Hearth Retreat

Open the door to Hearth Retreat and you step into a cottage built by local craftsmen from materials quarried and sourced in Wales—stone, cedar, reclaimed slate. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms mean there's space enough for four without crowding. What you find inside is a private retreat set across 35 acres of rolling pasture, designed for guests who want genuine quiet: no neighbours, just fields and distant hills visible from the windows. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are covered, so you arrive to a ready home.

The heart of staying here is the contrast between indoor comfort and outdoor space. A wood burner draws you in on cooler evenings. When you want air and movement, the hot tub sits in the gardens, and longer walks across the farmland or further out towards Offa's Dyke are minutes away. Montgomery, a small Welsh town, lies a couple of miles off; the Shropshire Hills are within reach for a day out. The property is non-smoking, and a cot and highchair are available if you're travelling with young children.
