With no TV or Wifi, there are no distractions to pull you away from the countryside at this beautiful home in the Shropshire Hills. Converted from a hayloft in a Victorian stable block, original features like the wooden beams and porthole windows give the space a unique and rustic character. But you’ll still find plenty of modern comforts – the master bedroom features a walk-in dressing room, there's a charming Juliet balcony that opens the living room up to the treetops and there's a new log burner for staying cosy no matter the weather. Spend your days exploring the area – the city of Ludlow is only a short ten-minute drive away and boasts a castle and charming market, and there are plenty of hiking trails through the hills to add to the itinerary. When you arrive back home, run a bath fed from the local spring and put together a meal in the sociable kitchen. There's even a private cobbled courtyard to sit out in on warm evenings. If you're lucky, you'll catch sight of the swifts and swallows that nest in the area.

About The Shropshire Hills
Stretching all the way from southern Shropshire to Wales, the Shropshire Hills are like nowhere else in the UK. Rocky peaks rise up from grass-blanketed hills and naturally formed pathways run between pink-purple, heather-covered banks. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a wonderful destination for a walking holiday, with an incredible variety of landscapes to explore, from the Clun and Wyre forests, to the unusual quartzite Devil’s Chair and...
