Fantastic cottage, very comfortable and homely. We haven't visited Shropshire before but after the stay at Upper Farm Barn but we would definitely return. Lovely countryside and picturesque towns and villages. The Barn has been very well thought out with everything you need for a fantastic rest and break from normality. Very clean property. Ellie was on hand if required but non intrusive. Our dogs had a great time too. Thank you for providing such a lovely place for us to relax. Good luck for the future and I will definitely recommend.

“Lovely place to stay in a stunning location with fabulous walks close by .”

Perfect week for us and our dogs. Oh and very nice welcome scones when we arrived along with delicious bread and butter and jam. Thanks Ellie

Situated in beautiful countryside.

- Miss Richards, October 2018
“Lovely cottage in a peaceful location.”

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Ellie had thought of everything that would be needed and we had a lovely welcome box of food when we arrived which included the soya milk we use and homemade scones and jam! Lots of information for exploring the area. Ellie had left a chalk board with a welcome on and also came around to personally welcome us. We would definitely visit her again if we get back to Shropshire.

“Peaceful, comfortable and welcoming.”

In a peaceful location in a little hamlet about 10 minutes drive from Church Stretton. This is our third visit to Ellie’s lovely cottages.. Accommodation is very attractive with comfy beds, pretty bathrooms and a gorgeous log burner for chilly evenings. Underfloor heating, dishwasher and washing machine make for a very pleasant stay. We especially enjoyed the terraced rear garden, thoughtfully designed to provide privacy and a sunny place to sit , eat and even have a lovely barbecue. Ellie the owner has fantastic taste and provides a lovely welcome pack with some home made goodies and local produce. We loved walking from the door , up the lane through the woods every day. Very well located for all the lovely walks and villages of the Shropshire Hills. If you love peaceful countryside with very comfortable accommodation this is for you.

- Mr Novy, June 2018
“The welcome was great with extra goodies on the table too.”

Owner Ellie very kind and helpful. Good to be able to sit out in the sun as wished. Countryside wonderful. We had everything we needed and more. Everything was comfortable. Heating as needed, but we had good weather. Quick drive to amazing supermarket in Craven Arms. Abundance of hedgerow flowers. Ongoing improvements being done outside to garden etc.

- Mr Davies, June 2018
“Ellie works hard and was very helpful”

- Mr Jones, May 2018
“Upper Barn Farm is a very sweet cottage, that is beautifully decorated.”

The location is peaceful. Ellie was extremely friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely few days there.

- Mrs Mccowen, May 2018
“The cottage was clean, comfortable and extremely well equipped.”

Ellie was very welcoming. We very much enjoyed our stay. The property description indicated a raised front patio, it would have been helpful to know that this was the access to the property, as 12 months ago this would have made accessing the property for my father almost impossible

- Miss Brazell, May 2018
“We got exactly what we expected, a comfortable, pretty, well appointed coottage.”

What added to the pleasure was the welcome pack and Ellie’s personal welcome and quick response to the one problem encountered.

- Miss Calvert-smith, April 2018
“Lovely property and very tastefully decorated.”

It snowed the week we were there (very picturesque) and the owner Ellie was great at making sure we had everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable and see us through the snow days. Would highly recommend.

- Ms Stolc, December 2017
“A lovely cottage in a beautiful location, immaculately clean, with numerous personal touches by the host to make staying there an absolute pleasure.”

“Ellie was very helpful in providing a small hamper of local goodies and assisting with wood etc.”

for the fire. She also offered guidance on local eateries and walks.

- Mrs Arrondelle, September 2017
“An amazing barn conversion, extremely well equipped, clean and comfortable, in a beautiful part of the country.”

The owners of the property are very friendly and on hand if any assistance is required. We definitely intend to return!

- Mr Anderton, August 2017
“It's a lovely cottage, warm, welcoming and with lovely owners who are very helpful.”

Very handy for local walks and places to visit whilst also being quite a way off the main road and peaceful. Will definitely return.

About the location

WISTANSTOW

Craven Arms 2.2 miles; Church Stretton 6.6 miles; Ludlow 11.8 miles.

Wistanstow is a small picturesque village in Shropshire situated approximately 2 miles north of Craven Arms and 6.5 miles south of Church Stretton. The village is named from the Anglo-Saxon saint Wigstan who was the grandson of the king of Mercia. The main lane running through the village is a Roman road, which ran between the Roman settlements and forts at Leintwardine and Wroxeter. This beautiful village is home to a community village shop and a local pub serving real ales from the local Wood Brewery which is situated just behind it. Wistanstow village is located on the edge of the Shropshire Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which offers plenty of walking opportunities. Visit the nearby small market town of Craven Arms, known as The Gateway to the Marches located between the beautiful medieval town of Ludlow and delightful Church Stretton. This town is the main centre for Shropshire’s hill country and home to a variety of tea rooms, pubs and specialist shops. Carding Mill National Trust Centre has plenty of activities for children with shrot trails and longer walks and in the summer there is open water swimming in the reservoir. Other local attractions include walks on the Long Mynd, Shropshire Way and Jack Mitton paths, the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm and Stokesay Castle. Wenlock Edge and Corvedale Valley offer fine walks and the lovely Stokesay Castle, one of England's finest fortified manors, or the very popular Shropshire Hill Discovery Centre are well worth a visit. The surrounding area has some charming and historic houses, including a round house, thought to be a recognisable rest house for pilgrims travelling between Wigmore and Shrewsbury Abbeys and the fascinating 'Museum of Lost Content'. Winstantow is an excellent location for exploring this region of Shropshire.
