Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 12 - Nash, Shropshire

Get the whole gang together at this luxurious barn-conversion just 6 miles outside the historic town of Ludlow. Sleeping 12 people across six bedrooms, this is a perfect accommodation choice for large families or groups of friends who want to celebrate a special occasion together in the beautiful South Shropshire countryside. During the day, head to Ludlow's market square, where there are plenty of quirky craft and antique stalls to browse.

In the evening, come home to the cottage to cook up a storm in the impressive outdoor kitchen and enjoy a game of darts in the entertainment barn. This barn is divided into two main areas that makes it ideal for gatherings and solitude alike. Step inside the first barn area and you'll be greeted by an inviting open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area.

Soak up the fabulous fusion of industrial and rustic design before whipping up some dinner in the sleek kitchen area. Alternatively, head out to the outdoor kitchen or fire up a BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, head to the entertainment barn to warm your toes by the wood burner or enjoy a game of darts.

This part of the cottage has four bedrooms - three doubles and one bunk bedroom. In the second half of the barn, you'll find another cosy, open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen with a wood burner - perfect for a smaller crowd. This part of the barn features two double bedrooms – both can be converted to twins upon request.

Get the whole gang together for a hike at Mortimer Forest (12.5 miles). Climb the High Vinnalls - the highest point in Mortimer Forest – to enjoy the panoramic country views. Alternatively, take a trip with your loved ones to Stokesay Castle (15 miles) to wander through its timber-framed halls and explore the beautiful gardens.
