Toad Hall and the Eaton Manor Estate generally provided an excellent venue for a three generational family gathering. Our ages ranged from 9 to 80 and between us we made use of the swimming pool, the games barn, the croquet lawn and the archery range… Everything we needed or wanted was on site. A perfect venue.
What could you enjoy at Eaton Manor this half term?
Luxury Cottages
Our selection of holiday cottages suit all sizes of groups.
From couples & small families, to large multigenerational groups. They are all 4 & 5 Star Gold and are family-friendly and dog-friendly, and 4 of them are accessible.
Dogs Welcome
Bring your dog(s) and enjoy a truly dog-friendly holiday experience.
With spectacular Shropshire countryside walks on your door step, a warm dog wash for afterwards, and various little extras, your four legged friend will really feel at home as well.
Games Barn
Our indoor games barn is a great big space on-site for use by all guests.
Come rain or shine, you’ll be sure that there’s plenty for the whole family, including a large soft play area, snooker, pool, table tennis, air hockey and table football etc.
Soft Play Area
The games barn is also home to our large soft play area.
Perfect for children under the age of 12, our professionally installed and maintained large soft play area can keep your little ones entertained for hours.
Swimming Pool
The swimming pool will be open and you can book your own private slots.
Enjoy the luxury of your own pool with our online booking system – allowing you to book your private use for hour-long slots each day to enjoy with your group.
Green Open Spaces
Explore Eaton Manor’s 500 acres of beautiful countryside at your leisure.
Enjoy fun packed walks, play ‘Pooh Sticks’ on the bridge, paddle through the brook, relax with a peaceful stroll and spot some wonderful wildlife along the way.
Go Wild Challenge
Our Go Wild Challenge is popular with our younger guests, and they get a prize!
Having taken inspiration from the National Trust’s ‘50 things to do before you’re 11 ¾’ we have compiled our own ‘Go Wild’ challenge with ‘25 things to do at Eaton Manor’!
Have-a-Go Archery
Our ‘have-a-go’ archery sessions are a great family activity.
Provided by a professional coach in our indoor archery range, including use of all the equipment you’ll need, our ‘have-a-go’ archery sessions are great fun for everyone.
Chef prepared food to enjoy…
Although our holiday cottages are self-catered, we have links with some first-class local food suppliers who can help make your stay at Eaton truly relaxing.
Rather than having to cook during your stay, you can indulge in delicious drop off suppers that you re-heat at your convenience.
If you have a special occasion to celebrate you could even have one of our chefs to come and cook for you in your holiday home – and they clear everything away afterwards as well for the ultimate treat!
Fun things to do locally…
Take part in Backyard Survival activities at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre
Learn all about ‘Backyard Survival’ during the May half term at The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms.
This is for a recommended age of 5 – 11 years and will teach children about surviving out of doors with skills such as filtering water, make a ‘one minute’ fire and build a den.
Available from Monday 29th May to Friday 2nd June 2023. Price is £4.50 per accompanied child and booking is essential by calling 01588 676 060.
Go for a walk with the promise of a fresh milkshake (available all year round)!
Another of our local farms, Proper Good Dairy, has a chilled vending machine where you can buy fresh milkshakes (in compostable lidded cups to take away with you).
This is where the fresh milk we provide in the cottages on your arrival is from, so you can also refill your glass milk bottle whilst you’re here too! Other chilled products are also available.
Proper Good Dairy is also about a 5 minute drive from Eaton Manor, or roughly a 45 minute walk along country lanes (although in the opposite direction to Claybrook Farm).
Everything you’ll ever need
We pride ourselves in helping you organise your special event or celebration, be it a milestone birthday, reunion, anniversary or simply an excuse to get together with friends and family. There is so much to enjoy on the Estate as well as exciting activities and guest services - and if you have a particular activity in mind please let us know and we will try to source it locally for you.
