The Heart of England / Peak District / Shropshire region
Encompassing the Cotswolds, Shropshire and the Welsh Borders, this true “heart of England” offers honey coloured stone cottages, country towns and tranquil countryside. Shropshire delights with its variety. Whether exploring the castle, narrow streets or fine dining of Ludlow, strolling by the river in medieval Shrewsbury or discovering delightful Church Stretton, Bridgnorth or Bishops Castle, you can be assured of plenty to see and sample.
Even the museums and attractions are wide ranging; from the industrial investigations to ecologically informative nature centres, and even the chance to step back in time and visit a working Victorian village. Even the landscape alters, from the hills, heaths and deep wooded valleys of the Welsh borderlands to the magnificent, moorland scenery of the Long Mynd, while the beautiful Teme, Clu, Corve and Onny valleys host an amazing variety of wildlife.
You can even take a walk on the wild side among the legendary Stiperstones, at Wenlock Edge and within the stunning Clee Hills. Herefordshire offers visitors the chance to journey through lush green countryside, enjoying splendid black-and-white timbered villages, a magnificent cathedral city, a fairytale Georgian castle at Eastnor or books galore in famous Hay-on-Wye. And if all that touring leaves you thirsty, lashings of Herefordshire cider should do the trick!
The Craven Arms / Diddlebury area
Amidst the beautiful South Shropshire countryside in the lovely Corve Dale Valley sits the pretty village of Diddlebury, just eight miles from the historic market town of Ludlow. Boasting an award winning pub nearby, this peaceful location offers excellent walking and cycling opportunities in the outstanding Welsh Marches and the renowned Wenlock Edge, Clee Hills and Long Mynd Hills. With its listed buildings and medieval street patterns, nearby Ludlow provides a fascinating backdrop for the town's regular street markets. With a 900-year-old castle to explore, Michelin starred restaurants, tea shops, pubs and inns, visitors to Ludlow are sure to find something to do there. Church Stretton, Shrewsbury and Hereford are all within easy driving distance, making this a great place for people looking to explore all this lovely region has to offer.

,Accommodation of excellent standard and plenty of room and the swimming pool was great for kids. This is a beautiful part of the UK, and the hosts were really friendly and helpful.
Mr Stirling, Airdrie, North Lanarkshire

,We enjoyed being right out in the country. The two stars of the show were the heated swimming pool and the friendly horses whose stable was about 10 metres from the master bedroom door.
