Dating back to the 1600s, Shrewley Pools Farm is a beautifully preserved Grade II listed farmhouse that embodies the charm and character of traditional English country living. Recognised as a property of particular historical importance, the farmhouse is rich in period features, with half-timbered beamed ceilings, oak floors and a delightful maze-like layout that invites exploration. From the moment guests step inside, they are greeted by an atmosphere of warmth, heritage and rural tranquillity.
The farmhouse offers accommodation for up to six guests across three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms: a king-size double with en-suite, a twin room also with en-suite and a further double bedroom with a separate bathroom just down the corridor. The interior includes a welcoming hallway, a cosy sitting room ideal for quiet relaxation, and an elegant dining room perfect for gathering over meals.
Outside, the extensive gardens are a highlight in themselves. With winding pathways, varied garden areas and even an orchard, the grounds feel as though they belong to a National Trust property. They offer the perfect setting for peaceful walks or quiet moments surrounded by nature, though younger visitors may need a watchful eye as they explore.
For those who enjoy fishing, guests staying at the farmhouse receive discounted access to the estate’s spring-fed, three-acre Big Pool. This 400-year-old lake provides a serene and scenic setting for a day’s angling. It is home to an impressive variety of fish, including carp over 20lbs, bream, roach, perch, gudgeon and the occasional tench. With commons and mirrors averaging 6–8lbs, it is a rewarding location for anglers of all ages and abilities.
A hearty full English breakfast is served to set guests up for the day, ensuring a comfortable and satisfying start to mornings at Shrewley Pools Farm.
Ideally situated, the farmhouse provides an excellent base for exploring the many attractions of the surrounding area. Warwick and Kenilworth Castles, the elegant Regency town of Leamington Spa, and Shakespeare’s birthplace at Stratford-upon-Avon are all within easy reach. For those seeking a taste of city life, Coventry and Birmingham are also close by.
Combining centuries of history, refined comfort and a peaceful rural setting, Shrewley Pools Farm offers an unforgettable stay in the heart of Warwickshire.
