August Everlasting

Holiday Rental Description

Longing for some fresh air? This idyllic retreat promises plenty of peace, quiet and relaxation in the countryside. Nestled right on the Welsh border, scenic walks await right on your doorstep, so be sure to pack your hiking boots. No matter what time of year, you'll find something to keep you busy – be it stretching your legs with a ramble through the sheep-dotted Shropshire Hills, taking in the views from Montgomery Castle's ruined battlements or rewarding yourself after a busy day with a pint at one of the local pubs.

Back at home, the warm living area is packed with squishy sofas, well-thumbed books, board games and classic country charm. Whether you're reading in the overstuffed armchairs or snuggling up for a family film night, it's the definition of cosy, especially with the fire burning on wintery evenings. We think kids will be happy here, too. The third bedroom has children's books and delightful bunk beds, creating a little hideaway for when they crave their own space. At mealtimes, come together around the dining table for a homecooked feast – made with love in the quaint kitchen – but in the summer, it'll be hard to resist firing up the barbecue and dining alfresco on the terrace, admiring the gorgeous scenery.

Home truths:
*The third bedroom consists of a single bed and a bunk bed with a double bed on the bottom and a single bed on top
*This home can sleep up to six adults and two children, but as the third double bed is on the bottom bunk, we think it's a better fit for four adults
*You'll definitely need a car in this area as it's pretty rural – there's private off-road parking for up to four cars
*A cot and high chair can be provided on request
*The vanity in the main bedroom or the dining table can be used as a desk
