The Experience

Looking for a gift that’s heart-warming, and guaranteed to raise a smile? This Highland Cow Cuddling Experience with Overnight Stay in Shropshire ticks all the right boxes.

You'll meet the Highland cows on a friendly farm that’s home to over 50 animals. With their shaggy fringes, impressive horns and calm, gentle personalities, they’re impossible not to fall in love with. During your 30-minute encounter, you’ll head into the paddock to feed them by hand, give them a good brush, and enjoy plenty of fuss, cuddles very much encouraged. These prize-linked cows come from a well-known Yorkshire breeding programme, so you’re meeting some seriously impressive members of the breed. They’re also extremely photogenic, so your photo library is about to get a lot cuter.

As well as time on the farm, you'll be off to Ironbridge for a relaxing overnight stay at the Best Western Valley Hotel. This Georgian listed country house sits right on the banks of the River Severn, offering a peaceful setting that feels a world away from everyday life. Expect classic interiors, modern comforts and a cosy atmosphere that’s perfect for switching off. A delicious breakfast is included too.

The hotel is just a short walk from the heart of Ironbridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for the iconic Iron Bridge. Spend your time wandering riverside paths, browsing independent shops and cafés, or stepping back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town.

This experience makes a thoughtful gift for animal lovers, couples who enjoy something unusual, or anyone in need of a gentle escape with a Highland cow cuddle thrown in for good measure.
