Ham’s House is a beautifully appointed red-brick barn conversion set within a smallholding on the outskirts of the charming village of Milson. Finished and furnished to a high standard throughout, it provides an idyllic retreat for couples or solo travellers looking to explore Shropshire’s picturesque market towns and villages, rolling countryside, and unspoilt rural landscapes.
The ground floor centres around a spacious open-plan living area, where dual-aspect windows flood the space with natural light and frame far-reaching views across the surrounding farmland. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with a comprehensive range of appliances, making holiday cooking effortless, while a dedicated dining area is a lovely setting for relaxed meals.
The sitting area has a sumptuous sofa and armchair arranged around a crackling wood-burning stove. Soft rugs and beautifully patterned cushions add warmth and character, creating a welcoming space to unwind with a glass of wine after a day exploring. During the festive season, a decorated Christmas tree with twinkling lights adds an extra touch of seasonal magic.
Upstairs, an elegant and airy bedroom sits beneath sloping ceilings, with a comfortable dressed in crisp white linens and a cosy quilt for cooler evenings. A sleek en-suite shower room with a spacious walk-in shower completes the accommodation.
Outside, a charming patio is a lovely spot for al fresco dining or evening drinks as the sun sets over the fields. Guests looking for something more active can also enjoy access to the owner’s tennis court.
The small village of Milson is home to an historic 11th-century church, while nearby Neen Sollars, a picturesque riverside village with Saxon origins, has a popular pub serving real ale and home-cooked food. Just three miles away, beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Clee Hills, lies the attractive town of Cleobury Mortimer, where Georgian and Tudor architecture lines the streets alongside independent shops, welcoming pubs, and restaurants, and a Grade II-listed parish church renowned for its distinctive twisted spire.
Located on the Welsh border in the West Midlands, Shropshire is a beautiful pastoral county dotted with historic market towns and sleepy villages.
On the banks of the River Severn lies the Ironbridge Gorge UNESCO World Heritage Site, where alongside the world’s first cast-iron bridge are ten museums celebrating the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Highlights include Blists Hill Victorian Town, where you can step back in time to explore Victorian shops and cottages, meet traditional craftsmen, and sample authentic period food; The Jackfield Tile Museum which tells the fascinating story of decorative tiles, complete with a recreated London Underground station and a 1940s bar; and the Coalbrookdale Museum of Iron which houses the original blast furnace where Abraham Darby I perfected revolutionary iron-smelting techniques.
There are many other historic attractions to discover across the county. Ludlow Castle is one of the finest medieval ruins in England, offering superb views and the chance to explore lodgings once occupied by kings, queens, princes, judges and nobility. Stokesay Castle is a remarkably preserved fortified manor house, with a magnificent great hall, towers to climb, a 17th-century timber-framed gatehouse, and a beautiful walled garden. At Attingham Park, a grand Regency mansion set within 200 acres of parkland, visitors can tour elegant interiors including the Dining Room, Sultana Room and the Picture Gallery with its iconic glass roof, while deer roam the surrounding estate.
For a fun-filled family day out, head to Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World, home to more than 100 fascinating animal species, including meerkats, lemurs, and owls, alongside life-sized dinosaurs that bring the prehistoric world to life. Alternatively, explore the Hawkstone Park Follies, where dramatic sandstone hills have been transformed into a fantastical landscape of gullies, caves, underground passages, towers, bridges, and precipice walks, crowned by a hilltop arboretum with a collection of over 150 plant species from around the world.
Shropshire offers no shortage of wonderful walking opportunities. The Long Mynd comprises sweeping heather-covered moorland and hills crisscrossed with footpaths, offering extensive views, wild swimming spots, and the four-metre high Lightspout Waterfall. For a more challenging climb, tackle The Wrekin, crowned by an Iron Age hill fort; on clear days, it is said that views extend across twenty historic counties of England and Wales.
Nature lovers will enjoy Fenn’s, Whixall, and Bettisfield Mosses, one of Britain’s largest and finest raised bogs. The unique habitat supports rare bog plants as well as adders, lizards, and hundreds of species of butterflies, moths and dragonflies. Wetland birds, including curlews, greenshanks, little ringed plovers, teal, wigeon, and shoveler, can also be spotted here.
The county town of Shrewsbury is well worth a visit, a charming Tudor town with black-and-white timber-framed buildings, cobbled streets, and a red sandstone castle that houses the Shropshire Regimental Museum. The town is also known for its lively nightlife, independent shops, and excellent food scene. Ludlow, another thriving market town, is also famed for its outstanding food culture and architecture, with more than 500 listed buildings scattered throughout its historic streets.
