Perched high above the rolling borders of Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, this beautifully restored red-brick retreat is a scenic sanctuary for groups and their tail-wagging travel companions. With panoramic rural views, an enclosed garden and walking routes from the doorstep, it’s a dream escape for anyone holidaying with a faithful pup in tow.
Inside, this retreat is brimming with warmth and character, from beamed ceilings to handmade furnishings that reflect the owner’s thoughtful touches. Kick off muddy boots in the hall and head into the kitchen/diner with a large island. Garden views, granite worktops and hand-painted cabinetry lend country elegance, while a utility room keeps things practical. A few steps lead down into the snug sitting room, with comfortable sofas and a wonderful wood burner. A separate TV lounge provides more space to unwind, while younger guests will love the games room. A ground-floor super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and zip-and-link beds makes for flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs, you’ll find a vaulted twin room, a king-size room, and a double, alongside two bathrooms – one featuring a gorgeous roll-top bath for a well-earned soak after a busy day. Outside, let your pup sniff around while you dine on the patio or relax on the deck. There’s a charcoal BBQ, a fold-away table tennis table, bike storage, and off-road parking for three cars.
Set on a quiet country lane just outside charming Tenbury Wells (1.5 miles), you’re close to local dog-friendly cafes, pubs, and riverside strolls along the Teme. Further afield, Ludlow (6.5 miles) beckons with its castle, cobbled streets and pet-welcoming places to eat and explore. You're also ideally placed for adventures in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape (4 miles), where scenic trails such as Titterstone Clee Hill (7 miles) serve up sniff-worthy landscapes and summit views that are well worth the climb.
