Escape the winter chill at Middle Farm
Experience the ultimate winter sanctuary at Middle Farm, a luxury self-catering retreat set on a family-run farm within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Balancing rustic heritage with modern luxury, our cottages are designed for pure relaxation. Stream your favorite shows over high-speed fiber Wi-Fi, melt into a sumptuous super-king bed, and thaw out in an elegant, full-suite bathroom after a bracing countryside walk. Discover your perfect slice of winter hygge here.
Walks on our Doorstep
There is a magical, frosted stillness that settles over the Shropshire Hills in winter, turning the rolling ridges and dramatic peaks into a peaceful sanctuary. Crisp, clear days offer breathtaking, misty views that feel entirely your own. It is the ultimate restorative escape, where a sharp winter ramble makes returning to a warm, cozy fire feel all the sweeter.
4×4 Off-road Exploration
We offer exhilarating winter Land Rover trips that take you deep into the heart of the seasonal landscape. Wrap up warm and head out for a rugged off-road adventure, tracking wildlife and taking in the breathtaking, frost-dusted scenery from the comfort of a classic 4×4. It’s the perfect way to experience the wilder side of the farm.
