The Parlour

Sleeps 4
2 Bedrooms
From £215 per night

Overview

Hidden away in the Shropshire Hills, The Parlour is an escape for those who want to do just that – escape from the day to day and really, truly get back to nature. Sitting at the end of a winding drive that takes you through a field of friendly cows, it’s a place to switch off, slow down, and connect with your surroundings.

Brimming with character thanks to the exposed beams, homely touches, and endless country views, it hosts up to four guests in two warm, welcoming bedrooms. There’s a cosy living space, a beautiful garden complete with a wildflower meadow, and the pièce de résistance – an outdoor William Holland tub from which to watch the stars.

Kitchen, Living & Dining Areas

At the heart of the property sits an open-plan kitchen and living room, a perfect set up for slow mornings and long evenings spending time together, cooking, and soaking up the views. In the summer, throw open the door to the endless rolling views. Come winter, light the log burner and hunker down. The picture window is a standout feature, enhancing the views and offering the perfect spot to sit and read, paint, or simply soak it all in.

The Bedrooms & Bathrooms

There are two lovely bedrooms at The Parlour, one on the ground floor and one upstairs. Both super kings that can be turned into twins on request, they sleep four guests comfortably. The downstairs room is next to a modern shower room, while the upstairs room sits opposite the main bathroom, complete with rolltop bath and sweeping views across the countryside.

Outside

Stepping into the garden at The Parlour feels like stepping into an endless expanse of countryside. Rolling hills stretch as far as the eye can see, with cows and sheep meandering by. Outdoor furniture peppers the patio, where you can sit and soak it all in, while the vibrant meadow of wildflowers adds a colourful backdrop. Then, best of all, there’s a William Holland copper bathtub (with running hot water), where your evening bath can take on a whole new level.

Children & dogs

Please note, The Parlour is not suitable for children or dogs.

You’re surrounded by fields at every turn, stretching to the Stiperstones and Birchope Wood, and with public footpaths from the front door, the countryside is yours to explore.

Things To Do

Get lost in the charming town of Shrewsbury

Modern eateries meet historic character in this delightful nearby town, which happens to be the birthplace of Charles Darwin.

Things To Do

Hike the Stiperstones

Marvel at the defining landscapes of this part of Shropshire, all wild heathland, rocky tors and huge views in every direction.

Things To Do

Bishop's Castle

The nearest town, Bishop's Castle is Medieval in origin and wonderfully unpolished. Explore independent shops, pubs, arts, and plenty of culture.

Things To Do

The Poetry Pharmacy

A genuine one-off, this is a must-visit for delicious coffee with a hearty side of poetry and philosophy.

Eat & Drink

The Bridges, Ratlinghope

A local gem with an abundance of rural charm. Stop for lunch or a pint after a long walk in the hills.

Eat & Drink

The Crown, Wentnor

Another local within easy reach, this spot is tiny, traditional, and all about proper pub food.

Eat & Drink

The Three Tuns, Bishop's Castle

Integral to Bishop's Castle's historic brewing story, this is well worth a visit for local ales, hearty pub food, and a lively atmosphere.

Things To Do

Cycling & mountain biking

The Shropshire Hills are superb cycling country, with recognised road routes and some fantastic mountain-bike trails. The terrain ranges from long, quiet lanes to much more challenging riding across the hills, depending on your level.

Things To Do

Gliding & paragliding

The Long Mynd is renowned for soaring. Gliding and paragliding offer an entirely different way to experience the scale of the landscape – and perhaps the best view you can get of the hills.

Things To Do

Private clay shooting

This can be arranged on request.
