With its back garden overlooking the 11th Century church, this charming Victorian townhouse is centrally located yet within easy walking distance of the Shropshire Hills. Using antique furniture, original artwork and luxury soft furnishings, the interiors have been individually styled and tastefully decorated to a high standard to create guest rooms with character. With five guest en-suite rooms to choose from, there is a room to suit every taste. Our delicious breakfasts are cooked to order using local quality produce wherever possible. We support fairtrade products and use eco-friendly washing and cleaning agents as well as having a strict recycling policy. Wi-Fi is free throughout the house. Ample off-street car parking is available across the road from Victoria House in the pay and display car park located in Lion Meadow. Please note that car parking is free between 6pm and 8am every night and all day on Sundays and Bank Holidays. To enjoy the best of what the Shropshire Hills has to offer, there is no town better situated than Church Stretton and Victoria House is an ideal place for you to stay. We look forward to welcoming you soon for what we hope will be the first of many visits to this area.
Victoria House is run by myself and a brilliant team who have been working together for 13 years now. Although I own Victoria House and manage all of the bookings, it will be my colleagues, Sarah and Jayne, who will look after you during your stay, including cooking your breakfasts. Angela and Teresa look after the cleanliness of the rooms and between us all, we wish to make your stay as friendly and relaxing as possible. The warmest of welcomes await you here.
