About this property

Gig house converted to a one bedroom cottage

Newly converted gig house with extensive views over the Shropshire plains during the day and of wide starry skies at night. Situated just a few miles outside the market town of Oswestry where you will find everything you need. Chester, Llangollen and Shrewsbury are also within reach.
The property is very close to Offa's Dyke and offers footpaths over beautiful border countryside.
Underfloor heating and a cosy woodburner make this a lovely getaway any time of year. Electricity and fuel for the fire are included.
The property is set within the owner's grounds and offers the opportunity to use an established painting studio if you wish.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful country setting

A beautiful, well provisioned property and the views are fabulous. Jen was a pleasure to deal with and made sure everything was ok for us. We hope to be coming back soon. We had planned to visit lots of places in the surrounding area as it's a great base to explore from, but we felt so relaxed here, we barely went out If you do venture out there are several castles, an aquaduct, some good walks and plenty of places to eat and drink in easy driving distance

A well appointed property in the most peaceful setting. We used it as a rest stop and base to visit the Llangollen railway. Oswestry was lovely and we met so many friendly people.

Just perfect

The Gig was even better than we had expected from the description and photos. It was the ideal place to stay for 3 nights to attend a local wedding. The place was very clean and well equipped, we had everything we needed. The design of the house is very clever and a lovely space to spend time in. Our hosts were really friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable! The view superb. Just perfect.

Holiday home

We stayed for four weeks while we were in between properties. We had a lovely welcome, but we were then left to have complete privacy. It is so quiet & picturesque. We will probably return for a chill out at some time.

Location location location

If you like being away from it all, being immersed in the countryside (right on the Shropshire/Welsh border) with gorgeous views and foraging badgers for companions, then this is the place. The ‘gig house’ is spotlessly clean, with modern decor and just about everything you could need including logs for the burner, staples in the cupboards, a smart coffee machine and good wi-fi. Highly recommended.

Nice property Fantastic location. Peace and quiet Well equipped kitchen Plentiful supply of logs Downside was no instructions for coffee maker. Bathroom was a bit grubby- cobwebs and tiles where floor joined walls could do with a scrub. But overall we enjoyed our stay

Absolutely faultless hospitality - beautiful home, with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The views are heavenly and the walks in the immediate area were perfect (see the very helpful guides provided). One of the nicest breaks we've ever had.
