Holiday cottage with a hot tub in Beguildy, Shropshire

Accommodation details

Surrounded by the glorious countryside of the Shropshire Hills, this imaginatively updated barn conversion sits on the Welsh side of the border with England and makes a wonderful hideaway for families and friends. With ample space for up to five guests, the property – originally a farm byre and stable – features timber beams, high vaulted ceilings, exposed stonework, underfloor heating, a welcoming wood burner and a bubbling hot tub to luxuriate in as you take in unforgettable rural views.

Enjoying an idyllic location within thousands of acres of common land, this tranquil retreat is a fabulous base for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. Natural light streams into the tastefully furnished open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which has delightful views over the garden. With a cosy wood burner and comfortable seating, the lounge is a perfect spot for curling up with a good book or movie at the end of a memorable day.

Over by a picture window, the handsome dining table is ideal for sharing family feasts which you can rustle up in the elegantly arranged country-style kitchen. The property also offers a stylish shower room and two beautifully decorated bedrooms: a spacious double with a TV and en-suite shower room, and a charming family room comprising a double bed with a single bed situated on a quirky mezzanine level.

Outside, the private garden has slate paths, a hot tub, fire pit, and a decked furnished area, offering a lovely spot for sitting back in the evening to take in beautiful sunsets and stargaze into the night. Sitting along the south-western edge of the Shropshire Hills, this is a fantastic base for following Glyndwr's Way and the Offa's Dyke Path.

Perfect for exploring the Teme Valley, local attractions include the Spaceguard Centre, Clun Castle, Gregynog Hall and Rhos Fiddle Nature Reserve, all within 18 miles.
