About The Dog House

The Dog House is a luxury one-bedroom lodge just 4 miles west of Shrewsbury in beautiful Shropshire. This 5-star rated property offers a perfect escape for couples and their four-legged friends. Private hot tub in converted stables means you can soak away your troubles while your dogs snooze nearby.

Set in stunning Shropshire countryside, this romantic retreat gives you the best of both worlds. Explore Shrewsbury's 600+ listed buildings or tackle the walking trails around Church Stretton. After a day out, return to your secluded garden with patio seating and quirky sculptures. The hot tub's big enough for gymnastics - though we recommend keeping that for the bedroom!

The accommodation features one bedroom but two bathrooms (because nothing says romance like not having to watch your partner floss). The fully-equipped kitchen includes electric oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher. There's even a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer - because dog walks can get messy.

Nearby attractions include Shrewsbury Castle (10 mins), the famous Abbey (12 mins), Ironbridge Gorge Museums (25 mins) and Attingham Park (15 mins). Shrewsbury Golf Club is perfect for those who enjoy chasing small balls around fields.

The Dog House offers enclosed garden for pet safety and even a lockable heated kennel with security lighting. Private parking for two cars means you can bring both your midlife crisis vehicles.

The Dog House Reviews

James
We had a really lovely stay. The house was super comfy and perfect for our pup, with a secure garden and plenty of walks nearby. Our rescue dog is a bit nervous, so the kennel and dog run were a lifesaver. The utility room with a crate was handy too. Andy was such a friendly host, sharing great walk tips. Our shy girl even made friends with Roly. Definitely deserves the five stars!

We had an awesome stay! The house is huge, especially the kitchen, which was perfect for cooking.
