There’ll be no need to exclude your dogs when planning your next getaway with your nearest and dearest, staying in this exceptional Tudor farmhouse which sleeps 10 guests and two canine companions. Complete with ample gardens for your pups to run around in and luxurious interiors that’ll keep all of the human members of the pack happy, this Shropshire property really does tick a generous selection of boxes for man and dog alike. Spend time letting Rover sniff out a route for everyday walkies, getting to know the quintessentially British countryside that makes up the marvellous Shropshire Hills AONB.
This Grade II-listed property is impressive both inside and out, finished with plenty of traditional design features and sumptuous furnishings that all can enjoy. Having got to know the extensive gardens, all enclosed and secure for pets and children to play in, step inside and make yourselves at home indoors. There are two fully functional wood burners on the ground floor, one in the dining/living space and one in the lounge, both creating the cosiest spot for pups to curl up and snooze away. There are more cosy spots for humans to catch their forty winks upstairs, with two separate staircases leading up to five exceptional bedrooms and a total of three bathrooms.
With Fido at your heels, set off and explore the stunning surrounding countryside. Providing a seemingly endless waymarked pathway with ample sticks for your pets to fetch, the Offa’s Dyke Path is accessible from the nearby town of Knighton (12 miles). A picturesque Welsh border town, you’ll also find plenty of pet-friendly pubs here for refreshment at your walk’s end. A little closer to home, Hopton Wood (4.5 miles) is an impressive place to explore, known for its excellent mountain biking routes but also offering a great spot to walk your dog – just don’t forget to avoid the bike trails!
