Middle Woodbatch Farm

Friendly and relaxed 4 Star B&B on a working livestock farm dating back to the 1700s.  Located on the Shropshire/Wales border, near the small market town of Bishops Castle, in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. We are fortunate to be close to an extensive network of bridleways that include the Jack Mytton Way, the Kerry Ridgeway and the new Blue Remembered Hills bridleway, which comes right through our farmyard.
