Highland Cow Cuddling Experience with Afternoon Tea and Overnight Stay in Shropshire For Two

Highland cows, an afternoon tea and and overnight stay? What more could you want for a gift?!

On a beautiful Shropshire farm, you'll be introduced to some real VIPs: a small fold of pedigree Highland cows. With their flowing fringes and big, gentle personalities, these cows are impossible not to fall in love with. You’ll spend time in the paddock feeding, grooming, and giving them a good old fuss. Whether you’re snapping photos with your shaggy new pals or enjoying a quiet moment brushing their silky coats, it’s one of those experiences that leaves you feeling calm, happy, and even more obsessed with Highland cows.

Once you’ve had your fill of cuddles, it’s time to slow things down even further with a delicious afternoon tea. Made using locally sourced ingredients and served picnic-style in a beautifully presented box, it’s packed with freshly baked cakes, sandwiches, sweet treats, and, of course, a proper cup of tea. Enjoy it in the farm café or take it outside and soak up the rolling Shropshire views.

After a day that’s already pretty special, you’ll head to the elegant Best Western Valley Hotel in Ironbridge for an overnight stay. This Georgian listed country house hotel sits on the banks of the River Severn, offering a peaceful retreat just a short walk from the heart of Ironbridge. Expect cosy rooms, classic charm, and a relaxing night’s sleep, followed by a delicious breakfast the next morning.

Ironbridge itself is a joy to explore. Wander along the riverside, browse independent shops and cafés, and take in views of the iconic Iron Bridge, or step back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town. With scenic walks, rich history, and a wonderfully laid-back feel, it’s the perfect place to switch off.

As gift ideas go, this one’s hard to beat. It’s a memorable break filled with cuddles, cake, and countryside charm.
