The bedroom accommodation is spread across the Gatehouse, Moat House, Cider House, Coach House, and Library Suite, offering guests a unique opportunity to "holiday in history." Each property provides a sense of privacy while being conveniently located within 100 yards of friends and family staying in the other buildings.

The Library Suite offers a charming one-bedroom retreat with an en-suite bathroom and a kitchenette, perfect for a more intimate stay.The Dragon Hall makes a wonderful addition to the Estate and forms the centre piece of any group stay. It has been featured by critic William Sitwell in the Daily Telegraph. The huge beamed room has been decorated in gilt frescoes by the Jerwood prize winning artist Adam Dant in the style of a 15th century Florentine Palazzo. With a pair of huge baronial chandeliers, it has the atmosphere and decor of a private Mayfair club in the country. At one end is a large Palazzo-style working fireplace, with a selection of deep sofas, luxurious arm chairs, a huge velvet Ottoman and a hidden 'honour bar' in a Chinese mirrored cabinet. The long refectory oak dining table can seat up to 20 guests (adjustable to sit any number from 10 to 20 guests) with truffle velvet chairs that are modern replicas of the Elizabeth II Coronation chairs used in Westminster Abbey in 1953. This is the perfect place for the whole group to gather and enjoy a delicious meal. There is a professional kitchen with a double RangeMaster cooker with five ring gas top, extra electric hand commercial microwave. American-style fridge/freezer, drinks fridge, dishwasher, microwave and Wedgwood china and 'King's Plate' cutlery makes this the perfect private dining space for a memorable occasion. We have a list of local chefs who can cater for special dinners and meals, along with service staff. Full English or Continental Breakfast can also be organised using the very finest local Shropshire produce. We also offer a self-catering option for those who wish to do their own cooking but may just want one or two catered special meals for the group stay.

Chevaliers Estate remains a haven of peace and rural beauty today – an ideal place to explore Shropshire and the Heart of England, from the gastronomic centre of Ludlow to the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, the Shropshire hills and many other historic houses and gardens, including the Dower House Gardens in nearby Morville of Dr Katherine Swift (author of the bestselling book The Morvile Hours) and the world famous nursery gardens of David Austin Roses.
Bridgnorth, four miles away, is an attractive market town famous for its funicular railway and the many flights of steps which connect the High and Low Towns.

Half an hour’s drive away to the south-west is historic Ludlow, one of the gastro capitals of England with award winning Michelin restaurants, secluded gastro-pubs, historic market square and famous castle ruins where the two ‘Princes of the Tower’ were brought up in the late 15th century.
