“We have had a lovely holiday in Shropshire and staying at the Plough Barn which is our overriding memory but there are some things which may help others when deciding to stay.”
The pod bathrooms are very small and you had to leave the door open for comfort. I think it would be good to put a photo of the pods on the website as larger or disabled people would have a problem. We also found having no ventilation, particularly upstairs uncomfortable. The only ventilation was to keep the back door open all the time as there are no windows upstairs and none to open downstairs.

The pod bathrooms are very small and you had to leave the door open for comfort. I think it would be good to put a photo of the pods on the website as larger or disabled people would have a problem. We also found having no ventilation, particularly upstairs uncomfortable. The only ventilation was to keep the back door open all the time as there are no windows upstairs and none to open downstairs. There were 3 of us staying but there was no bedding for the third person apart from a quilt in the wardrobe which still had a quilt cover on and didn’t look as if it had been laundered. The patio outside by the stream was lovely and we enjoyed having our meals outside and sitting with a glass of wine in the evening. Hope this helps. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
The owners thanks you for your feedback. As the the property is grade 2 listed building it is not possible due to building regulations to add any further windows to the property, this is also why the pods are there as it was not possible to put the bathrooms anywhere else. The property is not advertised as being fully disability friendly, although the owners have had people with disabilities staying there and they loved the layout.
All bedding is freshly laundered off site by a professional company and the spare bedding is then folded in the wardrobe where you found it. We are pleased you enjoyed the patio areas for meals outside, we were very luck with the fantastic weather this summer and we are glad you made the most of it.
