  • Private patio overlooking 3 acres of beautiful gardens and a wildflower meadow
  • Rural retreat in idyllic South Shropshire with stunning walks and traditional market towns nearby
Property code: OC-90642

We know you and your pups love being together in the great outdoors, so this two-bed cottage is a perfect match for you. Up to four on two legs and two on four legs can stay in comfort at this tranquil retreat in a stunning location on the outskirts of Stottesdon village. Set within the owners’ extensive grounds, it has its own patio overlooking the beautiful 3 gardens with a wildflower meadow. Beyond the grounds, this peaceful part of Shropshire offers wildlife and country walks galore, with the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around 3 miles away.

The bright and airy lounge offers ample sofa seating around a wood burner-effect electric fire, plus large and low windows maximising both light and views. A snug suits quieter time, games or maybe a crafty cat nap (did somebody say cat?!). The smart kitchen/diner offers a modern fitted kitchen with stacks of room and all you’ll need, including a round dining table comfortably seating four. There’s a calming twin bedroom downstairs too, while the spacious king-size master bedroom is upstairs. Spend quality time on the raised patio as you watch your furry pals sniff their way around the beautiful gardens.

Stock up on supplies or enjoy a night off cooking at pretty Shropshire market towns including Cleobury Mortimer (7 miles), landmark Ludlow (13 miles) and Bridgnorth (10 miles). Check out the stunning castle in Ludlow or just treat yourselves to some of its foodie culture. Bridgnorth is charming; wander along the River Severn or hop on board a Severn Valley Railway steam train from here, stopping at some lovely stations. Well-behaved dogs on leads can ride, too. Or just recharge in the abundant green spaces, striding forth with man’s best friends on fantastic walking trails.

Lovely comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings. Lots of places to visit quite close by but we were happy to be off the beaten track for some peace and quiet. Would not hesitate to recommend this home from home.

Easily the best cottage that we have ever stayed at, it was superb inside and out and surrounded by fabulous, unspoilt countryside. Can't see how anybody booking this cottage will not want to go back again, as soon as possible - loved it.

Butterfly cottage is in an amazingly remote spot. It really feels like the middle of nowhere. Spectacular bird life, and not far from interesting little towns. Roads and footpaths can be challenging due to potholes and barbed wire, but its a comfortable place to return to and sit in the sun on good days.

Cottage is set in a very rural location in lovely countryside within the grounds of the owners house. The cottage was equipped with everything you could need for a stay although it is well away from shops which is not a problem if you prepare.

Butterfly Cottage is a perfect, peaceful getaway. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and on stunning grounds, our dogs had the best time, as did we!
