This BnB stands in a spectacular position overlooking one of the few Grade 1 landscapes in the country. This is Hawkstone Park, becoming famous for its follies and magical walks.
Sylvia and her husband Beverley, enjoy sharing their much loved home, which has wonderful views from every window, and hope guests will have time to stroll round the large garden, whose paths meander around and over a sandstone outcrop. Round every bend is something to catch the eye, a Victorian grotto, a shady glade full of acers and even a walled potager. Pause awhile in the thatched summerhouse, to look across the Shropshire plain to the Welsh hills in the distance.
Constructed in local salmon-red sandstone, it is ingeniously designed in the form of three interlinked towers, set to the points of an isosceles triangle, and the crenellations and cross-loops give the house more than a touch of history and romance. Another imaginative feature is the deep apron terrace of cobbles at the front of the house, framed by a sandstone retaining wall with bastions at each corner. |
