Originally an 18th-century multi-purpose garden building, this lovely getaway is located within a 1000-acre estate on the border of Shropshire and Staffordshire. It boasts some great features, such as an orangery, ideal for enjoying your morning cups of tea, as well as an open fireplace for those colder evenings. Being on an estate with regular events throughout the year may mean you're lacking a bit of privacy, but on the flip side, you get to enjoy the beautiful parkland, on-site brasserie, children's adventure playground, and miniature railway.
