Quarry House, Priest Weston

Quarry House is a modernised 1900s stone cottage in Priest Weston, Shropshire. This detached property sits in the Welsh Marches countryside with stunning views from two balconies across the rolling Shropshire Hills. Perfect for those who want a bit of luxury in rural surroundings. Need to escape the rat race? This place will sort you right out.

Set in a small village with a proper local pub (the Miner's Arms), you're perfectly placed for exploring both Shropshire and Wales. Walks straight from the door mean you can ditch the car some days. The cottage has been cleverly updated with a contemporary grey-clad extension that doesn't look like it was designed by someone's uncle after six pints.

The accommodation sleeps 6 guests across three bedrooms - two king-size (one with en-suite) and one double. The spacious sitting room features a wood-burning stove and Smart TV. There's a stylish kitchen/diner perfect for group meals, plus a bright conservatory and utility room for all your muddy gear.

Visit Montgomery Castle (5.5 miles), Powis Castle and Garden, Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, or the Battlefield Bird of Prey Centre. All within easy driving distance. After exploring, soak in your private hot tub with a glass of something cold. Who needs a spa break when you've got this?

Quarry House offers the perfect mix of country charm and modern comfort. The hot tub is the cherry on top of this rural retreat cake. Just don't invite the in-laws unless you actually like them.
