This 2-bedroom cottage sits high above Church Stretton in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. This renovated cottage sleeps four guests across two bedrooms. National Trust land lies directly in front of the property at Jinlye Meadow. The Long Mynd stretches out beyond with wild ponies grazing across the heather-covered hills.

Church Stretton is known locally as Little Switzerland. Public footpaths start from your door. The village sits 13 miles from Shrewsbury and 19 miles from Ludlow. Local shops include a butcher and delicatessen.

The ground floor holds a super-king bedroom that converts to twins on request. Upstairs you'll find a master super-king suite. Both bathrooms stock Molton Brown toiletries and The White Company robes. The open-plan living space features exposed wooden beams and bi-fold doors opening to the garden.

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Visitor Centre (29 miles, 40 minutes) and Ironbridge Gorge Museums (25 miles, 45 minutes) make excellent days out. Shrewsbury Castle sits 13 miles away (25 minutes). Ludlow Castle is 19 miles distant (35 minutes).

Remote workers get a corner bureau with mountain views. The wood burner keeps things cosy. This cottage works perfectly for couples and small families wanting walking access and rural peace.
