The property

Wem 4.5 miles.

Foxes Den is a practical shepherd’s hut resting near Wem in Shropshire, set beside a canal with countryside views and offering a straightforward stay for friends or couples.

Arrive at the marina and leave your car in the designated car park, then follow the cinder and slate path towards the water, where the canal gradually comes into view and the meadow opens out to reveal a small row of huts.

Its green exterior sits neatly within the natural surroundings, with the canal close by adding a calm feel to the setting.

Step up onto the veranda, where astro turf lies underfoot and camping chairs provide a place to pause, sit back, and take in the waterside outlook before heading inside.

Push open the door and enter a bright interior, where wooden flooring runs beneath your feet and leads through the open-plan layout, with a double bed offering a place to unwind after a day outdoors, while the drop-leaf dining table with stacking chairs provides a useful spot to sit down with a meal or plan the day ahead.

The kitchenette is set within easy reach, making it simple to prepare light snacks or quick bites, or put the kettle on for a hot drink, while the oil-filled heater gives a steady warmth as the evening cools, creating a space suited to eating, sitting, and unwinding.

When it’s time to freshen up, take a short walk across the site to the shared facilities, where a walk-in wet room offers a practical place to start or end your day, with additional bathrooms available if needed, while the outdoor tap and water container support everyday use in keeping with the simple nature of the stay.

Step back outside and make the most of the surroundings, where the lawn and terrace lead towards the canal, offering space to gather at the picnic bench before lighting the fire pit, feeling the warmth of the flames and watching the light fade across the water.

A shop can be reached with a short drive, while a pub sits a little further afield for those looking to dine out.

Alternatively enjoy the delights of the on-site café, open 7 days a week.

Foxes Den provides a simple canal-side base in the Shropshire countryside.

Whixall Marina Escapes

Whixall Marina Escapes consists of a practical selection of five shepherd’s huts resting on the rural outskirts of Wem in Shropshire. This collection offers canal-side views, fire pits, and simple outdoor seating, making it a lovely base for couples and groups of friends. The surroundings enjoy open countryside, where you can walk along the canal, watch narrowboats pass by, or head out across nearby walking routes.

Treat your loved ones to a meal out at nearby eateries such as The Boat House, offering a waterside setting, or Bull & Dog for a traditional pub atmosphere, while a café on site serves hot drinks and meals throughout the day, where you can sit on the terrace and watch barges, ducks, and swans drift slowly along the water.

Make the most of your location by exploring Whitchurch, Oswestry, and Shrewsbury, where independent shops line the streets, historic buildings tell the story of each town, and cafés and eateries offer places to pause. From the timber-framed buildings and riverside walks of Shrewsbury to the market atmosphere and heritage sites of Oswestry, there is plenty to discover. For days out, explore Hawkstone Park Follies, where winding paths lead through woodland, striking rock formations create elevated viewpoints, and hidden caves add a sense of adventure. Visit Attingham Park to wander through the grand estate, take in landscaped gardens, and follow trails through open parkland, or spend time at Ellesmere, where lakeside walks, wildlife spotting, and waterside views offer a gentle way to pass the day. For those keen to explore further, the canal stretches onwards towards the striking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, offering a scenic route for long waterside wanderings, while nearby open spaces such as Whixall Moss provide easy access to nature on the doorstep.

Whixall Marina Escapes provides a simple and easy-going base for enjoying canal-side living in the Shropshire countryside.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £50.
