aboutus


Magnolia is a wonderful place to stay, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Bishop's Castle, one of Shropshire's most popular tourist destinations. Our B&B is in a tranquil and beautiful setting where you can enjoy the peace of the exceptional South Shropshire countryside and relax in our quality accommodation.

Weather permitting, you can enjoy alfresco breakfast dining with an excellent traditional breakfast from local organic produce with fresh fruit; including peaches, raspberries, grapes and tomatoes from our garden when in season, Elizabeth's home made preserves and the option of our 'celebration breakfast' - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs and bucks fizz! The bees from next door even provide our honey.

Bishop's Castle is set amongst the rolling hills of the Marches, just 3 miles from the Welsh border and is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are walking festivals, beer and food festivals to name but a few - and the now famous Michaelmas Fair each September when most of the town's streets close for cafes and market stalls - not to mention the live music concerts in the evenings.

One of the great attractions are the town's two micro breweries, The Three Tuns is the most famous having been brewing since 1642 and is now joined by the award winning Six Bells. There are several excellent places to eat out and all within a few minutes walking distance of Magnolia.

The historic Offa's Dyke path passes close by, together with the Kerry Ridgeway (ancient drover's route) and we have direct access to the Shropshire Way from our garden. There are many walks to suit all abilities directly from Bishop's Castle and in the beautiful surrounding hills. We have a selection of walking leaflets and maps for you to use during your stay and guided walks are available by prior arrangement.

There are many places to visit in the surrounding area with Powys Castle, Berrington Hall, Stokesay Castle and many fascinating border towns like the historic, and now restaurant-famed Ludlow. Wolf Watch UK is just a few miles away and becoming very popular with our guests.

There is nowhere else within walking distance of the town that can provide you with such a comfortable, quiet and scenic setting as Magnolia.
