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!

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.

The games room, go karts and of course the animals were a bonus which we enjoyed too. I would have no hesitation in recommending the properties and the area.
