Behind the cottage, the scenery continues and with various public footpaths and walking trails on your doorstep so you are really spoilt for choice. This gorgeous cottage has been lovingly decorated with a combination of farmhouse collections as well as contemporary art and designer fabrics. Combine this with the backdrop and being so close to nature and the outdoors and it’s the perfect home to come back to after a day out exploring.

As well as the cosy enclosed back garden patio, the spacious front garden has seating to provide a relaxing space for guests to chill out and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding area, overlooking the distinctive, humped hill. This hill roared forth from a volcano some 650 million years ago, and is now is a very popular spot for adventure seekers to explore the many trails. With a panoramic view at the top, it’s well worth the hike up, so just pack your water bottle!

For the keen golfer, the local club is 3 miles. Shrewsbury, the ancient medieval market town, is only 15 minutes’ drive away.
