A Shropshire holiday cottage is a lovely way to enjoy this beautiful part of England. As well as its 32 castles, grand stately homes such as Attingham Park near Shrewsbury, the "finest view in England" from Bridgnorth (according to Charles 1st) and the 16-mile Severn Valley Railway, Shropshire is also lesser known to visitors as the home to the birthplace of the mythical pair, King Arthur and Guinivereor and for the glacial lakes of Ellesmere. It's a county of beautiful half-timbered homes such as Ludlow with its fine Tudor shops and historic castle.
This cosy countryside holiday cottage overlooks the Shropshire market town of Bishops Castle, with wonderful rural views of Shropshire Hills. Dog-friendly Plasauduon sleeps 6, with an inglenook fireplace, wood-burner and exposed beams. Ludlow, Stokesay Castle and Welsh Marches walks are all nearby.
