“Visited the Barn for a family break ...”

Visited the Barn for a family break for a week in June. Property exceeded expectations by a huge margin,the photos and description really don't do it justice. Ample space inside and and out, we were a party of eight and the size of the property meant that we could all be together when we wanted and also split off when we needed to. The kitchen is fabulous, built to a high standard and stocked with all the amenities and utensils you could ever need. There is a large outside area with a BBQ and a plenty of patio seating with lots of space for little ones to play and run around in. The bedrooms are large and spacious and on arrival everything was clean and set up for us. We arranged a supermarket delivery on our day of arrival and anything else we needed was available from Stan's Supermarket just a very short drive away. Key collection was simple to arrange and the owners were a pleasure to deal with.. Queries via email were answered straightaway and lots of information on the local area was provided to us which helped us out loads when planning our visit. Lots to do in the local area for all ages young and old, We never ran out of things to do and would happily go back for a return visit to see everything we missed. No hesitation in recommending a visit, give it a try and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

“The Barn”

We stayed here at the start of October, and were overwhelmed by the size of it, it will easy take a group of 10 people if the occasion arose. It has all mod cons, a log burning fire, a lovely garden with apple and pear trees, patio and bbq. There is wifi but it is quite slow, and the mobile networks on both EE and Vodafone aren't that good either, so ideal if you want to be cut off for a bit! The bedrooms are a fair size and one of the master bedrooms has an amazingly comfy waterbed. The property is in a very rural area, which we preferred as it was so quiet. Hint: if you are using a sat nav to get here from the North, DO NOT take the turn off at the Halton roundabout where the McDonalds is, as it takes you on a dirt track for a mile or so to get to the property, instead just carry on along the motorway on the A5 and come off on the B5070 for Saint Martins. The area isn't that far to take days out in the country and also for days to the city such as Chester & Liverpool.

“After booking the owners emailed me ...”

After booking the owners emailed me details of arriving at the property. They advised me not to take a left at the halton roundabout but the sat nav took me that way and its a nightmare so try not to go to the property that way. The property itself has the WOW factor,Very spacious and certainly comfortable. Everything you could want was in this property. The best thing for me was the log burning fire. On arrival the underfloor heating in the property would not work however liz the caretaker was out the next day to turn it on but it never came on so the log fire was on more and this gave the property plenty of comfort. The garden was a good size and our little dog enjoyed it. local amenities were not too far away.A great feature for me was the king sized water bed which certainly gives you a great nights sleep, only downside to it is you could not get out of it on a morning. All in all i would certainly recommend to the barn to anyone who would like a most comfortable stay in such a luxurious spacious property.The owner has definatly gone the extra mile when refurbishing this property.

“The place was fantastic and the ...”

The place was fantastic and the whole family enjoyed the stay. The only reason why we wouldn't book it again is the fact the family is growing and by the time we have the next family holiday we will need a place to sleep 12 people.

The property

Chirk 3.5 miles.

An outstanding, detached barn conversion in the Welsh Borders, just 10 miles from Llangollen, in a lovely quiet location surrounded by some beautiful views over the Shropshire countryside.

Luxuriously decorated and furnished throughout, providing spacious living accommodation and four lovely bedrooms, this Shropshire cottage is just perfect for large groups of friends or extended families to enjoy some time together.

This wonderful contemporary cottage in Shropshire offers character and some real home-from-home touches, including stone floors, beams, feature windows, underfloor heating, a double-sided woodburner and a lovely large sitting room.

The large garden outside this cottage in Shropshire has an assortment of fruit and walnut trees, and views over the countryside, as well as two patio areas to follow the sun.

Close by is the pretty market town of Ellesmere with its attractive buildings dotted between 9 beautiful meres and the well-known Shropshire to Llangollen Canal, in an area renowned as Shopshire's Lakeland.

Just 10 miles away is Llangollen, with a dramatic mountain backdrop and boulder-strewn River Dee as the setting for this pretty tourist town, internationally famous for its Musical Eisteddfod.

A little further afield from this Shropshire cottage is the Roman city of Chester with racecourse, zoo and a huge array of history, not forgetting its numerous shops, bars and restaurants.

This is just the perfect cottage in Shropshire for exploring Shropshire, Cheshire and North Wales to enjoy at any time of the year.

Most famous for its magnificent 14th century castle and gardens, one of many built throughout Wales by Edward I, Chirk boasts a wonderful aqueduct, built by Thomas Telford, pleasant pubs, restaurants, convenience store, chemist, gift shop, an excellent golf course and marina. The surrounding area, notably the beautiful Ceiriog Valley described by Lloyd George as "a little bit of heaven on Earth", provides wonderful walks, cycling including the famous Offa's Dyke Pathway, and local trout fishing. Only 5 miles from charming Llangollen and within easy reach of the scenic Horseshoe Pass and the medieval towns of Chester and Shrewsbury, this great location has plenty to see and do for all the family!
