You can tell that a lot of hard work has gone into the building & continues to be well maintained. The views were beautiful & the sunset was amazing too! It was very clean & homely. The owners are a lovely couple, very welcoming & we would love to visit again
Libby & Pete - June 2025
It made a great base for us to explore the Shropshire Hills. The interior layout is a little eclectic but very practical, and had lots of space for two adults and two kids. We loved having games and puzzles provided and the map coffee table. We would love to visit again.

Enjoyed long walks from the door.The EV charger was a bonus enabling us to start our return to Scotland on a full charge.We would recommend.
John - September 2024
The barn is in a stunning location with beautiful panoramic views. It was spotless & well equipped. Tim was there to meet us & showed us how everything worked in the barn & then left us to enjoy our holiday, but was on hand if we needed anything. I would certainly stay again.

THE PROPERTY
Bishop's Castle 1.5 miles or 30 mins walk across the fields.
A superb, detached stone cottage in a rural location next to the owners home less than two miles from the popular market town of Bishop's Castle in the heart of Shropshire.
This delightful cottage offers stunning unspoilt views across the valley and access onto the Shropshire Way, and it provides excellent accommodation for families and friends to enjoy the area.
Guests can enter into the property to find a useful, heated drying room, ideal for drying off wet coats and boots after a bracing walk in the beautiful surrounding area.
With split-level, upside down living, the cottage feels bright and airy inside, entering into a double height entrance hall with staircase up to the mezzanine kitchen and dining area with high ceiling.
A further short flight of stairs leads into the L-shaped sitting room with balustrade overlooking the kitchen, giving a feeling of openness to the living space.
On the ground floor are a bedroom with a king-size zip/link bed (available as two twin beds on request) and a family bathroom with bath and electronic-controlled rainfall shower.
Four steps lead down from here to a welcoming double room with an en-suite shower room.
Outside there is a raised decking area which is the perfect location to sit and relax in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside whilst absorbing the breathtaking views.
At night, the sky comes alive with stars due to the lack of city lights and the raised decking area is the ideal location from which to lie back and enjoy the spectacle, perhaps with a glass of wine.
A footpath runs past the cottage leading onto the Shropshire Way and on into Bishop's Castle, or west and linking up with the nearby Offa's Dyke Path.
This lovely cottage has been well equipped and furnished throughout to provide a delightful holiday location all year round.
