Is Robins Nest Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

Robins Nest is designed as a romantic couples retreat rather than a family property. The hut sleeps only two in a double bed with no additional sleeping space. However, children who enjoy farm life would love meeting the cows and exploring the working farm. The stream and outdoor space offer natural play opportunities. The separate shower building and open-plan layout may not suit families with young children.

For Couples

This is a perfect romantic escape for two. The wood burner creates cosy evenings while the streamside location provides natural peace and privacy. Watch sunsets from your private deck with a glass of wine. The double bed faces the TV for relaxed mornings. Cook together in the compact kitchen or fire up the charcoal BBQ. Walk hand-in-hand through the farm at dusk. The separate shower building adds a touch of adventure to your stay.

Pet Friendly

One dog is welcome at Robins Nest. Your pet will love the farm setting with plenty of outdoor space to explore. The secure shed can store leads and walking equipment. The deck provides a great spot for your dog to relax beside you. Nearby walks include the Shropshire Hills and River Severn paths. The open-plan hut layout means your dog stays close throughout your stay. Remember to arrange farm access with owner Kelly beforehand.
