Leys Retreat, 6 The Leys , Bishops Castle

Leys Retreat is a modern, spacious house sitting proudly in Bishops Castle, Shropshire. This four-bedroom property offers stunning countryside views and sleeps up to eight people comfortably. Perfect for families or friends wanting to escape to rural England without sacrificing modern comforts. The house feels surprisingly huge inside - you'll stop bumping into each other after about day three.

Set in the heart of Bishops Castle, you're just 500 meters from local pubs and shops. The surrounding Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides endless walking opportunities. Fancy exploring further? Church Stretton is just 13 miles away, historic Ludlow 17 miles and the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Ironbridge only 29 miles. After a day of hiking those hills, your legs will thank you for booking a place with a hot tub.

The accommodation features a bright open-plan kitchen-diner that's fully equipped and perfect for group meals. Four bedrooms include a master king with en-suite and balcony, a second king-size, one double and a twin room. The family bathroom has both bath and separate shower. Two dogs are welcome for an additional fee.

Nearby attractions include the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre (15 miles, 25 minutes), Stokesay Castle (14 miles, 23 minutes), Powis Castle (20 miles, 35 minutes) and Long Mynd (10 miles, 20 minutes). Each offers a different glimpse into Shropshire's natural beauty and history.

Leys Retreat truly shines with its large enclosed garden featuring a hot tub where you can soak while enjoying those countryside views. Best suited for families and groups who want countryside charm with modern luxuries. Just don't drink wine in the hot tub - that's how bad decisions happen.
