The house

Your hosts

Upper Eyton Farmhouse B&B is an imposing 17th century grade 2 listed building. The top floor has been completely refurbished to create 4 high quality ensuite rooms with modern facilities whilst retaining the character of the building. 

History

The hamlet of Eyton lay within the parish of Alberbury, on the Shropshire-Wales border and probably originated as a clearing in the extensive woodland in this area. It existed by the later Saxon period and is mentioned, as Etune, in the Domesday Survey of 1086; the name is derived from the Old English ‘ēg’ and ‘tūn’ – meaning a settlement or farm on a promontory.

To the West, the Welsh mountains and to the East is Shrewsbury, the Shropshire plains and in the distance The Wrekin.

The adjacent farm has sheep and cows and all around us is arable farmland. For your safety, the adjacent land and buildings are off limits and please be aware of farm traffic.

Breakfast is full of local produce and ranges from a full farmhouse English with GF,  vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

If you are feeling energetic, we have a tennis court. If you want to chill there is a large furnished lawn. Numerous species of birds are ever present.

We are Dawn and Greg Simpson and have owned Upper Eyton Farmhouse since September 2016. We moved here from Shrewsbury because we fell in love with the house and the proximity of working farms combined with the peace of a rural location which made the perfect home for us. Since then it has been a labour of love restoring the building and its surroundings.  We offer you a warm welcome and hope you enjoy your stay at the house.
