However, if you are feeling a little more energetic we have put together some suggested itineraries to give you an idea of how you could spend a weekend (or longer!) at The Walkmill during January, February and March 2012. These itineraries have been put together by Gilly and Brian Bachelor and are based on their personal recommendations!

Yesterday we collected six ex-battery hens from a farm in Oswestry, our girls have come all the way from Bristol! We are told that they are around 12 month old Warren’s (the breed).

STRONG START TO THE YEAR AT THE WALKMILL
We had a very good year at The Walkmill in 2011 booking out 40 weeks in each of our cottages, well above the industry average of around 25-30 weeks per year. This year has started very well. We are only one week into the new year and we have already sold 37 weeks across our two cottages!
Guests are booking early to secure their chosen weeks to avoid disappointment.

Our dogs – Lily and Lucky – are an important part of our family, and a key consideration when we’re planning a family holiday.I know we are not unusual as over half of our guests staying at The Walkmill bring their pooches with them.
We love dogs at The Walkmill, or should I write pets as we’ve got a house rabbit staying with us later this year!

We are delighted to report that the The Walkmill Luxury Holiday Cottages have been awarded the coveted Visit Britain Gold Award for the second year running. Only a small number of Shropshire’s self-catering properties have achieved this accolade, and only a handful, including The Walkmill, are dog-friendly.
