"The barn was in a fantastic location."
Church stretton was a lovely town with good shops and pubs.
We walked the long mynd via rattling hope and stopped at The bridges pub which was absolutely amazing. Next to a river and food was amazing.
It’s a must to visit.
We also had fantastic meals in the Ragleth and green dragon (both in little stretton).
The hot tub back in the barn was absolutely a must after the walk and it was amazing and clean and very hot.
The barn was great for me and my husband and dog.
Everything you would need.
Rachel was very helpful too.
Definitely be back.

Plenty of space for 2 adults, 1 teen, 1 child and a dog. Our dog managed to escaped out of the garden the first day but the owners placed an extra strut on the gate straight away to stop this (thank you!!!). Perfectly situated for walking and trips to Blists Hill, Shrewsbury and Ludlow.

"Lovely location."
Great parking etc. But the single beds were awful, quilts in plastic unremovable bags. Maybe something you get in a nursing home but not in a holiday let. They are very noisy and make you drip with sweat because you're sleeping under a plastic bag. Unfortunately, they ensured very little sleep. We'd love to come back but this bedding really needs to be addressed. Thanks

"Stunning location and friendly enough owner."
Accommodation suitable for two adults and young children. Have to say though the sofa is very uncomfortable to sit on and didn't want to sit on dining room chairs all night either. Disappointed that there was no dvd player, (we brought our own but couldn't play them!) No games or books at the property, which we regretted not bring our own. Hot tub was nice. Lacking in furniture in the main bedroom, it is a very small room but bedside tables with some drawers would be helpful. The most complicated of ovens to use and would have been good to be shown where the instructions were together with the limited property info details... we had to go routing for it. This all being said the location of the property is stunning and such lovely places to walk, just bring your own map as there aren't any at the property. Would recommend but some improvements for renters could be easily made to give it 5*

"Spent a lovely week at Old Hall Barn 1."
Simple furnishings but plenty of space for a family of 4 (inc 2 teenagers). Kitchen well equipped and a lovely power shower. Hot tub was excellent. Large garden which was very secure for our very inquisitive cocker spaniel. The owner Richard was friendly but let you to get on with your holiday. The toaster packed in but Richard replaced it with a brand new one within 2 hours. Surrounding area is beautiful and ideal for walking. Did the short Rectory Walk and went to Carding Mill Valley Park - stunning landscape and walks suitable for all ages. Visited the nearby Yew Tree for drinks and food which was reasonable and welcoming. Just a couple of minor suggestions for the accommodation - a curtain/blind in the twin room's dressing area for privacy and some softer lighting (eg lamps) in the lounge area would have been appreciated. However we loved our stay and would definitely book again.

"Found it a bit too small for four people."
Sofa was uncomfortable, could do with more mugs, a blind in the dressing area and a decent curtain at the tall window in the twin bedroom would have been better. Also the bathroom window with clear not opaque glass offers no privacy meaning you have to always have the blind down. Felt a bit overlooked when in the hot tub by the row of houses across the field and there only seemed to be one powerful jet working in the tub. No storage in main bedroom- there were shelf type bedside stands, perhaps ones with drawers would be better to offer some storage? Beds were comfortable, shower always hot and powerful, good secure garden for dogs, cottage was clean, good location, not far from church stretton, Shrewsbury, Ludlow, much wenlock, attingham park, Ironbridge . Nice enough for a few days but felt quite basic and we didn’t feel we received the welcoming touch that we have from other cottages in the past- even a small bottle of milk in the fridge for a cup of tea on arrival goes a long way. Didn’t see the host the whole time we were there, only spoke via text before our arrival.

The barn was everything we had hoped for & the hot tub was absolutely wonderful after long walks every day.
The local people were so happy to stop and talk with you, so friendly and welcoming also offering information of where to walk or visit.
Church Stretton was a 5 minute drive with a Co-Op and lovely selection of shops.
Parking was 50p an hour from 8am until 6pm.
We tried the Fish & Chips on the corner which were delicious. The Kings Head Pub is lovely.
Everyone was so friendly and welcomed our dog, lots of fuss was given to her as well as treats, which she loved.
If you leave the barn and follow the sign directed to the local village hall, further up on your left, opposite the quarry you will see a gate and field which was lovely for walking our dog.
If you carry on you will come to a National Trust sign and cattle bridge, you will discover a lovely scenic view, fresh streams and various ways to walk. (£2.00 per day)
We also enjoyed going to Carding Mill, Ludlow & the castle also Shrewsbury, all lovely days out.

This is a 2 bedroom cottage that sleeps 4 but I personally would not want to have had 2 other adults there, it would have been a bit cramped. Being pedantic I would have liked
- some where for our clothes in the main bedroom other than 4 hooks ( we used the lovely dressing area that is next to the second bedroom)
- clearer instructions on how to use the TV
- instructions on recycling in the guest folder as our bins outside didn't have any instructions and we were unsure what to recycle
- wooden spoons in the kitchen drawer
- extra pillows ( I borrowed one from the second bedroom as they were so flat)

"This is our third booking through Sykes and is our most disappointing so far."
Although the accommodation was mainly as described the finer detail was missing. No basics such as a welcome pack with a pint of milk or loaf or bread were provided. A cake was left which was nice, but the basics would be better until guests find the local shop! No instructions on using appliances and heating etc were available and a 'friendly hello' would have been nice just to ask if we had everything or needed help with anything. The cottage itself had a large 'dressing room' for clothes but a chest of drawers and a couple of bedside cabinets would be beneficial as there was no real storage. This accommodation could be better with a few minor changes by applying a bit of common sense. This at present does not deserve the 4* that Sykes had given it.
