Property code: 59293

Built over 300 years ago, this stylishly updated property offers spacious accommodation for couples and smaller families exploring the idyllic countryside of Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Powys. Within easy reach of the Welsh border, the imaginatively converted former stables makes an ideal getaway for four guests, and features stylish interiors with exposed timber beams, a wood burner, and tasteful furnishings throughout. Perfect for cyclists, walkers, nature lovers and history buffs, this beautifully reimagined hideaway lies in a picturesque village just a few miles from the historic town of Ludlow.

The welcoming lounge has plenty of seating, timber beams, a TV and a wood burner, offering an ideal space to settle back in the evenings to chat or watch a movie, while the handsome dining room is perfect for enjoying special family meals. A couple of steps lead up to the thoughtfully arranged kitchen with a stylish breakfast table by the French doors. Upstairs, you will find an invigorating bathroom and two cheery bedrooms: a pretty double and a delightful twin, both with low beams. From the kitchen, French doors open onto a charming patio with garden furniture, providing a relaxing spot for dining alfresco on a sunny afternoon. The large garden has ample space for children to run and play in peace.

This fantastic getaway sits on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Richards Castle, about half a mile from the ruins of the castle itself. The area offers a wide choice of exhilarating walks and bike trails, with the River Teme, the Mary Webb Trail, The Shropshire Way, and Offa’s Dyke Path all close by. Ludlow (4 miles) has some fantastic restaurants and pubs, alongside a range of festivals and events throughout the year.

Lovely cottage with very pet friendly garden. Close to Ludlow which is definitely worth a visit, forest walks and NT properties. The only thing I would say is take your own bath towels as found ones supplied are a little small.
