## About The Property

James's Parlour is a spacious, well appointed converted barn, near the charming market town of Whitchurch in Shropshire, that can accommodate 12 guests comfortably. With 5 bedrooms  and 3 bathrooms, there's also plenty of space for 2 travel cots. This barn is perfect for a large family holiday, a friends get away or a special celebration. The dining table comfortably sits 12 guests. Enjoy lingering over long dinners or celebration lunches where conversations flow as easily as the wine! The modern kitchen is well equipped to cater for large groups of all ages.

There are an amazing array of facilities on site, starting with a heated indoor swimming pool that can be booked for exclusive use. There's a multi-sports court for football, tennis, badminton and basketball, a super under 5's play area and, in high season, there's a family-friendly Football Field. The picnic and wildlife area on the farm grounds are a really popular family haunt. There are also areas for bird-watching and star-gazing in these deep, dark, rural skies. We can offer a Pamper Session, Afternoon Tea or the services of a private Chef in the comfort of your barn too.

Outside, there's a very large enclosed garden with a patio area and outside furniture. This area affords incredible views across the Shropshire countryside and is a suntrap in summer. A great spot for watching the sun go down whilst you enjoy an alfresco meal with something bubbly or a fun picnic with the children!

'Something for everyone' might be an overused phrase, but it's spot on for James's Parlour. The location in the heart of the Shropshire countryside suits all kinds of activities and adventures – close to the charming market town of Whitchurch, itself just a couple of miles from the Welsh border, and within easy range of days out to places including Chester Zoo, the Adventure park at Bewilderwood or the fantastic Alderford Aqua Park. Walks on the doorstep include the Shropshire Way, running straight through the farm, while the Shropshire Union Canal is less than a mile from the site. 

For those who enjoy a round of Golf we have, Hill Valley Golf Club, just 4 miles away, Hawkstone Park Golf Club, just 9 miles away & Carden Park Golf Club just 14 miles away, so all within a 30 min drive!!
