Located near the English-Welsh border, this idyllic countryside home sets you up for a rewarding walking holiday exploring local nature spots such as the Shropshire Hills AONB (3.5 miles). It’s in a gorgeous setting surrounded by fantastic views, to ensure you go home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated – even if you never leave the house! This charming detached home sleeps up to eight guests, making it fantastic for a celebratory family trip or holiday among outdoorsy friends. You can even bring your pets, with two doggies welcome to join you. Enter this lovely stone dwelling and leave your jackets and boots in the porch before stepping into the open-plan living area, a beautifully designed space with a modern kitchen and lounge. The breakfast bar is great for perching with coffees and snacks, while the corner sofa invites you to lounge indulgently and admire the vistas of the nature reserve, visible through the floor-to-ceiling doors. Adjacent to the sofa is a spectacular dining area set within a lovely conservatory with wooden supports. A separate snug, featuring a wood burner and a large Smart TV, is ideal for cosy film nights with plenty of popcorn (and beers for the adults). You’ll love kicking back in the south-facing garden, equipped with plenty of furniture, a fire pit, and a charcoal BBQ for those fresh-air banquets. Children (and probably adults) will love the games annexe, which boasts a sofa, a pool table, table football and a dartboard for hours of fun. From your doorstep, walk the dogs up to the lovely Roundton Hill Nature Reserve (500 metres), a beauty spot with a Bronze Age fort and a summit offering fantastic panoramic views. You’ll have a pub, shops and a takeaway 2 miles away in Church Stoke, and more options for eating and shopping in Montgomery (6.5 miles). This attractive market town also hosts a farmers market on Thursdays and is home to some Norman castle ruins that you can visit. Keen to immerse yourself in nature? Fishing, horse riding, and downhill mountain biking trails are available within a 10-mile radius.
