Cottage in Shropshire

About this property

Tucked away amongst the Shropshire Hills with breathtaking views of the Clun Valley, this handcrafted, eco friendly masterpiece is designed for couples seeking a unique, fairytale getaway in nature. Made from a sweet chestnut tree using environmentally conscious construction methods and materials, this rustic cabin truly is a friend of nature. It s set amongst an organic farm, surrounded by acres of farmland and nature. Pick up Offa s Dyke path from your doorstop or explore one of the many footpaths in the area. Close to the Wales and Shropshire border, when you re not immersing yourself in this stunning setting, you can easily explore the stunning counties of Powys and Herefordshire. For local amenities, you have the charming villages and bustling towns of Clun (6.5 miles), Bishops Castle (8.5 miles), Newtown (11 miles), Knighton (14 miles) and Ludlow (24 miles), each offering an array of pubs, restaurants and independent shops. Your journey into this magical stay starts as you meander down the handcrafted wooden pathway to your private veranda, stopping to marvel at the stunning panorama in front of you. Stepping inside, the character of this tiny house welcomes you with open arms and has everything you need for a comfortable yet unforgettable stay. The traditional wood burner takes centre stage offering both warmth and a charming cooking facility. Alongside a one ring gas stovetop, fridge and sink, you have ample equipment to cook up a romantic meal for two around the folding dining table. When your day comes to an end, slip under the soft organic bed linen and wool blankets for warmth and enjoy a great night's sleep in this quirky double bed, under what once was a stunning sweet chestnut tree. Wake up with a morning coffee in bed and through the charming circular windows, observe livestock slowly graze in the distant fields. Swing open the cabin doors letting the morning sun shine through, before jumping into the private bathroom with a hot shower, eco toilet and basin. Dining alfresco breakfast, lunch and dinner, your private terrace offers an abundance of space to cook on the BBQ, eat, relax and simply enjoy this magnificent setting. Hang up the hammock and get lost in your favourite book as the sound of birdsong and nature accompanies you. Observe the incredible sunsets and sunrises over the horizon and with zero minimal light pollution in the area, you really feel the magic of this special place as the stars and moon come out to shine.
