A quirky little retreat brimming with character. Perfect for slow mornings, countryside rambles, and curling up in your own cosy nook – this is simple living, done beautifully.
Tucked away in the heart of the Shropshire countryside, the Wheelwright’s Shop is a lovingly restored 1840s cabin that combines vintage soul with modern comfort. Perfect as a dog-friendly holiday cottage, this unique retreat invites slow-living, quiet reflection, and immersive countryside experiences.
Original timber beams frame the cabin with rich character, complemented by mottled plaster walls, upcycled antiques, and historic relics, including retired craft tools and a velvet-topped vintage stool. Every corner tells a story, offering a one-of-a-kind stay for couples or small families seeking something extraordinary.
At the centre of the cabin, an open-plan living space blends old-world warmth with modern ease. A crackling wood burner anchors the lounge, surrounded by plush armchairs perfect for curling up with a book. The rustic dining table invites long breakfasts and leisurely suppers, while the kitchen, complete with a gas cooker and Rayburn, makes winter stays extra cosy.
Wide patio doors open onto a picturesque garden, with blooms swaying in the breeze and rolling countryside views stretching beyond. Morning coffee in the sun or evening drinks at dusk makes the Wheelwright’s Shop a truly enchanting countryside retreat.
A mezzanine-level double bedroom offers soft skylight views and sumptuous pillows, creating a tranquil hideaway. A cleverly curtained double sofa bed in the living space provides flexible sleeping for two additional guests, making this cabin perfect for small groups or couples wanting extra comfort.
As featured on Extraordinary Escapes with Sandy Toksvig (Series 3, Episode 4), the Wheelwright’s Shop is story-filled, characterful, and dog-friendly, ensuring every member of the family — two- or four-legged — can enjoy the magic of this countryside escape.
