Gold Award, 4* Property in Beautiful, Rural Shropshire Countryside

The Gold Award rated Hop Kiln is an early Victorian building in very peaceful, unspoiled countryside.
It is approached down a long drive off a quiet lane with the owners 16th century house adjacent. The building retains many original features, lots of beams and quirky level changes, and is decorated and furnished to a high standard with antiques, books and pictures and comfortable beds. There is a private courtyard furnished with a bbq, table and chairs and a parasol, and also a lawned area with wonderful sunset views across the countryside towards Mortimer Forest.
The Hop Kiln is ideal for people wanting to explore the beautiful Welsh Marches area. It is 5 miles to Ludlow with its renowned food and antique shops, restaurants set in glorious medieval and Georgian buildings. The castle is the location in June and July for a major arts festival and in September for it's world famous food festival.
Nearby is Tenbury Wells, an attractive small market town, with good food shops, butcher, baker, fishmonger, greengrocer all with a strong emphasis on local produce, as well as other unique shops, and a Tesco with a riverside setting! There are lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants for eating out.
It is excellent walking and cycling country with rolling countryside, the drama of the Clee Hills and the tranquillity of Mortimer Forest. We provide maps and guide books of the area and can advise you on good walks.

Beautiful location and great property.
We spent 4 lovely days in this original property Communication with Maggie was excellent and she was a discreetly available when we needed her. The location itself is stunning and this quirky property was a pleasure to stay in. Its proximity to the A49, makes for easy trips out. Church Stretton and Leominster were particular favourites.

A delightful property in the middle of the countryside.
If you like your holidays in a very quiet location, the Hop Kiln is certainly that. A homely property with plenty of charm, it was lovely to come back to after bracing country walks and settle in front of the log burner.

Relaxing break
We had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous converted hop kiln. The quirkly layout was fun, lots of different levels! The beds were so comfy as was the roll top bath! The weather wasnt great so our walks were very boggy but that didnt bother us. We were so relaxed in this warm, cosy house we didnt want to leave.
