A place to disappear and let the world fall away
There are places you visit, and places that alter your pace almost as soon as you arrive.
Set deep within the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, Birchope is surrounded by open countryside, ancient tracks, big skies and an extraordinary sense of space. The landscape is not something you simply look at here; it becomes part of the rhythm of the day.
You wake to it, walk straight into it, watch the weather travel across it and, as darkness falls, discover just how dark the countryside can really be.
Days seem to stretch a little further here, measured less by the clock than by the changing light and the landscape around you. It is a place that asks very little of you, other than to slow down enough to notice it.
The Old Milking Shed, and The Skyloft are two completely self-contained places to stay, each with its own identity and private outdoor space
Both have been created to feel considered rather than contrived: beautiful interiors, exceptional comfort and a very strong connection to the landscape outside.
The Old Milking Shed boasts an extraordinary copper bath that sits outside beneath the open sky, large enough to sink into together and positioned to take in the uninterrupted views across the hills.
Fill it with steaming water, climb in and stay there as daylight fades and the stars begin to appear.
The Skyloft is all about the sky, with its extraordinary gable window framing the landscape beyond. Settle in and watch the weather roll through, the light shift across the hills and the sky change by the hour.
Birchope offers the kind of luxury that feels increasingly rare: privacy, quiet, beauty, comfort and time. There is no pressure to ‘do’ anything.
Walk for hours, find a tiny pub, explore a market town, sit beneath a huge sky...
...or stay exactly where you are.
Seclusion without compromise. Luxury without formality.
The Old Milking Shed
A beautifully converted two-bedroom retreat, full of warmth, character and quiet luxury.
Once a working milking shed, now beautifully converted for up to four, with uninterrupted views, a wood-burning stove and its extraordinary outdoor William Holland bath.
The Skyloft
Light-filled and elevated above the landscape,
at The Skyloft the sky is always the star.
Designed for two, with an elevated living space,
Juliette balcony and far-reaching views across the Shropshire Hills.
