Enjoying uninterrupted views over parkland towards the River Severn and Wrekin Hill, Cronkhill Farmhouse occupies a delightful, elevated position on the National Trust’s Attingham Park Estate.
This spacious, timber framed farmhouse is located within picturesque grounds including a sun trapped walled garden, fruit trees and brick apple store. Dating from the 17th century and Grade I listed, it was remodelled by John Nash, the famous Regency architect, to match the adjoining property (also National Trust and open six days a year). Cronkhill Farmhouse retains many period details, including beamed ceilings, quarry-tiled floors and an open fireplace. Providing spacious living accommodation, a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen and a large dining and entertaining space, it can sleep up to fourteen guests. The property is especially popular with families and groups of friends.
Its idyllic situation combines a very convenient location, close to the bustling town of Shrewsbury and the prettiest villages of Shropshire. A local post office, shop and country pub are all within ½ mile of Cronkhill. The National Trust’s Attingham Park is just 1 mile away, at the centre of which is a fine Regency mansion set within a deer park designed by Humphrey Repton. There is extensive year round walking to be enjoyed here.
This is an excellent central base from which to explore Shropshire. Shrewsbury lies 3 miles to the north, with its fine period architecture, cinemas, restaurants, and excellent shopping; to the south are the spectacular Shropshire Hills. In its medieval castle setting, Ludlow provides a food paradise with restaurants and artisan shops galore. Eight miles to the east is the World Heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge and its many museums. Three ruined abbeys and the remains of the ancient Roman city of Wroxeter are all within a 20-minute drive.
The custodian of Cronkhill Farmhouse is Rupert Acton who manages The Shooting Lodge, sleeps 11 (ref RNP) located at Acton Scott a 30-minute drive to the south.
Free WiFi

The Farmhouse adjoins the National Trust property `Cronkhill`, which is open 6 days a year. For dates of these open days, please see the National Trust Website.

Fabulous large, authentic farmhouse
Cronkhill is in a beautiful location, very well situated for exploring the fabulous Shropshire Hills and nearby Attingham Park. Cronkhill is a substantial house with a genuine farmhouse feel. It has a well stocked kitchen and the dining room easily seats 12-14 people. The lounge is spacious and the log fire is excellent (the chimney draws well and the fire gets going quickly). There is never ending, very hot water and the showers are good, if not that up to date to look at. Being a traditional property the bathrooms are all upstairs, but 3 bathrooms were fine for 14 people. Beds are comfy, with 4 bedrooms having a stunning views of The Wrekin. There was a good stock of garden furniture and a moderate sized BBQ outside, with lighting to allow you to sit out later into the evening. The night sky was fabulous!! We also parked 7 cars with ease. It is not swanky or super modern and could benefit from a second fridge and maybe plusher towels but I would definitely recommend it as a great "find"

A nice holiday cottage, plenty of space for the 10 of us.
A nice holiday cottage, plenty of space for the 10 of us. The sofas could do with an upgrade which has also been mentioned by another guest. One of them had barely any Padding on the seat. It would also have been nice to have a toilet downstairs but that’s just our preference. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The house was perfect for our family to meet up, with plenty of room.
The house was perfect for our family to meet up, with plenty of room..the beautiful weather meant that we were outside most of the time, and could eat supper in the garden every night. We never found the second barbecue, so some food had to be cooked in the kitchen. The only thing We all felt the lack of was a downstairs loo, otherwise it was great for five adults and Six children Thank you Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a characterful and spacious farmhouse, suitable for a large family gathering.
This is a characterful and spacious farmhouse, suitable for a large family gathering. In a rural spot but close to Shrewsbury. The house is charming with a beautiful garden area. A few family members said their beds needed updating, and one room had a window with no curtains which made sleeping difficult. Comfortable sitting room and big dining table for everyone to eat/ play games. There’s a nice big kitchen, but a new set of pans would be helpful, and the scales were missing. No downstairs toilet which may prove tricky for some visitors. Overall we had an enjoyable stay, and would recommend the house. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
