About this property

Quarry House is a delightful, detached stone cottage, located in an idyllic and peaceful location on a quiet country lane, close to the small village of Nantmawr. The village itself is just a few minutes journey away from the historic market town of Oswestry, Shropshire, a lovely town with a wide range of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and bars. The owners have lovingly restored this former quarry workman’s cottage to encompass all the character of the past whilst embracing modern living to provide comfortable and cosy holiday accommodation for up to four guests. Throughout the property you’ll find traditional features including a stone wall, oak beams and floors, alongside the trappings of a modern, high quality, newly renovated property. The ground floor living room hosts a wood burning stove which can be enjoyed for the prefect night in, relaxing on the sofa. Next to the living room is the snug, offering further comfortable seating for those lazy days with French doors opening on to the patio area and private garden, complete with outdoor furniture giving you an ideal space to sit out and relax. The kitchen diner is very well equipped with a modern fitted kitchen, offering an electric double oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge (inc. ice box) and is complete with an oak dining table with four chairs. Off the kitchen sits the utility room containing a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a cloakroom with WC and hand basin. Stairs lead up from the living room to the spacious first floor bedrooms, both of which are en-suite and are equipped with contemporary furniture to store all your personal effects. Bedroom one is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room, with a gable window offering views out towards the countryside. Bedroom two offers an en-suite bathroom, and you’ll find a luxurious super king-size bed and plenty of unique storage space for clothing.

Oswestry is a market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England.

    Very helpful owners and lovely welcome pack on arrival.

  • Alison

    Very cosy. Added bonus of 2 sitting rooms. Owner, Zoe, met us not long after we arrived. Very nice lady indeed. Milk, wine and chocolate biscuits left. Log burner was laid, with a basket full of logs left. We only used this once and was roasting. Kitchen is well laid out and has all the utensils you need. The utility room is great and having a washer and dryer a plus . Spotlessly clean Our only negatives because we are quite particular is:- Towels too small, bath sheets would have been preferred and a full size hand towel as those little towels don’t wrap round the head for hair washing purposes Pillows need replacing., had to use the cushions on bed for extra support underneath them. Would benefit a proper shower over the bath, our fellow guests used our shower instead . Cottage sits on a very quiet lane amongst a small number of other properties. Delightful babbling Brook just the other side of the boundary. Grounds are very well maintained and laid with stone. We did love our week here, and was sad to leave. Despite the few negatives would thoroughly recommend Quarry Cottage.
