About the home
Virginia Cottage was originally a barn set on a working farm. It has been converted to provide accommodation for groups of up to 4 people. The conversion has been undertaken with great care and the cottage retains much of its original character through features such as a wood-burning stove in the lounge. The decoration is modern, yet comforting and the property backs onto a private patio from where you can absorb the rolling scenery or enjoy a spot of summertime dining. Walks are available through the farm and the cottage is located close to other walking trails. There is parking for up to 2 cars, although the local shops are 2 minutes away on foot and the local pub is 4 miles away.

The Heart of England / Peak District / Shropshire region
A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was “the quietest place under the sun” and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
The Church Stretton / Acton Burnell area
The pretty little village of Acton Burnell is set in rolling farmland a few miles from Shrewsbury and takes its name from Robert Burnell, famous for building the lovely castle and church here in the 13th Century. Robert Burnell, who built the castle, also built Acton’s Church of St Mary, which is still in use and remains one of the most complete 13th century village churches in Britain. Acton is well-placed to explore further Shropshire attractions, such as Much Wenlock, Church Stretton, Attingham Park and Shropshire’s capital: Shrewsbury. There are plenty of walking and cycling opportunities, especially amongst the historic Shropshire Hills.

Guestbook for 1565 - Virginia Cottage
The cottage was furnished and equipped to a very good standard - warm, clean and comfortable. The owners were welcoming and helpful, but not intrusive. A good selection of information and OS maps allowed us to enjoy the many walks & attractions in the area.

,A beautifully presented property, it went far beyond our expectations. Restful, charming and convenient for all our needs. We would highly recommend it. You are to be congratulated Sykes for providing such wonderful properties to hire and also for the efficient manner in which your Company is run.

,There was a lot to see and do in the area for all ages and we intend to return in the near future to visit the places we did not have time to see this time. The owners were friendly and welcoming. The cottage is ideally located for exploring Shropshire and Wales.
