Property code: OC-83363

Escape to mini-Switzerland and call the Shropshire Hills AONB home with your four-pawed pal by your side. Great for couples or families, this quirky barn is a foodies’, walkers’ and stick chasers’ paradise boasting a wonderful location 4.5 miles from Ludlow.

Bursting with country charm, warm tones and rustic features, enjoy sociable nights fuelled by BBQ banquets and tasty tit bits in the garden or cosy nights in by the flickering flames of the wood burner effect electric fire. Exposed beams line the lounge ceiling and will have your four-pawed sidekick dreaming of the sticks waiting to be chewed in the Shropshire Hills as they sprawl out at your feet. After dinner cooked up in the quaint stylish kitchen, take tipples and treats outside and leave the terrace doors open to the lounge so you can top up glasses with ease. Boasting a door to the garden for the perfect morning views, you’ll be on morning dog duty if you hit the pillow in the ground-floor double with en-suite shower room or you can rest your head in the first-floor master super-king-size with adjoining bathroom.

Whether you’re heading out for games of fetch in the forest, hikes along well-trodden tracks or waterfall chasing, clip a lead on the dog and enjoy spending time exploring together. The landscape is also dotted with nature reserves where you can spot wildlife and enjoy tasty picnic pitstops. For a spot of history, make the 5-mile trip to Ludlow Castle or 11 miles to Stokesay Castle.

Nice country cottage for a short break, well equipped kitchen and beautiful towels and linens. Well suited for dogs and proximity to Ludlow. Landlord very communicative and helpful. As noted in other reviews, seating in front room not as comfortable as could be to read or relax. Great water pressure, WiFi and tv.

Sybils Cottage is a great place to relax and appreciate the countryside and wildlife around you. It is ideally located as a base to visit Ludlow and surrounding attractions. If you have a dog you will find the secure garden perfect and there are many great walks a short drive away.

All in all a lovely cottage in a pleasant location. The state of the roads leading to and from the cottage are deplorable however but that is not anything the cottage owners can controll but it did cause issues. Once roads are upgraded this will be a lovely place to stay
