1 Bed Lodge in Ashford Bowdler

About this property

An impressive Shropshire lodge with glorious views out over a lake, this contemporary hideaway makes a magnificent retreat for couples. Situated on a working farm near Woofferton, 4 miles from Ludlow, the one-bedroom abode sleeps two guests within stylish accommodation with an outstanding finish. While away an afternoon in Ludlow, meandering through the independent shops, walking around the castle and pausing for afternoon tea. Venture 5.5 miles to find yourselves in the Shropshire Hills, where you will discover a plethora of scenic walks and trails. Climb Cleehill Summit, 9 miles away, for panoramic views. Head out along a section of the Shropshire Way, which follows a figure-of-eight route for almost 140 miles through spectacular scenery. Enjoy a leafy walk in beautiful Mortimer Forest, 7 miles away. The National Trust’s grand Georgian Berrington Hall (5 miles) is also a splendid place to while away an afternoon.

Take a moment to admire the exceptional lakeside location before crossing the deck and entering the single-storey lodge via the huge sliding doors. Step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to take a seat on the sofa and enjoy the views again in comfort. Keep the doors to the deck open on fine days so you can wander in and out at your leisure. There is also a Smart TV in here, so you can cuddle up together in front of your favourite shows. The attractive kitchen area, which has a dishwasher, features all you will need to help you conjure up delicious meals for two with the produce you have sourced. There is a breakfast bar, where you can relax with a cup of coffee and gaze out at the scenery. An elegant table and chairs make the perfect spot for your romantic meals. The adjoining bedroom also captures the astounding views through its floor-to-ceiling glass patio doors. Slide these open on warm summer mornings to bring in a fresh breeze. The bedroom includes ample storage and a second Smart TV to allow you a slow start to the day if you wish. There is also an en-suite shower room.

Savour the scenery and the serenity from your private deck. Watch the wildlife on the water as you enjoy a cold drink at the bistro table. Cook out on the Kadai fire pit/BBQ, then relish its warmth as the sun goes down and the stars appear. There is private parking for two cars.
