“Beautiful cottage set in lovely remote countryside.”

Very well equipped with some lovely welcoming extras like wine chocolates and milk on arrival. Would recommend the Byrd to anyone visiting the Shropshire Hills and we would definitely consider returning here at some point in the future.

“We booked this cotttage as a last minute decision and therefore did not have great expectations, but WOW what a find.”

The place is in an area of outstanding natural beauty with excellent views over the Long Mynd, and totally peaceful and quiet. There is NO light pollution at night, no traffic and even no rural noise and we had the BEST sleep you coulld wish for in a very comfortable bed. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and comfotable and the owner friendly and helpful. We had a lovely, unexpected welcome package of milk, tea and coffee, flowers and even a bottle of wine and chocolates. Although quite remote, the cottage is within easy reach of Craven Arms, Church Stretton and Bishop's Castle. Even Shrewsbury is only half an hour's journey by car. For walkers the place is heaven. I would highly recomment this lovely place.

“The owner was really friendly and as soon as we opened the cottage door we felt at home.”

The Barn was delightful and absolutely spotless. The views and grounds were lovely too.

“Having already stayed at the Byre [ 2 years ago ] ensured that a return visit was essential before too long [ We are both mid-octogenarians !”

! ]. The location is splendid, the property the best we have ever used and the tranquility was a necessary ingredient. We admired the cheerfulness of the walkers passing by [ we used to walk a lot when we were alive !! ]. Bob continues to be most friendly and helpful. The surrounding area is outstanding and in our opinion a "forgotten" or " overlooked" part of the country. Sadly the distance from home is what it is - lengthy. Never-the-less hopefully we may return. - that in itself says it all . Weather-wise and ALL things considered - Perfect.

“Beautiful location, cottage all as described.”

Perfect for quiet break for couple. Left most relaxed and definitely a place we’d return to.
Mrs Moreland January 2018

“It was a beautiful cottage, ideal walking area we didnt have to use the car.”

Photos dont do justice to the property. Little extras were lovely as well.

“The cottage was splendid both in the level of comfort it provided and in its lovely, peaceful location.”

“Wow, Wow, Wow!!”

Wow!! What a fantastic place, currently sitting in the lounge of this property writing the review, couldn't wait to get home to do it!! Don't want to go home!! This place is great. Very high standard of decor with every attention to detail being made. As others have stated the pictures quite simply don't do it justice. We found the bed very comfy, neither too hard or soft. Location is so pretty and quiet. We have had the most relaxing weekend before the usual annual onslaught of Christmas!! VERY HIGHLY recommend this place to EVERYONE. Will be returning for a full week next summer. LOVED IT. Thank you.

“Did not want to leave this lovely cottage!”

We really enjoyed our one week stay at the Byre. It is ideal for those who love peace and quiet and enjoy hiking. The cottage is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. We really appreciated the fresh flowers, chocolate, wine, milk, tea and coffee that were there when we arrived. I don't believe the pictures on the website do this cottage justice. The setting and the views are just stunning. We loved waking up and hearing nothing but the birds and the sheep. We love our hiking and found plenty of walks to keep us busy for a week. We could happily have stayed for a second week and would not hesitate in recommending this cottage to anyone. If there is just one slight criticism is that we found the bed too small and the mattress too hard.

“Such a kind attention to detail.”

This cottage is provided with everything you could possibly want, and then some. We were greeted with fresh flowers, chocolates, wine, tea, sugar, milk, coffee and many other essentials to get us started. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. Set in a lovely garden on a farm, it was very peaceful. If it is the city life you are after this may not be the place for you but we couldn't fault it.

“peaceful and relaxing”

This beautiful cottage was just the tonic we needed. Everything you could need is there and more as you arrive to a bottle of wine, flowers, chocolates and bottled water. The water is from a bore hole but we had no problems at all with this. It is much larger than it looks on the web site and of a very high standard. The views are wonderful. Only very small thing, and this is just a personal comment, the mattress is far to soft. The Crown pub in Wentnor is excellent. Food is lovely and all the staff and locals made us feel very welcome.

“Superb home from home with spectacular views”

We stayed for a week in this lovely holiday home which was very well equipped with everything you might need. It was quite spacious for a one bedroom property and the photos do not do it justice. As I was recovering from a recent illness it was the perfect place to relax. The views were fantastic from every window. The owner was particularly friendly and left some very welcome goodies to start the week.

“Beautiful view in a peaceful setting.”

Last week we had the pleasure of staying at the Byre in Adstone, near Wentnor. When we arrived, there was a warm welcome for us including complimentary chocolates, a bottle of wine, tea, coffee, milk and a bowl of grapes. Having looked around the cottage we could see we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The front porch afforded a stunning view of the Long Mynd with gliders and hang gliders soaring above the valley and to the rear of the cottage there is a patio area for eating outside or having a BBQ. The cottage has its own water supply from a bore hole - it tasted fine! The local pub serves very good food and beer but we found it preferable to drive there, it taking about 20 minutes to walk along the narrow lane. But this was also the beauty of the place, its remoteness and rural setting. We found it an ideal base for walking in the Shropshire hills. We would not hesitate to return if holidaying in Shropshire again.

“Lovely, comfortable house in a beautiful, peaceful location”

We loved the Byre. It was spacious and comfortable with a great kitchen. The walks straight from the door were great and we also enjoyed walking to the pub. It was well located for many of Shropshire's sights and extremely peaceful.

“Shropshire at its Best”

This cottage was by far the best holiday rental we have experienced. The location, looking up at The Long Mynd, was perfect, the walking excellent and the local pub great! We shall hope to return for more holidays in The Byre.

“Away from it all !”

A bit off the beaten track but well worth the effort to get there. Right next to the The Shropshire Way so with immediate access to some stunning walks and scenery. A compact holiday house that was comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a holiday break.

“Perfect get away retreat”

Excellent welcome pack. Very clean and well furnished house. Great position with fabulous views. Good places to visit and quiet roads. A very chilled out week! Can't think of anything we didn't like.
