The Soulton Estate Cottages
There are three peaceful cottages on the Soulton Estate.
Each of the cottages has its own garden and a well-equipped fitted kitchen (dishwasher, fridge freezer, microwave etc) for self catering, but guests are very welcome to take their meals at Soulton Hall, allowing for a very flexible approach to your stay at Soulton.
The Keeper's Cottage
The Keeper's Cottage (pictured below) is an enchanting cottage tucked away in the south facing corner of Soulton Wood and enjoying a open country aspect. Accessed off half a mile of private lane which passes Soulton Brook and winds through Soulton Wood.
The stone core of the cottage dates from the 1500s, but benefits from brick and timber extensions. From the sitting/dining room - which opens onto the private garden - with its open fire, guests can observe the plentiful wildlife and the total quiet of this secluded location.
While the cottage is big enough to accommodate six (two double rooms and a twin room), it is equally perfect for a couple seeking a total escape in a romantically secluded location.
This cottage is particularly magical in bluebell time (April into May) and the Autumn 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' when the woodland leaves are golden and scarlet.
The Herdsman's Cottage
The Herdsman's Cottage (pictured below) is a semi-detached Victorian cottage dating from 1899. It has its own large gardens with fruit trees, lawn and flower beds. The cottage is approached through this garden and there is ample parking close to the house. It is set in the unspoilt Shropshire countryside, with fine views towards both Soulton Brook and Hawkstone Hill. Original features include quarry tile floors. The comfortable sitting room has an open fire place. There is a generous kitchen/dining room. The front door opens on to its own small, very sheltered south facing front garden - a real sun trap.
Accommodation is in three bedrooms: one double, and two single.
The Ploughman's Cottage
This cottage (pictured beow) is the sister cottage to Herdsman's. Equally charming, and with the same ground floor plan (though individual), it too has a double room as two single rooms.
Ploughman's and Herdsman's Cottages Together
While these cottage are delightful on their own, it is possible to take both cottages together: ideal for two groups or families 'holidaying' together.
