Annie's Cabin

Annie's Cabin, Caynham Mill, Caynham, Ludlow, Shropshire, England

Wonderfully chunky, seductively snug and full of fun and the sweet smell of new wood. Drop down from the road, pass under the oak, turn right, and there's Annie's Cabin – bordered by meadow, brook and trees. It's brand new, built of Douglas fir, topped with a solar-panelled roof and beautifully finished inside with polished oak floors and doors. A wood pellet stove in shiny red enamel kicks out warmth, French windows to the meadows let the sun stream in and two decked terraces, one facing south, are more than conducive to a glass of red and a good book. There's a cosy-cabin mood for couples or a fairy tale feel for families and reams of space for outdoor games. Inside is open-plan and full of lovely touches: a guitar on the wall, books on the shelf, maps in the drawer, DVDs, leather sofa and armchairs, a small classy telly and sound system. The kitchen style is cream Shaker, the china is dark maroon and the white goods are as green as can be. Bedrooms are peaceful and cosy, while the wet room is impeccably minimalist. Everything is lovely, and that includes the welcome from the owners, who live in the mill house up the bank. If we were guests, we'd shop in Ludlow's food markets (two miles off) and spend the evening in, maybe baking pizzas under the stars in the hand-built earth oven – yum!

Very wheelchair-friendly.
