The Barn

Neat little place.

The farm shop is a great addition, so you do not have to get out much to buy food. The driveway is easy to find even at night. The only thing to watch out for is cooking with any amount of steam - let alone something slighly burned. The fire alarms are extremely sensitive. Best to always cook with multiple windows open and the fume extractor on maximum.

Located on a farm, "The Barn" is in lovely surroundings.

 Beautifully furnished with everything we needed. It is well located for visiting the surrounding towns (eg Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Chester). The hosts are very friendly and accommodating.

A lovely comfortable property.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything one needs for a holiday is provided. A handrail/banister the full length of the external stairs would be appreciated, as the steps are a little uneven.

We enjoyed a wonderful midweek break at The Barn.

It was lovely and cosy, peaceful and quiet. A great place to unwind and chill. The log fire made special … and warm!

A very comfortable holiday flat located between Whitchurch and Shreesbury just off the A49 and so ideally situated to visit many interesting places.

The flat itself was well appointed with everything needed for a self catering stay and converted to a high standard. Mind your head on the cooker hood though! Well stocked farm shop on site and the owners Fiona and Rob are very welcoming and the source of useful information. One warning: access to the flat us via 14 steps so people with mobility issues need to consider this.

Enjoyed our stay at The Barn.

The farm shop on site was well stocked with delicious locally produced products. The owners were friendly and helpful and the location is excellent for trips out. The accommodation is well thought out with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. We feel that the steps leading to the property could be a problem for anyone with mobility issues but you are made aware of the number of steps when booking.

The property was good to look at when you walk in but,when you come to use the facilities it was a very different matter, the frying pans were old and did not sit on cooker very well, the pan handles got very hot.

The cooker was gas and lit by matches that were so small you burnt your fingers .The smoke alarmwent off as soon has you lit the cooker.The bathroom was very small and the bath was to big for the space, someone bigger than me would find it very difficult to use. The T.V. had it's Freeview restricted to BBC channels only. The loose rugs on a slippery floor in the bedroom constitute a serious risk of injury heightened by a low level bed.

The Barn is a lovely place to stay.

Fiona and Rob were excellent hosts. With an excellent farm shop on site, what’s not to like. Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely stay, ideal location for visiting Stately homes etc, lovely owners and a nice farm shop on site,one small gripe, the bathroom is very small,with quite a high bath to step into for a shower, I think this should be noted as an elderly/infirm person would have serious trouble getting into the / out of the shower, also a "large" person might find it a tight squeeze in the actual bathroom.

No faults whatsoever!

Welcoming hosts, comfortable cottage (especially two settees so we could both stretch out after our long walks!), lovely rural location. Only downside was when the week was up, we had to leave!

Our stay at the Barn was perfect for us.

Great place to explore Shropshire from. Facilities were excellent and the bonus of the on-site Farm shop added to the overall experience. We would definitely recommend The Barn as a great place to stay.

Really enjoyed our stay at the barn.

Rob and Fiona were lovely hosts. The farm shop next door was a brilliant bonus with loads of lovely goodies (especially the sausages!!) Accommodation was warm and comfortable and of a good standard. Looking forward to visiting again.

We enjoyed a lovely break in this cottage.

It’s cosy & comfortable with the added bonus of having the shop on site. Rob & Fiona were very welcoming but not at all intrusive. It was our first time visiting Shropshire and the cottage proved to be a great base to explore this beautiful county. We loved the history, the food and the people who are so warm & friendly.

Another wonderful stay at the Barn, felt like coming home.

This place is good for the soul and Fiona and Rob are wonderful hosts The barn is filled with extra touches that means you have everything you need for a truly relaxing stay including an extensive collection of books and DVDs (we watched two with a glass of wine and the fire on - perfection!) We've been before and I hope we get to come again. Cannot recommend this place enough x

A very comfortable stay at The Barn.

We enjoyed our stay at the barn but we thought that the bathroom needed updating the toilet doesn’t clear at the first attempt and the shower is awkward to get in and out of maybe a stand up shower would be a better option

We had a great time at the Barn.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful with local information about places to visit and where to eat.

Lovely hosts with a wealth of information on the local area and a really nice property with a great deal in its favour, however, the lack of attention to detail stopped it from achieving a 5 star rating, e.

g. no non slip bath mat for a bath/shower combination, two broken chairs, mould around the shower partition, if you cannot perch on high bar stool chairs at the breakfast bar a small occasional table has to used for meals, the sitting out area is overgrown with weeds with no chairs which would need to be taken down a flight of stairs from the house to be used. Fully accept the house is located within a business area, however, loading/unloading of vehicles starts around 7am in the car park area which is overlooked by the bedroom window and farm machinery working in adjacent field until 12.30 am was not conducive to a good nights sleep. The property promotes the fact that a farm shop is on the premises which is obviously a draw for prospective customers so a small discount within the shop when used by the ‘guests’ would be a nice gesture. Each small issue above would not deter a return visit, but taken together, they did take the lustre off which would otherwise have been a 5 star rating

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at the barn.

The barn itself is beautiful, large and equipped with everything you'd need for a few days away. It is spotless throughout and Rob & Fiona are the loveliest hosts. We booked this for no other reason than to treat ourselves to a short relaxing break and immediately found ourselves unwinding. This beautiful place, in this beautiful setting (and not forgetting the farm shop too!) already had us pledging we'd return. If you're thinking of booking here... do! You won't regret it! Thankyou for having us!

really nice place, Rob the owner of the farm was a terrific bloke really friendly, took me behind the scenes and gave me a tour of the bacon factory, buy some and the sausages, the farm shop was to die for I could have spent the whole time in there

We Both had a wonderful stay at The Barn, The owners where both lovely and very helpful, lovely produce from the farm shop and the property itself was excellent and set in beautiful surrounding's really did not want to leave.

Would highly recommend if your looking for a Relaxing Break...

We had a lovely weekend away - thank you so much!

The owners were extremely accommodating and welcoming, Thank you.

The first floor accommodation was clean, comfortable spacious and in a quiet location.

This property was beautiful.

A perfect location for access to local towns and villages. The Barn was comfortable and cozy - perfect for a couple. The owner was very welcoming but also respectful of privacy. The shower was powerful. The skylight windows were nice to let fresh air in but also for privacy. The sofa and bed were extremely comfortable too.

It was a very relaxing holiday and the farm shop an added bonus, would go again in the future

Lovely hosts who work very hard to make your stay & there business a success, farm shop on site a bonus.

A great area to explore .

Great place to stay ideal location for getting around plenty to do

Wonderful holiday home!

Welcoming hosts and everyone at the farm shop (a great bonus!) was helpful and friendly. Superb location for visiting lots of different places and so lovely to come ‘home’ to The Barn. We had everything we needed and it was such a great space with plenty of room but a gorgeous cosy feel. We are already planning to return.

Lovely comfortable accommodation exactly as expected apart from the outside area.

It looked small on the photo but not as small as it really is. This, and the smallness of the bathroom, are the reasons I haven’t given this property 5 stars. Everything else was first class.

The owners were very friendly and it was great having the farm shop on the site.

A good place for visiting National Trust and English Heritage sites. It would be good to have a hand rail for the outdoor steps to make it a little more accessible for the older visitor.

Weather apart, this is a delightful cottage, and the owners are very welcoming.

So is Maisie, their dog. We found the farm shop well stocked, with sausages to die for. We would come again.

The hosts, accommodation and facilities were all great.

The Barn is an amazing tranquil place, it's in a lovely location close to various worthy site seeing places of Shropshire and Wales.

The hosts are friendly, knowledgeable, and Masie the dog is an character in herself she just loves to make herself welcome! The farm shop is full of local produce and very handy. Well worth a stay.

this was a last minute break, the price was brilliant, the barn was lovely to stay in and it felt homely there, situated between chester and shrewsbury ideal for us, when we met the owners they were very friendly.

we had steak from the shop on site, gorgeous. totally enjoyable time thankyou

The Barn was a great location for our honeymoon long weekend.

It was so peaceful and everything we needed was on hand. The facilities were excellent. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time at the barn.

It was excellent in every way, clean beautifully furnished and everything you need for a Lovely holiday. Can't wait to go back. Farm shop had lovely produce very tasty sausage and bacon. Loved our visits from Masie the owners dog .

fantastic holiday retreat easy access to local shopping highly recommended, hosts were very friendly and helpful

The barn was excellent, set in a peaceful relaxing location.

The farm shop is very good with helpful friendly staff. A great base to explore from.

We had a lovely break at The Barn.

It was great to do something that felt normal in such unusual times. The owners were really friendly and helpful. We had our toddler with us who made friends with the resident dog! The Barn is a good base to explore the area.

Lovely warm welcome into a very cosy cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay, owners very helpful. Cottage ideal for getting around. Super Farm Shop in which to stock up!! Our lovely surprise was Maisie, a black Flat Coat retriever, she really made our stay all we could wish for.

The bathroom is very small and it's not easy to get into the shower/bath.

We are agile for our ages but others may have problems. The heating seemed to struggle in this weather so the log burner would be essential if staying inside for long periods. DVD player did not work but hopefully owner will sort out problem as we notified them of the fact.

Great place to stay as you can visit lots of lovely places nearby - would highly recommend

A delightful place to stay, very convenient to so many places to visit, the bacon from the onsite farm ship the best we have ever tasted!

The week went to fast, we loved staying in the Barn,the Nook next door also looks amazing . Thanks to Rob and Fiona a wonderful experience.

Comfortable cottage convenient for Shrewsbury, Whitchurch, and the lovely area

Had a lovely comfortable stay with plenty to do despite the bad weather we had.

Lots of places to visit nearby, friendly locals and good places to eat. Cottage was very spacious with a comfortable bed. Would definitely return.

Lovely house and great hosts!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay.

The Barn was a very cosy home from home property.

We had a lovely stay. There wasn't anything we wanted for. It was very clean, warm and welcoming and would recommend to anyone. A point to make is that it is a working farm that starts early doors and you get regular visits from a 4 legged friend at the front door so please don't go expecting peace and quiet.

Gorgeous place to stay and easy to book.

Would definitely recommend :-) Thank you!

Another lovely holiday.

the barn is a superb apartment in a good central position, handy for such places as IronbridgeThe farm shop has some lovely really tasty produce- no wonder it's on Rick Steins food heroes list!

Had a great break at the barn.

It was very clean and comfortable and lived up to expectations. An ideal spot for discovering Shropshire and beyond. Very friendly owners and even friendlier dog Masie. We will definitely be going back.

The Barn was absolutely perfect, we could not fault it.

Fantastic accommodation with a lovely modern country feel, very comfortable in a relaxing location.

A very warm welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed here because we were attending the fantastic one day butchery course run by Rob, Fiona and the adorable Masie (the super friend black retriever) Excellent Farm Shop on site and lots to see and do in this lovely part of England. All highly recommended.

We are a couple and stayed in The Barn in April 2018.

The directions were clear and the location was peaceful and tucked away. The Barn is up a set of stairs and opens up into an open plan living room and kitchen, a home away from home. Comfy sofas, tv and DVD player and a small woodburner are in the living room and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed, including strong wifi. The double bedroom had a beautiful view overlooking the fields and plenty of storage, The bathroom is small but works well with an over the bath shower. The whole property is filled with natural daylight. The Barn is about a 10-15 min drive from Whitchurch and we found the location easy to use as a base to visit nearby villages and larger towns. Overall we had a wonderful 5 days, we felt like we lived there rather than on holiday and would recommend The Barn to anyone wanting a low maintenance self catering holiday.

Great holiday once again, Sykes holidays does a great Job of keeping you informed and giving you accurate information on how to contact the owner, key collection etc.

The Barn was another property that lived up to our expectations and enabled us to have a relaxing time.

The owners of the Barn, Fiona and Rob, were so friendly without being overbearing.

The accommodation was stunning and had everything you needed. Had a fantastic weekend.

The Barn is ideally located to access so many good walks and visitor attractions.

We only stayed for one week but could have easily stayed longer. Was not short of anything on our stay. Even the resident dog "maisy" was super friendly ❤ Would definitely recommend.

We had a great time the apartment was lovely and Fiona and Rob were very welcoming and hospitable Bernard Whelan

The cottage was perfect, it has everything you could possibly need.

The owners were friendly and helpful. The farm shop on site had amazing food and there's plenty of things to do in the area. We're looking forward to returning at some point!

Cosy and comfy stay, very friendly owners, well located for touring round Shropshire.

Would definitely recommend.

Perfect holiday home, very well equipped, good location.

Lovely barn conversion, very comfortable with almost everything you could wish for.

The only thing that was missing was a washer/dryer but that certainly didn't bother us at all. We'll definitely be booking The Barn again.

We had a great time.

A very comfortable cottage equipped with everything you could need and in a lovely setting surrounded by fields and trees.

The owners were friendly and helpful. We didn't have our dog with us as he's Just a puppy but when he's learned not to chew everything in sight we would love to return to the Barn.
