About this property

Craven Arms 2.1 miles. Tucked away in the sleepy village of Wistanstow is this picturesque property, The Dovecote. The Dovecote is built over an 18th century coach house and livery stable for one of the village inns on the Roman Rd. The original dovecote structure is a feature of the upstairs bedroom.

Surrounded by the luscious open fields of the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this restful abode offers the ultimate setting for a romantic retreat for two. Step inside this homely cottage and discover a large open-plan living space, adorned with high beam ceilings and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, an ideal space to relax and unwind as you cosy up on the blue velvet sofa and spend quality time with your significant other as you discuss all of your upcoming adventures exploring the area. Cross the beautiful oak floor to the quaint yet well-equipped kitchen and prepare a delicious dinner for two, to enjoy at the gorgeous wood dining table. Climb the staircase to the first floor and be welcomed into chic master bedroom boasting a spacious king-size bed and striking roll top bath with hand held shower, as well as benefitting from a sophisticated en-suite shower room. Spend warm summer nights out in the garden, where you can admire spectacular views of the countryside right from the hot tub, or kick-back outdoor furniture as you indulge in a large glass of crisp white wine. With all this to look forward to and so much more, be sure to book a stay at The Dovecote. Note: this property can be booked with ref. 984095, together sleeping up to eight guests.
