The small rural village of Alberbury sits in pretty countryside, 9 miles from Shrewsbury. There is so much to do in this area, from the ten museums of Ironbridge Gorge to the abbey, castle, shops and restaurants of Shreswbury. There are many National Trust properties within easy reach of Alberbury, including Attingham Park, Powis Castle, Chirk Castle and Erddig. Ludlow, with its castle and timbered buildings, is a lovely town for a stroll and a refreshing cream tea, or step back in time with a trip to Acton Scott Working Farm, seen on TV as ‘The Victorian Farm'.
Reviews
"Everything that we needed was provided within the accommodation. It was well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The atmosphere was very relaxing. The owners were friendly and welcoming - they were always available if needed but were not in any way intrusive. They kindly showed us around the other accommodation, which was all completed to the same high quality as the cart shed. The hot tub and games barn were particularly good features. I look forward to returning when the badminton court has been completed. The location is good for access to Shrewsbury, Chester and Wales - it is ideal for day trips out."
"We booked this the day before, travelling across country to find an attractive court yard setting on a small working farm. The owner, Robert, met us on arrival and showed us around the cottage. It really is well presented, a fully stocked and modern kitchen, spacious living area with comfortable reclining chairs, a wood burner, a big bedroom with a comfortable bed and walk in shower room. The garden is private and not overlooked, with a fantastic and easy to use hot tub. Another highlight is the underfloor heating throughout. The play barn, set near to the entrance of the cottages, is again modern and is a great idea, with a pool table, childrens play area, retro games machine with a lot of old Atari classics, an Air Hockey table and table top football, along with a stocked shelf of DVD's. All of this is free to use at any time of day! The local area has many pubs and restaurants, but it would be worth speaking to the owner before heading out as he has a good knowledge of the local area and owns property all around, but the tips we had paid off with great food. On leaving we were shown around the bigger cottages and all I can say is, 'Wow', the whole set up must have cost a fortune but the time and effort has paid off. We have spoken to many friends about returning here as a group and I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting a comfortable, reasonably priced stay in cracking accommodation."
