This restored 1920s Showman's Waggon is a chance to experience what life must have been like for the ringmaster of the circus, living in a small but elaborately decorated living waggon with a sense of palatial grandeur far beyond its compact size. New photos here. Located on a stud farm, the waggon enjoys a peaceful position alongside the stables. Everyone loves the miniature pony that makes for an 'eco' lawnmower'. Wonderful open views to the front across the Shropshire landscape. Badgers in the woodland. The experience of staying in the waggon feels like 'posh camping' - especially as the interior of the cabin is a delight with its cut-glass mirrors, crystal lamps, panelled walls and beautifully decorated ceiling. Further photos here or guest snaps from winter.

Compact kitchen with full size fridge, fitted units and a small table with 2 chairs. Note that the sink is the adjacent cabin.

There is a microwave, toaster and kettle. Electric heater. Decorated ceiling.

Parlour with multifuel stove. Cut-glass windows, and mirrors, lined in hardwood panelling. First hod of coal provided for fire. There is also electric heater backup if required. Logs can be supplied - ask on arrival.

Beautiful cut-glass mirrors and fitted bureau and bookshelves and great views. CD Radio, but (thankfully) no TV. You can always bring a laptop to watch DVDs.

Double bedroom – bedlinen provided. The double bed is fitted and has a proper sprung mattress of good quality. The bed is higher off the ground than modern beds. It is 6'4" long (standard) and 4'1" wide - so comfortable for two but slightly narrower than a modern standard double.

There is a cute fitted dressing table and a small wardrobe. Views via windows on two sides that make getting out of bed seem worthwhile. Electric heater.

Outside there is a small cabin adjacent which has a newly fitted electric shower, a proper flushing toilet and the only sink (with hot water). Electric heater.

There is a barbeque, a fire pit, seating and a table.

You have free access over 60 acres of this land which has the feeling of historic estate parkland, with mature oak trees among pasture, with some woodland and a small lake. You can even borrow the rowing boat (at own risk).

Vickers Romany Caravan sleeps 2
