The Summer House holiday home

The Summer House is a holiday cottage in Shropshire. The Octagonal Tower was built around 1607 by Sir Francis Newport and was originally used as a banqueting house for entertaining his guests to dinner. This Grade II listed tower provides a very private and unique getaway, set in the rolling Shropshire countryside. It offers excellent views to the Shropshire Hills and The Wrekin.

The property is tucked away in the hamlet of Eyton-on-Severn, near the ancient Roman settlement at Wroxeter and is surrounded by stunning countryside.
