The Little Barn at Holly Villa

About this property

Escape to a tranquil haven nestled in the heart of nature, where a charming, self-contained abode awaits you and your loved one. This idyllic retreat, perched beside the owner's quaint cottage, offers a romantic sanctuary for two, set against the stunning backdrop of the Wales/Shropshire borderlands. Embark on scenic walks or cycle along lush trails just moments from your doorstep. Just a short drive away lies the delightful historic town of Shrewsbury (15 miles), where cobbled pathways lead you through a tapestry of boutique shops, cosy cafés, and inviting pubs. For a touch of heritage, the majestic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (21 miles) and the enchanting Powis Castle and Gardens (10 miles) beckon for leisurely explorations.

Step inside, this charming two-storey petite home beautifully marries rustic charm with modern comfort. As you park in your private parking space and step inside, you’ll be welcomed by an open-plan living and kitchen area, featuring a romantic wood burner and charming exposed beams that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Sink into the plush sofa, making yourself at home before you venture into the stylish compact kitchen to whip up a romantic dinner to enjoy at the intimate breakfast table. After a delightful meal, cuddle up on the sofa, letting the warmth of the wood burner wrap you in comfort as you catch up on your favourite TV shows. As evening falls, ascend the wooden staircase to the mezzanine where a beautiful king-size bed awaits, offering stunning views of the paddock and mesmerising sunsets. Start your morning with a refreshing rainfall shower in the sleek, modern shower room, and enjoy the comfort of warm towels from the heated towel rail. For an extra touch of indulgence, consider ordering a delicious breakfast delivered right to your door.

Outside, the picturesque private garden beckons, complete with a tranquil pond where you can unwind. The peaceful paddock invites relaxation beneath apple trees, or perhaps you’d prefer to fire up the charcoal BBQ for a delightful outdoor meal, followed by cosy moments around the fire pit under a starlit sky. This romantic country retreat promises to be a memorable escape, where every moment spent together is filled with cherished memories.
