“Sutherlands Drift is a superb barn ...”

Sutherlands Drift is a superb barn conversion with absolutely everything you could wish for in a holiday home. The master bedroom is exceptional and the other two bedrooms offer every comfort. The views from the windows and the doors to the garden are beautiful, allowing us to watch lambs from our bed! The living area is very spacious and yet is still cosy.

Sutherlands Drift is a superb barn conversion with absolutely everything you could wish for in a holiday home. The master bedroom is exceptional and the other two bedrooms offer every comfort. The views from the windows and the doors to the garden are beautiful, allowing us to watch lambs from our bed! The living area is very spacious and yet is still cosy. The kitchen is very well equipped and the whole cottage was immaculately clean when we arrived. The welcome we received from Stephanie was warm and friendly and she gave us lots of useful information. The bird hide on the farm is an added bonus as we love bird spotting. The box of chocolates waiting for us in the kitchen was a lovely surprise. The internet connection was consistently good. Thank you to everyone we met on the farm during our stay. We're already looking forward to a return visit.

“The best holiday we have had in the UK”

Since having kids we've visited many self catering cottages and are often a bit underwhelmed with properties that fail to live up to the descriptions or images. Sutherlands Drift is just the opposite. Its a wonderful spot which the images online don't do justice. The garden is lovely and has views to die for a summers evening. We found the owners extremely helpful and hospitable and the 'cottage' comfortable and warm. We have recommend this to all our friends and hope to return soon.

“Wonderful stay full of peace and tranquility”

We stayed hear in the depths of winter but had a wonderful time. This is a beautiful barn conversion on a working farm. The property is spacious and pleasant with and the owners were extremely welcoming and even took our children to collect eggs and feed the chickens! Though not obvious from the images there are great views from the property over towards the south Shropshire hills and I imagine it is very beautiful and peaceful in the summer. Thanks for a great stay - we will definitely return.

“A dependable jewel in Shropshire countryside”

Just back from another enjoyable stay at Sutherlands Drift. Lots to do in the area including the Ironbridge museums and Severn Valley Railway. Nice walks around the farm and friendly owners at the property. We will be back.

“Sutherland's Drift is a lovely ...”

Sutherland's Drift is a lovely property. Very comfortable & views from lounge area to The Wrekin are stunning.The owners are very kind & helpful & we would love to go back for a stay again in the future. The only drawback we encountered was the Wifi, where you couldn't have more than 1 person using their iPad at any time. this isn't the owner's fault. Broadband signals can be very hit and miss in rural areas. Shrewsbury & Much Wenlock are not far away & we also visited Attingham which is a National Trust property & had a very interesting day out. Lots to see and do in surrounding areas & would thoroughly recommend property & hope to go back in the future for another holiday. Jo Wright

“Sutherland Drift is a magical ...”

Sutherland Drift is a magical property and a firm favorite for the children. The Dobson family are extremely kind and always had time to chat and educate the children on the animals and how the farm works. This is a very peaceful, comfortable place.

Really lovely cottage. I don't think the pictures do it justice. Had an excellent week here, everyone on the farm was so friendly & our toddler loved all the animals.
