Roam the rolling Shropshire Hills with your faithful friend by your side then return together to this enticing barn conversion. Sleeping eight guests, the five-bedroom holiday home offers generous, light-filled accommodation for a large group of guests, and has an enclosed courtyard garden where people and pups can bask in the sunshine. Situated on a working farm at Tugford, 10.5 miles from Ludlow, the former barn is set in scenic countryside at the foot of Brown Clee Hill, with its trails and footpaths, some of which take in part of the Shropshire Way.
Follow your furry friend one step up into the beautiful barn. Find yourselves in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with gorgeous, exposed beams and stonework, and a wood burner for warming chilly paws. Let your paw-some pal pad about while you settle back on the soft seating in front of the Smart TV. Head over to the kitchen to dish up doggy dinners and prepare tasty meals for humans. Dine at the table by the window while your chum stretches out. As night falls, bid him goodnight and head off to bed. One bedroom, a king-size with Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom, is up four steps. The rest, all with sloping ceilings, are at the top of the iron and wooden, open-tread staircase. These include two doubles, one with an en-suite shower room, and two singles. There is also a family shower room. Spill out into the garden to let your chum stretch his legs on fine mornings. Light the BBQ here on warm evenings. There is parking for four cars.
Lace up your boots, grab the dog lead and head out to follow a section of the 100-mile Jack Mytton Way. Enjoy a long stroll together at the National Trust’s Wilderhope Manor, 5 miles away.
