Shropshire Self Catering cottage, The Cart House, Wem, sleeps 6

Fabulous, hidden gem in Shropshire
We wanted a short break to escape our self-imposed lockdown of two years plus an escape from the diagnosis of cancer and before the real treatment starts. Cart House is just brilliant for this. The owner, Paul is very keen to welcome guests personally and is on hand during the week to help with any assistance and advice. The property is very quiet and secluded with off-road parking for two cars. Inside is magical ? a literally barn-sized, open plan lounge, diner and kitchen. All with oak beams overhead but modern in its equipment and design. There's even a breakfast bar with stools. One amazing contribution to the homeliness is underfloor heating ? a boon for guests as well as canine visitors. The backdoor leads out onto a large, enclosed lawn with picnic & BBQ area and the fabulous hot tub. Back inside, up the stone feature staircase, you are lead to the three impressive bedrooms ? the first is ensuite but all three have a vast headroom up to the original oak beams. There is also a family bathroom at the end. The whole home is well furnished with luxury touches ? blinds as well as curtains. A thermostat just for upstairs which shows the good design. For the chef ? the kitchen is vast and well equipped (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, electric touch hob and extractor, fridge & freezer plus a pod espresso machine). The whole place has a brand new feel to it and it is all well maintained. It's a great area to explore: hiking, dog walking, pub visiting (a huge and I think well researched list is in the welcome pack). We came here in part to revisit old haunts when we sailed by in our old narrowboat ? everywhere now is so easily reachable ? Market Drayton (Joules Brewery), Whitchurch, Whixall Moss, Shrewsbury . . . . An ideal place for couples, whole families, two families and dogs! A gem and highly recommended
