About this property

Much Wenlock Cottage - Sleeps 4

Situated in the heart of this small and quintessentially 'olde-English' town of Much Wenlock, 'End Barn' provides fine quality accommodation within an easy walk of the towns historic attractions. With numerous medieval buildings, pubs and restaurants, there's much to see and do before even wandering further afield to explore the rest of Shropshire.

End Barn itself is a recently converted 17th Century barn and sleeps up to 4 people, perfect for a couple or small family.

The property is entered from the side of the building where a private parking space allows for ease of unloading your luggage and keep the cars off-road in an otherwise popular tourist part of town, so there's never a worry about getting parked at anytime of the day.

At the rear of the cottage, double french doors lead to the newly fitted kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is very well equipped with 4 ring gas burning hob, grill and oven. The matching kitchenwares include toaster, microwave, kettle and tea and coffee pots. Plus there's also washing machine for guests staying for longer holidays. The open plan dining room boasts views over the garden and to the field beyond. The hallway leads through to the lounge, with inglenook fireplace and an electric 'log burning stove' effect fire. The flatscreen TV comes with an integrated DVD player.

Upstairs, the two bedrooms, one double and one twin room, are both dressed with fine quality linen and complete with their own shower rooms.

Outside, the garden is shared with the owners who live next door, which you are most welcome to enjoy at your leisure. Garden chairs are provided on your own small patio area for you to enjoy the most pleasant outlook.

Much Wenlock has many places to dine out, with a variety of traditional English pubs, cafes and restaurants within walking distance from End Barn.

Situated just a short 10 minute drive from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge, End Barn is ideally located for exploring Shropshire. Home to a number of iconic castles and famous stately homes, Shropshire has much to offer with the county offering many historic places of interest.

Walkers are spoiled for choice too with Wenlock Edge beginning from the town and thus from your own front door if you choose. Just a short 15 minute drive takes you further into The Shropshire Hills including the walker friendly town of Church Stretton. From here it's all-year-round walking country with The Stretton Hills and the ever popular Long Mynd – a whaleback ridge of multiple summits and valleys. Further afield The Stiperstones and south Shropshire hills provide endless routes for all abilities.

Telford Shopping Centre is within easy reach, with it's many high street stores all under one roof - whilst for something a little more traditional, Shrewsbury, which is a 15 minute drive away offers a wide range of independent shops. Further afield, the market town of Ludlow with it's impressive castle which holds a variety of festivals, medieval buildings and Michelan star restaurants is a 40 minute drive away.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful small town
We found the location of this cottage perfect as it was only 3 minutes walk into the centre of the town and was also ideal for visiting the surrounding places of interest and beautiful countryside. Gwen and Brian were very welcoming and we were able to enjoy their lovely garden. The beds were extremely comfortable.

Amazing
Have stayed in many cottages over the years and I have to say End Barn was spotlessly clean and well kept. Brian & Gwen were lovely people and very understanding with our slight accident! Much Wenlock is a stunning place, steeped in history and is a perfect location to easily reach all that Shropshire has to offer. We had a wonderful week. Thank you so much.

Lovely two storey property, helpful owners available.
Compact property, but plenty of room for three adults. Clean and well furnished all over, the bedrooms were very comfortable; having two en suite bathrooms and showers was good; kitchen and dining area more than adequate for our holiday needs, and direct access to a lovely garden area...perfect to catch the morning sun rise; and the lounge caught the late afternoon sun. Much Wenlock is a relaxing town to retreat to after exploring the Shropshire countryside and larger towns such as Ludlow and Shrewsbury. We particularly enjoyed the local Indian restaurant, and the Talbot does good pub meals if you like large portions! No wi-fi meant we relaxed with good books, and short local walks along the disused railway line for example. Highly recommended place to stay.

Lovely stay in shropshire
Brian and Gwen were very welcoming and were available if we needed them. The cottage was well maintained and fitted out. Much Wenlock was a lovely little town with a pubs and restaurants to eat in - many more coffee shops in the day. Very handy for visiting many of the sites in that area.
