Escape to this charming semi-detached cottage nestled in the heart of the tranquil Shropshire countryside, perfectly positioned between the historic market towns of Shrewsbury and Whitchurch. Complete with a crackling wood burner and an enclosed private garden, this cosy retreat is an ideal haven for couples or small families looking to unwind with their furry companion.

Step inside this welcoming home and discover a beautifully designed kitchen with a dining table for four. It's perfect for intimate dinners and the hard floors are ideal for cleaning up after muddy paws return from countryside escapades! After a day of exploring, retreat to the lounge where a wood burner adds warmth and ambience – perfect for snuggling up with your beloved pet at your feet. There's an alcove with a desk, chair and lamp providing a quiet corner for any mid-holiday emails. When it’s time to rest, head upstairs to two inviting bedrooms. The master bedroom features a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (which can be made into twins on request at the time of booking), while the second bedroom offers a comfortable double. Both rooms are dressed in plush furnishings and boast views of the rolling fields, promising a peaceful night’s sleep. A contemporary family bathroom completes the interior. Step outside through the French doors to your private garden – a delightful spot for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the fresh countryside air. Dine beneath the apple trees at the outdoor table and chairs while your playful pup romps around the lawn. Off-road parking for four cars is available. If you're planning to bring a bigger group, there's a twin property next door that’s perfect for extra guests.

Excellent house. In a good location to reach many attractions. For dog owners, the large garden really is enclosed and safe.

The cottage was excellent and had everything that we needed although we would suggest a small shaving mirror in the bathroom would be a good idea.

Lovely cottage with lots of thoughtful touches and most importantly the garden was safe for Rosie our small cavapoo. We stayed there while our new home was being renovated so unfortunately we didn't get to do any sightseeing. Bear in mind that being rural the internet could be a bit slow at times though it was not too much of a problem to us.
