Secluded Detached Stable / Barn Conversion On The Border Of Shropshire And Wales

The Stable is a detached hideaway nestling on the side of a small, secluded and peaceful valley in rural North Shropshire looking out across the rolling Welsh hills which rise to the Berwyn Mountains beyond.
The sympathetic conversion from a small, traditional stable block has retained its original looks on the outside whilst on the inside it is a modern and well-equipped cottage. The accommodation is light and airy in the warm summer months and the under-floor heating in the kitchen and shower room. There is a wood-burner and electrical heating in the lounge that provides a snug and cosy atmosphere when the weather turns chilly. The Stable has beautiful surroundings and has all the facilities needed for a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
Situated at the edge of the owners’ large, landscaped garden and surrounded by woodland and farmland, the property is approached down a private, tarmacked track where there is parking area for vehicles only a few metres from the property. It has its own private, neatly-fenced and hedged garden with several trees and a variety of plants, patio pots and hanging baskets. A secluded patio area, with table and chairs, provides a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views to the hills. It is an ideal place for bird-watching with a large variety of birds visiting the bird-feeders, which can be seen from the patio or the sitting room. The Welsh hills provide a stunning backdrop for spectacular sunsets and the nights can provide crystal clear conditions for star gazing.
There are numerous and varied local walks from the doorstep into the surrounding woodland and open hills giving views into Wales, Shropshire and beyond. There are also many walks in the Shropshire and Welsh countryside that can be accessed by travelling short distances from the property. Information and maps provided in The Stable give details of these walks and many other places to visit.

Simply amazing!
Beautiful property, lovely and clean, everything you need and just so cosy. The wood burner was a great feature and made a rainy Saturday evening perfect. The Stable is lovely and peaceful. Jean was there if we needed anything. We will definitely be returning to the Stable and already looking for our next dates!

Wonderful views
Wonderful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of life. Jean was very helpful and the cake was delicous. The Stable was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for self catering. Highlight of stay was watching all the different birds coming to feed. Would certainly return. Thank you

Stay June 2023
I would recommend the stables to anyone that wants tranquillity, peace and quiet away from the noise of ‘life’. Just sitting listening and watching the birds and the nature is truly fab & we found ourselves instantly relax as soon as we arrived. The hosts were wonderful and gave a lot of local information on places to eat etc & the cake on arrival was gorgeous. The stables are exceptionally well kept and spotlessly clean. We just wish we could have stayed longer. We were blessed with lovely weather & did a lot of walking whilst we were there. We left some of the walks in the stables in case future guests wanted to make use of them. We would highly recommend the restaurant at the hotel called Pen-y-Duffryn which is only a 15 minutes walk away from the stables. We will most definitely be back! xx

Idyllic Location
Excellent cottage with all the usual utensils. Garden is well kept and attractive. Cottage at edge of wood with extensive views. Plenty to see and do in the area. Spent hours watching the many birds visiting the garden and feeder. A Peaceful and Romantic break Owners on hand if required.
