James' Parlour is one of five fantastic self-catering properties at Alkington Grange Barns, where facilities include a swimming pool, sports area, and a special play area for toddlers. The location is scenic and rural, with easy access to beautiful walks and bike rides. James' Parlour is the largest of the five cottages, sleeping up to 12 people in five bedrooms. It's the perfect choice for families, extended families and friends to spend time together, having fun in the Shropshire countryside.
When we say there are great walks from the door, we're not lying. The long-distance Shropshire Way passes through the farm's property on its 200-mile route, linking places that include Shrewsbury, Bishop's Castle, Ludlow, Iron-Bridge, Wellington and Much Wenlock. Other local footpaths include The Sandstone Trail, Llwybr Maelor Way, and South Cheshire Way. Just down the road is the Llangollen Canal which you can hop on and walk or cycle to Whitchurch and Grindley Brook, four miles north of the farm.
Walking and cycling aren't the only two fun activities on offer. Local attractions include National Trust properties such as Erddig Hall, Attingham Park, and the Roman ruins at Wroxeter. The Royal Air Force Museum in Cosford and the Secret Nuclear Bunker at Hack Green will both appeal to military buffs. Chester Zoo and Alton Towers are slightly further afield but still within reach for a fun day out, as is the historic city of Liverpool. There are three UNESCO World Heritage Sites within an hour's drive of Alkington Grange Barns, so plan a visit to Ironbridge Gorge, Liverpool's Maritime Mercantile City, or the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal. Other places for a day trip include Chester, Whittington Castle and Beeston Castle.
Staying at James' Parlour means you don't have to go anywhere for fun and adventure. Facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, a multipurpose sports court with markings for tennis and football, a playground especially for toddlers and young children, a picnic site and a wildlife area.
All bookings come with the reassurance of Master Cancel insurance. Please see the owner's website for more information.
