Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, mentioning it is 'incredibly clean and tidy' and 'spotless'. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The location is highly valued for its beauty and tranquility, with guests loving the 'idyllic' views and peacefulness. Some mention the challenge of narrow lanes and a bumpy track, but this does not significantly detract from the overall appreciation of the setting.

Comfort is a highlight, with guests finding the roundhouses 'luxurious and spacious', the beds 'comfortable', and the living spaces 'cozy', especially with the wood stoves lit. The property provides a comfortable stay for families and groups.

The facilities are well-received, with a 'fully equipped kitchen', 'hot lovely showers', and additional amenities like a pizza oven and fire pit. Some guests noted the lack of showers in the roundhouses as a minor inconvenience, but overall the facilities meet guests' needs.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the starter pack of treats and special touches like pumpkins and prosecco for guests. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed with every stay.

About this property

The Property:

6 miles from Bishop's Castle.

Located near Bishop's Castle Shropshire on the border of Wales is a unique and interesting property featuring 2 quirky roundhouses which are located on either side of the main building.

Rolling Hills is situated in 50 acres of green fields with a babbling stream at the bottom of the valley.

Rolling Hills is an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life as there is no noise or light pollution and is ideal for families and groups to enjoy a break in the English countryside or that Romantic week end away with that special someone snuggled up in front of the wood burner looking up through the clear dome at the star lit sky from inside the comforts of the round house.

This property comes with stunning panoramic views of the south Shropshire hills with Offa's Dyke at the end of the field and Bishop's Castle in the distance, an ideal location for hill walking or cycle rides on quiet country lanes.

Rolling Hills has a rather unusual layout with two identical roundhouses in separate buildings either side of the main communal living area. The roundhouses, Ash and Maple are astoundingly different with only natural light coming through a large clear dome in the centre of the roof, lighting up what is an eccentric, fascinating open plan living area.

The only major difference between the two is the type of wood on the walls, Ash being clad with ash wood and Maple being clad with maple wood. Both pods are almost identical inside, finished with large contemporary king size beds, and two Futons which are ideal for children up to the age of 14, a sleeping bag and pillow are provided for the Futons. The rooms also have en suite basin and WC, comfortable reclining chairs, a wood burner and a 42 inch Smart TV, creating the perfect living space.

The communal living area is nothing short of spectacular with two spacious wet rooms and an immaculate kitchen diner, one double bedroom with large king sized bed and smart TV, one twin bedroom with 2 single beds and smart TV and a large Cinema room with 75 inch smart TV with enough comfortable seating for up to 14 people. There is also a Games room with a dart board, a combi football/pool table and more comfortable seating for enjoying stunning views down the valley, making this the perfect spot for the group to come together for relaxation and plan the activities of the day.

The attractive town of Bishop's Castle is surrounded by the South West Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town offers a weekly market and an excellent variety of shops, pubs and places to eat. It is famous for its annual Real Ale Festival, Tandem Triathlon and regular festivals and fairs, including Party in the Park and the particularly popular, Michaelmas Fair. The town is ideally placed for walking and touring the Welsh Marches, rural Shropshire and North Herefordshire, while the fascinating and well-known towns of Montgomery, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are all within easy reach. You can enjoy the numerous nearby attractions, including Powis Castle, the Severn Valley Railway and walks along Offa’s Dyke and The Shropshire Way.

    Everything has been thought of and plenty of indoor and outdoor space for everyone. The kids particularly liked the games table, dartboard and cinema room. The beds were all very comfortable and the wet room showers were lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and we were grateful for the 2 fridges and the huge dining table.

  • Illona

    The most peaceful and relaxing place we have ever been too. The place was a good 10 minute drive from anywhere but we didn't mind and loved this. It was nice to spend lots of quality time with the children going on bug hunts and exploring the surrounding area. The hammocks where a major hit and used everyday by both the adults and the children. Only quarms we had where the kettles needed descaling that was it really any issues we had where addressed right away after a quick message. We will most probably be returning at some point in the future.

  • Susan

    It takes a while to get anywhere because of the narrow roads but we thought it was worth it because the location was beautiful and so peaceful.
