About this property
GOOSEPOND, pet friendly, character holiday cottage in Wistanstow
A beautiful brick-built cottage situated down a small country lane, on the outskirts of the small hamlet of Woolston near to the village of Wistanstow, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and can sleep two people in one bedroom
Goosepond is a beautiful brick-built cottage situated down a small country lane, on the outskirts of the small hamlet of Woolston near to the village of Wistanstow, in the heart of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and can sleep two people in one super king-size bedroom (zip/link). There is a family bathroom. The rest of the property contains an open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with woodburning stove. To the outside of the property there is off road parking for one car in a communal parking area and a patio area with furniture. Goosepond is an ideal romantic retreat for those looking to explore Shropshire.
Amenities: Oil underfloor heating and woodburning stove. Electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine with pods, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, TV with Freeview, Netflix, WiFi, selection of books, games and DVDs. Fuel, power and wood for stove inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Travel cot, highchair and stairgate on request. Off road parking in communal parking area for 1 car. Front private terrace area with furniture and BBQ. Two well-behaved pets welcome. Sorry, no smoking. Shop 2 miles, pub 1.3 miles. Note: There are two steps to access the property.
Region: A E Houseman once wrote that Shropshire was "the quietest place under the sun" and today the county remains something of a rural idyll, recognised as one of the least crowded and most peaceful regions in England.
Town: The town of Craven Arms is located between the medieval town of Ludlow and Church Stretton. The historic towns of Bishops Castle, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are a short drive away, and offer magnificent castles, riverside walks, shops, pubs, restaurants, theatres and a variety of festivals.
