Bothy

Country houses used to have a bothy, a basic accommodation for gardeners or other workers on the estate. Country House Hideout is proud to help revive this tradition and put these old structures to good use as larders where you can stock up for basic meals. Much of the produce here will be local so you'll lower your food miles at the same time.

Shropshire is renowned for its seasonal produce and purveyors of fine food, so instead of a bothy, Acton Scott has organised a food and drink delivery service direct to your encampment. To start your holiday in relaxed style and comfort, pre-book a tasty ready-made pot dish or two from the estate's cook to simply heat through on the stove and advance order one of Acton Scott's delicious luxury hampers at the time of the reservation.
