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.

Lovely Holiday
A beautiful property in a stunning location. So peaceful. The property was spotless, well equipped and the welcome pack of tea, milk and homemade cake, along with fresh flowers made it extra special! We especially enjoyed watching the Siskens, Woodpeckers and other birds coming to feed, and watching the sunset over the hills at the end of the day. The hosts were extremely friendly too. We loved our stay and will definitely be recommending the lovely barn to family and friends. Zoe and Andy

Peaceful, restful & so pretty. The property has everything you need and is adorable. Amazing views and surroundings and watching the wildlife in the garden was very relaxing (squirrel, a pair of pheasants & more birds than I have seen for so long- bonus was the Woodpecker 😁). Thank you for a lovely break - we would love to return for another visit.

Wow wow wow, we absolutely loved this little find, 'The Stable' is a beautiful place to stay, the surroundings are stunning, the accomodation is clean, beautifully furnished, excellently equipped and the host was lovely. The road leading up to the property is a bit of a bumpy one with a few potholes but the hosts prepare you for that in the well informed directions to the property. We will DEFINITELY be returning again next year, just perfect.

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!

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
