Well House is set in the tiny hamlet of Chapel Lawn, within the hidden Redlake Valley in the South Shropshire Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We're five miles south of Clun, famous for its pubs, music and Green Man festival. Fifteen miles away is Ludlow, well known for its Food Festival, and four miles away is the Welsh border town of Knighton.
If you're walking through Knighton along the Offa's Dyke path, we can collect you at the end of the day and return you to the same spot the next morning for a small extra charge.
This is an ideal spot for anyone wanting peace and tranquillity. The walks and views are superb; the pace of life is slow; people are friendly; the pubs and the beer are wonderful. It's the England we all think we remember that never really existed - except here.
Next door to a working farm, our lovely, wisteria-clad, oak-beamed, stone farm-house dates from 1714.
Our beds are comfortable - we can provide double or separate accommodation - our breakfasts are large and good and our garden is a delight to laze in.
There is a breakfast room with an open fire on chilly days and a large, elm-panelled parlour with an inglenook fireplace and log burner.
If you want TV we have it in the parlour, as well as wireless broadband, but unless you climb up to historic Caer Caradoc, the nearby Iron Age hill fort, you're out of range of a mobile mast - so you really are away from it all here.
If it's too wet to go out, you can stay indoors and watch old videos and play scrabble, or just doze on a sofa.
We can advise you on walks of varying lengths and difficulty and we especially welcome walkers and cyclists. We have secure storage for bikes. If you can't bring your bike you can borrow one of ours.
For a small charge we can collect you from nearby railway stations such as Ludlow, Craven Arms and Bucknell and although we only occasionally provide evening meals, we can always arrange for one locally - again, transport is possible. We aren't licensed but you can bring your own wine and beer.
Our prices are reasonable and if you're part of a larger party, we can also refer your friends to neighbouring B&Bs.

| Directions | |
| On a map of Shropshire find Bucknell and Clun which are both west of Ludlow and very close to the Welsh border. Chapel Lawn is a tiny village midway between the two, five miles south of Clun and three miles north of Bucknell. The OS Grid reference is SO 317764 from 50,000:1 Map 137 or from 25,000:1 OS Pathfinder Map Sheet 950. As you enter Chapel Lawn from the south (Bucknell), Well House is the first house on the left, or it's the last house on the right if you are coming from the north (Clun). The nearest Railway Stations are Bucknell about three miles away, and Knighton - six miles away, both on the Heart of Wales Line. There are also stations at Craven Arms and Ludlow, both about fifteen miles distant (we can collect you for a small extra charge - see Tarrif). For train times contact: |
