Shepherd's Cottage

About this property

Bridgnorth 3.5 miles. Shepherd's Cottage is a traditional, semi-detached, brick-built Victorian farm cottage that stands in a rural location in the hamlet of Eudon Burnell, surrounded by the owner's 330-acre arable farm amongst the lovely Shropshire countryside. This delightful holiday cottage is ideal for an all-year-round family holiday or for a couple wanting a quiet countryside retreat. Offering inviting accommodation throughout, this cottage is made even more welcoming by the woodburning stove, perfect for relaxing in front of after a day exploring the Shropshire countryside. The private, lawned garden is ideal for enjoying alfresco dining, or just sitting with a drink after a day exploring the many attractions of the area. This cottage near Bridgnorth is on the Jack Mytton bridle path and close to a national cycle route, offering guests excellent walking and cycling opportunities from the doorstep. There is also an excellent choice of fishing lakes in the immediate area around and the pretty market town of Bridgnorth is easily reached, boasting many individual shops, traditional pubs and excellent restaurants. A little further afield is the famous medieval town of Ludlow, pretty Church Stretton, known as Little Switzerland, many National Trust properties and the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. Shepherd's Cottage is a wonderful holiday destination for a memorable stay in the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

The market town of Bridgnorth lies in two very distinct halves - the High Town and the Low Town - separated by the red sandstone ridge on which the town is built. The two halves are connected by winding streets and flights of steps, or there is always the steep funicular railway, enabling the weary traveller to glimpse what Charles I called "the finest view in all my kingdom". A bustling Saturday street market provides an ample excuse to explore the town and examine the castle ruins, which lean at a greater angle than the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Flowing below is the River Severn, providing many pleasant riverside walks. The Severn Valley Railway runs between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster, and runs a variety of steam and diesel engines through picturesque country stations. In the areas surrounding Bridgnorth, there are a wealth of country parks, impressive houses, museums and picturesque Shropshire villages, as well as easy access to The Royal Air Force Museum at Cosford, and Ironbridge Gorge, with its 10 museums and striking landscape. The area offers excellent walking, and with the popular destinations of Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Church Stretton all within easy reach, it is ideal for a visit any time of the year.
