Description:
Beautifully converted 2-bedroom cottage in Shropshire
This beautifully converted 2-bedroom cottage was originally an old stone cow byre. Swallows Cottage opened in 2016 and offers quality, comfortable self-catering accommodation for your stay in this largely undiscovered area of England.
Situated next door to our home, this two-bedroom cottage accommodates four people and provides private parking for up to two cars, along with a pretty outdoor seating area.
An oak front door leads to the large entrance hall, providing plenty of room for coats and boots.
The comfortably furnished sitting room has two leather sofas, perfect for a relaxing evening watching the wall-mounted Smart TV. WiFi will enable you to keep up with the outside world and stay in touch with family and friends.
The cottage has very efficient electric radiators with thermostat controls, and there is also an electric fire for those extra chilly winter evenings.
The modern, well-equipped kitchen provides all you need to prepare a snack or a full meal:
- Electric oven and halogen hob
- Microwave
- Coffee machine
- Kettle
- Dishwasher
- Washing machine
- Fridge freezer
The dining area with an oak table comfortably seats four people.
To welcome you to the cottage, we provide fresh milk, tea, coffee, and sugar.
Downstairs there is a spacious shower room with a large shower enclosure, WC, and vanity unit with wash hand basin.
From the entrance hall, stairs lead to a mezzanine landing with a glass balcony overlooking the entrance hall, an attractive feature of the cottage.
At one end of the landing is a double bedroom with a king-sized bed, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers. At the other end of the landing is the twin-bedded room with two full-size single beds, a wardrobe, and a chest of drawers.
Also accessed from the landing is a small cloakroom with WC and vanity wash hand basin.
All bed linen and towels are provided for your stay.
Outside, there is off-road parking available for two cars in our gravelled driveway.
Cycling is very popular in the area, and we can offer secure, undercover space for your bicycles if required.
The terrace, with table and chairs, provides an opportunity to enjoy sitting outside with a coffee or a glass of wine, where you can watch the numerous birds that visit our garden, including the summer-visiting swallows for whom the cottage is named. If you have made a trip to our excellent butcher in Much Wenlock, a barbecue is available to cook your purchases (charcoal and firelighters provided).
The cottage is not suitable for children under 10 or pets.

Guest review
- Review from...: Owner website... We loved staying in Swallows Cottage in Harley and enjoyed a very special week there. It is a beautiful, extremely stylish and well equipped cottage, in a lovely quiet village setting. It was really nice to meet the owners of the cottage who live next door. They were so welcoming and helpful. This was our first visit to Shropshire and this cottage provides easy access to many parts of the county. We managed to travel on public transport to Much Wenlock, Shrewsbury, Ludlow and Bridgnorth. We also drove to Iron Bridge and the David Austin Rose Garden Centre at Albrighton. We will be highly recommending this cottage to all our family and friends. — Jan and Barrie, 17 Jun 2023
