Lake View Cottage in Shropshire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Lake View Cottage

A lovely, semi-detached, red brick farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, in a delightful rural setting, just three miles from Market Drayton in Shropshire. Set in the middle of grazing pastures on the owners’ 50-acre working stock farm, this superb, eco-friendly cottage has been lovingly renovated to offer quality accommodation throughout, with breathtaking views across to the owners' wildlife lake.

Upon entering, you will appreciate the spacious layout, with an open-plan living space divided by an impressive central staircase with a half landing splitting the stairs up to the first floor. The bespoke kitchen is well equipped with all you would expect from such a luxury property, with a farmhouse table providing a fantastic entertaining area for family meals, whilst the sitting room offers a welcoming area to relax on comfy leather sofas and plan the following day's activities.

The first floor provides a mezzanine seating area with a spacious viewing gallery and Juliet balcony, featuring a full-height gable window from which you can enjoy far-reaching and undisturbed views across the garden and fields to the lake. The mezzanine level also provides a quiet reading area, a chill-out zone and a second dining area.

The bedrooms are stylishly finished, with two benefitting from en-suite facilities in addition to the ground floor wet room. Outside the cottage, you will find patio and lawn seating areas, offering plenty of space to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

There is also an all-weather outdoor kitchen, complete with a BBQ and pizza oven, perfect for al fresco dining. This location benefits from minimal light pollution, providing excellent opportunities for stargazing on clear nights and enjoying spectacular sunsets.

You have access from the pretty lawns onto the surrounding fields and down to the private wildlife lake, where numerous waterfowl and migratory birds can be observed throughout the year. Adding to the experience, you are welcome to make use of the owners' Summerhouse, known as The Lake House. Situated beside the water, this peaceful retreat provides the perfect spot for relaxing, birdwatching, enjoying a picnic, sitting with a drink in the evening, or simply taking in the tranquillity of this beautiful rural setting.

Lake View Cottage Reviews

Lovely hosts nothing to much trouble. beautiful quiet surroundings with outstanding countryside views. Hot tub was perfect to relax in And towels were provided. Kitchen was large with everything you would need. they have an outdoor pizza oven and barbeque we didnt use this as it was February. The farm track down to wards the farm is very rough but the wet weather hasn't helped. we would love to go back later in the year when we could make more use of the facilities.

Just home from a wonderful Christmas break at lake view. Perfect in every way with added value from the owners generosity and care.

Irtiqua

Booked for sisters 40th birthday get away. It was well stocked in kitchen appliances and entertaining for the children with books, toys dvds and animals to watch. The hosts were absolutely amazing despite sykes messing up our booking. Would 100 recommend booking the cosy cottage for a get away.

Sharon

We had a wonderful week at Lakeside cottage. Julie and Andrew are wonderful hosts who went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The cottage was amazing. It was perfect for a relaxed break in beautiful surroundings. The location was good for exploring Shropshire. We are already planning our next visit for when the weather gets better. Thank you to Julian and Andrew for everything.

Steven

The property is advertised as having wifibroadband. Sadly although there is a router positioned to minimise the signal throughout the property, this was not the case. For us working broadband was essential as two of the party had work to do online and online meetings to attend whilst we were away. Even sat in the utility room right next to the router this was impossible and they were forced on several occasions to drive to a McDonalds or Costa to work. It is simply unusable even for simple emails. A shame because otherwise the property was very clean, spacious, well appointed and with a lovely view. The dark skies were also a bonus, but the whole experience was sadly heavily tainted by the unnecessary disruption and travel out needed.

Absolute gem of a cottage. Would come back in a heart beat. Julie very responsive to messages and always around for any help required. Cottage and facilities just 100 perfect. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday.

The cottage is in a beautiful location in the middle of the countryside and the owners have made every effort to supply everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a state of the art barbecue and outside pizza oven, which unfortunately we didnt have the opportunity to use. The surrounding garden is well tended which enhance the sense of relaxation all of us felt during our stay. Perfect place for a long weekend, catching up with old friends.

Graham

Accommodation was first class and exactly as described. We had superb weather so enjoyed spending time in the large garden. Also, being remote it was very quiet and secluded. Great hosts, Julie and Andrew, were there when needed and gave us great tips of places to visit.

We had a lovely week at Lakeview cottage. It's a grand property in a tranquil location. It was lovely seeing the animals. The driveway is a bit challenging as described just need to take it slowly.

Duncan

Fantastic house in great location overlooking fields and the lake. Lots of facilities and nice and warm. Very spacious. Nice to have 3 bathrooms. Long driveway down unmade road but that was doable. Would visit again.

Elizabeth

A lovely, warm, comfortable & well equipped holiday cottage. The owners were very welcoming & we appreciated being able to contact them when needed. Our party of 6 meet annually in a cottage for a weeks stay & all agreed this was a wonderful place to stay although the weather wasnt very kind to us!!

William

A very spacious house with stunning views to the rear. Well organised and good documented information. The approach lanetrack is a nightmare, sadly, and more suited to a 4 by 4 than a saloon car. Rather detracts from the overall experience.

Enjoyed our stay very much. The track surface to access the farm was the roughest we have encountered but not helped by heavy rainfall. The house was very comfortable and clean and well equiped. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

The house is absolutely gorgeous, so well maintained, homely and special. Everything we needed. Wonderful hospitality, thank you both so much.

Kishor

Lake view cottage is fabulous. Very spacious, very well equipped kitchen, beautiful garden with stunning views, very peaceful and relaxing location. We had a wonderful time here. The owners were very friendly and helpful, highly recommend a stay at Lake View cottage.

Jonathan

A truly wonderful cottage that lives up to its listing and more. Inside is spacious and very well appointed. The views, especially from the first floor lounge are beautiful. There is an abundance of wildlife and birdlife seen from here and when walking around the grounds. The whole place is ideal for a relaxing, get away from it all holiday. The owners Julie and Andrew couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.

Lovely cottage in a lovely setting. Glorious views. Julie and Andrew, the owners, very friendly, and we would visit again.

Charles

We had a fabulous stay. The only small issue was the road to the property. It was very rough but it is a working farm so understandable. The animals were gorgeous and so well look after. The views were amazing and watching the bailing was fantastic. The place was

Michael

Wonderful house in a wonderful location run but wonderful people. We had a lovely time, thanks!

Daniel

We had an amazing Easter weekend! The layout of the property is great, with nice open spaces to socialise and the views across the fields were amazing. The children loved exploring the fields and the lake with us, and meeting the animals! Julie was really friendly and met us on arrival. She genuinely wanted to make sure all was ok, and even messaged at one point let us know there was a double rainbow over the fields. Im sure we will return!

A very well presented property, fully equipped and beautifully clean. Julie welcomed our party on arrival and was available to assist with any problems should they arise. Initially experienced some difficulties with tuning in the television but Julie sorted the matter immediately. Due to severe wet weather conditions the long driveway had many potholes which need to be filled. Julie was most apologetic for not being able to rectify this prior to our arrival. A most enjoyable and pleasant stay. Thank you

Michael

Fantastic cottage Julie even came over first night to check everything was ok thoroughly recommend this property will definitely be rebooking.

Wonderful house with stunning views. One of the most well equipped houses we have stayed in. As other reviewers have said, the farm track road to the farm is rough, but taken at a sedate pace it was not a problem.

Overall we were very happy with the property. The travel directions provided by the owner were very useful. It is a great farm house with superb views on a working property with the owner onsite next door. A good base to explore Shropshire and its surrounds.

Benjamin

We came for a 3 week work trip. House was amazing. So comfortable, warm and cosy. Perfect place to unwind after a long day. Kitchen well equipped. Plenty of space to chill, drink a beer and enjoy the views. Highly recommend. Would be perfect for a family getaway also.

Prudence

This is a wonderful property, warm and extremely comfortable. The drive there is on and unmade up road which does have to be taken very slowly but so worth the effort as it is a beautiful house set in wonderful surroundings.

Excellent property in a beautiful setting .

Suzanne

Fantastic holiday home, very comfortable & everything was provided. Peace & quiet, amazing views, was just what we required. Our host was very welcoming & checked to ensure we had everything we needed during our stay & the welcome gift was much appreciated.

A perfect week at Lake View Cottage & easily the nicest property we have ever stayed in. Very nice helpful hosts too. Wish we had booked a longer visit.

Stephen

My family and I had an amazingly relaxing week, the hosts were so friendly and helpful with the local area knowledge, and shared with us when local wildlife were active. We enjoyed all the animals, and my kids spent time enjoy the grounds and local area. We couldn't have asked for more, and intend to return in the future.

We loved our stay at Lake View Cottage, a most beautiful house. It provided everything that you could possibly need. It was clean, warm, cosy and delightfully relaxing. Lots of places to visit and lovely pubs to eat at not too far away. We loved the animals and enjoyed a walk around the lake. The garden, shrubs, flowers and trees are lovely. We enjoyed watching a few of the large collection of DVDs and the amount of books and games available are amazing. It was definitely a place you looked forward to coming back to after a busy day.

This cottage is perfect in every way, the views are outstanding, it's peaceful and quiet, the cottage is beautiful, so well equipped, everything you could wish for, a good base to enjoy days out and the owners are friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be booking again, loved it so much.

Jacqueline

What a lovely property, quite unique. Yes as other guests have said the access road is a pain but the property itself makes it worthwhile, extremely spacious and well laid out. So peaceful to sit either upstairs or downstairs and just look out towards the fields and lake. Really enjoyed our stay.

Matthew

We had a great stay at Lake View Cottage. It's a fantastic property and the hosts Julie and Andrew were so welcoming and attentive even going to the effort of telling us when it was a good night to see the sunset or look out for the blood moon or stars! Property was very spacious more than ample room for us as a family of 6. The children really enjoyed the selection of books, games and DVDs! It was a peaceful base from which to explore a lot of Shropshire. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property

We had a wonderful stay at Lake view cottage. The owners kindly left a bottle of wine and chocolates for us. We enjoyed seeing the sheep, donkeys and ducks as well as the cheeky squirrel. Julie contacted us promptly when she found we had left behind a set of keys and posted them to us arriving the following day.

We had a brilliant holiday! Lake View Cottage definitely had the wow factor! It is spacious, clean and has everything you could possibly need. We loved sitting in the mezzanine looking out over the lake and watching the sheep! Very relaxing break and Julie and Andrew were very friendly and helpful. Thank you. Regards Margaret Prior

Thanks Julie and Andrew for their welcome pack, the flowers and this extraordinary accommodation in the farm. This is one of the best accommodation we have ever been, definitely the most spacious one and is immaculately clean, very quiet and the beautiful garden. This has lots of equipment for cooking, lots of books, games,DVD and the friendly animals the donkeys, the cat, cows and the dog. We had a wonderful week there.

Absolutely amazing place. It is an isolated location which is exactly what we were looking for. Its about a mile from the nearest main road and total peace and tranquility. Its is extremely well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. There is a lovely mezzanine area on the top floor to relax and admire the beautiful countryside and of course the lake with the bird life. Lots of places to visit in the area. Very friendly owners and animals.
