The Walkmill Luxury Self-Catering Cottages in Norbury, Shropshire.

Eating Out

Within walking distance of the holiday cottages

The Inn on Green
Less than a 5 minute walk from the holiday cottages the Inn On The Green is ideally located for a night out.  The Inn on the Green is a family run pub with a comfortable homely atmosphere especially in the lounge and dining room. The bar has a pool table and dart board and in winter has a log burning stove to supplement the central heating. The lounge has an open fire ideal for customers to sit by and enjoy a relaxing drink. The pub offers a full menu and bar snacks and a carvery on Sunday’s.

The Crown
Another favourite with Gilly and Brian but only when they’re feeling more energetic as The Crown is a fifteen minute walk (with a steep hill!) from the holiday cottages but when you do arrive you are assured of a warm welcome at this traditional 16th century family run country inn, with its beams, horse brasses and log fires. The Crown Inn offers real ales and home cooking to a good standard. Meals are served in the bar area or in a separate restaurant. The choices change daily from traditional homemade dishes to a full A-la-Carte menu with homemade sweets to finish.

The Horseshoe Inn At The Bridges
We have listed this as walking distance but be mindful it is 3 miles from the cottages!

Set amid some of the finest countryside in Shropshire and with several paths leading virtually to its front door - The Horseshoe Inn is the perfect place for a post-walk pint. Stroll through the beer garden areas or visit the Stiperstones just down the road. As well as some fantastic views, there’s also natural history interests with red kites, wild flowers and animals. The Horseshoe’s is renowned for its good food and its live music. Vist www.horseshoeinnbridges.co.uk to find out who is playing.
