About this property
A beautiful semi-detached barn conversion situated in the grounds of the owner's home and smallholding, surrounded by Shropshire countryside on the outskirts of the scattered village of Milson, close to the Worcestershire border. The cottage has been furnished to the highest standard throughout making it a perfect base for a romantic break in relaxing and welcoming surroundings. On entering the cottage the owner's attention to detail and personal touches are evident throughout. The open plan living area offers a very well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and sumptuous sofas and armchair located around the warming woodburning stove, perfect for curling up on after a busy day out.
Make your way upstairs to the luxurious shower room and elegant king-size bedroom. Lovely views across open countryside can be enjoyed from inside the cottage, both on the ground and first floor. Outside, to the front of the cottage is a seating area from where the stunning scenery can be enjoyed, and in a sunny spot by the front door there are a table and chairs, ideal for dining alfresco. The nearby Saxon village of Neen Sollars has a wonderful village pub, which serves good food and real ale, while just 3 miles away the market town of Cleobury Mortimer has a range of individual shops, restaurants and pubs.
Many lovely walks can be enjoyed in the area, and a short drive will take you to routes along Clee Hill and the Long Mynd. The Mortimer Forest also offers walks and cycle routes of varying lengths taking in many archaeological features and an abundance of wildlife, and is within an easy drive. Visit the riverside town of Tenbury Wells, or Ludlow, with its medieval street pattern and excellent restaurants. This is a wonderful cottage for a memorable holiday at any time of the year.
The small village of Milson boasts an 11th century church and beautiful unspoilt countryside. The nearby riverside village of Neen Sollars dates back to the Saxon times and is home to the popular 'Live and Let Live' pub serving real ale and home-cooked food. Just three miles away, beneath the shadow of the mystical Clee Hills, the pretty town of Cleobury Mortimer provides a refreshing selection of shops, pubs and restaurants in an array of Georgian and Tudor architecture, along with a striking parish church with an unusual, twisted spire.

The cottage was already and set up with an xmas tree and some lovely goodies supplied by the owners to start the holiday off on a high. The only disappointment was the weather, thick fog for the duration of our stay so we didn't get to appreciate the views. The cottage was always lovely and warm and the facilities were perfect. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed for a romantic break over New year and it was perfect. Hosts welcome gifts were a lovely touch and lots of useful information provided for things to do. Plenty of nice walks and local pub was very welcoming. Would visit again.
