Swallows Cottage
We look forward to welcoming you to Swallows Cottage, situated in the small village of Harley close to Much Wenlock and surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire Hills. A place to relax, unwind and listen to the sounds of the countryside.
Lovingly converted from 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 2 bedroom cottage offers space for 4 people, private parking for up to 2 cars together with a pretty outdoor seated area.
The area is perfect for walking with paths leading you to breathtaking views across the hills or more gentle strolls by the River Severn. If history is your passion, the area offers Roman archaeology, castles, churches and plenty of National Trust and English Heritage sites to explore. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Ironbridge is a short drive away with its five museums together with the iconic bridge itself.
There are many opportunities to try local produce in shops, markets, restaurants and pubs in Much Wenlock and nearby Shrewsbury.

Swallows Cottage is just 5 miles from the Ironbridge Gorge which is now looked after by the National Trust.
The museums including Blists Hill Victorian Village are opening in 2026.
Ironbridge Gorge is widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial revolution, which paved the way for the scientific and technological innovation that defines our world today. The site is an example of British ingenuity, a source of immense national and community pride and a distinct and much-loved icon of our shared heritage. I cannot think of something more at home in the National Trust's care - an institution built to protect and preserve the things our nation loves on behalf of everyone, everywhere.
