The Gardener's Cottage

About this property

A traditional, semi-detached cottage, adjoining the owner’s home on their working equestrian farm, on the edge of the tiny Shropshire village of Llanyblodwel. Situated close to two other holiday properties, in view of the stunning Tanat Valley, this attractive cottage has been superbly converted to offer a wonderful holiday retreat. Set in a walled garden and originally part of the gardener's bothy, guests will find two comfortable bedrooms, with the ground floor complete with its own en-suite bathroom and the first floor with a luxury family wet room.

The sitting room has large picture windows offering extensive views across the grounds to the stunning countryside beyond. Outside, the property has its own patio area with furniture, perfect for an alfresco feast in the sunshine, and a shared lawned garden with children's play area, both with attractive rural views. The sleepy little village of Llanyblodwel has an ancient Grade I listed church and a 15th century inn, and sits close to the border with Wales, making this Shropshire cottage a perfect base for discovering this beautiful area. Within easy reach is the popular Offas Dyke path, whilst footpaths lead from the doorstep and superb mountain biking, golf and fishing all await nearby. Spend the day in the nearby market town of Oswestry, the largest in Shropshire, with its wonderful boutique shops and excellent restaurants and cafes. There are plenty of National Trust properties to visit nearby, and with the 10 museums of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site to explore, you are certain to soak up the culture and history of this spectacular area. Whatever you get up to during your Shropshire holiday, this cottage is the ideal retreat to return to.
