Description
Bishop's Castle 1.5 miles or 30 mins walk across the fields.
A superb, detached stone cottage in a rural location next to the owners home less than two miles from the popular market town of Bishop's Castle in the heart of Shropshire.
This delightful cottage offers stunning unspoilt views across the valley and access onto the Shropshire Way, and it provides excellent accommodation for families and friends to enjoy the area.
Guests can enter into the property to find a useful, heated drying room, ideal for drying off wet coats and boots after a bracing walk in the beautiful surrounding area.
With split-level, upside down living, the cottage feels bright and airy inside, entering into a double height entrance hall with staircase up to the mezzanine kitchen and dining area with high ceiling.
A further short flight of stairs leads into the L-shaped sitting room with balustrade overlooking the kitchen, giving a feeling of openness to the living space.
On the ground floor are a bedroom with a king-size zip/link bed (available as two twin beds on request) and a family bathroom with bath and electronic-controlled rainfall shower.
Four steps lead down from here to a welcoming double room with an en-suite shower room.
Outside there is a raised decking area which is the perfect location to sit and relax in the peace and tranquillity of the countryside whilst absorbing the breathtaking views.
At night, the sky comes alive with stars due to the lack of city lights and the raised decking area is the ideal location from which to lie back and enjoy the spectacle, perhaps with a glass of wine.
A footpath runs past the cottage leading onto the Shropshire Way and on into Bishop's Castle, or west and linking up with the nearby Offa's Dyke Path.
This lovely cottage has been well equipped and furnished throughout to provide a delightful holiday location all year round.

What guests are saying
Bishop Castle barn is a wonderful place to stay set in the idilic Shropshire countryside very close to the Welsh border.
A very well presented property with all amenities in the local Bishop Castle village. I will definitely stay stay there again.
Highly recommend a stay.
as a family of 3 [2 adults + 1 teenager] we enjoyed a really comfortable stay over the new year period. Host was attentive (but not intrusive) providing clear joining instructions and responding promptly to queries pre / during our stay. Cottage has all the modern amenities you'd expect, WI-FI service was excellent despite semi remote location and as for the vistas - breathtaking. Country side walk to BC takes about 30 mins via a well sign posted route. A bonus is that an electric car charger is available at the property although please note charging speed only circa 2kwh. In summary, a fantastic place / base for exploring beautiful Shropshire. we plan a return stay soon.
We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the years, too many to count but Bishops Castle Barn was a cut above the rest it was just so comfortable and incredibly well thought out.
We loved the fact that we could play music in the evening and the TV’s were all a descent size (they can be so so small and not worth watching) all in all very well equipped. Beautiful part of the country with lots of places to visit and we were just spoilt with all the walking. Bishops Castle itself if really nice and the people were so welcoming we can’t wait to go back. Thanks again Tim and Andrea.
