Nestled down a country lane, only 1 mile away from the English and Welsh border. Visit Shropshire's Lake District, Ellesmere (5 miles), with its many meres to explore. Take a scenic drive into The Clwydian Range AONB, stopping off at the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (9.5 miles), or take a walk around National Trust Chirk Castle (8 miles) or Erddig (11 miles). For those who like outdoor adventure, kayak and paddleboard down the River Dee or Llangollen Canal (13 miles), whilst Alderford Lake (15 miles) is always a fun-fuelled day for all the family! Authentic market towns Oswestry (9 miles) and Whitchurch (16 miles) offer an abundance of shops, eateries and local pubs. Shrewsbury Prison (25 miles) is well worth a visit, with many fun activities on offer. Brush up on your Roman history, take a riverboat ride or visit the zoo in the City of Chester (25 miles). Alternatively, try and catch a glimpse of a Hollywood movie star at a Wrexham AFC football game (15 miles).

 This delightful, semi-detached barn conversion offers a peaceful rural retreat with loved ones in the stunning Shropshire countryside. Entering through the front of the barn, you are welcomed by a large, open-plan kitchen and living area. Comfortable leather sofas surround the electric, wall-mounted log effect fire, perfect for getting cosy whilst watching a classic Sunday afternoon film on the TV and DVD player. The kitchen is fully equipped for easy cooking, with a dishwasher to avoid arguments around washing up. Gather around the quaint wooden dining table in the corner, perfect for tomorrow’s adventure planning and perhaps a competitive family game of cards. On the ground level, you’ll find a wheelchair-access twin bedroom, complete with a TV and en-suite wet room. The wet room is easily accessible with a shower seat, grab rails and a WC. Upstairs, you’ll find the other two bedrooms: a master double with a TV and an en-suite with a shower over the bath and a WC, as well as a small single bedroom suitable for a child.

Come summer or winter, there is no doubt you’ll spend your evenings outdoors in your own private, enclosed patio – an ideal space for the children and dogs. Stunning countryside views stretch out in front of you, and as the night draws in, the luxury hot tub allows you to soak under the stars with minimal light pollution in the area. For al fresco dining, make use of the outside dining and seating area, with a parasol for shade on those sunny afternoons.

Had a lovely time away at this cottage - it had everything we needed. 2 adults, 3 kids and a dog. Loved Ellesmere and Ty Mawr country park and eat in the Boathouse and Red Lion in Ellesmere - both highly recommended. Would also highly recommend Woodpecker Cottage - thank you.
