Large group accommodation in Shropshire

We needed a place to stay for a family celebration and holiday. We found The Rookery to be ideal. With nine bedrooms all with really good quality en suite facilities, everyone was very happy with their accommodation. Set in beautiful, peaceful countryside some older family members were able to relax and enjoy the location while others were able to go to some of the nearby visitor attractions. On the week we stayed the weather was excellent and most of our party enjoyed at least one walk from the site. Had the weather not been so kind it was nice to see the table tennis table and table football provided as well as books and indoor games. Had our party included children I am sure the small football field would have been a great attraction.
The kitchen and shower rooms were all extremely well equipped with high quality fittings and accessories, and the beds were very comfortable too!

Where to begin!

We celebrated our wedding weekend at the nearby Mill Barns and stayed at the Dinneys with 50 of our friends.

Anyone getting married in the area, look no further. Nothing was too much and it absolutely made our weekend.

Stunning rooms, amazing views fully stocked houses.

We have all said we are going to try and make an annual trip back there.

Massive thank you to The Dinneys team and see you again soon.

My friend and I stayed here for 3 nights recently. We have been going on an annual ‘boys outing’ for nearly 20 years now and we both agreed that this was without doubt the best b&b we’ve stayed in in all that time. Great location, excellent rooms, super breakfasts, wonderful host. I highly recommend The Dinney

Have just spent 4 nights at the Dinney. Keith and Karen are fantastic hosts and went over and above to ensure our needs were met. The cottage was ideal for 3 adults and came fully equipped with everything we could want. There was also a patio area to sit and enjoy the views and wildlife. The location was stunning and only 3 miles from Bridgnorth. There were lots of walks in the area too. Will definitely return. Thanks again Karen and Keith.

Fabulous self catering property. Beautiful location. very spacious well designed cottage, lots of indoor and outdoor space for large groups/family gatherings. The place is spotless with everything you need. Couldn't fault it!

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend spent at the Rookery at The Dinney Farm celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. The accommodation was superb and spotlessly clean, all bedrooms very spacious and the lounge dining room easily accommodating our party of 17, with beautiful views over the lake and countryside.

We have just returned from a very relaxing holiday staying in the lovely Duck cottage on Dinney Farm. We and our 2 dogs were made to feel very welcome by Karen and Keith, who were always around with hints and tips for our days out, or provide freshly laid eggs for our breakfast.
It was just what we needed, the holiday came just as restrictions were being relaxed and a change of scenery was a perfect tonic.

14 of us stayed in Kingfisher Cottage for a pre-Christmas family get together . It was a perfect choice for our festive weekend.
The Dinney is set in beautiful countryside with stunning views across to Chelmarsh reservoir and beyond . There are lots of great traffic free walks from the doorstep and the nearby town of Bridgnorth has lots to offer. We visited the fabulous Much Wenlock Christmas Fayre during our stay and took a cold water dip in the reservoir too !( Nowca organised sessions) Karen and Keith are excellent hosts and couldn't do enough to help us.

A lovely cosy cottage in set in beautiful surrounding countryside. The cottage was very well equipped with modern facilities.

Fantastic accommodation and location. A beautiful cottage with great little touches, everything had been thought of which was very helpful! Would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay Amazing property and host. They came to help whenever we called. Spacious well equipped.

Lovely home. Lovely host. Came and helped every time we called Well equipped, spacious. Beautiful and clean.

Our big family of 19 spent Christmas 2025 at Rookery. From the warm welcome from the owners, with wine and seasonal treats, to the stunning accommodation and superb location, we knew as soon as we arrived that we had found the perfect place. The big kitchen is fully equipped for a big party, and the huge dining table was perfect for our celebration dinners. Everyone in our party loved it there. I can't speak highly enough of it. It's exceptional.

Absolutely fantastic. A beautiful room which you cannot fault. Breakfast amazing and great choice. The owner is very friendly and really welcoming. I definitely recommend staying here. Nothing was to much trouble. Keep doing what you are doing

The Rookery is a fabulous venue providing ensuite accommodation for up to 20 adults. The property is ideal for a big group celebration, it is very well equipped throughout, super clean, warm, comfortable and with lovely views across the countryside. A great variety of things to do in the area and a lovely base to return to.

Stayed in Rookery cottage - fabulous place. Super bedrooms, all en-suite with walk-in shower. Great kitchen/dining area and very well equipped. Games room so those who wanted to could watch sport on tv without disturbing others. Spacious outdoor patio with gas bbq and lovely views. All in all a really fantastic holiday cottage. We all loved it so much we have booked to go again in March 2025.

An added bonus is that there are a lot of places to visit within easy reach of Dinney farm cottages.

We stayed in the Rookery over the Easter weekend as a family party of 18 with an age range from 1 to 71. We all loved the house and it was perfect for our stay - very spacious, private, comfortable, immaculate, tastefully decorated, modern and really well maintained. Everything was a high standard. The bedrooms are all very comfortable and each has an ensuite with good showers - lovely toiletries too. We were welcomed with two delicious cakes and also bowls of little Easter eggs - such a nice touch. There is plenty of outdoor space and the view over the reservoir and fields is beautiful.We enjoyed using the gas barbecue and the outdoor table tennis and it was great to be able to walk down to the reservoir. We must also mention the football field and the extra living room with table football - all in all there was something for everyone and we are all hoping we can make a return visit.We never got round to visiting other places in the area as it was so lovely just to be in the Rookery!

Absolutely beautiful
Beautiful location
Room was very nice very clean
Made to feel very welcome
Will definitely book again

Stayed here as a friend was getting married across the road at the astbury. Was so impressed with the room we stayed in, it was clean, spacious and modern with lovely views from the windows! Breakfast was amazing and the the two lovely people that ran the b&b were wonderful hosts, extremely welcoming and helpful. Would 100% return and would also recommend!

The Rookery is a purpose built family size property. It is about 6 years old, has 9 en-suite bedrooms (all beautifully proportioned), a large superbly equipped kitchen (though we couldn't find egg-cups!), spacious seating area and a games room. Loads of parking outside - and a barbeque, lots of seating, and a football pitch!
Over the many years we have holidayed as a large family (about 20 of us), this has to be the best venue we have found. The B&B is excellent too. We stayed in both, one after the other.

We stayed at the Dinney for my nephew’s wedding weekend. It was a lovely experience. The owners were attentive, kind and absolutely charming. The rooms were lovely: clean, spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Stayed in Kingfisher in a group of 8 friends. Superb bedrooms ensuite and large downstairs open plan living. Very nice wood burner with kindling, logs and paper all included. Very well equipped kitchen we cooked a whole roast dinner for 8.
We were even given a home made chocolate cake, which was delicious.

We booked two nights and we weren't disappointed, it was clean and comfortable, plenty of room to walk around. Considering we were three couples sharing the accommodation, the bedrooms were large with comfortable beds, definitely coming back.

Great location, very peaceful and well equipped cottage. Decor a little dated and in need of a fresh lick of paint. We did find the lounge area a little small, especially this time of year when you are staying in more. Large patio area, ideal in summer months, was quite uneven in places. Shame that 1 of the twins bedrooms couldn't be converted to a double. Overall, we think the price was a little high.

Had a great stay at the Dinney, stayed in the lakeside room, very comfortable and cosy. Keith and Karen are fabulous hosts and breakfasts are fabulous , nothing too much trouble. Loved the runner ducks and the chickens. Weather wasn’t kind to us but we can’t choose the weather especially in late December.

Well what can I say other than what a fabulous place you have at The Dinney, although you probably know that already. I had high expectations for the accommodation at The Rookery and, oh boy, I was not disappointed at all, in fact my expectations were more than exceeded.The Rookery is perfect, well appointed, spacious, comfortable accommodation up there with the best of them. As a group of 15, we couldn’t have asked for more to make our celebrations so special, well done to the team at The Dinney.

Lovely Stay in Drake Cottage. Your accommodation is good value for money and Furnished to a high standard. Myself and Laura was grateful for the homemade valentines cookie. We didn’t need to see Anyone as we knew the check in and other procedures from visiting in October 2020 and July 2021. Hope to be back again soon.

Absolutely stunning venue and the friendliest hosts you could ever hope to meet, nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was stunning and absolutely spotless with incredible views from the whole site. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, very high quality food and cooked to perfection. Thank you for an incredible stay, I'll definitely be recommending your beautiful B&B to my friends and family.

Everything about this accommodation was five star. We holiday several times a year here in the UK with our dogs this place is hard to beat. 😍Great location, walks from the door, views. Beautiful decor akin to being in a show home.🤩 Spacious immaculate, very modern appliances in kitchen and bathroom.We stayed one night to break our journey to South Wales but will definitely try to make a repeat visit, this accommodation is worth planning a holiday around.We had plenty of room a hall a living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom and big beautiful shower room. All just amazing. Breakfast was delicious, full English with cereals yoghurt and fresh fruit to start. A real treat in a beautiful light filled dining room with beams and windows out to grounds. We walked from the door,down hill, away from any busy roads to a country house style golf club with the dogs for our evening meal. Ideal as we'd all been in the car long enough. Dogs were allowed in the terrace and also in small area near the bar.

We loved our time here - Drake Cottage. Parking space directly outside. The first thing I noticed on walking in was the lemon cake (delicious). Loved the constant sound of birds on the reservoir from the patio and the occasional tit landing on the door handle. I loved the walk at the back with distant views of the reservoir - was particularly nice just before sunset and early morning with noisy geese flying over.

The Drake is very near to the B & B and the garden with benches. This area was beautiful, with plenty of flowers. When I walked in the garden, I was greeted by their friendly dog. There were hens and what I thought were geese but may have been Indian runner ducks.
