While in Shropshire, we stayed at the Stone Lodge at Combermere Abbey in Whitchurch. As mom enjoyed the series "To the Manor Born," I figured she would love this 2-bedroom former gatekeeper's cottage. I was right. She didn't want to leave. 
The main house (not open to the public), over a mile down the road from our cottage, is undergoing some restoration. The facade is Victorian gothic, but a few pictures on the website show parts dating back to its days as an abbey before Henry VIII sold it off.
These former stables have been converted into vacation flats. I thought they were more architecturally interesting than the main house.
