Kingfisher
A ground-floor cottage with a well-equipped kitchen/diner, cosy sitting room and its own utility room, opening onto the shared garden and pool.
Discover KingfisherA quiet corner of Shropshire - all to yourselves
The perfect relaxing retreat to explore the Shropshire countryside, with two beautifully converted cottages set on a 100 acre working farm.
Welcome
Two cottages, one very special farm
Reaside Farm sits on a bend of the River Rea, bordered by water on three sides, with two kilometres of riverbank to explore right from your door. It's home to Jacob sheep, horses, donkeys and peacocks, as well as hares, buzzards, red kites, dippers and, fittingly, kingfishers along the water.
The Hayloft and Kingfisher are our two self-catering cottages, converted from farm buildings with exposed beams and bags of character. Guests share the heated outdoor pool, the formal gardens and wildlife pond, and plenty of off-road parking, while James and Olwen, who live on site in the farmhouse, are on hand whenever you need anything.
Our Story
Where you'll stay
Kingfisher & The Hayloft

The Hayloft
Full of original beams and farmyard charm, with a bright kitchen/diner and comfortable sitting area, just a few steps from the pool and gardens.

No Pets, Please
Due to the resident animals and birds, we're unable to accept guests' pets, though you're welcome to meet ours: sheep, horses, donkeys and peacocks around the grounds.
The grounds
Two kilometres of riverbank, right outside the door
The River Rea wraps around the farm on three sides, and you are free to wander the banks, the gardens and the wildlife pond. Watch for hares in the fields, buzzards and red kites overhead, and dippers and kingfishers along the water.
Closer to the cottages you'll find the pergola, loggia and heated pool, sun loungers scattered across the lawn, and our resident peacocks strutting about as if they own the place.
