This charming romantic bolthole is located right on the border between England and Wales, and offers secluded rural accommodation for some quality time with your partner and pet. It’s a renovated barn with space for two, where you can explore the 44-acre grounds with your whiskered companion before indulging in a Jacuzzi bath. Explore stretches of the historical Offa’s Dyke path (4 miles) with your pet in tow, followed by a pub dinner or a candlelit meal for two and prepared in your cosy nest.
A nostalgic atmosphere awaits at this cosy holiday home, which is bursting with traditional features including original beams and pretty mullioned windows. The sweet kitchen has attractive wooden units and a farmhouse-style layout with a dining table in the middle – ideal for those dinners for two. In the lounge, you can admire pretty views through the patio door and kick back with a film and a glass of wine or two in the evening. The peaceful garden is a great spot for losing yourself in a novel on the patio while your pet rolls around on the lawn and your other half pops the kettle on for an afternoon cuppa and buttery Welsh cakes.
When it’s time to explore your surroundings, take the pet on a stroll to the dog-friendly pub 1 mile away. Roundton Hill National Nature Reserve (1.5 miles) has an abundance of lovely trails and spectacular views from its vantage point (please keep your dog on a lead because of the grazing cattle). The towns of Welshpool and Newton, both 10 miles away, are the place to go if you fancy wandering round some shops, picking up some local produce and enjoying a meal out.
