Edward & Sally JonesWelcome to Castle Farm Bed & Breakfast
Cheney Longville, Shropshire
When you stay at Castle Farm bed and breakfast, you share with Edward, Sally and their young family the experience of staying on a family friendly, modern working farm in a truly historical setting.
Castle Farm is a mixed livestock and arable farm, located in the historic village of Cheney Longville, set in the beautiful south Shropshire hills between Church Stretton and Craven Arms. A perfect mixture of ancient and modern.
The farmhouse is set around a courtyard which forms part of a fortified manor house with many original features, parts of which date from 13th century. You can make yourselves at home in our comfortable spacious bedrooms, unwind in the guest lounge or find your own space within our large gardens in which to appreciate the age and beauty of these unique surroundings.
We are well situated for exploring all of the area know as The Welsh Marches. With excellent walking straight from the doorstep, you can leave the car behind.
We can help you plan your route or you can browse through our large selection of guides and leaflets, available on request. There are plenty of places to visit from gardens, castles, museums and heritage sites to shops, for a spot of retail therapy.
Wireless broadband internet access is available throughout the farmhouse.
Enjoy a full "farmers" breakfast to set you up for the day, which includes locally produced sausage, bacon, black pudding and eggs. Sample Sally's homemade jams and marmalades to finish off.
You may decide to take a picnic with you or arrange a home cooked meal to come back to. All freshly prepared by Sally.
We also offer:
- Secure parking within the cobbled courtyard
- Secure area for bicycles and outdoor gear
- The use of our patio and large gardens
Due to the age and nature of the property, you should note that it may not be suitable for wheelchair users. Please feel free to discuss your particular requirements with us and we can advise you accordingly.
The bedrooms are both on the first floor with the Rose Room having additional steps to it. The stairs are carpeted, wide and not steep.
Castle Farm is a working farm and therefore guests are not permitted within the farm buildings without a guide. There is a public footpath that runs through the farm.
Farm news
Winter - 2011
As the nights draw in so we get ready to house the cattle over winter. Shorter days mean time spent on feeding and making them comfortable.
December is here and we look forward to Christmas on the farm, no holidays for the farmer he has to work every day. But beautiful wintery scenery help the jobs along.
Winter jobs on the farm .
With the cattle in for the winter the outside jobs continue. We are already preparing for the spring with hedging and fencing being done so the fields are ready for the turn out.
The weather having been particularly kind during November means that we have plenty of grass. The sheep are out on the hills still and there they will stay until lambing. With Ed taking extra rations out to them every day.
