The Barn Reviews

Staying at the Barn was above my expectations, It was spotlessly clean, Very comfortable very well equipped and laid out. As I had a youngish dog with me, I was looking for places to have long walks and interesting areas nearby, which this historic county has aplenty. I enjoyed the relative seclusion for those lazy days with a book, as well as the proximity to the city of Shrewsbury and one of my favourite haunts, the Canals at Ellesmere. Great place to stay and will definitly be looking to book again

What a lovely place, Pete is a real gentleman, provided two fans for us, due to the weather being so hot. The only thing I would say, is beware of the wooden bed! The bottom edge jumped out at my knee twice! Quite a sharp edge to be wary of! The barn had everything you could possibly need.The garden perfectly safe for my little dog to run around. Please dont let the hedge at the bottom of the garden grow much higher, or youll loose the view from the garden. Also would like to know if the solar panels serve the property. Would have liked to see the story and photos of the conversion. Hope to return sometime as its my home county, and it cant be beaten! Thanks Beryl, Val and Bella

4th 11th July 2026 We had a lovely week staying in The Barn, my daughter and partner were staying in The Cow'ouse which is adjoining. The Barn was very spacious and comfortable and there was everything we needed. You could see for miles with the odd farm dotted about. It was so peaceful. The weather that week was really which meant that we didn't go out often or travel far because we have dogs, but that didn't matter, it was just great spending time together and relaxing. The owners were very accommodating and even though Pete was busy getting the harvest in he would have been only to happy to help. Thank you. Wendy, Keith and Yogi Nelson

Trevor

Saucepans need replacing otherwise it was great

Derek Roger

A clean, attractive and well equipped property. We particularly liked the position of 'The Barn' for it was convenient for many of the local attractions.

Gillian

1st stay in April 2026 and we loved it! Clean, spacious and very comfortable. Would highly recommend. Lovely neighbours too! We adored Peppa the Pig...she was great. You can call her and she'd run over! We were very lucky with the sunshine so spent a few afternoons in the garden enjoying the outlook. We'd love to return!

Unfortunately due to a family matter we only stayed at the barn for 9 hours, got a phone call to get home as soon as possible. The barn is one of the most comfortable places weve been to, our dog Belle settled as soon as we arrived loved the French doors from lounge to garden she was constantly in and out. The barn has everything you need for a perfect stay and is so peaceful would I recommend definitely A

Andrea

Fabulous property in countryside location. We will be returning which should say it all! However to explain its like home from home, fully equipped property, comfortable beds, great showers and lovely comfortable lounge adequate parking and host Pete and his mum were very friendly

This is a very clean and comfortable barn conversion, in a lovely area. It is very quiet and relaxing. The barn has been converted to a very high standard and I would definitely recommend it

A very quiet and beautiful location, the house us well maintained and the owners are friendly. This is one of the best we have visited and thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of the area.

Christopher

A very comfortable and clean property in a very peaceful location. The owners were very attentive without being intrusive. This was my first visit to the property, but it wont be my last!

Pauline

The Barn is an amazing place to stay very comfortable and clean . The lawned garden was secure for our doggie to run around on. Pete the owner welcomed us and checked to see if everything was ok. The barn is in a great position to visit other places in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend this property and also the Cowouse next door as we visited that one last year. Would definitely revisit in the future.

Had an enjoyable and relaxing 3 nights at the barn. Everything was ideal and very warm. Great company with our next door neighbours 3 pigs. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in Shropshire as it was ideal for a base in order to travel around and explore the county.

Richard

The property was immaculate and very well cared for. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. Every need was catered for and the dog friendly garden was the only true dog friendly area we have encountered. The cottage is ideally placed to discover all the area has to offer especially the many potteries. Local convenience store and fish and chip shop very useful. The peaceful and relaxing location would delight most people.

Excellent stay , the property was imacculate well equipped ,Pete was so helpful when our car broke down ,he held the fort with the car keys while we drove home in a hire car . Nothing was too much for him and his mum .we hope to visit again next year with functional car

Our second visit to the barn and we will return again. Pete and the family make sure evrything about the property is first class and a real home from home.

Instantly felt at home here. Everything we needed and more. Very light and spacious. Garden was an excellent size, really close to Shrewsbury and shopping areas. Really good base to explore the area. Lovely and warm. Would recommend to anyone.

We had a very comfortable relaxing break and were really sorry to leave. We will be back!

Hannah

I stay in at least three different cottages a year and this is a great one. Its got all the small things you need that are so often missing A bread knife! A dressing gown hook! A dishwasher tablet for each night of the stay!. No tacky knickknacks cluttering up the place and getting in your way. Gorgeous views from all three sides, spacious, quiet and secluded.

Amanda

We were very pleased with the barn. It is an amazing and gorgeous place. Cannot find any fault with this place. Spotlessly clean upon arrival and so well set up with everything you need. The garden is lovely and secure if you have a dog and the view is just wonderful, whether you are sitting outside or in. The bed was so comfortable, lovely shower and the towels were fluffy and smelt gorgeous. The kitchen has everything you need, even washing up liquid, cloths and teatowels are provided. The sofas in the living room are very cosy and comfortable. Set down a quiet country lane it is so peaceful with just the birds singing, we had a morning visit everyday from a little robin. Well situated to explore and visit lots of different towns around the area. All in all this is perfect for a relaxing break.

Have come home very relaxed after a wonderful stay in this very clean and comfortable cottage. Great garden for relaxing in and ideal for dogs. The location is spot on for exploring the beautiful surroundings and we were made to feel very welcome. Would not hesitate to book again. Fantastic! x

Wow! Everything about this cottage was perfect. Beautiful surroundings, friendly owners who couldnt be more accommodating. The cottage was absolutely stunning, it had everything you could need & was so cosy. The cleanliness was top notch. Everything was sparkling clean. It made our holiday perfect. Thank you for everything x

Andrew

A lovely well maintained property. Set in beautiful surroundings. We had a great time relaxing and dog walking. Would highly recommend staying here.

Maureen

The Barn is a very comfortable well equipped property in peaceful surroundings , thoroughly enjoyed our stay . The Owners Pete and Pam were very welcoming and informative. Thank you.

Lovely newly renovated barn on farmland. Peaceful and an ideal stopover when visiting family in nearby Shrewsbury.

The property is very comfortable and well equipped. Its situated down a track off a quiet country lane and well positioned to visit towns and attractions in Shropshire. The owner was available if we needed assistance and came to visit towards the end of the week. There is a nice seating area in the garden which we took full advantage of having visited during a heatwave. We had a lovely holiday and wouldnt hesitate to recommend the property to others.

Rodney

The Barn is a beautiful renovation with plenty of space for 2 couples. The place was very clean and fittings were modern and very swish. The south facing garden had the sun from dawn to dusk a real sun trap we were very lucky with the weather. About 10 minutes drive from the village of Shawbury, which had a couple of shops and takeaways. Access to many beautiful areas ranging from open moors to woodland walks and National Trust venues. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and we had a fantastic time. Thank You

Jennifer

Very comfortable cottage and enjoyed the peacefulness.

Maureen

This holiday cottage is beautifully presented. It is in a very quiet spot with views of open fields. The owner is friendly and helpful and he called to make sure everything was OK. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to other holidaymakers.

We loved the property and the location. Being newly renovated everything was like new and the decoration was excellent. It would have been handy to have a welcome pack on arrival that included more than a pint of milk and 3 teabags however we do take onboard that the property listing didnt mention a welcome pack.

A lovely cottage with everything we needed. It was a beautiful and quiet spot surrounded by fields and wildlife. We found some excellent walks and things to do within a short drive. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We would happily go again and definitely recommend it. The cottage was spotless and well maintained. A great holiday.

Deborah

The property was absolutely amazing, one of the best properties we have stayed in and the location is fantastic! We enjoyed the peace and serenity of the property and its location. The whole property was well thought out and super comfortable. It was lovely that Pete popped over to check that everything was okay and I was blown away to hear that this gorgeous accommodation was once a cowshed! We would love to come back again as there is so much more to explore in Shropshire and the ideal location makes it easy to access some really beautiful places!
