There are many ways to holiday in Shropshire. Pitch a tent in the wilderness and indulge in some stargazing. Snuggle up with your beloved in a shepherd’s hut for two – or a camping pod, fire truck, or even a former showman’s wagon. Check into a cosy B&B with an honesty bar and crackling fire. Or pull up outside a country house like a lord or lady of the manor, knowing your seven-course dinner (with wine flight, naturally) and four-poster bed are waiting…
Here is just a selection of Shropshire accommodation options: welcoming, heartwarming and occasionally quirky places I’ve either stayed at myself, or which have been suggested to me by people in the know. It is by no means exhaustive and I’d be delighted to hear your own recommendations via www.bradtupdates.com/shropshire.
