The Owl House
Pulverbatch, Shropshire
- Semi Enclosed Garden
Why we love it
Hidden away from the world, this treehouse has bathing and cooking options indoors and out, and more style than you know what to do with
"So many places to relax in!"
Our dogs loved the enclosed garden, and the fact they were allowed on the settee once covered with the throw. The humans loved the peace and quiet, and both of the bath tubs. There were so many spaces to relax in!

The place
Tucked away so well even the locals barely know about it, you’ll descend into this peaceful little dingle (a deep wooded valley) and feel your muscles begin to loosen on the approach. With trees growing up through the deck, and encircling the treehouse, meals can be had under the canopy’s shade, or indoors where you’ll find the well-equipped and modern kitchen sharing a space with the lounge. You’re right on the edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB, so days out are plentiful here, but you’d be just as easily tempted to sit by the reading window, cuddled with the dog, a great book, and the log burner crackling away. Hidden away from the world, this is an incredible space for downtime, and the views from every window will have you relishing this magical little world all to yourself.
In the neighbourhood
- Walk from the door: From the property you are right on the edge of the Shropshire Hills, there’s plenty of wild to take advantage of as there are miles tracks and treks in every direction.
- The Bottle and Glass, 7-minute drive or 45-minute walk. As hidden away as you are, you’re not too far from the local. Either a short drive, or a healthy walk to rustle up an appetite, it’s dog friendly, and a great place to sit fireside with a local pint.
- The Bridges Pub, 12-minute drive. A dog-friendly pub with a farm to table ethos. Their food is local, seasonal, sustainable and, most of all, delicious.
- Church Stretton, 20-minute drive. Pop here for the market on Thursdays, or nip into one of the local dog-friendly establishments – The Kings Arms, The Buck’s Head or The Old Coppers Malt House. Or a café: the Hollybush Café, Berry’s or Jemima’s Kitchen at Victoria House.
