Property code: 73521

Take your favourite four-legged friend with you when you book a romantic stay at this delightful retreat in Shropshire. Situated 5.5 miles from the centre of Shrewsbury and 14 miles from Welshpool in Wales, the one-bedroom, single-storey hideaway, which has a private hot tub, sleeps two guests and is perfect for couples wishing to bring a pup. It comes with a charming, private, courtyard garden, a heated dog kennel and access to some magnificent walks.

Make your way in at ground-floor level and head into the utility room to pull your boots off, hang your coats and dry damp paws. Put towels straight into the washing machine here and pop your waggy-tailed chum into the crate while you sort yourselves out and unpack the local produce you have bought on your trip out. Take your pup with you through to the lovely lounge, where there is ample space for everyone to relax together. Watch TV in here from the comfort of the soft sofas or open the French doors to the garden so you can all wander out into the sunshine. When mealtime beckon, head through to the kitchen to whip up delicious meals and then dine together at the table. Make fresh coffee in here too to enjoy back through in the lounge. As the day draws to a close, settle your pet if you have brought one with you, and amble through to the sumptuous, super-king-size bedroom, which has a magnificent, en-suite shower room. Have breakfast out in the garden on sunny mornings and cook out on the BBQ here on fine, summer evenings.

Pack a picnic and venture 5.5 miles to head out on long walks through the Shropshire Hills. While away an afternoon in Shrewsbury, pottering in the independent shops and visiting the castle and abbey.

Very comfortable property and perfect for our dog; secure garden and good local walks. Our dog is a nervous rescue and we found the kennel and dog run really useful. There is also a large utility room with a dog crate. Andy the host is lovely, recommended some great walks and our normally shy girl got on with his dog Roly.

A lovely cottage near Shrewsbury. Very well maintained and clean. The hot tub is large with a variety of jets, bubbles and very pleasant lighting.

The cottage is beautiful, a first class property in which to stay. We are dogless, so used the Dog House as a base to visit the Ironbridge museum, walk the banks of Sabrina (prefer the Roman), and tour Shrewsbury and Snowdonia. The owner, Andrew, is an excellent host, very helpful and responsive. We had a wonderful week, thank you Andrew.
