“the cottage was very comfortable, ...”

the cottage was very comfortable, the area and location were fantastic and very peaceful with friendly neighbours and our hosts were helpful and available. There was a lack of some crockery, i.e. there was no sugar bowl and no small side plates.

the cottage was very comfortable, the area and location were fantastic and very peaceful with friendly neighbours and our hosts were helpful and available. There was a lack of some crockery, i.e. there was no sugar bowl and no small side plates. It could be more dog friendly by having a small enclosed fenced area for the dogs, as it was very hot the dogs could not have access to an outside cool area without being restrained. An ideal retreat with easy access to places of interest.

“It was in a beautiful Shropshire ...”

It was in a beautiful Shropshire valley cosy yet spacious with friendly and helpful owners who made us feel at home straight away, and a shire horse to visit! The wood burner warmed the whole place so quickly, just as well as it was cold outside!!

“The Hop Barn was an excellent place ...”

The Hop Barn was an excellent place for our short visit and would make a wonderful location for a walking or touring holiday. Our host was very welcoming and the cottage was both clean and cosy. The wood-burning stove was a real treat to come back to after a busy day touring. We would certainly come back.

“Warm and friendly”

Our stay at Hop Barn was very enjoyable and It proved to be an excellent base for exploring Shropshire with our dog. The cottage itself is warm and is well equipped with plenty of space to relax in. Our host was on holiday for most of our stay, but her friends and neighbours proved very helpful and friendly. The garden is enclosed, which meant that our dog could be safely let out, though she barked rather a lot at the cows and the other dogs and at night when she heard anyone outside in the gravel. The internet is a little slow making it impossible to stream video, but otherwise fine.

“Idillic Retreat to build Happy Memories”

Spend 2 weeks with 2 adults and a 3 and 7 year old. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and the animals all vey friendly. The accommodation has been really well designed and allowed us to blend in comfortably. The hottest day of the year was no issue with roof vents and cool bedrooms below ground level. Excellent central heating when required. Good light and space. Bedrooms and bathroom occupy full-footprint second storey, not obvious from the pictures. Time slowed down for us and made our 2 weeks feel more like 3-4. Wonderful break from work.

“Truly wonderful”

I spent a very happy week here with my partner and 12 year old. It's a beautiful, comfortable, well-equipped property in a stunning part of the country, and we would certainly wish to return. The living room is so cozy we loved spending time 'in' despite our best intentions to be out from dawn to dusk doing things. The master bedroom has a wonderful mattress and lots of good books. The owners were responsive, professional, and friendly, even running us up to the (very delicious local) pub for dinner on our arrival. My daughter loved the proximity to the sheep, horse, cows, and the orange cat. It feels nicely like you've dropped off the edge of the earth, with the high hedgerows throughout the tiny village, but this is wonderful. Additionally, it is situated beautifully for many interesting day trips. Loved it, and would absolutely return!

“Hidden hideaway”

The property was hidden away down a slightly scarily narrow road (though it seemed to widen with practice), so very quiet. A small place but characterful, bright and comfortable.

“Pretty village location.”

I can't actually remember which month I stayed here. I liked the layout very much. It was spacious and interesting. The owner was away however and I returned one afternoon to find the cleaners there. They thought I had left. (the owner did not apologise for this intrusion.) The bedroom is below ground level so has a dampish smell, but with heaters and electric blanket I was warm enough.I liked the facilities and furnishings. I had difficulty with the door lock, but got it working with WD40. I would stay again, but find it too expensive for just the two of us.

About the location

CLEOBURY MORTIMER

Bridgnorth 10 miles; Ludlow 12 miles.

The pretty little town of Cleobury Mortimer is situated in the rural heart of South Shropshire. The town offers a refreshing selection of individual shops, pubs and restaurants, but is most famous for its unique church, which has a peculiar crooked steeple.

There is excellent walking locally in the Clee Hills and the Wyre Forest, and horseriding, golf and fishing are available close by.
