Description

4 Prestigious barn conversions, decorated and furnished to a very high standard, set in a lovely courtyard in the beautiful Hope Valley. GOLD AWARD 2009/2010

Middle Westhope Farm has been in the Manley family for over a 100 years. It is still a working farm but we have carefully converted some of the old brick farm buildings into self catering accommodation, set in a lovely courtyard. The Westhope Valley is a delightful hideaway with few dwellings, beautiful scenery and a wide range of walks. Situated at the southern end of Wenlock Edge, this great area offers great walking, cycling and wildlife watching opportunities. Discover lovely Church Stretton just a short drive away or visit one of the many other attractions nearby such as the surrounding Long Mynd hills, Stokesay Castle, Ironbridge with it's many museums, or medieval Ludlow and Shrewsbury with their wonderful architecture, castles, shops, and restaurants. This is a great location at any time of year.

Within our 250 acre farm we have built wildlife pools, have seating and a picnic area and created designated walks which vary in distance. The Westhope area has a network of public footpaths, woodlands and meadows, which we hope you'll explore and make the most of during your break.
