plenty to keep the kids entertained such as feeding the pigs veggie scraps or playing in the garden sandpit. We wouldn't hesitate to return to Plaish Park Farm/Cornhouse.
