The Bothy
The Bothy is a cosy cottage in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, sleeping two and ideal for a couple wanting a compact base for exploring the town and its history. Ditherington Flax Mill, the Battle of Shrewsbury Exhibition and Soldiers of Shropshire Museum are all within three miles, giving you plenty of options for delving into the area's past without travelling far. The River Severn runs nearby too, about 2.7 miles off, though its water quality is currently rated poor, so it's better suited to a riverside wander than a swim. Shrewsbury station, 2.8 miles away, makes onward travel easy if you'd like to venture further during your stay.
