Ryton Grange is a grade 2 listed farmhouse dating back to the Tudor era. Between Shrewsbury and the Shropshire Hills, with Ludlow nearby, this is a perfect base for walking, cycling and celebrations with family and friends. All types of groups are welcome, with short breaks available all year round.

The house has many historic features: exposed beams, oak panelling, and higgledy piggledy floors and stairs, and has been recently renovated and modernised, sympathetically to ensure the building retains its old world charm.

The very large kitchen with flagstone-style floor has handmade oak cupboards, granite work surfaces, a Rangemaster cooker and underfloor heating. The dining area can seat 12-18, perfect for special dinners.

The main living area has a large wood burner as its focal point and 3 large comfortable leather sofas, while the smaller snug has a leather sofa and chair and open fireplace.

The downstairs bedroom is a double with an en suite. Upstairs are 3 more doubles, 1 with a cot, a bedroom with 3 single beds (2 can be zipped together to make a superking), and a single bedroom. 2 extra single guest beds and 4 travel cots are available on request. All bedrooms have been made up to give a 'step back in time' feel, with crochet bedspreads, vintage and antique furniture and chamber pots!

Upstairs is a family bathroom, a shower room and separate toilet. A utility room downstairs has a washing machine and dryer and another toilet, with ample space in a rear hall to hang clothes and store bikes securely.

The Barn Annexe, next to Ryton Grange, has a fully fitted kitchen, dining and living space for 12, wood burner, 3 double bedrooms, 1 en suite and a family bathroom, plus a home cinema.
