This 1-bedroom barn is a converted former bull barn in the hamlet of Ollerton near Market Drayton in Shropshire. One of three properties sharing a courtyard on a working farm, this quirky two-storey barn sleeps two and is well suited to couples after a proper countryside escape. Exposed beams and a double-height entrance give it real character.

The Shropshire countryside surrounds you here. Market Drayton is just a short drive away with its street market, independent shops, pubs and the Shropshire Union Canal. Walking and cycling are both popular locally with Regional Cycle Route 75 passing nearby. Lockable bike storage is on site.

Inside you get a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar overlooking the courtyard, a lounge-diner with electric feature fire and Smart TV and a library landing upstairs. The spacious double bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Underfloor heating features in the barn and a ground floor WC adds practicality. Outside there's a private table and chairs plus a shared orchard with a picnic table.

Hawkstone Park Follies (14 miles / 25 mins), Dorothy Clive Gardens (11 miles / 20 mins), Attingham Park (19 miles / 30 mins) and Ironbridge Gorge Museums (19 miles / 30 mins) are all within easy reach.

This stay is ideal for couples wanting peace and countryside. Fresh and welcoming on arrival according to guests, with everything provided. Book it alongside the other barns in the courtyard for a group getaway.
