"Amazing little cottage for two!"
Beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean and cosy. The gardens are absolutely lovely and a good viewing spot to see surrounding countryside. Owners very friendly and welcoming. Ludo (their dog) always happy to see you. Home made cake and free range eggs from own chickens a great treat! Not to be missed! A great base for visiting local area and towns, or just enjoying country walks, and relaxing. A great little gem getaway!

"Superfriendly hosts, lovely cottage."
A great base from which to discover the area, we have really enjoyed our week there. You do need a (rental) car to get there.
Thank you Rik it was lovely to meet you both. Property Owner

"We had a very warm welcome from Clare and Chris, and the cottage is lovely, set in beautiful countryside, the gardens are stunning and everything maintained to a very high standard, and spotlessly clean."
Clare provided two fabulous meals as well as fresh eggs and milk, home made cake and marmalade, and we were even offered home made ice cream. It really felt like a home from home. The only slight downside was the bed (I have a back problem) and the lack of washing machine.
It was lovely to meet you both and Frankie. I am so glad you enjoyed exploring this part of Shropshire and appreciated all the home made food. I am sorry you found the bed a little uncomfortable it is on our list of things to upgrade. Have noted your helpful comments and am always happy if asked to do a washing load for guests. Hope to see you again. Thank you for your wonderful review. Property Owner

"We stayed at Foxholes Barn for 16 nights and it was simply perfect for 2 adults and 1 small dog."
The barn has everything you might need and is maintained to a high level of cleanliness. The owners are genuinely nice people who want you to enjoy your stay and go above and beyond to achieve this. Would we return to Foxholes Barn…..without doubt a massive yes.
Thank you so much Trevor. It was so nice to get to know you all over Christmas and New Year. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and I am extremely grateful for all your hard work on departure. The annex was left spotless. We hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"We are just back from a great 5 night stay Foxholes Barn is very well equipped, well maintained and very clean."
It was very comfortable and quiet. Clare and Chris are great hosts. Fresh flowers, homemade marmalade and a great chocolate brownie on arrival plus eggs from the resident chickens. They bought us over a, fresh from the Aga, loaf of bread. We had to cut a couple of slices off straight away. The dogs were always pleased to see us. Will certainly return.
So glad you enjoyed your trip to this beautiful part of Shropshire. Thank you for your kind words, it was really good to meet you and I very much enjoyed our varied chats. I was inspired to make a batch of delicious Liquorice ice cream! You left everything so clean and tidy, for which I am very grateful. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Beautiful property in a tranquil location."
Clare and Chris made us feel very welcome and the treats left for us were greatly enjoyed. Take advantage of a home cooked meal freshly prepared by Clare (we highly recommend the fish pie),beautiful baking from ginger cake to award winning Bakewell tart and a delicious chocolate brownie. Two lovely dogs Gus And Ludo like a friendly greet and fuss too. Spotlessly clean house and everything you need for a short break or longer, we look forward to a return visit. Thanks again Hellen Steve and Syd
It was a pleasure to meet you both and Syd. Glad you enjoyed a relaxing start to your summer holiday. Thank you for your kind words and for leaving everything so spick and span!! Much appreciated. Hope to welcome you back. Property Owner

"We stayed at Foxholes Barn for 4 nights with our spaniel Chester."
The owners Chris and Clare are very welcoming and hospitable. The accommodation is in a good location to explore the local towns and plenty of nearby walks. We got to sample Clare baking and home made icecream which was very tasty and was lovely to be able to let Chester run round the courtyard with their 2 good. Plenty of dog friendly pubs in the area and would highly recommend the Pheasant inn for food. The accommodation has everything you need and a very well supplied kitchen. Good WiFi speed too even being in the middle of the countryside. We would definitely recommend for a peaceful break away.
We both really enjoyed meeting you. Thank you for leaving things so very clean and tidy. It was so nice to see Chester and our two dogs so relaxed together. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We had a very comfortable stay at Foxholes Barn."
Clare and Chris had thought of everything. Accommodation, setting, location, advice and knowledge was outstanding. Thoughtful and friendly hosts with attention to detail. Fresh flowers, homemade marmalade, cake, biscuits and fresh eggs and biscuits for our dog. Ludlow a fast and pleasant drive also visited Bridgnorth, Tenbury Wells and Burford Gardens. Home cooked meals available and delicious. Excellent Wi-Fi connection. Highly recommend and will definitely return.
Thank you Graham and Eileen. It was super to meet you. You left the annex beautifully clean and tidy, which was very helpful that day and much appreciated. Hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"Had the most amazing stay back in June."
Clare was the most welcoming host. She really went the extra mile to make us feel at home. Homemade ginger cake, biscotti and delicious ice cream! She was patient with our barky Dachshund’s, who also had the best time. The barn was super cosy and very well equipped, perfect for a mini break. Could not recommend Foxholes Barn enough!
Very much appreciate you taking the time to give us such positive feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay and all the homemade treats. Property Owner

"The very comfortable accommodation is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean."
The rural location is great for walks with the dog and very peaceful. The hosts Clare and Chris were very welcoming and friendly. The welcome pack was a real treat of homemade goodies. We took advantage of a meal on the first night and can highly recommend the lasagna.

"Beautifully converted building in the courtyard of the main house."
Very quiet location. Easy drive to Cleobury Mortimer and Tenbury Wells. Hosts Claire and Chris were friendly and helpful (but also left us alone to enjoy our stay!), and their directions to the barn were excellent. We only stayed two nights but it gave us the last minute quiet weekend escape we'd hoped for. Would happily go back again and recommend it to others.
Thank you Valerie. Glad you enjoyed your weekend and hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"We have just spent three nights in the superbly equipped Foxholes Barn accommodation, Farlow in the Shropshire Countryside brilliantly run by husband and wife duo Chris and Clair along with their two Weimaraner dogs both of which are very active and very friendly."
The hosts are extremely warm and accommodating doing their best to make sure that your stay at the Barn is nothing short of pleasant and enjoyable, they are willing to prepare and cook a variety of meals for you and offer freshly baked bread and eggs laid daily by their named chickens along with other delicious home made condiments upon arrival which is unexpected but very thoughtful. They are also a wealth of knowledge and information on all things Farlow, the surrounding areas and the Shropshire Countryside. The location is not as remote as first anticipated with a neighbour a few feet away and other dwellings a few minutes car drive away. The setting can only be described as idilic with considerable countryside and rolling hills on all sides fantastic for rambling and dog walking if that’s your thing. We enjoyed every minute at the location with the only regret being that we should have come away with more than the two dozen freshly laid eggs we requested before our departure, maybe next time. Sidney,Veronika and Loki
It was lovely to meet you all. So glad you enjoyed your time with us. Thank you for your kind and comprehensive review. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"We had a very enjoyable week."
The hosts Clare and Chris were very helpful and friendly. The little extras, home made cake, marmalade and fresh eggs were a lovely touch and the meal prepared by Clare for my first night was excellent. My two dogs played happily with the resident dogs which were also very friendly. The location of the cottage was very rural and peaceful and all that could be heard was birdsong and lambs bleating. I enjoyed the wider location and would love to return at some point and would stay in the cottage again. It was like visiting a friend rather than a paid holiday.
It was lovely to meet you Jacky I’m so glad you enjoyed your week away with us. Thank you for leaving everything so clean and tidy. Hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

"We returned today, having the the pleasure of staying in Foxeholes Barn Shropshire, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish."
The hosts of the accommodation were nothing short of excellent. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail made me feel welcome and at home throughout my stay. They were always ready to assist with any inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. Clare cooked us a fantastic meal for our first night. It was amazing. The location of the accommodation was truly enchanting. Nestled in the heart of Shropshire, surrounded by picturesque countryside, it provided a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay, making it a perfect retreat. Speaking of the countryside, the natural beauty of Shropshire is simply unparalleled. The rolling hills, meandering rivers, and charming villages create a postcard-worthy setting. Exploring the local countryside was a highlight of my trip, and I appreciated the easy access from the accommodation to the scenic landscapes. Overall, my stay in Foxeholes Barn was a memorable and rejuvenating experience. The combination of excellent hosts, a idyllic location, and stunning countryside made it a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend Shropshire to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of charm and hospitality.
It was really nice to meet you Kelly I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and found it to be the relaxing experience you were hoping for. Thank you so much for your very kind comments. Clare. Property Owner

"Clare and Chris are fabulous hosts and we had some really tasty meals which Clare cooks herself."
The barn is lovely and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. There were some lovely touches, fresh eggs from the hens, dog treats and some flowers placed in the kitchen. The surrounding area is beautiful and very peaceful. We would highly recommend staying at Foxhole Barns.
Thank you Carol. So lovely to meet you, Fred and Ozzie. Glad you enjoyed your stay and the extra treats. P.s. there is actually a blind built in on the bedroom window. You must have missed it. Property Owner

"The owners were friendly, welcoming and cheery - clearly very nice people."
The property was clean and well equipped. There was parking outside the gates of the property. The reason for my low score is that I don't think the information about this property is strictly true. Downstairs was a very small kitchen space, so small that the table and one chair were under the stairs (don't stand up too quickly!). The table could be pulled out into the kitchen area if two people needed to use it (I stayed there on my own) I suppose. However, that would have meant placing the table directly outside the bathroom (with toilet) door. I have to be honest and say that I would not have booked if I had known there was just a single door separating the kitchen and toilet. Upstairs was as described, with a spacious living room and bedroom. However, the living room room is over part of the property that is not let but is used as a home office (the large glass door / window in the picture). I booked the property to visit certain places in the area, but also to spend some time just relaxing, studying and reading. Unfortunately, noise from the office below rather spoiled this. It is not that the person was particularly noisy but I was able to hear movement, doors slamming and phone calls. It was more like staying in a poorly insulated flat. I appreciate the property belongs to the owners and they can use it and let it as they want to but I feel potential holiday renters should be made aware that they will be staying above an office. Had there not been the issues listed above, I would not have mentioned the other noise issue, but other holidaymakers do need to be aware. The owners have two gorgeous, friendly dogs (I am a dog owner). On one evening, the dogs were, I can only assume, left home alone, which is the right of the owners to do, of course. However, from Foxholes Barn (living room, kitchen and bedroom) I could clearly hear the dogs barking frequently all evening until after 11.15pm. I feel disappointed that this property, in my opinion, was not described accurately and would be reluctant to trust the information provided by Sykes again.

"We had a fabulous stay."
Foxholes was perfect for a relaxing break I a beautiful setting. The host were lovely. With fresh flowers, fresh eggs, delightful cake and biscuits for the dog, all left in the cottage on our arrival, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend a stay here, and we will definitely be booking another visit.

"Welcoming hostess who had provided lots of information prior to our stay."
Scones jams and eggs waiting for us. Half the ground floor taken up with owners home office leaving very small kitchen dining area. We did not consider this a dog friendly cottage as the owners two weimeraners took an instant dislike to our two typically benign labradors making it difficult to come and go without checking their whereabouts. Had the weather been better we could not have sat outside in the shared courtyard because of this.
-
"We so enjoyed our stay."
They were so welcoming and so helpful. Eggs and lemon curd were a lovely touch and Clare’s home cooked food was amazing… I need the recipe please! We didn’t want to leave and would definitely come back for sure.We totally recommend this place 10/10. Lovely couple and the dogs too!
Thank you Rob. So glad you enjoyed your stop off stay with us in Farlow. Hope to see you both again one day. Property Owner

"One of the greats!"
Been going away for my Birthday weekend for the last 11 years to a different spot in the countryside and Foxholes Barn in the Shropshire Hills will go down as one of the best weekends ever. Clare and Chris were just incredible hosts and their recommendations of where to eat made the break so much easier, as they were superb places. They also offered us before we arrived, the choice of a meal, which we took up and it was absolutely delicious. Foxholes Barn was warm, had everything we need to cook for ourselves, which we did for 2 of the nights, and was just a stress-free experience all round. We did three walks during our break, all with good hills and stunning views. I thought this was great value and I'd highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind comments Will. It was lovely to meet both you and Lucy and hope we may welcome you again one day. Property Owner

"The warmth and hospitality of the owners, Clare and Chris, was great - the homemade cakes and home baked bread provided on arrival were lovely treats."
And Gus, their friendly dog, readily accepted out small terrier. There are walks nearby and we were welcome to walk through their garden to their large field. We also took advantage of Clare's offer to provide very tasty meals for us, for a modest cost, on two evenings. A couple of minor tweaks needed maybe, in that the bedroom radiator didn't turn off properly and the shower control was stiff to turn on, but the helpfulness of Clare and Mike easily compensated for this. They also keep chickens in a very upmarket hen house - a Hilton hotel for chickens - so on leaving we bought a dozen eggs to take home. A memorable stay and the owners being on site meant there was a lovely personal, but not intrusive, touch.
It was lovely to meet Adrian, Jill and Skip during their stay. I am glad you enjoyed your time with us. Chris and I were only too happy to help you out and make you feel welcome. The radiator and shower are due to be looked at this week when the plumber can make it to us and will be changed in due course with our planned renovations. My apologies for these issues. Property Owner
