Set near the border to Wales in the Shropshire countryside, this hot tub hideaway for a family of four plus two canine companions is an excellent base for exploring the nearby historic landmarks, the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Park and rural English villages. Snuggle up in front of the electric fire, explore the grounds of the working farm and dine alfresco while staying in this charming semi-detached converted barn.
Step inside and find yourself in the cosy open-plan living space with a compact L-shaped kitchen with wooden cabinets and neutral-toned decor. Next to this space is a lounge area with two plump leather sofas surrounding a flame-effect electric fire and a TV. After cooking a hearty meal for your loved ones, dine together at the round wooden dining table. Also on the ground floor is an en-suite twin bedroom with a TV. Upstairs, you’ll find a double bedroom with a TV and an en-suite. Outside is an enclosed patio with furniture and a hot tub.
Tucked away down a quiet country lane, you’ll be just 5 miles from Ellesmere – where you can dine out and take your four-legged friends for a stroll around the serene lakes and nature reserves. Venture into the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Park to find the medieval National Trust Chirk Castle, the 19-arch Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and a scenic walking trail to World’s End Nature Reserve (all within 18 miles). Head into the picturesque historic railway town of Oswestry (9 miles) and stop at the Shropshire Sculpture Park (11 miles).
