The small rural village of Alberbury sits in pretty countryside, 9 miles from Shrewsbury. There is so much to do in this area, from the ten museums of Ironbridge Gorge to the abbey, castle, shops and restaurants of Shreswbury. There are many National Trust properties within easy reach of Alberbury, including Attingham Park, Powis Castle, Chirk Castle and Erddig. Ludlow, with its castle and timbered buildings, is a lovely town for a stroll and a refreshing cream tea, or step back in time with a trip to Acton Scott Working Farm, seen on TV as ‘The Victorian Farm’.

  • Anne

    We really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub, and there was plenty of space for adults and children to play and socialise. The play barn was brilliant, as it covered all the ages of the children, (ranging from 20 months to 12 years). They loved going each morning to collect the eggs from the chicken coop. The adults enjoyed a badminton competition in the large barn too! I would highly recommend this place to large groups. Asda deliver there too, so food delivery was easy.

  • Kelly
