About this property

Trefonen 2.8 miles. Nestled amongst the rich Shropshire countryside in Nantmawr near Trefonen, is this superb studio-style shepherd’s hut, The Moorhen Retreat. Enjoying panoramic country views and a private garden with a bubbling wood-fired hot tub, sheltered barbecue area, and plenty of outdoor seating, The Moorhen Retreat is a fabulous choice for a couple seeking their next getaway. Be welcomed into the open-plan space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for rustling up meals, along with a dining table for two, two plush armchairs and a Smart TV, ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure. The owners offer tours of the farm grounds where you may be able to spot moorhens and chicks, along with a wildlife rich pond and private woodlands. After a day of exploring, freshen up in the sleek shower room with heated towel rail, before retiring to the sumptuous double bed to catch your rest. Impress your loved one with a stay at The Moorhen Retreat.

The rural community of Trefonen is located between the historic English border town of Oswestry and the Welsh community of Llanhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, where the highest single drop waterfall in the United Kingdom is located. There is a pub and a general store in this quaint community, and Offa's Dyke passes right through the centre of town. It is adjacent to the location where scenes from the popular 1995 film "The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain" were shot. Wonderful picturesque walks and cycle paths, including as the Berwyn Ridge Pathway, the Offa's Dyke Path, and through the gorgeous Tanat and Ceiriog Valleys, can be found all throughout the area and extend into the Berwyn Mountain Range. Travel to the nearby market town of Ellesmere or the riverside town of Llangollen, home to the World Heritage Site Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Chirk and Powis Castles and Gardens, Erddig, and Attingham Park. The Welsh mountains and coast, as well as the beautiful Lakes Vyrnwy and Bala, are just a short drive away, as are the historic towns of Shrewsbury and Chester, both of which were founded by the Romans. Trefonen is a great starting point from which to explore the rest of Mid Wales and perhaps Shropshire.
