“RESTFUL, beautiful, peaceful, cosy, welcoming, relaxing”. This is how our guests describe their stay at The Walkmill.
At The Walkmill we have two detached, self-catering holiday cottages – Walkmill House and Walkmill Lodge all with private gardens and patios. They are set in four acres of beautiful Shropshire countryside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views of the Long Mynd and The Stiperstones, centrally located between Shrewsbury and Ludlow, 6 miles from Bishop’s Castle. We are open all year.
We are delighted to report that following our Visit Britain Assessment in December 2011 we once again secured the highly coveted Gold Award, for a further twelve months.
WINTER/EARLY SPRING SPECIAL OFFERS 2012
In February and March guests booking directly through us will enjoy a complimentary afternoon tea with homemade cakes, scones and preserves served with tea or freshly-ground coffee.
Winter is a lovely time to visit South Shropshire - there is nothing quite like enjoying a bracing walk on frost-crisp grass and then coming home to a warm cottage. Early Spring is lovely too, as the new lambs arrive. Our cottages have excellent central heating throughout and log fires in the sitting rooms, so they are the perfect retreat from the elements. We have put together some suggested itineraries for a weekend, or longer breaks at The Walkmill
The Walkmill is also our home which we share with our Westie ‘Lucky’, our working Cocker Spaniel ‘Lily’, our rare breed hens and our 6 ex-battery hens who arrived on 7th January 2012.
The Walkmill luxury self-catering holiday cottages sit alongside the East Onny River and offer visitors a peaceful riverside setting. This is a truly stunning part of England, with easy access to the beautiful market towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow. It is a wonderful location for simply relaxing or for the more adventurous offers golf, great walks, cycling routes, horse riding, fishing and even gliding.
We are less than a 30 minute drive from National Trust properties Powis Castle and Gardens, Cardingmill Valley and Attingham House, Park and Estate and less than an hours drive away from many more.
We would love to welcome you (back) to The Walkmill!
