Welcome to Middle Farm and Cottages, a family run small farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Shropshire Hills. This special, tucked away smallholding is also home to three Gold Award holiday cottages, rare breed British Lop pigs, critically endangered Soay sheep, Aylesbury ducks, a mix of chickens, Max the cat and free to pick, home-grown veg.
Only a few miles away from Church Stretton you can watch wild ponies graze on the Long Mynd, soak up the spectacular views from the Shropshire Hills, or just walk the 1/2 mile to our local, much loved pub The Bottle & Glass, with open fires and home-cooked food (take away too). As we live on the farm we'll be here to help you find the very best places to walk your dogs, ride your bikes, fly your kites or simply discover this spectacular county.

One of the loveliest things I was told in the decade of running Middle Farm, was how a couple had enjoyed properly talking with one another again, listening to the noises of the countryside, walking and breathing in the cleaner air. The mobile didn't ping constantly with notifications, they could get messages on their terms and not the instant it was sent.
All three cottages have been beautifully refurbished to an excellent standard, providing Gold Award, luxury four star self catering accommodation. These traditional buildings date back as far as the 16th century and each of them is entirely self contained. They can be booked and enjoyed by couples, friends or families individually or as a group booking.
Daisy's Place is a beautiful dog friendly cottage for up to two guests, perfect for couples wanting a tranquil break away. It was converted from a spacious old stone building and has been superbly furnished.
The ground floor has an open plan living area with an excellently equipped kitchen (electric cooker, microwave, fridge, dishwasher and mini freezer), a sitting room with a new and very comfortable double sofa and armchair, flat screen smart TV (so you can login to your own Netflix etc) and DVD, as well as a spacious dining area.

Whether you're cooking or just enjoying a refreshment there are several areas at Middle Farm designed to offer the perfect retreat outside. An elderly byre that makes up part of the Middle Farm courtyard has been carefully converted to house a log burning barbecue and free standing barbecue. This area is undercover so perfect for the rainy days with a beautiful, adjacent shared patio surrounded by mature honeysuckle and roses.
Having fallen in love with the British Lop pig we started breeding in 2012. These pigs have an excellent life, with access to shelter inside a huge cattle shed lined with straw and approximately two acres of ground for rooting around in. All our pigs are slow grown, lovingly reared and benefit from a regular supply of grass cuttings, garden leftovers and supermarket fruit and veg - as well as conventional pig food of course.

This is an excellent place to stay for a base, or a peaceful retreat or, even for young families. The accomodation is excellent. There is a great play barn with balls, table tennis, trampoline and a sand pit with some creative ideas for further development.
The added extras make this an easy stay too with a place to do laundry (soaps inc.), teas/coffees and even a cake, BBQ sites and animals to see too.
Brilliant place and such a friendly welcome.
