Exuding charm and sophistication, this exquisite barn conversion on the prestigious Downton Estate is the ultimate indulgent escape for couples and their four-legged companions. A seamless blend of rustic elegance and contemporary luxury, this retreat offers a haven of tranquillity for those who adore the finer things in life—whether that’s unwinding in opulent surroundings or exploring the breathtaking countryside right on your doorstep. Straddling the Shropshire and Herefordshire border, lace up your walking shoes and immerse yourself in 5,000 acres of magical English countryside —perfect for scenic dog walks, invigorating hikes, or leisurely picnics. Just beyond the estate, the dramatic landscapes of the Shropshire Hills AONB beckon, with picturesque market towns like Ludlow (8mls)—renowned for its fine dining and medieval charm. Just across the lane, Old Downton Lodge, a small rural restaurant, offers an exclusive partnership, where you can enjoy fine dining with a 10% discount, afternoon tea or a gourmet breakfast, served in a charming 18th-century farmhouse setting.

Beneath the rustic stone exterior, you’ll find a haven of contemporary country cottage charm in the spacious kitchen/diner, which boasts a combination of elegant decor and exposed timber beams that’ll capture your imagination, inspiring you to get creative with tasty local produce. Follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the adjoining lounge to unwind at the end of a busy day’s adventure; exposed brickwork and sumptuous, homely touches create a truly cosy ambience. Brimming with character, featuring beautiful, exposed beams and quirky sloped ceiling, the king-size bedroom upstairs provides cosiness and sophistication in equal measure. Crisp white linens promise a restful night’s sleep, while the en-suite bathroom, with its soaring ceiling, sleek contemporary design, and indulgent lovers’ bath, adds a touch of pure luxury.
