The Ferndale Coach House Flat is a self-contained, two-storey, timber building, purpose-built for self-catering (holiday rental) holidays. It is set in the grounds of Ferndale, which has seven acres of garden, woodland, wild flower bank and sheep grazing.
The owner, Wendy Brogden, lives in the main house nearby and is happy to advise on things to see and do and to give any help that may be required. Comments in the visitors' book show that guests have a very enjoyable and comfortable stay in the Ferndale Flat and that they find the location peaceful and an ideal base for visiting local sights or for both long and short walks.

"The hens deserve a mention"
Sorry to have to say that Mr or Mrs Fox stole both of these lovely hens. Our hens now have a large, fenced area to explore where they are safe. And the deer can no longer eat the apple trees!
We have never stayed in a more relaxing holiday home! The attention to detail by Wendy plus her friendliness and care are outstanding. We certainly hope to return here. (April 2023)
The flat has provided us with peace and quiet and everything we could have wished for to give us a comfortable stay. (April 2023)
Our first stay in this lovely flat, but definitely won’t be our last! The view from the balcony is stunning. Wendy is a wonderful host and we felt very welcome here. We recommend the many walks on the doorstep and also the great places to visit, including Stokesay Castle, Clun, Wenlock Priory and Buildwas Abbey. The Swan at Aston Munslow and the Fox at Much Wenlock are among the local pubs serving good food. (May 2023)
We came last year and liked it so much we came back. Still delighted with the view from the balcony, what a feast for the eyes. Wendy is a lovely and welcoming host, ensuring the flat is comfortable. (June 2023)
We had a lovely few days! Thank you for the fabulous library of all things Shropshire – books, maps and pamphlets which helped us to plan our days. (June 2023)
A lovely few days walking from Ferndale – excellent area for exploring, bird watching (red kites, buzzards, ravens and even a skylark). Very comfy flat, well equipped and warm and cosy. 10 out of 10! (July 2023)
