Elsie’s Cottage

Pontesford sits in the heart of Shropshire's hills, south-west of Shrewsbury on the A488. The village is surrounded by footpaths and cycling routes through open countryside, with Earl's Hill Nature Reserve on the doorstep offering waymarked walks of varying difficulty. A pub lies within a mile. Elsie's Cottage is a family-run property that sleeps five across two bedrooms, with a single sofa bed in an upstairs sitting room adding flexibility for groups or families with older children.

The ground floor holds a living room with wood-burning stove and a well-equipped kitchen opening onto a breakfast area. One double bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shower. Upstairs, a second double bedroom and the sitting room with sofa bed complete the layout. The cottage includes essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi—plus a travel cot and highchair for younger visitors. One dog stays free. You have private parking for two cars and access to a large garden; a garage houses bike storage. No smoking inside.

The countryside views from the windows are the cottage's defining feature. It suits couples, families, or small groups wanting to base themselves for walking or cycling rather than for proximity to towns or attractions.
