Snowy by the River

If you’ve been craving a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, this country cottage in the heart of Shropshire could be just what the doctor ordered. Situated just thirty minutes from the centre of Shrewsbury, this riverside retreat is ideal for families – furry friends included – or a small circle of friends, boasting three snug bedrooms and a generous kitchen, perfect for cooking as a group. Start your day with a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar then wander down to the river for a dip in the natural plunge pool. You’re surrounded by 10 acres of greenery here, so why not make the most of it? Go for a gentle stroll in the fresh air, keeping an eye out for local wildlife, or ask your host to help you arrange a private yoga session in the great outdoors. When dusk falls, head down to the quarry firepit for an evening of stargazing or slip into your private hot tub and treat yourself to a long soak beneath the trees.
