Lovely barn conversion in a beautiful rural spot. Plenty of downstairs living space, plus three good sized bedrooms, for six adults to stay here comfortably. Low key farm yard activity, chickens, ponies & cat. Dark skies and owls at night.

This is a great place to stay. Situated in a very quiet village, plenty of space for 6 adults, more than one bathroom, huge kitchen, comfortable beds, off road parking, a short drive (10 minutes) to the nearest town, ideal location for easy access to the Long Mynd and other attractions. Extras provided, such as hair dryer, DVDs, books, towels, soapRead more and milk. The owners had also left a welcome gift for us which was very thoughtful. Would definitely recommend. Hide

A beautiful cottage, very large and comfortable. Many super walks from the door including Wenlock Edge and some excellent hill walking within ten minutes drive. A super setting on the farm with lots of animals for our 4 year old.

It was a fabulous place to stay for our meet-up of old school friends. Beautifully appointed, lovely farmyard setting, food shop 10-15 mins drive away. Went to David Austin Roses and had dinner at The Feathers Inn at Brockton, both wonderful.

This cottage was great. The photos don't convey how spacious the cottage is. It was warm, clean and very well equipped. Did several lovely walks from the cottage with the potential for more. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely place converted sympathetically with all modern interiors and amenities. Great hosts who ensured the home was very well equipped with everything we could possibly want. Close enough to Church Stretton and very easy to get to the main Shropshire Hills attractions. Perfect for a short family break, would love to go back soon.
