About this property

Secluded Detached Stable / Barn Conversion On The Border Of Shropshire And Wales

The Stable is a detached hideaway nestling on the side of a small, secluded and peaceful valley in rural North Shropshire looking out across the rolling Welsh hills which rise to the Berwyn Mountains beyond.
The sympathetic conversion from a small, traditional stable block has retained its original looks on the outside whilst on the inside it is a modern and well-equipped cottage. The accommodation is light and airy in the warm summer months and the under-floor heating in the kitchen and shower room. There is a wood-burner and electrical heating in the lounge that provides a snug and cosy atmosphere when the weather turns chilly. The Stable has beautiful surroundings and has all the facilities needed for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
Situated at the edge of the owners’ large, landscaped garden and surrounded by woodland and farmland, the property is approached down a private, tarmacked track where there is parking area for vehicles only a few metres from the property. It has its own private, neatly-fenced and hedged garden with several trees and a variety of plants, patio pots and hanging baskets. A secluded patio area, with table and chairs, provides a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views to the hills. It is an ideal place for bird-watching with a large variety of birds visiting the bird-feeders, which can be seen from the patio or the sitting room. The Welsh hills provide a stunning backdrop for spectacular sunsets and the nights can provide crystal clear conditions for star gazing.
There are numerous and varied local walks from the doorstep into the surrounding woodland and open hills giving views into Wales, Shropshire and beyond. There are also many walks in the Shropshire and Welsh countryside that can be accessed by travelling short distances from the property. Information and maps provided in The Stable give details of these walks and many other places to visit.

Lovely place to stay surrounded by nature. Nick and Jean were very welcoming and communicative. Spotless cleaning and lovely details such as fresh flowers made us feel welcome. Lots of places to visit and hiking routes nearby. Highly recommended. We're looking forward to coming back! Thanks for everything

The Stable was a fantastic stay, really clean and the hosts were really welcoming. The Stables is secluded but well worth the drive to it. It was so quiet and peaceful and the log fire a really welcome bonus that made for a very cosy stay.

The Stable is without doubt one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. The location is absolutely beautiful, and even during Storm Dave it felt wonderfully cosy with the wood burner glowing away. When the storm passed, we were treated to blue skies and wildlife all around—so peaceful and calming. I could quite happily live here.Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and the cottage itself was immaculate. The host was also very friendly and welcoming.

I had a wonderful day at the stable. Jean was super helpful when I arrived. The gorgeous cake was a very welcome surprise after a long journey. I sat on the doorstep watching the birds fly in and around the amazing garden. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough!

The location is remote, which means it is very quiet and you can see beautiful starry skies. The cottage is cosy and fully furnished. Be aware that it is a split-level design (if you have knee problems like we do). The owners are very welcoming.

Amazing stay over Easter

We loved our stay at The Stable for 2 nights. The views were amazing as well as the peace and quiet. The layout of the Stable was great also. Would definitely recommend this place for any couple wanting some peace and quiet. The owners were also welcoming and friendly.
