About this property
Tucked away in the heart of Bishop’s Castle in Shropshire is this semi-detached cottage, Laurgeths House. Welcoming eight guests, as well as two four-legged friends, Laurgeths House boasts enclosed outdoor spaces, open-plan living and stunning interior so that friends and family alike can come together to relish the perfect retreat to Shropshire. Enter the property after ambling through a spacious garden into the charming kitchen/diner, allow the designated chef to get to grips with a fantastic range of appliances as you settle down at the dining table; pop open a bottle of fizz and toast to a fantastic getaway before tucking into a feast. Alternatively, during warmer months step outside to a private patio and decking to enjoy alfresco mealtimes in the peaceful backdrop of the Shropshire Hills AONB. Retreat to a homely sitting room and curl up in the warmth of a roaring woodburning stove, click on the TV and bask in some light entertainment with your loved ones close. When the evening draws to a close, ascend the staircase and complete your routine in the family bathroom, take a soak in the bath or fresh up with a revitalising shower before drawing back the covers of a sumptuous double or single bed and drift off into a refreshing night’s embrace. Begin your morning at Montgomery Castle and admire the ruins of a 12th-century Norman structure, traverse the stunning landscapes of the Shropshire Hills AONB where an array of walking and cycling trails can be peppered throughout or spend the day at the Land of Lost Content Museum. If you are a keen walker why not explore the long-distance footpath loosely following the Wales–England border of Offa's Dyke Path. By night, venture to The Three Tuns Inn pub and brewery, located across the road from Laurgeths House, offering delicious meals, a variety of real ale, and a history-rich visit, referred to as the 'beating heart' of the area. Travel by car to the charming town of Shrewsbury to discover Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery and Shrewsbury Castle in addition to a plethora of pubs, restaurants, cafes, and independent stores where you can pick up a souvenir or two. From your doorstep you are also well-positioned to journey to the bustling city of Birmingham, boasting plenty to fill your days, making Laurgeths House the perfect spot to begin your Shropshire retreat.
The South West Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surround the charming market town of Bishop's Castle. The historic town has a weekly market as well as a wide selection of stores, bars, and restaurants. It is well-known for hosting regular festivals and fairs, including Party in the Park and the immensely well-liked Michaelmas Fair, as well as the yearly Real Ale Festival and Tandem Triathlon. The town is conveniently located for travelling by foot through the Welsh Marches, rural Shropshire, and North Herefordshire, as well as nearby Montgomery, Ludlow, and Shrewsbury, three fascinating and well-known towns. Several surrounding attractions, such as Powis Castle, the Severn Valley Railway, and hikes along Offa's Dyke and The Shropshire Way, are also available for your enjoyment.
