Oakpond Cottage is a warm and cosy home from home country cottage sitting on 140 acres of Shropshire countryside amongst a wonderful waterside setting. There are lovely views from every window and the cottage is surrounded by an abundance of trees and wildlife.
There are lots of wonderful walks including Brown Moss nature Reserve with its woodland walks and Audlem with its canal locks walks. Our lane is safe for dog walking and we also have a exercise field for your dogs to let off some steam but must be supervised and put on a lead if there are cattle next to the field.
Oakpond can be booked with Oaktree but otherwise only one cottage is let out at any one time.
This is a lovely country kitchen/diner which has large windoe french doors opening out onto the patio and garden with wonderful views over the fields and wildlife pond. There is a microwave, a large 70/30 fridge freezer, dishwasher, tv/DVD and oven (electric) plus a slow cooker. The pine dresser keeps all the games and jigsaws for those rainy days. There is a safety gate across the french doors due to the water for children and dogs. A real traditional country kitchen.
This cosy beamed Lounge is fully carpeted and has comfortable seating whilst watching the 40″ tv/DVD with free view. We do have a large DVD library with a selection of films to watch. Views of the wildlife pond and gardens from your comfortable seating are lovely with the added comfort of the cosyy glowing embers of the electric wood burner which is perfect for those winter nights.
This room is perfect for guests who want to want their privacy as it is a very relaxing room to ponder in. There is a cd player and radio as well as a desk for your laptop. The information files on walks and where to go are kept in here as well as a good selection of reading books.
The cottage is rural but only 10 minutes away from an award-winning canalside village and 2 lovely towns (Nantwich and Whitchurch ) as well as the beautiful Brown Moss Nature Reserve, which has the Chef in the wood who sells very tasty home-made pies and pasties. There is also a wild swimming and water park close by. We have five very good eating pubs including our village pub The Olde Jack Inn which is dog friendly and The White Lion at Ash and there is also a super Indian restaurant that will deliver to the cottages.
Smoking/ vaping and charging your car is not permitted in this cottage.
