Discover the magnificent beauty of Shropshire when you roam the countryside close to this retreat with your faithful friend at your heel. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom holiday home nestles on a smallholding near Bishop’s Wood, 11.5 miles from Telford. With a private, enclosed garden for your chum to enjoy in summer, it also has a wood burner for the colder months.

Wander inside this single-storey hideaway to find accommodation with an abundance of character features, such as vaulted and beamed ceilings. A utility room is the perfect place to rinse damp dog towels after wet walks. Take your four-pawed pal into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to feed him and prepare hot meals for everyone else. Pull a chair up to the table in here or relax in a comfortable chair as he curls up at your feet. Take a step down to enter the main lounge/diner. Open the garden doors in here on sunny days so your pal can pad outside or light the wood burner to throw a cosy glow across the room. Watch the Smart TV or dine at the round table. Settle your canine friend for the night before heading off to bed. The bedrooms include two king-sizes, one with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin room. There is also a family bathroom and a family shower room. Play fetch with your delighted dog in the garden. Relax on the patio or take him for a walk to the shared pond, supervising him and any children. There is parking here for three cars.

Pick up the dog lead and head out on long walks from the doorstep. Follow a circular, 1.5-mile route together at historic Ironbridge Gorge, 11.5 miles away, or while away an afternoon in the beautiful park at the National Trust’s Benthall Hall, 14 miles away.

Well kept, well equipped very comfortable cottage. One of the best holiday cottages we've stayed at. Thankyou for giving us a haven for a much needed break from the builders here at home
