Description

The Cottage is a beautifully-restored 16th-century cottage nestled in the heart of Bishop’s Castle in Shropshire.

Tucked away behind the museum and just across from the Town Hall, a narrow cobbled path winds gently upward, like a passage from a storybook, leading you to your enchanting home-away-from-home.

Step through the door, and time softens.

Beamed ceilings and timber-framed walls whisper stories of centuries past, while the warmth of the woodburning stove and the glow of contemporary comforts welcome you home.

The sitting room invites you to curl up with a book or lose yourself in a film, while the dining room waits patiently for laughter and shared meals.

The kitchen, bright and well-equipped, opens onto a sunlit courtyard garden, a hidden nook perfect for morning coffee or quiet conversation.

Climb the stone steps to a raised terrace, and the world opens up: rolling Shropshire hills stretch into the distance, timeless and still.

When night falls, three lovely bedrooms await.

A super-king-size room offers space to breathe, while the double room’s en-suite adds a touch of luxury.

A single room completes the trio, each space a gentle retreat after a day of exploring.

The historic town of Bishop's Castle offers a wealth of attractions such as the House on Crutches Museum and The Three Tuns Brewery, for a taste of the town's heritage.

Discover local contemporary art at The Gallery Eighteen Art Centre and witness the might of Clun Castle.

Immerse yourselves in the calmness of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and enjoy abundant wildlife at Roundton Hill Nature Reserve and Bury Ditches Iron Age Hill Fort.

Broaden the scope of your tour by visiting the nearby Stiperstones Nature Reserve, or delve deeper into the history of the area at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, boasting a unique insight into 19th-century farm life.

Indulge in nostalgia with a trip to The Land of Lost Content Museum for an intriguing exploration of the past.

Your magical journey from the heart of Bishop’s Castle begins at 41 High Street.

This house is very well-equipped, spacious and comfortable.

The television could be bigger. Guests need to be very careful not to bang their heads, particularly against the low arches on the first floor landing.
