The surrounding scenery was amazing and peaceful with birds flying all around the B&B, the forest backdrop was an amazing view to relax to and behold, and finally the ambient noise of the farm and lack of noise pollution was amazing.

Middle Woodbatch Farm is located 5 minutes from the quaint market town of Bishops Castle. We are a working family run farm in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The farmhouse was built in the early 1700s & was restored 10 years ago, retaining many original features. We have 2 en-suit b&b rooms and have also added a glamping pod. IF you have problems with stairs, maybe we are not suitable for you as both our guest rooms are upstairs. Both b & b rooms have spacious tiled en-suit facilities & hairdryer. Both rooms have a kettle & a selection of tea/coffee/hot chocolate & bottle water, biscuits etc. Guests have a fridge/ freezer to use, located in guest lounge. Guests have use of the garden with a BBQ & trampoline for the kids. If you would like to know anything about the farm or have a tour round, please ask and this can be arranged. We ask guests to make themselves at home & if there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please do not be afraid to ask.
We have been running the b & b since 2007. We both enjoy the countryside, my husband Steve has been here all his life & the farm has been in the same family since the 1930s. I moved to Shropshire over 30 years ago from Surrey, after traveling & living abroad in Yemen. We have 2 children, who help around the farm & with our guests. Our interests are the countryside, walking, wildlife, swimming, horse riding, cooking & travel.
Our rural location offers lots for our guests. Peace & quiet, & wonderful views, lots of wildlife to watch, Walkers, cyclists & horse riders will find lots of signed paths to explore. Bishops Castle is only 5 minutes by car or 30 minutes walk, with 6 pubs & 2 breweries, lots of shops & lovely old buildings. Church Stretton & Ludlow are only 25 minutes by car, lots to see & do Shrewsbury is our biggest town is 45 minutes by car. Shropshire has lots of castles, old houses, beautiful countryside & friendly locals.
