The Roost

Couples and dog owners will find The Roost well suited to a countryside break. This barn conversion on a working farm sits in quiet Shropshire countryside, within reach of Shrewsbury, Church Stretton and the walking hills beyond. You get the whole property to yourself: a single bedroom with a king bed, bathroom with bath and walk-in shower, and an open-plan living and kitchen space. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, dishwasher and washing machine. There is a wood-effect electric heater, Freesat TV and a DAB radio. One dog stays free.

Essentials are covered: electricity, wifi, bed linen and towels are all included. The enclosed patio garden has furniture and a barbecue for sitting out, and there is parking for two cars on site. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

Shrewsbury, a few miles away, has 600 listed buildings, a castle and museums, plus independent shops and restaurants. Church Stretton gives access to the Long Mynd and Carding Mill Valley for serious walking. Ludlow, Ironbridge Gorge, Bridgnorth and the Severn Valley Railway are all within an easy drive.
