About this property

The Oaks is a substantial, detached country holiday house in a tranquil position in the South Shropshire hills, one of the UK's designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Situated on the side of the Long Mynd, this luxury self catering rental enjoys stunning views over the surrounding hills.

The Oaks has been refurbished to a high standard and offers contemporary, spacious and light accommodation. The garden is approximately two acres and is surrounded by post and rail fencing and hedges. Two large, sunny stone patios with teak furniture face west and south with delightful views over Shropshire's Caradoc and Lawley Hills.

Additional Information:

Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge), however we do ask that your dogs are restricted to the main hallway, utility room, kitchen and dining room. Thank you for your co-operation. Please be aware, dogs must be kept on leads whilst walking The Long Mynd. This is National Trust land where sheep roam freely.

Two travel cots and one highchair available on request.

To hire a hot tub for your stay, please contact Martin at the Shrewsbury Hot Tub company on 07989 036708. We kindly ask guests to bringing their own beach towels when hiring the hot tub.

Barbecue and large Kadai fire bowl for cooking and camp fire.

The AGA runs all year at the Oaks. During exceptional hot summer spells (which are difficult to predict more than a couple of days in advance!) the kitchen can feel uncomfortably hot during the day. The best way to deal with this is to open doors and windows to give a cross flow of air. The house is situated on an open hill side and even on summer evenings the AGA can give a pleasant background warmth.

Whilst the house has a Neff electric hob, double oven and microwave, the AGA gives increased cooking capacity and a 'special cooking' experience. Therefore the AGA will be alight when you arrive at the Oaks unless you advise us otherwise.

Catering service provided by Batchcott & Waller. Three course local dinner or fridge and freezer options.

    Although unable to take up our booked holiday due to unforeseen circumstances this year we would like to say we have stayed at the Oaks regularly over 15 years and we love the house setting and it's tranquility.

    A lovely house in a beautiful spot with superb views. The place was comfortably furnished, well equipped and with enough space for even a large part of people not to get under each other’s feet. There are walks literally from the front door, handy shops in nearby Church Stretton and the beautiful towns of Shrewsbury and Ludlow are just a modest car journey away.
