Description: About Oakpond Cottage, Briarhill Farm

3 Bedroom Dog-Friendly Country Cottage with Wildlife Pond and Beautiful Gardens

Oakpond is one of three beautiful award winning holiday cottages enjoying a glorious rural setting near Whitchurch in Shropshire close to the Cheshire/Shropshire border. The idyllic farm holiday cottages sit in a very tranquil location overlooking a lovely wildlife pond which is home to ducks, moorhens and other wildlife.

There is also an indoor spa hot tub that can be hired by arrangement.

This welcoming holiday home is pet-friendly and can sleep from 2 to 6 people in 3 bedrooms and features a lovely warming woodburner.

The cottage has been awarded a Gold Award for quality accommodation and customer care for the fifth year, assessed by Shropshire Tourism.

The farm cottages are nestled in the heart of 103 acres of farmland thus offer peace and tranquillity yet are only a 10 minute drive to the two market towns Whitchurch and Market Drayton. An ancient peat Nature Reserve is only a 5 minute drive with beautiful walks and wildlife in the woods. These country cottages are central for Staffordshire/Cheshire/Shropshire and the Welsh counties as well as Shrewsbury and Chester.
 

For keen walkers, the Beeston and Peckforton Hills are nearby. Other good places for walking can be found at Hawkestone Follies and there are a number of circular walks along the Shropshire Union Canal. Haughmond Forest is heaven for the dogs to explore as is Brown Moss Nature Reserve. There is a championship golf course at Hawkestone Park and a further 3 golf courses nearby. Good fishing is available at Dearnford Lake and there are 3 more pools close by on farms. Route 45 passes through our village which has 4 scenic cycle route for the cyclist. We do have a secure lock-up storage.


Hot Tub Available to Hire

There is the option to hire our hot tub which is very relaxing after a good days walking or cycling. The hot tub is indoors and overlooks the countryside and is very private. (a small charge applies for using this facility. Please ask for extra details regarding booking)  Bromine is used which is better for skin and does not have a strong chemical smell unlike chlorine.

Janet, date of stay: March 2022.

Lovely cosy cottage, off the beaten track, so lovely and peaceful. Very friendly hosts who offer recommendations for places to visit and eat. Super clean house which is very well equipped, the kitchen had everything we needed to self cater easily. We used the hot tub, and was impressed, it was lovely to be indoors but still able to watch the sheep grazing in the fields. Highly recommended, and we would love to return again. Thank you

Donna, date of stay: June 2021.

Fantastic relaxing break. Bev and Mark go all out to make you feel welcome on the farm. A lovely away from it all retreat couldn't ask for more.

Whitchurch

In North Shropshire, Whitchurch provides an excellent base for cycling, walking, fishing, visiting Ironbridge World Heritage Site, shopping visits to nearby Chester and Shrewsbury or exploring the Welsh Marches or Shropshire Lakes - all around half an hour's drive away.

Whitchurch is positioned on a Roman route to Chester and near a border that was fought over for many centuries, so there are many sites of historical interest in the area.   Parking in the town centre is free and there are plenty of spaces.  If you visit Victoria Park in the centre of town you will see several short walks taking you out of town and along canalside and into a nearby Country Park. 

 A walk to Grindly Brook Cafe is always worth it as the food there is great and you can sit and watch the canal boats in the locks.  Nearby Hawkstone Park is popular with both young and old, although it is admittedly for the fitter amongst us. It is made up of intricate pathways, ravines, arches and bridges and King Arthur addressing his troops in the awesome caves.
