About the site

Providing an idyllic stop off in the quiet Shropshire countryside, this site offers spacious touring pitches and a unique opportunity to experience authentic farm life. The farm has been worked by the same family in Frodesley for more than 120 years and remains a traditional mixed farm today. Dedicated to continuing traditional mixed farming methods, the site ensures a rural experience for its guests. The site offers eight hardstanding touring pitches. Each pitch measures approximately 7m x 5m with 16-amp electric hookup and its own water supply, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside. Guests can experience a little of everyday farm life during their stay, with goats, sheep, cattle, donkeys, chickens and ducks around the farm. On clear evenings, the rural location also makes a lovely spot for enjoying Shropshire's dark skies. Carp fishing is available on the half-acre pool for staying guests, with numbers limited to keep the experience peaceful. Please note that booking is essential. There are walks directly from the site, and Church Stretton, the Shropshire Hills, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge, Ludlow and The Wrekin are all within easy reach. One well-behaved dog is welcome per pitch, subject to a small charge, and must be kept on a lead due to the working livestock farm. BBQs are permitted when conditions allow, provided they are raised off the ground and attended to at all times. Note that fire pits and campfires are not permitted.

The Shepherd's Loft is open from 13/02 to 02/11. Pitches from £25/night for 2 people.

We found this little site as a last minute stopover. Small but well kept site with great check in/out times. There was only two vans on the site, and by the morning there was only us which was really nice and peaceful to have breakfast.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really pleased you found us for your last-minute stopover and enjoyed your stay. It sounds like you picked a particularly peaceful night to visit – having breakfast with the site all to yourselves and the countryside around you sounds like a pretty good way to start the day! 😊 We’re glad you found the site well kept and liked our flexible check-in and check-out times. Being a small site means we try to keep things as relaxed and straightforward as we can for our guests. Thank you again for choosing The Shepherd’s Loft. Hopefully next time you’re passing through Shropshire, you might be able to stay a little longer! 🌿

A note from the site themselves...

Our farm has been in the family for more than 120 years, so The Shepherd's Loft is very much part of our everyday life rather than a separate holiday business. We wanted to create somewhere small and peaceful where guests can enjoy the countryside as it really is - animals, muddy boots, changing weather, wildlife and all. We love being able to share a little taste of farm life with people, and we're proud that the site still feels relaxed, personal and very much part of home.

Things to do on site and in the Dorrington area

The half-acre fishing pool here is well stocked with carp and offers a peaceful way to spend a few hours without leaving the site. Fishing is available to staying guests, with numbers limited to keep it relaxed and enjoyable. Spaces can be added as a bookable extra when you make your booking.

If walking is more your thing, there are several local footpaths to explore, including a two-hour circular walk directly from the site. The Shropshire Hills National Landscape is also close by, with plenty of scenic routes and more challenging walks.

Attingham Park, owned by the National Trust, is around 20 minutes away, while keen walkers can head for the Long Mynd, Caer Caradoc or The Wrekin.
