About this property

SHIRLEYWICH HOLIDAY BARNS, EQUESTRIAN AND DOG FRIENDLY, SLEEPS 2-4, detached

We are pleased to offer for holiday rental our first complete fully restored barn


THE SMITHY,

Dating back to 1604 , history buffs can research the property and see the local sign at the rear of the site by the canal, which tells of the life of shirleywich farm over its many decades,

our beautiful complex is nested in a conservation area and consists of a large double fronted Georgian farm house, 5 beautiful barn conversions, set in 17.5 acres of our own private land which runs to the Trent and mersey canal at the rear, and with ample, epic safe riding and hacking galore, our spot has many attractions, for anyone who wants to bring a horse or 2, with grazing and stabling available, pets are welcome as we are a farm with horses and dogs of our own.
you are welcome to bring fishing, bikes, canoes etc,,, to take advantage of the spot and the canal at the rear, or a short trip to the river Trent down the wonderful private Trent drive which leads to ingestre and one of the worlds top riding stables, a short walk further brings you to the ingestre golf club, and then off onto the delights of shugborough hall, and Cannock chase, national heritage forest.

Ideal for walkers, bikers, riders, or anyone who wants a break away in the beautiful English countryside, we are surrounded with fields, and countryside so you will not be disserpointed, excellent road connections to many neighbouring towns and heres just a few of the local attractions listed below, so if you are wanting a break away to relax or an adrenaline fun filled adventure holiday theres plenty to fill your boots with, from fine dining and spas, to zip wires and hardcore mountain bike trails, horse riding to hot air balloons, narrowboat trips to family days out, you will not be board unless you decide to, and appreciate the calm tranquility of our unique complex.

We cater for all occasions, and let for 2 3 4 or can arrange weekly lets for longer periods as we are located to many areas we cater for working away professionals who do not wish to stay in bnb's or hotels, we also cater for larger groups split between our 2 barn conversions both detached and this can allow us to hold a group/party of 6-8 and 2-4 with sofa bed options, hosting 3 large bedrooms in The Stables and our studio barn the smithy one bedroom and sofa bed.

Enjoyable stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Smithy. The location was great & we had fun taking our 1 year old son to Trentham Monkey Forest & Amerton Farm. The only real disadvantage was that all the kitchen cupboards were low down & our son loved to play with them & their contents! But aside from having to keep a close eye on our son, the accommodation fitted our needs & we'd consider coming again next year

Lovely stay!
We had a great stay in The Smithy. The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. Rachael and family were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Our 1 year old loved feeding the horses and the pony too.

Luxury countryside pad
A tastefully, stylish property in countryside surroundings. Exceptionally well-run by Rachael and her husband, who are extremely helpful and accommodating. We found this property as needed somewhere close to family but we would definitely return for a getaway. Location pros - picturesque canalside walks, local pubs and amazing local farm shop. Highly recommend.
