Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 16 - Whitchurch, Shropshire

This spectacular, spacious home set in the Shropshire countryside boasts panoramic views and welcomes 16 guests who will have access to an indoor pool, sauna, games room and a tennis court. The property also welcomes up to three dogs to join in the fun. This newly renovated farmhouse combines modern finishes with traditional features; as soon as you step into the hall, you will find an impressive ornate stained-glass window and a wooden staircase.

Leave your walking boots in the boot room, before heading through to the stylish kitchen. Cook up delicious meals together using the Range oven and eat together around the large table in the magnificent dining room. Take some time out in the snug where you can fire up the wood burner or pop something on the Smart TV.

A separate lounge provides a great space for socialising, playing games and planning the day ahead – it also doubles up as a cinema room with a projector and drop-down screen. Get competitive in the games room, which has a snooker table, an arcade machine and a dartboard. The first of the bedrooms is accessed via a separate staircase and has a king-size bed and en-suite shower room.

The other six bedrooms are on the first floor from the main stairs, find a super-king size, a king-size, one double and two twins. There is also a family room with a double and twin beds. All but one bedroom has access to en-suite shower rooms, and there is also a family bathroom for use up here.

Outside are two separate buildings. One contains an indoor swimming pool which has bi-folding doors that open onto the south-facing garden and has far-reaching views of the meadow. The other building houses a sauna, plunge pool and some seating.

Dine alfresco and enjoy evening tipples on the patio area or play a game of tennis on the outdoor court. If you can drag yourselves away from this superb home, you will find opportunities to explore both England and Wales. Take a trip to Alderford Lake (3.5 miles) where you can kayak, paddleboard and play on the aquapark.
