Cute as a button and cosy as can be, this beautifully converted cart house offers an idyllic couples’ escape. Originally part of the historic Stokesay Estate, this delightful property is surrounded by listed buildings and riverside walks. Located in the Welsh borders in south Shropshire, this destination appeals to couples and solo travellers keen to walk the Shropshire Hills and explore quaint market towns and historic sites.

Lovingly converted to make the most of the space, this charming abode has a chic, contemporary style and is furnished to a high standard throughout. Downstairs, the open-plan living area has a warm and welcoming ambiance with a relaxing colour scheme and a wood burner. Rustle up home-cooked meals in the well-equipped, fitted kitchen before settling around the table for two to enjoy a romantic supper. Then sink into the plush sofa to curl up with a book or catch up with your favourite TV series. Upstairs, the double bedroom is a haven of peace with luxurious linens ensuring a restful night’s sleep. A modern shower room completes the interior, while outside a small walled garden offers a secluded spot for morning coffee and evening meals beneath the stars.

Named after the 17th-century inn at its heart, Craven Arms is a traditional market town with a handful of fun attractions. Learn about the Shropshire Hills and set off on waymarked trails from the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, visit Stokesay Castle, a beautifully preserved medieval manor house, or explore the quirky Museum of Lost Content. The historic town of Ludlow (10 miles) boasts stunning architecture, an 11th-century castle, and a reputation as a haven for foodies.

Lovely cottage; very peaceful and great location for local walks, trips into Ludlow etc. Very comfortable, and nice and warm. Had everything we needed. Local shops and takeaways all within 5 minutes walk. Would recommend.

The cottage has been beautifully renovated, with beautiful decor, to create a very stylish, cosy & comfortable haven. The welcome pack & kitchen supplies were much appreciated & the instructions were clear without being overwhelming. A great location to access lots of places with relative ease. How lovely to be able to enjoy an easy stroll to The Read moreShropshire Hills Centre & spectacular Stokesay Castle, just by stepping out of The Carthouse. For those of you who appreciate a few car free days, there are both buses and trains readily available too for trips to Ludlow, Church Stretton, Hereford & Shrewsbury. There are lots of beautiful walks to be enjoyed as well as some great pubs such as The Ragleth Inn, Little Stretton, where we had a splendid Sunday Lunch. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Carthouse for a lovely getaway. Hide
