About this property

1 Clarkes Lane is a lovely holiday cottage in the heart of St Martins, Shropshire. This wonderful holiday home is split into two, one main house and one annexe, with both being pet-friendly accommodation for a furry friend and Smart TVs in every bedroom so you're never behind on your favourite shows! This delightful retreat is ideal for a group of family or friends seeking a tranquil escape right on the Welsh border. Inside the main cottage, guests will find a delightful kitchen/diner with everything the chef of the group needs to cook up a delicious meal, a welcoming living/dining room with a glowing woodburning stove for evenings by the fire and a games room next door for those seeking some friendly competition in table tennis and darts. The smaller annexe is a wonderful choice for the couple within the group, hosting its own kitchen and living/dining room. It also offers a touch of extra privacy and indulgence with an en-suite bathroom attached to the queen-size bedroom. Outside, the front garden offers a pleasant space for your four-legged friend to roam, complete with a lawn, gravelled area, furniture and a barbecue, perfect for those warm summer evenings. You can even enjoy a dip in your own private hot tub! When it comes to catching your rest, all the bedrooms are spacious and well-kept with three generous queen-size rooms and one bunk room, ideal for younger guests. In the morning, take advantage of the family bathroom to freshen up with either a hot soak or a steamy rinse. When you're ready to venture out, why not start off close to home and visit one of the local pubs in the neighbouring villages to sample the local pub grub? Or try out the restaurant over at Henlle Hall to give the chef the night off. For any essentials you might need, Stan's Superstore is ideally located in the centre of the village and has almost anything you could need. Further out, delight in exploring some local treasures like the National Trust - Erddig, a fine House surrounded by its own country park, or step back to Bronze Age times at the impressive Old Oswestry Hill Fort. Be sure to visit the Cambrian Heritage Railways and the adjacent Cambrian Railway Museum, offering a glimpse into the area's industrial past. For a unique outing, why not marvel at the triumph of the Chirk Aqueduct, or relish in a family day out at Park Hall The Countryside Experience, housing farm animals, play areas, and an exciting maze? Finally, the picture-perfect town of Llangollen is within easy reach, with a choice of eateries and walking routes, as well at the River Dee which runs directly through the town, making a lovely lunch spot alongside. A truly wonderful holiday is just a click away at 1 Clarkes Lane.
