Mill Farm Holiday Cottages - Red Kite Cottage

Red Kite Cottage is a ground-floor property in Heyope, a village within reach of Knighton on the Wales-England border. The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms—one double, one twin—with a shower room and an open-plan living space that combines kitchen, dining and sitting areas. A woodburner warms the cottage, with logs provided to get you started. The kitchen has an electric cooker, dishwasher and microwave for self-catering; essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included.

Outside is where this place distinguishes itself: a private hot tub sits on your patio, accessed from an enclosed garden where you can barbecue. Parking is on site. One dog stays free. The cottage is part of a small cluster of holiday properties, and you have sole use of yours, though there's a shared games room with pool and table tennis if you want it, and a shared utility room with a washing machine. The water comes from a borehole—a natural supply rather than mains.

Knighton itself has antique shops, tea rooms and old inns scattered through streets lined with half-timbered houses. The Teme Valley, Offa's Dyke and the Glyndwr Way are nearby for walking. Ludlow, Church Stretton and Clun are all within driving distance if you want to explore further afield.
