Canal Barn

Shrewsbury, Shropshire

A newly-converted barn on the Attingham Park Estate.

Canal Barn is one of five newly-converted barns in the quiet northern part of the Attingham Estate. It is surrounded by 4,000 acres of park, farm and woodland. Built in two phases between the late 1800s and mid-1900s as a cowhouse and hayloft, the barn is now a light and comfortable space with plenty of character and charm.

From the entrance hallway, you’ll find the kitchen and a sitting room with a dining area and woodburning stove. Upstairs, there’s a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a family bathroom.

The five barns share an enclosed garden, with a lawn, a firepit ready for barbecues and a dining patio. Outside the barns you’ll also find electric car charging points, a bicycle store and a dog shower.  

There are a great many walks, cycle routes and waterways on the estate. A canal leads from the bottom of the drive to Berwick Wharf. You’ll have free entry to the Attingham Park’s Regency Mansion, Walled Garden and Field of Play, as well as other National Trust properties in the area during opening hours. There is access to the parkland anytime during your stay.  Attingham’s Carriage House Café, Stables Shop and second-hand bookshop are open every day.
