Located in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Alkington Grange Barns. There are 5 stunning self-catering holiday cottages of varying sizes, sleeping from 2 to 12 people and 3 pet friendly cottages too. The great selection of free onsite facilities includes an indoor swimming pool, multi-sports court, under 5's play area and so much more all included in the price. There is so much to do locally too, including the famous Chester Zoo, the caves at Hawkstone Follies, or the incredible Bewilderwood.

The historic towns of Chester, Shrewsbury & Nantwich are just a short drive away, and the border of Wales is just on your doorstep.

About the area
Discover Shropshire
Perhaps nowhere else in England will you find a county so deeply rural and with so much variety as Shropshire. Choose a clear day, climb to the top of The Wrekin, and look down on that ‘land of lost content’ so wistfully evoked by A E Housman. Peer through your binoculars and trace the course of Britain’s longest river as the Severn sweeps through the county, from the Breidden Hills to Wyre Forest, slicing Shropshire in two. To the north is a patchwork of dairy fields, hedgerows, copses and crops, broken at intervals by rugged sandstone ridges such as Grinshill or Nesscliffe, and dissected by a complex network of canals.
Spilling over the border into neighbouring Cheshire and North Wales is the unique meres and mosses country, with serenely smooth lakes glinting silver, interspersed with russet-tinged expanses of alder-fringed peat bog, where only the cry of the curlew disturbs the silence. South of the Severn lies the Shropshire Hills AONB. It’s only when you walk Wenlock Edge that you fully discover what a magical place it is – glorious woods and unexpectedly steep slopes plunge to innumerable secret valleys, meadows, streams and farmhouses, all tucked away, invisible from the outside world.
