Bracken
Bracken
Perched high with sweeping views over the Shropshire Hills, Bracken is an elevated off-grid cabin made for those who love a bit of wilderness with their comfort. Reached on foot via a long, winding woodland path, she sits proudly on the corner of a field, complete with a landscaped outdoor seating area and a private enclosed balcony - the perfect spot to breathe in the peace and listen to the sounds of nature.
Inside, Bracken’s panelled interior feels instantly inviting, with plenty of space for two. There’s a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy living area, and a bathroom with a hot shower, soft linen bedding, and luxury towels and toiletries. Built for slow, simple living, she comes stocked with a phone lockbox, instant camera, and a radio-cassette player - everything you need to switch off and enjoy life offline. Like all our cabins, Bracken runs on solar power, offering a sustainable escape without compromising on comfort. It's slightly larger than all our other cabins, so a great choice for those needing a little more space or bringing a travel cot.
Named after the landowner’s beloved pooch, Bracken is dog-friendly too! The enclosed balcony means your four-legged friend can enjoy the fresh air safely while joining you on a cosy countryside staycation.
Please note that the field beside Bracken may have some light farming activity at certain times of year - we’ll always do our best to let you know in advance if that’s likely during your stay. The drive up to Bracken’s parking spot is along a farm track, so it’s worth checking the FAQs below for more details before you set off.

Loved that I have already answered and received an acknowledgement!
The concept and location are amazing and we really appreciated the chance to get away. The cabin is well designed and constructed. We were treated to quite variable weather, which is how it should be, including fog first thing on Monday morning so we could only see 20 metres. The anticipation of the view that would appear was good fun!
Loved the Views, how secluded it was, dog friendly balcony!
Loved everything, it was perfect!
Loved the great views, incredibly peaceful, comfy bed!
Loved the location, gorgeous views. The peace and quiet.
Loved the views. In awe of the hills. and surrounding nature. Insta worthy and well equipped cabin. Remote aspect and the fact it's on private farmland with the landowner living on site from a safety perspective.
