Town: The attractive market town of Bishop's Castle is situated in the Outstanding Natural Beauty of the South West Shropshire Hills. The ancient town offers a weekly market and an excellent variety of shops, pubs and places to eat. It is famous for its annual Real Ale Festival and regular fairs, with the Michaelmas Fair being particularly popular.

5/5 Excellent

Anne I.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Comfortable well-equipped family house
The house and surgery were exactly as described: there's lots of room, comfortable sitting room, big kitchen, good utility room, big garden. Bishops Castle is a most attractive small town with interesting buildings and shops. It has a surprisingly good bus service with a stop just outside the house.

5/5 Excellent

Andy D.

Beautiful, roomy, multi-family escape.
We spent a lovely weekend catching up with old friends and this was the perfect venue. Plenty of space inside and out, allowing the kids to explore and play to their hearts content. Fantastically appointed to enable large groups to easily keep themselves fed and watered with minimal fuss. Highly recommend.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2017
