Oakwood Cottage is a lovely spacious pet friendly cottage in Shropshire sitting on a quiet spot in the village with no passing traffic. The cottage has footpaths from the door onto the Shropshire Way and there is also a hardstanding mile long footpath to the Old Jack Inn which is dog friendy and serves great food. The cottage sleeps upto four people and two dogs in this property. The large garden is safe and secure for children and dogs with 6 foot fencing. There is safe and secure parking for 2 cars only. On wednesday evenings, the village is alive with the sound of church bells ringing from the beautiful church St Johns on bell practice ringing night and is a delight to hear.
Oakwood is central for Cheshire/Shropshire/Staffordshire and Wales and so there are many places to visit, such as the world famous Ironbridge and nine National Trust Houses and Gardens. We are fortunate to live close by to a wonderful nature reserve with woodland walks and the award winning canalside village of Audlem with its circular walks and tearooms. Whitchurch is our nearest town which is a lovely town with many shops and supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsburys who will deliver to the cottage. For the walkers, there are twelve lovely scenic walks starting from Whitchurch ranging from 2.5-15 miles long.
For the gardeners, we have Wolerton Gardens, Dorothy Clive Gardens, Bridgemere Garden World and Hodnet Hall and Gardens within half an hour away as well as the Hawkestone Follies.

This a a spacious lounge with a lovely bay window overlooking the front lawn. The dining table seats four people and there is also comfortable seating whilst watching the 43″ smart tv with freeview. The cosy woodburner will be made up on arrival with a starter pack of sticks and logs .
A lovely light room with french doors leading onto the patio and lawn. There is a very comfortable king size bed and a triple wardrobe to store your holiday clothes. Quality bedding is supplied as well as egyptian towels.
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 who has the Chef in the wood who sells very tasty home-made pies and pasties. We have five very good eating pubs including our village pub The Olde Jack Inn which is dog friendly (25 minute walk) and The White Lion at Ash and there is also a super Indian restaurant that will deliver to the cottages.
Another light and airy room with two full size single beds. There is a country dresssing table and wardrobe in this room with views over the garden. Quality bedding is supplied with egyptian towels.
A spacious family bathroom which has a full size bath, perfect to soak in after a good days walk. There is also a wc and a wash bowl in this room.
This is a cosy en-suite which has a shower cubicle and leads from bedroom one. A wash bowl and wc plus a shaver point is also in this room.
Oakwood is perfect for people who require peace and quiet but not too far away from the hustle and bustle of the local towns and villages. This is a perfect base for exploring the many places which this lovely part of Shropshire has to offer.
Smoking and vapping is not permitted in this cottage.
We are on hand as we are only 5 minutes away if there is a problem
A lovely private garden with trees and shrubs. This garden is safe and secure for children and dogs as the fencing is 6 foot high. The garden furniture is put out during the spring and summer months which is lovely for outdoor eating.
There are two private parking spaces infront of Oakwood.
We love dogs as we have three rescue dogs ourselves. Two dogs are most welcome at Oakwood but we would ask guests not to leave them alone in the cottage as dogs can stress in strange surroundings and damage may occur. There is a circular walk from Oakwood which passes the church as well as two footpaths which will take you onto the Shropshire Way trails and to the White Lion at Ash. The village has now got a link up pathway between Ightfield and Calverhall and this leads to The Olde Jack Inn which is very dog friendly and they serve tasty FP (farmer portions) meals.
The wifi is free and has a strong signal as the village is on fibre network.
