The Dairy, Shropshire
Guests arrive at The Dairy in the remote village of Leighton, Shropshire, to find a home-baked farmhouse cake on the kitchen table. It’s the perfect start to a beautiful holiday in a welcoming countryside cottage located on a working 100-acre cattle farm.
One of a group of lovely brick barn conversions situated close to the owner’s delightful black-and-white farmhouse, this semi-detached romantic cottage greets couples in a cosy, comfortable atmosphere. The open-plan living area includes a fully outfitted kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a log-effect electric stove and a TV. The double bedroom has an en-suite shower, and the adjoining utility shed includes a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The farm offers views of Long Mountain and majestic Wrekin Hill and opens up to miles of the lovely countryside for long romantic walks that allow couples to discover the beauty of Shropshire. The historic village of Leighton, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1087, offers the Kynnersley Arms pub and St. Mary’s Church, which dates to the early 18th century.
Just a few miles away sits the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, home to the world’s first iron-built bridge, and the Ironbridge Gorge is one of the UK’s most delightful tourist attractions. Nearby medieval towns of Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury and Ludlow provide unique day trip opportunities.

Fantastic time in Shropshire
Accommodation was excellant and a warm welcome from the owners. Cottage was ideally situated for Ironbridge and it's museums and also Ludlow and Shrewsbury. Would certainly recommend The Dairy cottage.
Peaceful Scenic and nice people
Finding this place was the only initial problem, but it was worth it. Very close to Ironbridge gorge museums. Very friendly owners.
Idyllic little cottage in beautiful area
We stayed here in late January for 10 days as we had to be in the area for family and did not fancy the time in a hotel (or the cost).
We followed the directions from the website to the letter and found the farm straight away and were greated by Derek and Molly the Collie.
The cottage was all ready for us and warm and we had a lovely homemade cake awaiting our arrival.
All the utensils required were in the kitchen and the on site laundry facility proved so useful too.
The area is central to not only the ironbridge gorge museums but also the shopping areas of Telford and Shrewsbury a little further away.
The Wrekinis a short drive away for walking and the lanes are relatively quiet too.
All I all we wiould highly recommend the dairy
Peace, TRanquil and Cosy
Fantastic
So impressed with the place and central to Gloucester, cirencester, cheltenham would definitely recommend to friends.
The peace and quiet!
Nice comfortable little place. Enjoyed our stay.
The cottage was really cosy and lovely to return to at the end of the day. Also the cottage was ideally positioned to explore all of Shropshire.
The excellent standard of the cottage; it was all we expected and more. We had a perfect week.
Proximity to Iron Gorge, the museums and also other places of interest including National Trust and English Heritage properties.
The friendliness of owners very helpful and lovely scenery.
The cottage was ideally situated for us and very peaceful. The owner made us feel very welcome when we arrived. I would thoroughly recommend The Dairy to others.
The area was peaceful and had some great walks nearby. The cottage was of a very good standard and the owner was very friendly and helpful.
I particularly liked the environment on a working farm. The cottage was very comfortable and the owners were very pleasant, we hope to return next year.
Peaceful property in an excellent location. Friendly owner and the cottage was very nice with just the right facilities for two.
Lovely area and cottage. Peaceful. Nice walks. Interesting things to do for all family.
A very quiet, out of the way place. A good chill-out break.
A quiet location with splendid views and a lovely area to explore. The owners of the property were extremely friendly and helpful.
The setting was beautiful, and could not have picked a better location to tour the area. The barn conversion was extremely well done and deceptively spacious.
The area was fantastic and very peaceful. We absolutely loved the area, and there was a lot to see and do. There was nothing not to like about our holiday.
The Dairy was perfect for the two of us. Just the right size and had everything we needed for our stay. The surrounding area is lovely, can't wait to see it again in the summer months. The owner was very helpful and accommodating and considering it was a working farm there was no disturbance from the daily activities.
The cottage and location were 5 Star. Very tranquil- would like to return again in the Spring.
The Dairy was a perfect place to stay. It had everything you needed to make use of and was very cosy. We had a very warm welcome from the owners. It was a really good base to see and do all the lovely local attractions. A week wasn't long enough!
Very friendly hosts. Hosts were there if needed. Quiet and remote cottage with lovely scenery and everything you could wish for in a holiday cottage.
