Overview
Property code: 86516

Maintaining a traditional rustic style, this three-bedroom haven is the epitome of a classic English farm cottage, bursting with charm and retaining many wonderful original features.

The farmhouse-style kitchen welcomes you into the cottage, setting the rustic and rural atmosphere, leading through to the sunny adjoining dining room with plenty of space for your canine companion to accompany you as you dine as a family. After a long walkies, put your feet up in the cosy cottage-style living room around the wood burner, the perfect warm spot for Rover to curl up and doze off. Heading up the cottage-style turned staircase, you’ve got three delightful bedrooms to choose between, all with gorgeous views to send you and your four-legged pal to sleep with tails wagging. Enjoy even more fabulous uninterrupted countryside views from sunrise to sunset in the idyllic garden with woodland perfect for your four-pawed pal to really sniff out their surroundings and let off some steam whilst you enjoy al fresco dining on the paved patio.

Just 4 miles away from Bridgnorth is the UNESCO world heritage site at Ironbridge, which boasts the world-famous Bridge that you and your four-legged friend would be barking mad not to explore, not forgetting the fantastic surrounding independent shops, pubs and restaurants. Renowned for its stunning beauty, have a ball at Arley Arboretum and Gardens 14.5 miles away lying on the banks of the River Severn at Upper Arley, a dream escape from the bustle of everyday life, with an Italian garden, fountains, themed trails and a maze to explore with your canine companion in tow.

The cottage is well cared for, warm & cosy for out of season bookings. The kitchen is lovely with the Aga for warmth & cooking. There are lots of extra little touches which add to a homely feel.

Great cottage, great location. Nice a peaceful but only a short drive to many great locations. As in previous reviews the broadband is very slow so do your planning before you arrive. Aga is lovely and warm and a great novelty if you have never had one. Very comfy beds and a great garden. Would highly recommend.

What a gorgeous place to relax. The cottage is lovely and the setting is picture perfect. We visited some great local attractions before returning each evening for cosy evenings in front of the fire. It feels very remote (which is its charm) while being only a few miles from Bridgnorth. We hope to return soon!
