Victorian Farm Shropshire - Acton Scott Working Farm on BBC

Property of the day

Sutton Court Farm Cottages

We have six delightful holiday cottages, sleeping from 2-6, offering quality accommodation. Each cottage (Barleycorn, Woodsage, Sweetbriar, Hazelnut, Holly and Honeysuckle, sleeping 4, 6, 4, 4, 2 and 2 respectively) has its own unique colour scheme and atmosphere, with wood-burners in Barleycorn and Woodsage. Old stone-work or timbers feature in them all. Holly is all on the ground floor and is suitable for less mobile guests. Honeysuckle is a first floor apartment, cosy for 2, with chairs outside to enjoy the evening sunshine.

Set around an attractive courtyard, the cottages are comfortable and peaceful and offer the ideal centre from which to explore South Shropshire. The surrounding countryside of the Corvedale lies between the Clee Hills and Wenlock Edge with historic Ludlow just 5 miles away.

We offer our visitors a warm welcome, quiet hospitality and the opportunity to relax in the peace and comfort of a rural setting. There are many wonderful places to eat good, local food nearby but we also offer Breakfast packs, Cream teas and home-cooked Evening meals (booked in advance). Bed and breakfast also available.

See the real "Victorian Farm" - visit Acton Scott Working Farm

The highly successful BBC 2 ‘Victorian Farm’ series was filmed within easy reach of all our members, at and around the popular Acton Scott Historic Working Farm and many of the locations can be seen from a visit. This is a favourite attraction for visitors to South Shropshire and all our members are delighted to be able to offer entry concessions for guests during this year.

The Victorian Farm TV series saw the restoration of a derelict building on the estate into an authentic 19th century farm labourer's house. The programme followed the labourers living life with no 'mod cons' and farming without tractors and using only traditional skills and implements. A visit to Acton Scott is always full of interest and visitors can view practical demonstrations of our farming heritage.

Acton Scott is open from 7^th April to 1^st November and appeals to all ages. It offers a fascinating experience of farm and country life on a Shropshire hill farm in Victorian times. Please ask individual accommodation providers for details of entry concessions available and mention this web site.
