Discover this rural retreat on a working farm near Ironbridge, an all-year-round destination. Enjoy a meal out at the pubs, restaurants or cafes, attend events and visit over ten fascinating museums alongside the world-famous bridge and its river. A fishing permit for the River Severn can be purchased in town or head downstream to try your skills in a coracle. Visit National Trust properties such as Benthall Hall, Dudmaston and Attingham Park, or the historic town of Shrewsbury and pretty Much Wenlock. Walkers can join numerous paths from the property and in the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This landscape of rolling hills and river valleys offers scenic cycling, golf and hang gliding, to mention just a few of the activities in the area.

Park the car and stroll down to this lovely shepherd’s hut with all your home comforts in the most magical of settings amongst woodland and rolling countryside. Once inside you have the full-size double bed to your left, then the lounge/kitchen/diner to your right. The wood burner takes centre stage by the side of the sofa for cosy nights in, maybe watching a film on TV. If you decide to eat in, the kitchen area is equipped with an electric oven and two-ring hob, fridge/freezer and microwave. It is a lovely space to rustle up a meal and enjoy your culinary delights at the cosy dining table, perfectly positioned by the window; open up the doors and let the outside in or head out on to the deck. Take a leisurely shower in the en-suite shower room with WC. Enjoy a good night’s sleep in the lovely double bed with fabulous views to wake up to.

Wonderful outside spaces to enjoy, a decking area with table and chairs, a brick-built charcoal BBQ, extensive lawn, seasonal planting, and an elevated deck suspended over a stream below with table and chairs is perfect for an afternoon treat. You are welcome to explore the farm and meet the cows, arranged directly with the owner. There is private parking for one car.

The hut was lovely, but not easily accessible if someone has mobility issues. We were lucky to have good weather and were able to sit outside, which increased the space considerably. Cooking equipment is adequate but basic. We were visited daily by the farm dogs, which we found lovely. We have already talked about booking again for another break ThRead moreank you Hide

We had a wonderful weekend staying in this small but perfectly formed corner of paradise! The hut had everything we could have needed for our stay and was so quiet and peaceful. Our hosts were exceptionally welcoming, even leaving the log burner lit and lights on for our arrival and providing suggestions for walks in the area. Our cocker spaniel waRead mores delighted by the amount of walking available on the doorstep (and by the fire in the evenings!). Very much recommend a stay at Wrens Nest! Hide

Perfect little getaway as a couple with our dog. Very cosy and warm once with the wood burner and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Derek was lovely and very welcoming and Molly the dog came to check on us as we were leaving. Will definitely be staying again.
