    “Lovely property in beautiful surroundings.”

    Well-equipped and comfy. Slightly confusing on arrival that the microwave is under-the-counter and the mini-oven looks like a microwave!

The property

Bishop's Castle 2.7 miles.

Nestled in a rural valley in Acton, near Bishop's Castle, a market town on the border of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Shropshire, is this single-storey eco lodge, Lodge 1.

Enveloped by 8-acres of woodlands, and finished to an opulent standard, Lodge 1 is perfect for a couple, longing for a romantic countryside break.

Built to high-end Eco conscious standards, the lodge has a heat recovery system which supplies fresh filtered air with minimum environmental impact.

Climbing the external steps to the lodge, take in the stillness of your new abode, whilst entering the spectacular open-plan living space; prepare your meals in the contemporary kitchen, toast your stay around the dining table, and relax in front of the TV, situated in the Scandinavian-style sitting area.

Once the sun makes an appearance, opt for alfresco dining upon your private patio, or perhaps light the firepit and enjoy a romantic night under the stars once dusk sets in.

To rest your eyes, discover the stylish super king-size bedroom, with wooden floors, and direct views out to the lodge's backdrop.

The property is completed with a sleek en-suite bathroom, featuring fresh, high-quality fixtures, where you can unwind in the free-standing bath, or take a refreshing shower in the marble effect walk-in shower.

The lodge itself is positioned for privacy and remoteness from the hustle and bustle, with rolling fields and woodlands as your neighbours, yet a short car journey will bring you to Bishop's Castle, home to all your amenities.

Those who enjoy walking and spending time outside will appreciate strolls around Llyn Coed y Dinas, will relish in a hike up the terrain of Stiperstones National Nature Reserve, and will love the chance to trek through The Vinnals, offering panoramic views of Shropshire from its summit.

History surrounds the county, where you can discover the remains of Clun Castle, set on the border of Wales, Montgomery Castle, and its preserved structure, and the medieval grounds of Ludlow Castle, both grand and picturesque, overlooking River Teme.

Powys Castle and Garden, Cambrian Railway Museum, and Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd also surround your new abode, offering something for everyone.

Make memories at Lodge 1 in Shropshire, whether you enjoy nature-filled adventures or indoor exploration.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
