The Little Barn at Holly Villa

Escape to a tranquil haven nestled in the heart of nature, where a charming, self-contained retreat awaits you and your loved one. Set beside the owner's quaint cottage, this idyllic hideaway offers a romantic sanctuary for two, surrounded by the breath-taking landscapes of the Wales/Shropshire borderlands. Step outside to explore scenic walking and cycling trails just moments from your doorstep, perfect for enjoying with your furry friends, or take a short drive to the historic town of Shrewsbury (15 miles), where cobbled streets lead to boutique shops, cosy cafés, and traditional pubs. For a taste of heritage, the magnificent Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (21 miles) and the enchanting Powis Castle and Gardens (10 miles) invite you to wander through history.
Step inside this beautifully designed two-storey retreat, where rustic charm meets modern luxury. Park in your private space and enter the open-plan living and kitchen area, where exposed beams, a romantic wood burner, and a plush sofa create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The stylish yet compact kitchen is perfect for preparing intimate meals to enjoy at the cosy breakfast table. After dinner, unwind on the sofa, letting the flickering fire set the mood as you catch up on your favourite TV shows. As night falls, ascend the wooden staircase to the mezzanine, where a sumptuous king-size bed awaits, offering stunning views over the paddock and breathtaking sunsets. In the morning, refresh under the sleek rainfall shower and enjoy the warmth of heated towels for a truly indulgent start to your day.
For an extra touch of indulgence, consider ordering a freshly prepared cooked breakfast served by your welcoming host, or indulge in a delightful breakfast hamper. These personalised dining options ensure a truly unforgettable stay.
Outside, the private garden offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a tranquil pond and a picturesque paddock shaded by apple trees. Fire up the charcoal BBQ for a delightful al fresco meal, then gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. Whether you're seeking adventure or pure relaxation, this romantic country escape promises a memorable stay filled with special moments.
