Picture postcard perfect and dating back to the 17th century, in a peaceful village setting overlooking the village Mere, Magpie Cottage is a perfect retreat for families and dogs
This picture-perfect country cottage dating back to 1668 offers families an idyllic rural getaway. Situated in the tranquil village of Hanmer, guests can explore North Wales, Shropshire and Cheshire from here, with some stunning scenery on your doorstep and attractive historic market towns nearby. Overlooking Hanmer Mere, the cottage itself looks like something out of a fairy tale, so step inside and soak up the magic as you leave the hectic pace of everyday life behind.
As perfect on the inside as it is on the outside, this sympathetically renovated property is immaculately presented. Light neutral tones create a bright and airy feel, whilst contemporary touches bring it into the 21st century and original features add character and charm. The lounge is cosy and comfortable and the well-equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook, with both rooms having views of the Mere. The spacious dining room has a wood burner, so you can eat in style and warmth. From here, head upstairs to the two gorgeous bedrooms (a super king-size and a twin) where one leads into the other. Completing the accommodation is a stylish shower room. Outside, enjoy al fresco dining against the unspoilt backdrop of the Mere or stretch your legs on the lawn.
Keen walkers will be able to discover many popular trails such as the Shropshire Way, Offa’s Dyke and the Cheshire Sandstone Way. All of these offer plenty of opportunities to appreciate the local flora and fauna amongst the stunning scenery. Or perhaps you’d prefer to get your daily exercise with a wild swim in Hanmer Mere itself! Hopping over the border, historic town Shrewsbury (20.5 miles) and the city of Chester (25.5 miles) are worth a visit.
