The Gable

Sleeps 2
1 Bedroom
From £150 per night

Overview

Tucked away in the Shropshire countryside, The Gable is a pocket-sized hideaway for two. It has a spacious super-king room – we can attest to how comfy the bed is – a modern kitchen, and a beautiful upstairs living room with a vast gable window overlooking the surrounding hills. Newly refurbished and perfectly put together, it’s an unbeatable option for solos or couples looking to escape into the great outdoors. And with walking routes right on the doorstep, it can’t be beaten for location.

Kitchen, Living & Dining Areas

Step straight into the airy kitchen, set up with all the mod-cons you need and a table for two for leisurely breakfasts and home-cooked dinners. Upstairs you’ll find the living room – undoubtedly the hero room – which gazes over the rolling Shropshire hills through a beautiful gable window. Throw open the Juliet balcony doors and soak up the sounds of the countryside around you.

The Bedroom & Bathroom

The bedroom at The Gable is a cosy haven, with a sprawling super king bed that can be split into twins on request. The shower room is modern and spacious, with a waterfall shower to welcome you after long, muddy walks.

Outside

There’s a delightful patio outside the front of the property, with an al-fresco dining set-up for two. Set yourself up for the day ahead with morning coffees to the sound of birdsong, or refuel after a long day of rambling through the countryside with dinner under the stars.

Children & dogs

Please note, The Gable is not suitable for children or dogs.

The Surroundings

The Gable sits deep within the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, at the end of a kilometre-long single-track drive that winds through beautiful countryside. You’re surrounded by fields at every turn, stretching to the Stiperstones and Birchope Wood, and with public footpaths from the front door, the countryside is yours to explore.

Things To Do

Get lost in the charming town of Shrewsbury

Modern eateries meet historic character in this delightful nearby town, which happens to be the birthplace of Charles Darwin.

Things To Do

Hike the Stiperstones

Marvel at the defining landscapes of this part of Shropshire, all wild heathland, rocky tors and huge views in every direction.

Things To Do

Bishop's Castle

The nearest town, Bishop's Castle is Medieval in origin and wonderfully unpolished. Explore independent shops, pubs, arts, and plenty of culture.

Things To Do

The Poetry Pharmacy

A genuine one-off, this is a must-visit for delicious coffee with a hearty side of poetry and philosophy.

Eat & Drink

The Bridges, Ratlinghope

A local gem with an abundance of rural charm. Stop for lunch or a pint after a long walk in the hills.

Eat & Drink

The Crown, Wentnor

Another local within easy reach, this spot is tiny, traditional, and all about proper pub food.

Eat & Drink

The Three Tuns, Bishop's Castle

Integral to Bishop's Castle's historic brewing story, this is well worth a visit for local ales, hearty pub food, and a lively atmosphere.

Things To Do

Cycling & mountain biking

The Shropshire Hills are superb cycling country, with recognised road routes and some fantastic mountain-bike trails. The terrain ranges from long, quiet lanes to much more challenging riding across the hills, depending on your level.

Things To Do

Gliding & paragliding

The Long Mynd is renowned for soaring. Gliding and paragliding offer an entirely different way to experience the scale of the landscape – and perhaps the best view you can get of the hills.

Things To Do

Private clay shooting

This can be arranged on request.
