The Workhouse Retreat | Stunning UK Hot Tub Break

About The Workhouse Retreat

Hidden away down a country track, this beautifully finished stable conversion is perfect for couples looking for a romantic rural retreat. Bordering the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, midway between the quaint towns of Ludlow (11 miles) and Bridgnorth (12 miles), it s also a perfect location for getting out and about and exploring the delights of this stunning county, whether that be by foot, bike, or car.

Pick up the public footpath from the bottom of the garden, including the Jack Mytton Way which travels nearly 100 miles through Shropshire s most beautiful and unspoilt countryside, including Titterstone Clee Hill and Silvington Ridge. In nearby Kidderminster, enjoy a nostalgic and picturesque steam train journey at The Severn Valley Railway (15 miles), explore National Trust s Kinver Edge and the Rock House (19.5 miles) or spend a full day visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge (21 miles), or the West Midlands Safari Park (15 miles).

The historic wedding venue of Hopton Court Estate is also less than 4 miles away. This single storey stable conversion, which once formed part of a historic workhouse, has been renovated to the very highest of standards, with every part of your stay carefully considered and curated to perfection.

You enter a colourful modern kitchen and dining space which has been fully equipped to ensure you can rustle up a romantic meal for two. To the right of the kitchen is where you'll find the shower room and WC, complete with beautifully smelling toiletries.

Moving back through the kitchen into the living and sleeping space, you will appreciate stylish interiors, aesthetically pleasing finishes, and quality linens. A large sofa and statement reading chair offer comfortable spaces for you to relax on those lazy afternoons, choosing from the selection of books or switching on the Smart TV.

Beautiful, cottage really modern with up to date features. Hot tub was an added bonus as for the first time I have been able to get in and out because it was exactly the right height. We would highly recommend this property and its owners.
