Throw open patio doors and windows to soak up the great outdoors from this converted byre within the Shropshire Hills. Surrounded by verdant countryside on a working farm location, four guests and one dog are invited to relish in the peace and tranquillity that this cottage has to offer. Offering walks in every direction and a pub just metres away, you can look forward to embracing a slower pace of life throughout a long or short stay. Explore both sides of the border with the Mid Wales countryside beginning around 17 miles away and the border towns of Knighton (23 miles) and Welshpool (27 miles) well worth the drive.

Original beams and stable doors sit alongside floral soft furnishings and traditionally styled accents in this converted cottage. The ground floor is made up of a sociable open-plan space with a lounge, dining room and kitchen all in one. French doors from here lead out into an enclosed garden, ensuring children and pets always have a place to play when the sun shines. Whether you dine indoors or out, the cosy embrace of the sofas and Smart TV offers an evening of entertainment when night falls. Move up the stairs to find two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms, passing a ground-floor WC as you go.

Surrounded by the undulating hilltops of the Apedale Valley, discover a seemingly endless array of nature trails and waymarked footpaths from your doorstep and admire the fabulous Shropshire scenery all around. Pleasant afternoons can be spent exploring the farmland around Wilderhope Manor (3.5 miles) and the mature gardens and lakes around Millichope Park (3 miles), whilst the nearby towns of Much Wenlock (9 miles) and Ludlow (14 miles) offer historic streets, ancient architecture and pubs and shops to frequent.

While the cottage was very clean and tidy, there were a few problems. - There was no internet access - While there was a DVD player, there was no video remote control to operate it - The door of the freezer compartment was missing - The beds were rather too soft and sloped down at the sides

Very clean, pretty and cosy cottage in a lovely, quiet location. The garden is great for sitting out and for a dog. It is a bit smaller than it looks on the photos but it is just as lovely and is fine for 4 adults. The TV is not a SMART TV but some DVDs were provided, as well as books and the Articulate game.
