About this property
Perched in Frankton near Ellesmere in Shropshire is this superb, two-bedroom detached log cabin, Brynallt Country Park. Handmade from Western Red Cedar and enjoying a fantastic location set within its own five-acres in the grounds of the grand country estate of Brynallt Country Park, the property makes a fantastic dwelling for two couples or a family of four looking to explore this beautiful region. Park up in one of two off-road parking spaces, before unloading your bags and stepping into your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you can look forward to whipping up culinary delights in the well-equipped kitchen with the help of the double electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher ensuring a fuss-free clean up! Settle down at the dining table where you can savour a delicious meal and discuss plans for the days ahead. If the weather is nice, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco out on your own private terrace, followed by a refreshing walk around the five-acre paddock. As the evening cools, retire to the plush leather sofa and snuggle up in front of your favourite film, courtesy of the TV. After a day of exploring, soothe tired muscles with an indulgent soak in the double-ended bath, before popping on your pyjamas and catching you rest in one of two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size with TV, and en-suite shower room and a double with TV. Kick-start your day with a revitalising shower, followed by a steaming cup of coffee before setting out for the day. Head over to the town of Ellesmere, where you will find a delightful selection of amenities, including pubs and restaurants where you can grab a bite to eat on those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking, well-stocked supermarkets for picking up your favourite ingredients to impress your guests with fine cuisine and the picturesque Ellesmere Wharf where you can watch the boats and the world go by.

If walking is your thing, be sure to visit Chirk where you can find the Start of Maelor Way, as well as the 82-mile Offas Dyke, sure to satisfy any outdoor enthusiasts. Chirk is also home to a fascinating 700-year-old castle which houses armour and is set in gloriously manicured gardens.

No light pollution so very dark at night which makes falling asleep really easy. A lovely cosy cabin which all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay. Amenities within easy driving distance (shops etc) . Some very interesting places to visit nearby too and good food. Lovely friendly residents in the local areas and Sally Anne the owner of the cabin is a a pleasure to meet. There is another cabin located at the rear of this property but it is slightly offset and unobtrusive to your stay. Lots of birds and squirrels to keep you entertained if you don't venture out. A very enjoyable holiday.

It is in a great location for many trips and walks both in Shropshire and North Wales. Also in close proximity to pubs, takeaways, restaurants and supermarket. The verandah was a relaxing place to sit, whatever the weather, to take in the incredible views. The lodge was well equipped with everything we required and more. However, the Sykes listing would benefit from an update as there are now improved smart tv's and no dvd players (don't buy dvds like me!) We had a fabulous week and would love to return one day.
