The Generals Quarters

Shrewsbury, Shropshire

14

Located in the heart of England, the historic Pitchford Hall, a Grade I listed building, offers a remarkable holiday experience in its west wing, known as The General’s Quarters. This seven-bedroom accommodation, which can comfortably sleep 14 guests, is situated just seven miles from Shrewsbury and near the stunning Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property boasts a rich history, having been constructed in 1549, and features original elements such as fireplaces and oak panelled walls, alongside the estate's claim to house what is believed to be the oldest treehouse in the world.

Inside The General’s Quarters, guests will find a spacious kitchen equipped with a range cooker and modern appliances, perfect for morning gatherings around the charming breakfast table. For more formal dining occasions, the exquisite dining room presents an antique table set against a backdrop of oak panels and a roaring fire, creating an inviting atmosphere for celebrations. The sitting room provides a cozy space for relaxation, complete with a TV and DVD player, while the snug room offers a quieter spot for conversation, ensuring that guests have ample options for both socializing and unwinding.

The accommodation features a variety of bedrooms, each reflecting distinct historical styles, with some designed in Georgian elegance and others in Tudor charm. Notably, one of the twin bedrooms is conveniently located near a shower room, while the first floor includes a king-size room with Jack-and-Jill access to a shower room, another king-size room, and two interconnecting twin bedrooms. The master bedroom stands out with its grand four-poster super-king-size bed, and a large twin bedroom features a unique fireplace that divides the space, complemented by an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath.

Guests can also enjoy a private garden enclosed by high walls, ideal for outdoor games or relaxing in sheltered seating areas. The surrounding Pitchford Hall Estate invites exploration, including the historic treehouse. For those eager to venture beyond the property, the vibrant town of Shrewsbury offers numerous attractions, including its 600 listed buildings and rich cultural offerings. Nearby, visitors can explore picturesque towns like Church Stretton and Ludlow, renowned for their natural beauty and historical significance, or take scenic train rides along the Severn Valley Railway. A stay at The General’s Quarters promises a unique and memorable holiday experience, rich in history and natural beauty.
