About this property
This stone cottage is situated in the town of Much Wenlock, a glorious old market town in the heart of Shropshire countryside. Tucked away to the back of the owner's property, this hideaway is suited for couples wanting to truly escape from the hustle and bustle, a peaceful destination for two. Following the plant sheltered walkway to the entrance, you will immediately feel the layers of charm, setting the scene before you even step inside. Compact yet inspiring, Wash House Cottage commences with a dining room laid out for four people, your little place to settle down for a mornings breakfast or refreshments after a unique adventure. The cream-coloured kitchen rests beyond, housing everything you need on a day to day basis, with four steps taking you up to the sitting room, with a large TV and WiiFi. Simplistic yet carrying a traditional feel, this room is ideal for embracing the peace and quiet come evening, perhaps cosying up with a good book. Afterwards, the twin bedroom is a characterful place to enjoy a restful night's sleep, a lovely set-up under the eaves, with a Velux window and down-lighters above with it's own en-suite shower room. A small desk and TV are on the way in. Attuned to the cottage decor, a second shower room is a pleasant addition to the interior. What better way to start the next morning than with a warm cup of tea out in the patio area? A lovely spot surrounded by exposed brickwork, and intertwining flowers. Above the town rises the 15-mile-long Wenlock Edge, showcasing views and excellent walking, cycling, and riding. Nearby are the wonderful medieval towns of Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and Ludlow, the World Heritage Centre of Ironbridge with nine museums and Blists Hill Victorian Village, plus the amazing Wroxeter Roman City. A friendly cottage in a delightful location.

It is perfect for us. Itâs not always easy to find somewhere that has twin beds available in one room, but Lyn facilitates this. Itâs in a perfect location with loads of dog friendly places around. We love it and will be back once again.

The cottage is perfect comfortable, in a great location & has everything you could need. Lyn & Billy welcomed us when we arrived & helped us settle in. We find it a great base to explore the county plus it is right in the middle of Much Wenlock so great for going to the Talbot in the evening which is well worth a visit. Thank you Lyn & Billy for another lovely week.
