Escape to rural south Shropshire with a stay at this renovated gatehouse lodge. Located at the entrance to the expansive Marrington Estate, this dog-friendly abode is ideal for those who love to be immersed in nature. Offering ample accommodation for up to six guests, this welcoming property features an enclosed garden, a games room, an outdoor hot tub, and stunning rural views. There’s plenty to entice you out too, from the Shropshire Hills to a local vineyard.
The interior of this lodge exudes elegance and warmth, the fresh and light contemporary style blending with original features. The elegant and light-filled lounge features plush sofas, a wood burner and patio doors leading out to the rear lawned garden. The fitted kitchen is well appointed for rustling up meals for your group, with picturesque views to inspire your creations. Gather around the dining table for memorable mealtimes or fire up the BBQ and enjoy an al fresco feast in the garden, next to the fire pit. A games room with a football table provides after-dinner entertainment, then when night falls head upstairs to find three restful bedrooms. Choose between a king-size, a double, and a super-king-size zip-and-link, which can be arranged to accommodate your group. Two bathrooms and a utility room offer comfort and convenience.
Set off from your front door to wander trails through the estate, or venture to nearby Montgomery (4 miles) to pick up sections of the Offa’s Dyke long-distance trail. This historic town has plenty to offer too, with medieval streets, quaint shops and a ruined castle. Try local wines at the Kerry Vale Vineyard (4 miles) or discover the region’s unique heritage and vibrant local life in the market towns of Shrewsbury (20 miles) and Ludlow (28 miles).
