Cowis Cottage is a beautifully restored former dairy parlour converted into a stone cottage in Stretton Westwood, a peaceful hamlet just 1.5 miles from Much Wenlock in Shropshire. Sitting within the Heart of England, this two-bedroom property sleeps four and sits in picturesque farmland with far-reaching valley and countryside views from every angle.

The cottage sits right on the edge of Wenlock Edge and borders the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. This is proper walking country. Much Wenlock is minutes away with its Priory ruins and local museum. Ironbridge with its 10 museums is just 7.5 miles away.

Inside you'll find exposed oak beams and a lounge-diner with a wood burner and Smart TV. The light-filled kitchen has an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and coffee machine. Two bedrooms sleep four: one super-king zip-and-link (convertible to twin) and one king-size. The family bathroom has a bath and separate shower. Note: no hot tub at this property.

Benthall Hall (National Trust) is 5.5 miles away. Ironbridge Gorge museums are 7.5 miles away. Shrewsbury is 11 miles and Ludlow is 16 miles.

Cowis Cottage suits couples and small families wanting a genuine rural Shropshire base. Private parking for two cars and a rear lawned garden for alfresco dining seal the deal.
