Graham

Bank House Barn is very comfortable and well equipped and we had a lovely five day break there . It is very convenient for Shrewsbury but has countryside nearby. The Weather was very cold and there was some snow as well so we were grateful to have the wood burning stove and hot tub. The owners were very helpful . One of the best places we have stayed. Highly Recommended.

Lovely quirky place, tucked away and perfect for a peaceful break. Immaculately clean with all the facilities you would need and very friendly owners, nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub is definitely a must. Would highly recommend.

Anthony

Fabulous 3 night stay in this converted barn in Shropshire. The host was extremely lovely and helpful and lots of little extras really made us feel welcome. We've stayed in quite of few of these sort of cabinsbarnsshed type places always with a hot tub and this one is arguably the best we've stayed in! Can't recommend enough guys, book it!

Very happy with the accommodation very comfortable bed and sodas, well equipped property, very warm and cosy, we enjoyed the hot tub so much would recommend.

We had a fabulous five days at Bank House Barn. Sonya and Chris made us feel very welcome and were brilliant hosts. Everything was clean, comfortable, wellpresented and just what we hoped for. Lots of things to do in the area followed by a wonderful soak in the hot tub every evening! We hope its not too long before we return.

Lovely place lovely people very well presented and comfortable Great for ... Lovely place lovely people very well presented and comfortable Great for exploring Shrewsbury and totally off grid which I found impressive warm cosy just book it

We had such a lovely stay at the barn it was beautifully presented and had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The added touches really made it feel special, like the cosy robes for the hot tub and the wine and beer waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. Everything was spotless and so thoughtfully put together, with lots of attention to detail that made it feel really welcoming and homely. The owners were absolutely lovely they greeted us when we arrived and took the time to show us around, making sure we knew how everything worked and that we had everything we needed for our stay. It really added a personal touch and made us feel right at home. The only small downside for me was that the barn is quite close to neighbouring properties, and we could occasionally hear others nearby. It might not bother most people, but Id personally have preferred something a little more secluded. Overall though, its a wonderful place to stay comfortable, stylish, and clearly cared for with love. Id definitely recommend it for a relaxing break.

Excellent little place with hot tub. The owners are friendly and come out to meet you when you arrive and show you around. The location is really handy for Shrewsbury and surrounding areas being very close to the A5. Very secure as well, as it is a building within a gated property. Everything you'd expect to be provided was there plus robes as well which was a nice bonus. At the end of the stay it was a simple case of tidy up and turn everything off this caught us a bit off guard as a lot of places expect you to strip beds and various other things! So that was another nice extra. In summary, we were very impressed with this property and would definitely stay again.

Darren

Highly recommend ! ! It was beautiful,peaceful and the hosts could nit have been more helpful. Will definitely return.

Lovely owner, very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area. Property was comfortable and relaxing. Our only issue was that the pictures are maybe slightly deceiving of the outside space, as we did feel that this was slightly cramped. Not so much an issue for us but for bigger people maybe it would be.

Lovely property. The owners were great in meeting us and getting us settled in with good recommendations on what to do and where to eat. The special touches in the property like snacks, water, milk, dressing gowns and toiletries all added to the experience. The barn is comfortable, clean and well maintained and we slept so well every night. The hot tub was great to use after 2 days of mountain biking. The Shropshire hills are great for exploring and there was so much to do. You also have the beautiful historic Shrewsbury town on the doorstep. What a lovely holiday! Would recommend to everyone.

Rebecca

Booked last minute needed a break to relax and unwind, manged this easy at the accommodation, plenty to see and do if that is your thing, pleasant walk along REA brook on owners land, hot tub massive bonus for me and took fill advantage of it, everything you would need for a self catering break is provided, owners very friendly and approachable. Definitely will book here again

Michelle

We had a fantastic long weekend at Bank House Barn. Its the perfect place to relax and unwind. The accommodation was comfortable and clean providing everything we needed and the hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of the day. We particularly enjoyed meeting the hosts teddy bear sheep and being accompanied on our walk by their lovely dogs. The information provided by our hosts about the local area helped us to make the most of our stay which was over far too quickly. We will definitely return.

Great communication with the owner of the property to arrange to collect the key. Property was very clean and well maintained, and the Hot Tub was lovely. It is in a great location to get into Shrewsbury or beyond. We would definitely recommend the property and would stay there again in the future.

Beautiful place to stay, very clean and homely. The owners were brilliant going out of their way to get some surprise birthday balloons for us. They were very friendly and great hosts. All the things you need are at the property including and iron, hairdryer straighteners and toiletries. The hot tub is a lovely extra touch. A lovely walk through the grounds and feeding the very friendly teddy bear sheep. Would highly recommend and will happily return.

Lovely, cosy cottage, very comfortable and well equipped, and the hot tub was great. Sonya was very friendly and helpful and we appreciated the lovely welcome pack. It was a great base for exploring the area and we hope to return!

Darren

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Bank House Barn, it really ticked all the boxes for us. We got a bit lost, arriving in the dark probably didnt help, but Sonya was on hand to direct us the last couple of turnings. Thank you for letting us stay at Bank House Barn, we will be definitely book mark this one for a future visit.

We had a lovely stay the property was exceptional and the owners were lovely

Tracey

Absolute little gem. Everything was amazing , lots of little extras that had been thought about. The hot tub made our stay just perfect.

Had a very comfortable stay. Everything we needed, excellent bed, very comfy. The hot tub was great, so we could relax at the end of the day. Lovely host who made us very welcome.

My wife and I had a fantastic few days at Bank House Barn. The property was well planned out and had everything we needed to enjoy some peace and quiet. The Hot tub was a welcome addition and we used it every day, very simple to use and ready to go when we got there. The living area was ample for two people and worked well. The upstairs included a bathroom with everything you would need and the bed was amazing. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Shrewsbury was only 10 minutes away by car and we enjoyed some walks there and in the local fields where we met the owners sheep who really did enjoy Rich Tea biscuits! A perfect spot for a very peaceful break.

We had a two night stay here which was absolutely perfect! Beautiful location and a lovely place to stay! We were kept informed of how to get the key and received texts around this etc, directions and recommendations for place to eat! Would certainly recommend a trip into the town and visit the loopy shrew! It was such a nice break for our anniversary we will definitely be returning for another visit!

Antony

Louise

A really lovely cosy property. A warm welcome and the little extras such as welcome basket and shower gel & shampoo were a lovely bonus. A great location to visit lots of lovely parts of Shropshire .

We had a lovely stay in the Bank house, it was spacious inside and had all the facilities and amenities that were needed. Friendly hosts and were available if we needed anything and also gave us ideas of what to do around the area. I would definitely stay there again! Thank you Sonia and Chris!

My partner and I booked this get away last minute for my birthday and I must say that it did not disappoint! Sonia and Chris were lovely! The property itself is stunning, Sonia and Chris were really helpful if you need any suggestions on what to dowhere to go. We highly recommend this property if you want to relax.

Would have liked more comfortable outdoor seating

Shelley

I must confess that we were very cautious about staying in a property that is on the owners land as we usually book places right out in the sticks so we are left alone. However, saying that the lovely owners of this property Chris and Sonia welcome you when you arrive and show you quickly around and then you are completely left alone when in your property you could be miles away in the middle of nowhere. Lovely property super cute and quaint with lovely extra touches like toiletries, eggs, cakes and wine upon arrival. Hot tub was wonderful. very big for just two of you but lovely and hot and very very blissful at the end of a long day walking around the Long Mynd. I would say this is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for some quality time together in a quaint and fabulous location you are extremely close to all sorts of places including Wales Aqueduct in Pontsclliffe was only 40 mins away and well worth the visit. Super thank you Chris and Sonia for a wonderful say. x

Chris and Sonya were so welcoming and offered helpful information and places to go. Nothing was too much trouble. The barn itself was amazing, comfy, cosy and like a home from home. Our stay was so relaxing, we loved seeing the chickens and the hot tub was an added bonus, which we enjoyed both nights. Would highly recommend staying here. Easy check in and out. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks again both

Michael

This property and the owners are amazing. We wanted a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy and we got it. The open fire was great, the bed was so comfy and the surroundings peaceful, the hot tub a great bonus too. The fresh eggs from the chickens were also really nice. We went down into the field to see the teddy bear sheep and they were so friendly and cute. The owners were on hand and very quick to respond if we needed anything. Definitely recommend and we will be returning for another visit.

Holiday accommodation was good but no real outside space parking was not very good no cars shown on photos but owners had three cars. Also owners had three dogs two were lovely but the little sausage dog was quite vicious went for my wife didnt draw blood but left a nasty bruise

What a lovely place to stay, the barn itself is stunning with everything you need at hand, the hot tub was an added bonus we used it every evening. We had intended on having a nice relaxing break and that is exactly what we got. The owners Sonja and Chris are so friendly and welcoming , they went above and beyond to look after us.

Anthony

Just like to say that Karen and I had a lovely time staying at Barn House Barn. ChrisSonya were very welcoming nothing was to must bother cant wait to go back during the summer months. Would highly recommend the Barn if you just want to relax and chill out. KARENTONY

What an absolute treat for a Christmas break! Lovely cottage and really friendly and helpful hosts. Loved the eco ethos which suited our own sensibilities. Thank you! Lorna and Lisa.

Isabelle

Lovely hosts and the cottage is in a beautiful location. Everything you could want on a holiday to be relaxing and cosy. Chris and Sonia are only a text away if you need help with anything or recommend places to go. The cottage itself is wellequipped, with everything you need for your stay. Either relax in the hot tub under the stars or sit infront go the fire and watch a film. If you are wanting a quiet getaway this is for you. Walks from the cottage too are a must, especially to see their Teddy Bear sheep! Would love to go back here and explore the area more as there is so much to do. The Christmas decorations and treats on arrival topped it all off! Loved our stay here, thank you!

Jessica

Absolutely lovely, We haven't been away for over 8 years and we were really looking forward to a break. When we arrived, we were shown around the cottage, and given instructions on how to use appliances in the property and the hot tub. The cottage was immaculate. Cozy and quiet. If theres anything you need at all Sonya & Chris are there to help and give out advice on where to go, they recommended the Nags head for an evening meal which again was lovely, we had some playtime with all there friendly dogs & The Teddy bear sheep stole our hearts. The hot tub the evening is such a lovely touch. We will definitely be back again. Jess & Troy

A nice warm welcome and relaxing weekend.

Really welcoming owners, lovely place to stay and great accessibility to local points of interest. It was such a relaxing weekend away!
