We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the plough barn

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the plough barn The accommodation had been tastefully renovated to modem requirements within the constraints of grade 2 listing . The accommodation is ideally situated for easy access to all surrounding market towns villages & Shropshire hills

“The property has 2 shower rooms (1 ...”

The property has 2 shower rooms (1 on each floor). They are neat and tidy but could present severe difficulties to people with mobility problems or of larger proportions as they are extremely small. The pots and pans are of excellent quality but are cast iron and my wife is not a competent weight lifter - leaving me to do the cooking!

“We are sorry to have to write a ...”

We are sorry to have to write a negative review, as the basic barn conversion has been very well and tastefully done, the accommodation in general is spacious and comfortable, and the owners are very pleasant and obliging. However: - The shower/toilet units are extremely cramped and uncomfortable. We realise with hindsight why no photos of them are shown on the Sykes web-site - if they had been it is doubtful whether anyone would book here. In our view these facilities are simply unacceptable for an establishment claiming as 4* rating. - The information folder is inadequate: there are no instructions on how to use the appliances (other than some manuscript notes on operating the highly eccentric tv set-up); instead there are several pages of various menus, many without any indication of the establishment to which they relate. - Although the premises were generally clean and neat, the oven and microwave appeared not to have been cleaned. The latter was greasy, but we could easily deal with this; however the main oven needed a deep clean far beyond what guests could be expected to attend to. We would also comment that the "furniture" on the outside seating area (which is itself a pleasant sun-trap) could do with some enhancement and updating. xxxx OWNER RESPONSE xxxx. Many thanks for your feedback. The owner has confirmed that as the property is Grade 2 listed, they were restricted in creating new rooms at the property. The owner invested in 'self contained' shower suites that are of a high standard and fully functioning. He does acknowledge that they are not the largest bathrooms.

We had a lovely stay at the Plough Barn. It is ideally situated for visiting the local towns and countryside. The hosts, Simon and Rita, were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again.

“I can't believe this barn ...”

I can't believe this barn conversion isn't fully booked up, we have booked a cottage each year for over ten years, this is the best so far, it is so warm and cosy there are 2 pubs where they both do amazing food, both within walking distance, however, the kitchen in the cottage is more than adequate to cook a lovely meal, very romantic cottage with a lovely roll top bath that fits two.

The Chains

These wonderful barn conversions are situated on the main road running through Munslow, a small village near Craven Arms and Church Stretton, on the edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB. The barns are part of The Chains, which featured in the much-loved Lilliput Lane collection, and are a beautiful terrace of properties with exposed beams and heaps of character within their stone walls. Perfect for large groups of friends or family exploring this delightful area, each property has its own woodburner and a master bedroom with a roll-top bath and en-suite shower. The kitchens are well-equipped with electric ovens and a washing machine, so you don’t need to worry about over-packing or getting a bit muddy when you’re out exploring. Outside are lovely, private patios where you can enjoy the sunshine with a spot of alfresco dining. The village of Munslow is quiet and pretty, with a good country pub just round the corner from The Chains; you can enjoy an evening drink with the locals or dinner if you don’t fancy cooking, yourselves. There are plenty of walking opportunities and picnic spots in the surrounding Shropshire Hills, and you can get your adrenaline fix at the Shropshire Hills Mountain Bike and Outdoor Pursuits Centre, just 20 minutes away. Why not explore Ludlow Castle, or the town’s Murder Mystery Treasure Trail? Eight miles away, Church Stretton has a great selection of independent shops, pubs and cafes, whilst other popular destinations, such as The Stiperstones and UNESCO World Heritage Centre at Ironbridge Gorge, are a must-see during your time here. With so much to see and do, and such delightful accommodation, The Chains are an excellent holiday home for exploring this glorious part of the country!
