The Hayloft House

You arrive at The Hayloft House to find a substantial rural property with space to move about in. Three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, means no queuing in the morning—one has a king bed plus a single, another a double with a single, and the third two singles. All three bathrooms have walk-in showers. The main living spaces centre on a large kitchen and dining area opening into a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, television and WiFi. The kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking: gas range cooker, electric oven, gas hob, microwave and two dishwashers.

Outside, a terrace with furniture and a barbecue looks over the garden. The property shares access to an indoor heated swimming pool and tennis court with other nearby properties. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included; if you're travelling with small children, a travel cot and highchair are available. The driveway has parking for multiple cars. Smoking is not permitted inside.

Shrewsbury town centre lies nearby, though the house itself sits in open countryside close to the Boat House Lodge. The space suits families or groups of eight who want their own complete property rather than shared facilities.
