The Shooting Folly

The shooting folley was absolutely brilliant stay, peaceful, relaxing and private.

Beautiful place to stay, it has everything you need for your stay, it ust felt ike home from home. If the sunshine out then you have it all day, seating provided and a barbecue, the hot tub is fab and a bonus aswell as the summer house, overall all excellent stay, owners are lovely and welcoming aswell as the cows in the fields around you. We will definitely be back and if your looking at this an thinking of booking then don't hesitate you will 100% be happy you did.

The Shooting Folly was impeccably clean and beautifully presented with lovely touches to make you feel welcome.

It's a quirky looking property which is what first attracted me and it feels much larger inside than it looks, due to clever use of space. There are pretty walks nearby but even in bad weather it wouldn't be a hardship to cosy up by the woodburner for the day. Stephen is a friendly, helpful host and that's reflected in all the lovely comments in the visitor book.

The Shooting Folly is a beautiful place to stay.

It has everything you need and the location is lovely. Check in was really easy and the whole break was really relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

Very nice 4 night short break in December.

Warm welcome from the owner when we picked the keys up from the nearby farm and pleasantly surprised that the log burner was lit for us as well as the hot tub being ready for use. A Christmas tree in the front room completed an excellent first impression. Cosy and well equipped property. Would definitely recommend.

The perfect place to get away in the English countryside.

The Shooting Folley has been renovated to a very high standard and is perfect for a couple. We will definitely return.

Lovely setting even in the colder months,Stephen and Tracey have thought of everything.

We had a lovely relaxing week. Thank you both.

A beautiful quirky cottage in a perfect setting.

. total relaxation, a great place to unwind alongside the inquisitive cows..the hot tub was the cherry on the cake.. We would highly recommend this hidden gem and will definately be returning..

Our 2 night stay at The Shooting Folly was not nearly long enough.

We absolutely loved the Folly, everything we needed was there. It was cosy and comfortable and the hot tub was very relaxing. Our neighbours (a heard of cows) were fascinating to watch first thing in the morning, sitting outside with our coffee.Stephen was really friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed watching him appear with the food for the cattle. A great stay to finish our anniversary get away. We hope to revisit the Folly again soon, we would recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

Excellent property, well equipped and a lovely place to stay and the owner was great

An excellent place to escape all yne drudgery of the world.

Quite relaxed and a perfect escape. The hosts Stephen and Tracey were excellent especially little touches like the local ginger bread biscuits and fresh farm eggs. The hot tub was a good send for relaxing

Beautiful peaceful Folly.

Landscape was just amazing.Stephen was very helpful and considerate.I would recommend the Folly to anyone who wants a very relaxing break from this crazy world.

Beautiful place and delightful surroundings.

Had a lovely relaxing weekend, would definitely revisit.

Wonderful short stay .

We loved it . Very quaint property. Impeccably clean from top to bottom. We will be back at some point . Thank you for your hospitality. Rob and Tracey .

Beautiful property and surrounding countryside, a warm welcome for peaceful break.

My husband and I spent a wonderful Christmas at The Shooting Folly.

It was utterly perfect, they really have thought of everything. The quality of everything is top-notch, loved the bathrooms, kitchen is very well equipped (the freezer section of fridge even had ice-cubes ready for the gin and tonics - much appreciated!) They have a fantastic range of alcohol you can opt to buy, it is not overpriced, such a great idea. We didn't need to use it as had our own but for those that forget, there is something for everyone. Of course, we both enjoyed the hot tub, so good to get in after the long walk to and from the pub on Christmas Day (wonderful weather, stopped at the beautiful church on the way there and back) and the wood burning stove was so cosy. They don't charge for any of the wood, most places give you a free starter pack and then you pay after that, but not The Shooting Lodge. Neither of us can fault anything. It was all quite last minute, we felt we needed to get away this year, and The Shooting Lodge couldn't have been more perfect for us. As you drive up, it all looked magical, so cute and then you are met with the underfloor heating and loveliness. There were eggs and some lovely ginger biscuits, which I scoffed as my husband doesn't like ginger (bonus). The Christmas Tree lights were on, the place was warm, colourful lights around the hot tub - I love fairy lights so that's a winner from the get go. Loved the bedlinen, the styling, the chocolate on the towels - little touches are always appreciated. We both said we could easily live here permanently. I'll be honest and say that we would never have come across this place as up until July 2024, we had our beautiful dog but sadly, she died and that is the only reason we found this place as it doesn't accept dogs (understandably as it is a dairy farm). So thank you to the family, you've created something very special and we both felt it was a privilege to stay there and hopefully we'll manage to come back before we get another furry family member.

Pretty little place away from hustle and bustle.

Exactly what we were looking for, a quiet relaxing break with lovely walks straight from the doorstep... just perfect.

Just perfect.

...loved everything about this cottage. Sensitive and tasteful restoration of a historic building but with modern touches - lovely shower room, underfloor heating was a real bonus and the hot tub fantastic for the end of day wind-down. The location was brilliant...so quiet with only the sound of cows and birds audible, good walks straight from the door and a feeling of being very remote but with plenty of villages and small towns to explore nearby. The weather was kind, no rain for the whole week and we even had lunch in the garden in the November sunshine......watched by the cows! Highly recommend and hope to return.

What a lovely place to get away from it all.

Lots of lovely walks from the doorstep or short drive to some lovely towns and villages. Host was really helpful, facilities were great and hot tub a bonus. We will be back.

We absolutely loved our stay here, a gorgeous property in a beautiful location!

We were very comfortable, just had to watch the low ceilings upstairs. The owner was great; very helpful on arrival and the treats waiting for us in the cottage were a lovely touch, and much appreciated. It was just the get away we needed, thank you very much.

The Folly is a wonderful mix of cosy and luxury, a romantic snug but with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday.

The setting is fantastic and the cottage oozes history and charm.

Lovely little lodge.

Clean, well equipped. Loved the hottub. Just a note that this place is very very rural. Roads are unmade in places. And difficult if you meet another vehicle coming in opposite direction , with little passing places ! But as it’s this rural it’s very quiet.

Fabulous place to stay.

The Folly is truly marvellous and so beautifully equipped. Loved the hot tub and great to have towels provided for it. The cows added plenty of entertainment and other wildlife was in abundance. Lovely walking in the area with a couple of pubs offering excellent food enroute to the canal. A very memorable break. All dealings with Sykes were very easy and Stephen was a very thoughtful owner.

Everything you could possibly need in a beautiful setting.

This property exceeded our expectations.

A fabulous gem & a real credit to Stephen & Tracey Beautiful surroundings & friendly, helpful owners We will return!

Many thanks

Beautiful setting and accommodation, would recommend highly 10/10.

Very relaxing stay.

The hot tub was an added bonus for relaxing at the end of the day.

We enjoyed our stay and Tracy and Steve did everything to make our stay perfect

Well what an absolutely amazing place, totally exceeded our expectations.

Stayed at this little gem for 5 nights & everything about it was just perfect it was faultless. Thanks to Stephen & Tracey for allowing us to share a little piece of heaven we will now consider this to be our special place & can’t wait to return. Best Wishes Dave & Rebecca

Wow what an amazing property and location to escape to.

We had an amazing time in the perfect location, will be returning for sure. The property is totally unique and Stephen was a great host.

The Shooting Folly, what a gem of a place.

Peaceful and Relaxing was what we were looking for and we got just that. Hot tub, mod cons and Beautiful surroundings, couldn't ask for more. Would recommend and looking forward to a revisit.

Had a lovely stay in your beautiful folly.

Don't change a thing! Faultless once again, thank you.

It was fantastic everything we wanted and everything we thought it would be.

Stephen was very helpful. It was a surprise for my other half and she could not of been more pleased with it. Thank you.

Amazing!

From start to finish we could not have been happier. So peaceful and the scenery was spectacular. Stargazing in the hot tub and breakfast looking out onto the fields. The little touches with fresh eggs on arrival and the log fire already lit added that true sense of being looked after. We will definitely be booking again and recommending to friends and family. Anyone looking for the perfect getaway for 2, this is the place to go.

Truly exceptional property, we described it to friends today as ‘5 star plus, plus’.

Everything from the basics like loo rolls and dish clothes, little extras like chocs on the bed and fresh eggs & local biscuits was done with care, quality, and attention to detail. The Christmas tree and decorations was a particularly lovely welcome with the fire going and underfloor heating on when we arrived after a long drive through ice and snow made it even more welcoming and special. The finish on the property was excellent, bed was extremely comfy, lovely quality bed linen - and ooooh the hot tub was heavenly!! It is obvious the renovation of the Shooting Folly was a real labour of love. The kitchen is very well equipped and laid out in such a way that cooking was as intuitive as if we were at home. Our hosts were warm and welcoming, the dairy cows were charming neighbours. The rural location enabled us to really get away from it all and properly unwind, relax and recharge. It was lovely to have a tour of the farm too, thank you. The Shooting Folly is conveniently located for Ironbridge and Shrewsbury, we were also delighted to explore the local towns and villages. We are likely to return in the very near future and try the hot tub when there isn’t frost or snow- we can’t wait!

Extremely peaceful cozy cottage in beautiful surroundings.

Completely rested the hot tub was amazing

It was fantastic a lovely little folly in the middle of nowhere.

Peace and quiet plenty of wild life only the cows to talk too fantastic

We had a great, chilled time- that’s why we keep coming back.

Fantastic escape from the rat race- thank you.

Fantastic Place to chill out & reset in the quietest of locations.

Loved every minute & really didn’t want to leave. So much attention to detail & thought has gone into designing the folly. Having Breakfast with the door open so we can ‘talk’ with the cows, every window giving fantastic views. Oh… & the hot tub… Relaxing in the bubbles next to the herd as the sun goes down. perfection!

Wonderful property ….

Relaxing and peaceful ! Granddaughter really enjoyed watching the cows !

Absolutely beautiful little cottage, so peaceful and relaxing.

The photos do not do it justice. We loved watching the cows from the hot tub. Stephen the owner/farmer was so friendly and helpful and suggested some fantastic places to eat nearby. If you want somewhere where you can completely switch off, relax and recharge your batteries in the most beautiful place then we can think of nowhere better!

Absolutely stunning property and setting.

Everything you needed for a peaceful break, thank you.

We loved the setting and the accommodation.

The eggs, milk, biscuits and chocolates were a lovely touch. Also the supply of washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets long with soaps etc. These all added to the convenience of the rental. Being able to relax in the hot tub after a day out was an added bonus. Thank you for everything

Very sweet and unique place - obvious that a lot of love went into restoring it.

Just the escape we were looking for.

Wow!

What a find! The shooting folly is absolutely stunning and perfect for a relaxing stay away. The property is well thought out and has been furnished to a high standard. It was super clean on arrival and the fresh milk and eggs were greatly appreciated. It's really private so perfect for getting away from it all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to go back.

Just perfect

Our second visit to The Shooting Folly and once again, it didn't disappoint.

Everything as we remembered. The peace, quiet and hot tub were great for relaxing. A great base for visiting Ironbridge, Trentham and Hawkstone Park Follies. I'm sure we will be visiting again. Thanks for the eggs, milk and biscuits - they were really good.

We had a lovely relaxing long weekend at the Folly.

Would definitely recommend it to friends. The honesty bar is a great idea. Rebuilding the Folly must have been a labour of love and it shows in the finished product. It was a shame that the poor weather kept the cows inside up at the farm.

What a wonderful cozy cottage with the added luxury of the hot tub.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. It was warm, cozy and had everything we needed, mobile reception was a bit sketchy but who cares. It was really clean and the bed was really comfortable... just lovely!

Lovely cottage that has been tastefully restored with modern comforts.

Little extras very much appreciated especially the fresh egg and farm fresh milk

We had a wonderful stay in The Shooting Folly.

The cottage is very comfortable and full of character and the hot tub was very welcome after a hike. Cheswardine is an easy 2 mile walk across the fields and the Red Lion pub is very welcoming. All in all a lovely place to explore North Shropshire.

The Shooting Folly is a fantastic cottage for a couple looking for peace and quiet in an unspoiled part of the country.

Everything is provided, including towels for use with the hot tub and even an honesty bar. The cottage is warm and spotlessly clean. There are numerous walks in the area in woodland, farmland and by the canal; a couple of local pubs and it’s only a short drive to small towns like Newport and Market Drayton. We thoroughly recommend it.

This was our first stay at the Shooting Folly, and it won't be our last.

We chose the Folly to stay over the New Year. We wanted a quiet and comfortable stay. We certainly got that however, the pictures do not do the property justice. The style of the decorations and furnishings is spot-on, and the attention to detail was fantastic. We are seasoned travelers, and always take some extra utensils/glassware - nothing was required. The hosts were great, and the fresh milk and eggs were a lovely touch. Definately recommended.

Lovely property suitable for two people wanting a quiet retreat in the Shropshire countryside.

The cottage had everything needed including an honesty bar! The fresh milk and eggs were very welcome - thank you Stephen. We hope to come again later in the year.

A lovely period property with a real home from home feel.

Stephen was very helpful when we got lost in the dark. The little extras where a nice touch. The fresh milk was yumi it brought some lovely childhood memories back. Thanks again Stephen.

A beautiful home and location.

The cottage is well equipped and we were very comfortable. We will certainly be returning in the future.

The Shooting Folly is an ideal hideaway for 2 people.

The place is cute, comfortable and clean. The finishing touches such as fresh farm eggs and milk, the honesty bar and warm hospitality make you feel very welcome and at home. The hot tub is fantastic as you sit, enjoying the warm bubbles, a cold drink and incredible views across the fields. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a romantic, quiet getaway.

Fantastic property, everything you need for a quiet relaxing getaway.

The shooting folly was a perfect get away the restoration was amazing tranquility at its best

An amazing little find in a beautiful area.

We had such a peaceful and tranquil time and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to relax and unwind. Many thanks to Stephen and Tracey for the effort they have put in to creating the folly well worth all the hard work they've done.

Just an amazing place.

Tranquility personified! 100% recommend spending a few nights at the folly and just enjoying the peace, cows and country side.

Great little cottage with everything that you need including total peace and the lack of any light pollution with just the cows for neighbours.

...perfect. Just what we were looking for and will definitely be staying here again.

This is a lovely isolated quirky cottage, situated in the heart of Shropshire countryside.

It was lovely to sit in the garden and listen to the peace and quiet of the surroundings (and the occasional ‘’moo’’ from the cows). The cottage was really well equipped and the hot tub was a nice addition. We took our bikes and loved cycling around the traffic free country lanes.

The Shooting Folley is certainly a very unique property set in the most rural of locations.

If you're looking for a place to get away from it all and be able to totally relax then this is worth considering. We found the property very well equipped with everything you could need with the hot tub adding the icing to the cake. The owner Stephen, who lives on the adjacent farm, was also very friendly and accommodating. If you like walking there are several good local walks that can be navigated straight from the cottage, although we would recommend wearing decent boots and trousers as we found some parts of the walks overgrown and a little difficult to follow. Apart from walking there are several interesting places to visit in the area that are not too far away, with Ironbridge, Shrewsbury and Stoke all be very well worth a visit. The pubs and restaurants in the area are good, were particularly impressed with the Gastro Pub 'The Swan with Two Necks'. Living in Norfolk we are used to rural, but found this part of Shropshire to be on a different level. To sit on the patio or in the hot tub surrounded by cow fields (literally) in complete piece and quiet with just birds and the occasional cow 'mooing' was a wonderful experience and one we will long remember. Many thanks Stephen and Sykes Cottages.

What a fantastic place to stay.

The location and tranquility was just what was required. Yes its snug but its still amazing place to stay. Steve and Tracy have done an amazing restoration and have thought of everything. The underfloor heating was a god send when coming from the hot tub and when it really cold it will be amazing. The Folly is well equipped and well thought out. The hot tub cover is a manual lift and is quite heavy to remove. The only thing that would make it a better stay would be a bigger fridge and especially one that the door open the opposite way, it was a bit awkward getting around the table to get in the fridge. But would but highly recommend this for a stay. Will miss the calves in the field behind, they were very entertaining, just wish we had taken more suitable footwear and it could have been possible to have a tour of the farm and see the cows being milked. The fresh milk and farm eggs were a lovely touch, had forgotten how nice fresh milk is. Well worth a stay and we would return.

Lovely place to stay so relaxing great hosts

Fabulous little getaway in what feels like the middle of nowhere.

The folly as you approach it looks like a tiny “Wendy house” , inside it is just perfect it had everything you need and nothing you don’t, there’s just the right amount of room to happily “set up camp” for a week away. The bed is comfortable and lovely quality pillows. On the doorstep fresh, I mean super really fresh milk was delicious. Just a great week away

Really comfortable property in great location.

10/10

What an amazing place.

We had such a relaxing stay. Everything has been done to such a high standard. It truly was like a home from home, including lovely little extras like fresh milk and eggs from the farm. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

We had a wonderful stay which was above any beyond our already high expectations.

The folly itself is every bit as good as it looks in the ad but the extras really do make this an excellent place to stay. We hope to stay again soon.

My boyfriend and I visited the folly for three nights and it was just perfect!

Lots of little extras that were well thought out. The fire was well stocked and the hot tub warmed up for our arrival, even some fresh eggs and milk from the farm left on the table for us. It's so cute and cosy and great for some romantic time away in the countryside! The nearest pub is about an hours walk away. Although don't do what we did and have too many drinks you can't walk back home! All in all a wonderful little stay-cation and we will be back again for sure. Thanks very much Stephen. :)

Fantastic relaxing time, it does what it says on the tin.

Idyllic property, perfect for a relaxing get away.

We have a wonderful time, enjoying the charm and quirk of The Shooting Folly; we loved waking up to seeing the cows in the field and taking dips in the hot tub surrounded by mist hanging over the fields.

An amazing property.

Loved having the history of the cottage & the before renovation photos included in the welcome folder. Lovely touch with the fresh farm milk, eggs & local ginger biscuits on arrival. The cottage was warm & cosy for our autumn visit. The only negative I have is that our week was up far too quick & we didn't want to leave

The bedroom was very cramped for space, especially for the person on the window side.

The bedroom loo door was noisy and a quiet visit to the loo in the night was not easy. Very small sitting room.

Great unique Folly beautifully presented in an idyllic location, loved the hot tub under the stars, can't wait to return.

The Shooting Folly was an absolutely wonderful little place to stay at, our favourite of all the Hideaways properties we have had the pleasure of holidaying in.

Very well equipped, clean, comfortable and so peaceful, just the occasional mooing of the cows, what lovely, friendly neighbours to have. It was also fantastic to sit out in the hot tub, so relaxing in a fabulous environment. My wife and I can not recommend this little oasis of a place highly enough, we would just say that everyone should go there! Finally big thanks to Stephen for his warm welcome and knowledge regarding walking around the locality, and also for recommending a visa to Bidulph Grange (N.T.) stunning gardens. If you can - just book it!

It was lovely and peaceful

This is a lovely location and fantastic way to relax

The Shooting Folly was all it had promised in the advertising.

Steve was really welcoming and made it easy for us to feel we could relax and have as much or as little contact as we needed.

Pretty area and cottage.

Loved the log burner and hot tub. Very helpful staff on phone at Sykes.

We had the most relaxing time ever!

Just what we needed.

It was so private and relaxing just what me and my partner needed abit of piece and quiet away from reality.

Would definatly recommend and hopefully will return to this beautiful property.

From booking our holiday to arriving at our lovely cottage, everything was perfect!

Thank you.

Great break

From ringing Stephen asking him where the key was to then ringing him 2 days later to ask where to leave the key just went by in a flash.

.!! The sight of him driving down his field in his Quad to give us the key just made us smile, and to be honest his warm & friendly nature kept us smiling throughout our small break..!! Loved every second of our trip & would love to come back

The Folly was by far the best accommodation we have stayed in.

A magical place for our honeymoon. The pictures do not do it justice. We will be back

The cottage was immaculate and everything you could think of was provided.

We had a lovely honeymoon and have already booked to go back again. The hottub was awesome overlooking the fields and cows. Highly recommend.

This is the most beautiful cottage.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and relaxing. Great place to recharge the batteries. Owner was friendly and helpful. We will highly recommend a stay here and hope to go back.

This cottage is lovely and the owners couldn't be friendly enough, i would defiantly stay here again just not as long but loved seeing the cows every day, the cottage was clean, cleaning stuff was provided, and generally everything you need to cook!

its very secluded and generally we didn't leave the cottage / hot tub and it was fabulous!! lovely place, nothing around and that's what we were looking for, only thing i will say is if you dont like spiders you'll either have heart attack or get over your fears

This Gem is well worth a visit, quiet relaxing and just what we needed, a ruin lovingly restored.

Well done Steve xx

Beautiful place, incredibly peaceful, we'll definitely visit again.

The Shooting Folly is a brilliantly unique holiday bolthole.

The owner is very friendly and incredibly helpful. This was, without doubt, the best holiday home we've enjoyed. The only thing we would have changed would have been to stay for longer!! Simply wonderful!!

Very enjoyable stay, very peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful scenery lovely walks. This really was a hideaway

The Fooy is just perfect.

Super location and so well set up.

What a lovely place did not want to leave .

Definitely be going back

Lovely place to relax and unwind.

Such an amazing location.

.. Nice and peaceful, didn't even see another human unless we ventured into Market Drayton... The fire was so nice in the snug, made it so cozy... Hot tub was clean and well maintained, lovely way to spend the evenings... Highly recommend

The Shooting Folly is a magical place.

Stunning location.The snug is really cosy on an evening with the woodburning stove.The honesty bar with a selection of your" favourite tipple",and lovely bottles of wine and champagne was a lovely touch but we had brought a good supply of our own.

A stunning property.

Beautifully restored. Superb location. The hot tub under a sky full of stars was amazing. Highly recommended for a perfect getaway from it all.

Really beautiful restored cottage, excellent facilities.

Lovely, helpful owners. Peaceful, relaxing, completely private except for a few cows and great location for walking. They had thought of everything and more, plus little extras. It was far better than we'd expected, we had a great time and want to thank Steve and Tracey for such a great holiday and for their hospitality. Thank you Helen & Dave Wirral

Such an amazing place to stay.

If you like cozy, warm and secluded this is the place to go. One of the nicest places I've stayed.

Hideaways provided up to date information on travel etc.

as the break got closer. Easy to use website. The accommodation and host were perfect in every way! A wonderful, tranquil break following our marriage. The folly is cosy, clean and very well equipped. The hot tub a welcome luxury after a day exploring on our bikes. We will definitely be returning for our anniversary.

Everything about the Folly is magical.

Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic restored cottage, great attention to detail.

The location is stunning with the added bonus of the Hot Tub. One of the best we have visited.

We came here for a few days after our wedding for a "mini-moon".

It was ridiculously cute, peaceful, and luxurious. The owners were friendly and popped in to see us and to check on the tub, but mostly they let us get on with it, which was great. It is a lovely quirky cottage - tiny but perfect for two. Just be careful not to bang your head on the low beams upstairs! Everything you could possibly need was catered for: the kitchen was brilliantly stocked with equipment, there were brollies, blankets, films... and of course the hot tub! It was so cosy and tranquil. It's really in the middle of nowhere with cows for company and fields all around. Recommend bringing plenty of food supplies - we got a breakfast hamper provided by the owners which was filled with goodies (although a little on the pricey side). There are some lovely walks in the local area too. I couldn't recommend it enough! We will be back. :-)

This is a beautifully restored building set in the middle of nowhere.

Excellent kitchen facilities meant we had no need to leave! The snug with wood burner made for a cosy room. The hot tub offered great views in the day and lights at night. A great place for a romantic break and to recharge the batteries!

Guest's review on TripAdvisor, 08 July 2017.

5 of 5 stars.

Well what can I say.

..this place is like no other... we had such a lovely time and in the area in general but its the folly that`s the star of the show. Its everything and more that the brochure describes... cosy ,quaint, beautiful well equipped. The hot tub is to die for. If you live in the city you will never hear perfect quiet... you will here. We have re-booked to come back in September '17 and will probably come back again after that.

My wife and I visited The Shooting Folly hoping for a tranquil break and it didn't fail to deliver!

With beautiful country views and dozens of lovely walks on the doorstep it was just what we needed and, after a long walk, the hot tub was most welcome! The property has been amazingly restored to a very high standard. We certainly intend to return.

We loved staying here.

It is conveniently and thoughtfully laid out. We were able to make meals, relax in comfort, sit outside, sleep well. And it is well away from the noise and hubbub of our usual life. Many thanks.

Perfect setting.

Great that there is no Wifi - no distractions from the outside world. Sorry to leave the peace and quiet - would love to come back.

We needed to get away and disconnect.

The Shooting Folly was a perfect place for this. Peace and quiet all around us, a wood burning stove and a hot tub! Who could ask for more?!? The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of areas to hike. We had such a wonderful time we're already planning another visit.

We stayed here for Easter and really didn't want to leave.

The thought that has gone into every part of the Folly is evident everywhere. Small but perfectly formed, everything has been thought of. It is comfortable, well equipped and the perfect place to get away from it all. The addition of the hot tub is excellent and a perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet. If you want somewhere that is quirky, comfortable and the perfect escape, then you don't need to look any further than here. We will definitely be returning.

Just wanted to say thank you.

The Shooting Folly was as beautiful as it looked. It was perfect for a lovely few days of peace and quiet. The owner was lovely and everything was as it looked from your description....and more. We had a lovely time and will hopefully book with you again at some point in the future. Just wanted to thank you for your help in sorting this out for me at very short notice. Really appreciate it.

Had a wonderful 4 days at the Folly - we found it to have everything we needed, the snug was perfect on a cold winter evening (and the underfloor heating meant the wood burner was a treat rather than a necessity and feet stayed warm even without slippers!

) We found lots to do in the surrounding area (car needed though), the owners were very friendly and welcoming, and the farm tour was a real treat. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Perfect way to spend our long weekend and celebrate our engagement.

A relaxing peaceful location.

It has rekindled our hobbies of sketching and writing. Beautiful countryside, beautiful folly.

We have just spent a long weekend at The Shooting Folly in Shropshire.

I just wanted to say how lovely the property is - warm and cosy and very, very cute. The owners made us feel very welcome (fresh eggs in a basket) and even popped in to turn up the heating when we were out! Highly recommended and an excellent addition to your properties.

We have just returned from a surprise 50th birthday treat my husband booked for me.

I have to say I am very impressed, he could not have found a more perfect place to have a chill out weekend to celebrate. The cottage is delightful with glorious views from all sides. It iss fully equipped for your every need but the icing on the cake has to be the hot tub. We were lucky enough on the 1st night to have clear skies and a full moon, we soaked away for hours enjoying the pure peace and quiet with a bottle of red.......heaven !!!!!!! The cottage has been very tastefully restored and decorated and Steve was just across the field if we needed anything. I would like to say I would NOT like to recommend The Shooting Folly to anybody but purely for selfish reasons, I would love to keep this little gem to myself so we could book whenever we wanted to go but that would be selfish. Everyone should get to sample this little corner of paradise.
