Up to six guests and one canine companion can stay in this stone countryside cottage on the edge of the border to Wales. With exposed wooden beams, homely country-style decor and a spacious open-plan layout, you’ll be set for a memorable getaway with your loved ones. Spend your time away surrounded by nature in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, exploring local historic landmarks and discovering quaint towns and villages nearby.
Step inside and find yourself in the blue farmhouse-style kitchen with stone flooring and a wooden dining table in the centre of the room. Around the outside is a white, fitted ‘L’-shaped kitchen unit. Also on the ground floor is a contemporary shower room with a walk-in shower. Climb the stairs to reach the bright open-plan lounge/diner with balcony access, wooden furnishings and tones of yellow and orange throughout. On one side of the room is an exposed stone inglenook fireplace with a wood burner in front of an antique-style rug and two comfortable sofas. Move across the wooden floor to reach a dining area with a Scandi-style floor lamp and bookshelf beside a wooden dining table. There is a double bedroom on this floor and a further two bedrooms in the eaves of the property – an en-suite double and a family room containing a king-size bed and a single bed. There is an enclosed front balcony with bistro furniture, a secure garage and private parking for one car.
While staying in Bishop’s Castle, wander around the market town to find a handful of independent eateries (within 0.5 miles). Head into the Shropshire Hills National Landscape (1 mile) to see the 13th-century Clun Castle (5.5 miles) and National Trust Wilderhope Manor (20 miles). Just 25 miles away is the medieval town of Shropshire.
