Welcome to The Walkmill
SHORTLISTED FOR SELF-CATERING HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR 2010!
Luxury self-catering cottages set in rural Shropshire
Walkmill House with Red Roses Around The Door
The Walkmill is owned by Gilly and Brian Bachelor who purchased the site in September 2006. The Walkmill comprises three detached cottages – Stone Cottage, Walkmill House and Walkmill Lodge all with private gardens and patios and set in four acres of beautiful Shropshire countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with views of the Long Mynd and The Stiperstones and only 8 miles from Wales.
It took Gilly and Brian over two years to enhance the site and they were delighted to re-open The Walkmill to guests during Christmas 2008. Walkmill House is a spacious traditional stone built cottage with two bedrooms and bathrooms. Walkmill Lodge started life as a farm outbuilding and was converted to an artist’s studio in the late 1980’s. It has recently been extended and converted to a fabulous two bedroom and two bathroom cottage, all based on one level, sleeping 4 guests. These cottages can be booked through English Country Cottages.
Gilly and Brian now live in Stone Cottage with their Westie ‘Lucky’, their puppy working Cocker Spaniel ‘Lily’, their six hens Elvee, Harriet, Maisey, Dotty, Jennifer, May-Belle and Billy the Cockeral.
