About this property
This romantic retreat offers a fairytale-style escape to a cosy cottage, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Hidden within 10 acres of undisturbed private woodland, Bull Hollow Cottage is the perfect place to find peace and tranquillity.
Nestled in the hilly Shropshire countryside, with its wonderful garden and stream flowing along the bottom of the garden, Bull Hollow Cottage provides the perfect opportunity to truly get back to nature.
Beautifully renovated into luxury holiday accommodation set over two floors, with the ground floor comprising a spacious kitchen and comfortable sitting room with wood burning stove and large bay windows, providing the ideal place to relax and unwind. On the first floor you will find a cosy double bedroom, modern bathroom and a snug room fitted with a dressing space and a second television area, as well as an electric wood burning stove effect fire.
Outside the large garden leads into surrounding woodland with a stream running through and guests can relax and enjoy the sound of running water from the garden furniture and sun loungers provided. Wander into the surrounding woodland via a pathway through the woods which runs parallel with the stream and is clearly visible once you have crossed the small bridge from the garden.

The cottage and the location are absolutely beautiful. A perfect relaxing holiday for us and our dog. This was the second time we visited, usually never returning somewhere a second time (so many places to see), but this place was so nice we just had to go back again...

Bull Hollow is a really tranquil and relaxing place to stay. It has the most magical garden – which you really could make more of in the advertising for the cottage – and its own private woodland, which our dog found endlessly fascinating. The house is comfortable and well equipped, with the notable exception of the lack of a washing machine, which we found very odd (there are several spaces where one could have been installed) and a serious disadvantage. Apart from that, we had a splendid time and would thoroughly recommend the cottage.
