Newly converted gig house with extensive views over the Shropshire plains during the day and of wide starry skies at night. Situated just a few miles outside the market town of Oswestry where you will find everything you need. Chester, Llangollen and Shrewsbury are also within reach. The property is very close to Offa's Dyke and offers footpaths over beautiful border countryside. Underfloor heating and a cosy woodburner make this a lovely getaway any time of year. Electricity and fuel for the fire are included. The property is set within the owner's grounds and offers the opportunity to use an established painting studio if you wish.

A well appointed property in the most peaceful setting. We used it as a rest stop and base to visit the Llangollen railway. Oswestry was lovely and we met so many friendly people.
The Gig House is a perfect getaway retreat in the most fabulous location. The views are stunning and the house well furnished and equipped. Would highly recommend.
A lovely barn conversion with nice modern fittings. Excellent views over the countryside. Perfect for getting away from it all but also a good base for exploring the region.
We had an amazing time, loved every minute of the gig house, the place itself is perfect you couldnt possibly want for more inside and out .We will definitely be returning to this gem of a property in the future.
The property is in a remarkable position with amazing views close to all facilities you need in Oswestry. The property is fully equipped to a high standard and is very comfortable.
The Gig was even better than we had expected from the description and photos. It was the ideal place to stay for 3 nights to attend a local wedding. The place was very clean and well equipped, we had everything we needed. The design of the house is very clever and a lovely space to spend time in. Our hosts were really friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable! The view superb. Just perfect.
We stayed for four weeks while we were in between properties. We had a lovely welcome, but we were then left to have complete privacy. It is so quiet & picturesque. We will probably return for a chill out at some time.
If you like being away from it all, being immersed in the countryside (right on the Shropshire/Welsh border) with gorgeous views and foraging badgers for companions, then this is the place. The ‘gig house’ is spotlessly clean, with modern decor and just about everything you could need including logs for the burner, staples in the cupboards, a smart coffee machine and good wi-fi. Highly recommended.
Wonderful hidden gem in the depths of the rural Shropshire countryside. The property is a real delight full of character and charm. Look forward to staying there again in the near future.
The owner was extremely helpful and the property was clean and as described. You won't be disappointed!
Nice property
Fantastic location.
Peace and quiet
Well equipped kitchen
Plentiful supply of logs
Downside was no instructions for coffee maker.
Bathroom was a bit grubby- cobwebs and tiles where floor joined walls could do with a scrub.
But overall we enjoyed our stay
Absolutely faultless hospitality - beautiful home, with everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. The views are heavenly and the walks in the immediate area were perfect (see the very helpful guides provided). One of the nicest breaks we've ever had.
If you enjoy a place where the loudest noise is the munching of cows or call of birds, where the view stretches for miles, where you can walk straight from the door, and yet be warm and comfortable with great shower, tech, kitchen and sofas - then this place is for you. Highly recommended.
The owner was fantastic with communication. The property was clean and very well equipped. The views from the property where breath taking. A perfect retreat for relaxing in front of the log burner.
